BY LAST NIGHTS MAIL,

CAIRO, May 2S-By the arrival of the
steamer Imperial from Memphis, last
evening, in default of all letters and
dispatches from CORRESPONDENTS, 1 gather
from the officers of the boat and other
reliable persons, the following latest
news from Vicksburg. The information
came from Young's Point to Memphis
on Wednesday by the steamer City of
Memphis, United States hospital boat,
she having brought up about four hun
dred wounded. 1t appears that, as pre-
viously reported, General Grant had ia
ken all the enemy's works with the ex-
ception of redouot, in which their en-
tire force were gathered and which they
defended with pixies, the elevation being
too steep to use firearms This was or
dered to be taken on the Odd General
Alvin P. Hovey's brigade pressed for
ward and attempted an esealade by the
use of ladders. At one time there was
hope of success, Gen. Hovey having,
with his own hands, planted our colors
upon their wall, but after hard fighting,
our troops were repulsed with Sreat loss,
and that attempt for the time abandoned.
As this was the forlorn hope of the
enemy, it was supposed some means
could be found to take it before the
rebels could bring forces to his flank.
The loss in General Hovey's brigade
must be severe
