His bombastic dispatch from Western Virginia
secured his elevation. His reputation was founded
ON lies. In lies he lowered, and under lies he is lost

The Situation at yicksburg.

The capture of Grand Gulf is an important
step towards the reduction of Nicksburg.
The works at this point were designed with
great skill; they were not completed, nor
were they manned or equipped to resist Admi-
raj Porters attack. 1t is evident that the en-
envy was taken by surprise. The project of
running by the Vicksburg batteries had been
thought too bold to be entertained by the
commanders of the national forces. 1t had
been entertained however, was realized, and
found the defenses at Grand Gulf inadequate
to withstand the weight of artillery brought to
bear upon them.
The strategic Importance of Grand Gulf in
the present siege results from its situation at
the mouth of the Big Black river, which flows
about twelve miles in the rear Of Vicksburg
and empties into the Mississippi just above
Grand Gulf. The place derives its name from
a remarkable bend of the Mississippi, forming
deep recess also called Grand Gulf Ten
years ago it had population of about 1900,
and the number has not probably increased
much. The Big Black is 40 yards wide at its
mouth, and is navigable for steamers for 80
miles.
Now it must be remembered that Pember-
ton holds Vicksburg only so long as he holds
the forty miles of railway between Vicksburg
and jackson. The city hangs like ripe APP
pie by that single stem, and will fall into our
hands whenever it is broken. There are no
western communications The city will be
completely invested whenever this line is &C.
cupied; whenever it is even threatened, Penn
berton will be compelled to march out to its
defense. This is so clear, that every effort
hitherto has been aimed, either directly or in
directly, at this railroad. The various at
tenpts to force or turn the batteries which
close the Yazoo at Haines' bluff, and Sher-
mans assault on the Chickasaw bluffs, were
so many attempts to reach the road from the
north. The Lake Providence and Vicksburg
canals were designed to open the way for such
operations below as have just been commenc-
ed. 1t was much shorter and even safer
way, as it has since proved, to follow the riv-
er; but that is Farragut's way, and his perso-
nal presence was requisite to secure its adop-
ton.

As the especial admirers of Gen. Mcclellan
have insisted, over and over again, that he
was the only federal general for whom the
rebels entertained any fear, or whose wisdom,
sagacity and military genius baflied their skill
and caused them to tremble with alarm, we
are disposed to entertain our readers with a
few extracts from the Richmond Wing of April
21st. The article from which we quote was
entitled "The late George b. Mcclellan" and
ran as follows:
Young Napoleon is dcad--dead beyond resurree-
fion. In the flesh he may still walk the EARTH but in
spirit. in power in the hope of glory he is defunct
II is noteworthy fact that the ualoos and hui aba DOS
this person have ceased in lankeeland. For
two three months after his dismissal he was the
sympathy; but even now Beast Butler has grander
ovauons than he His name is seldom heard among
lnen, lie is no more.
Nothing is easier to prove than that the elevation
of Mcclellan TO the position of Commander-n-C hief
OF the Yankee army was all that was needed after
the election of Lincoln, TO insure our independence
The recital Of afew facts will show how greatly we
are indebted to him.
In October, 1861, he had 100000 men and the most
overwhelming array of field artillery that had ever
been upon this continent. Before him was an
army of 10000 Confederafes occupying Masons and
Munson's Hill, and defianty daring him to come out

Splendid he had but TO advance in force gain an

But he knew his men towards, and he afraid
OF his reputation. lie did not want TO fight; he sought

ments by way of Leesburg, which ended horribly
