tory, but the puzzle is most pcrple1lng
one 10 reconcile this report with the other
and more circumEtantial rebel account Of
severe and heavy fighting on the 18th and
10th, in which Federal advantage is con-
fessed, and serious losses on both sides re-
ported.
Why our own news from jackson on
Sunday last, should make no reference to
battles fought and won on Friday and Sat
urday, is no light mystery. There has GER
ainly been heavy and most probably deci-
siye work ere this, and the next wsmust
bring tie tiGings, until then to he awaited
with fevcrish anxiety. Unless the rebel
press have purpose in assembling the
real nature Of the situation, all is look |
ing well; but even by their statement,
no conclusive result had been reached.
Vicksburg was still in rebel hands. The
general engagement had not been fought.
Ere this, it doubtless has been, and we
shall soon hare the solution Of the doubt
and obscurity that since the operations at
Port Gibson las rested o1er Gen. Grants
daring inroad into the heart of Mississippi
Our Springfield dispatch contains an ab-

Shortly, an enrolment Of the National
forces in Illinois, as we'll as in her sister
States. What we lave done will not be

neighbors, By believing there will be no
draft in Illinois.
The occupation Of sharkish pay and
pension agents is gone, as far as Indiana
troops arc concerned, for hereafter the
duly accredited State agent located at
Washington, is to attend to all such busi-
ness Tor the Hoosier boys, free Of cost. If
he performs these important functions rs
we have reason to believe he will, it will
lie thousands Of dollars saved to the fam
lilies and survivors Of the brave 1ndianians
fallen in service, or still in our armies. If
there be claim that should be met with
out penny of expense to the owner, it is
the hard-carned stipend Of the soldier, or
the tulflment Of the pledge from the Gov
