CAIRO, Jan. lF. ;
When vicksburg is again attacked it will
probably be from an entirely different point
to that chosen by Gen. Sherman. Our forces can
land at Shippers Landing, fifty miles above
Yicksburg, and march by one of the best
roads in Mississippi to Yazoo City, where the
rebels have some twenty-five transports, Of
various sizes These can be seized and
retained as prizes, or destroyed. The army
once across the Yazoo river, can march to the
rear of the battery at Hams Bluff, and also
to the rear of Vicksburg. Where the rail-
road connects with jackson, it can be severed
before the commencement of an action, thus
cutting off reinforcements or retreat. The
Mobile and Ohio railroad is not completed,
