Interesting News from Vicks-
burg and ThereabOuts.

PHILADELPHIA; June S.-A dispatch
to the Bulletin, from Cincinnati, Stb, says
the Commercial publishes letter dated
Memphis, June Sd, which gives the fol-
lowing intelligence:
the Black river bridge with his entire
division, watching Gen. Js Johnston,
who appeared on the 1st and I'd instant
with five hundred infantry and some ar
tillery. Shots were exchanged, and the
rebels retired Gen. Johnston is said to
have eighteen thousand men, poorly arm
ed and deficient in artillery. There is no
probability of his being able to relieve
Pemberton. The gunboats ran up to va
zoo City several days ago, and destroyed
much property Several rebel transports
were seen further up the Sunfower and
Tallahatchie, which temporarily escaped.
Communication with Gen. Banks is kept
open upon the Louisiana shore.
Guerrillas infest the region between
Lake Providence and Grand Gulf with
impunity. The Government plantations
are selected for attack. One hundred
negroes have been driven off or hung.
Every negro with Federal uniform is
mercilessly suspended tc the nearest tree.
The formidable batteries along the Mis-
sissippi, on the first line above the water
abattis, are all silenced, save one at the
extreme upper part of Vieksburg. 1t
mounts two heavy guns and two twenty
eight Founders. The rebel battery on the
forward hill is composed of six guns of
very heavy calibre. The Federals have
mounted heavy guns in front and bate
ry diagonally at the point.
The rebel rumor from Richmond that
Kirby Smith had attacked Gen. Banks at
Port Hudson is hardly credited, though
some uneasiness is felt.
A rumor from down the river says
Smith has arrived at Carthage, La, which
is very doubtful.
The Cincinnati Commercial has dis
patch dated Mount Vernon, June 9th,
which says reliable information from
Knoxville places the number Of troops
there at twelve thousand, at London
bridge six hundred, and at Strawberry
Plains six hundred.
Rebels all agree that Gen. Tracy holds
Cumberland Gap, with twenty thousand
rebel troops. The last information places
Gen. Pegram's forces at Monticello. The
number of his troops varies from five to
eight thousand.
A dispatch from Somerset, KY, on the
9Th inst, says the rebel pickets for two
days.past have not shown themselves op-

AsHINGToN, june 9.-Gen. Banks, in
an official report dated Port Hudson. May
Both, gives an account of the attack on
that place similar to the reports already
published. In speaking of the negro
troops, he says they answered every ex-
pectation. Their conduct was heroic.
No troops could be more determined or
more daring. They made during the day
three charges upon the batteries of the
enemy, suffering very heavy losses, and
holding their position at nightfall with the
other troops ON the right of our line. The
highest commentator is bestowed upon
them by all the officers in command on
the right. Whatever doubt may have
existed heretofore as to the efficiency of
organization Of this character, the history
of this day proves conclusively to those
who were in condition to observe the
conduct of these reg giments, that the gov
ernment will find in this class Of troops
effective supporters and defendeas. The
severe test to which they were subjected
and the determined manner in which they
encountered the enemy leave upon my
mind no doubt of their ultimate success
They require only good of6cers-com
mands of limited numbers and careful
discipline, to make them excellent sol
diers
Our losses from the 23d to this date, il
killed, wounded and missing, are nearly
one thousand, including, 1 deeply regre
to say, some of the ablest officers of the
corps. a

Bloody Cavalry Fight ON the
KappahannOck.

New York, June 10.-A special to
the Post from Washington says: The
fight between Hooker's cavalry and Stu
arts force yesterday was very brilliant
exploit. Our men crossed the Rappahan-
mock and made the attack, driving the
rebels from their intrenchments and took
a great body Of prisoners, number un-
known.
From an officer who participated in the
fight, it is ascertained that yesterday
morning two brigades of Gen. Pleasanton' s
cavalry, under command of Gen. Buford,
made an important reconnaissance. toward
Culpeppcr, and had one of the most OBJ
stinate cavalry fights that has occurred
during the war The force was composed
of Gen. Buford's brigade and another cav
airy brigade under command of Col B. +.
Davis, supported by two batteries of ar
tillery and two regiments of infantry as a
reserve. Monday night the cavalry BIZ
vouacked near Beverly ford, on the Rap
pahannock, and drove the pickets back
to the rife pits, and after a desperate COM
bat cleared the woods, the enemy falling
back upon their artillery and maintaining

artillery came up, and they were driven
back six miles in the direction of Culpep-
per Court House. Our forces then return
ed and recrossed the ford in good order.
Nearly all the fighting was done by the
cavalry, and it was of the bloodiest char
acter, mostly hand to hand. Our loss was
considerable, and the slaughter of rebels
fearful. The approximate number of the
casualties on both sides are not vet re-
ported. Col. B. F. Davis, 9Th New York
cavalry, was killed; Captain b. +. Feote,
killed; Lieutenant Reeves, mortally woun-
ded; Lieutenant Bayne, severely wounded;
Captain Garfield, Of the regular cavalry.

By this sudden and brilliant dash Of
cavalry into the encmy's lines. their plans
have been frustrated and the intended raid
Of Stuart's forces prevented.

ry fight as the greatest of the war. Rev

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, june IS.-Dr. Hewett,
recently from Richmond, gives it as his
opinion that Grant will surely take Vicks-

given up the attempt to relieve it. He
thinks the rebels will make efforts to seize
and hold some other point on the Missis-
sippi.

New York, June S.-The Steamer Con-
tinental from New Orleans I'd, arrived to-
night. From files OF the Era, We extract
the following: An immense number OF
wagons, about six hundred, filled with
three thousand mules and horses and fif-
teen hundred head of cattle together with
all the troops in the Teche country, as
guard, the advance regiment being the 41st
Massachusetts,, under Col. Chickering,
arrived at New Orleans from Barr's land
ing on the 3Oth. On the march they had
several small skirmishes with guerrillas
who infested the country and hung on the
rear of our column.
Many of those protesting loyalty, when
our army marched through some time
since, showed unmistakable qualification
at the withdrawal Of our forces. Several
officers, who delayed leaving Franklin
until our tIoops passed, were captured by
guerrillas.
A committee of Union citizens has re-
quested Gov. Shepley to order the regis
tration of the voters Of the State, in order
that loyal people can select delegates to q
convention, at which they will organize
the State government of Louisiana loyal
to the United States. Governor Shepley,
in a long letter, fully promises all the aid
in his power.

n@ The Wheeling people are dreadful
scary but they do not appear to be very
much alarmed about the safety of Wash

ourself that the large body of troops lay

ing it so long time, had much better be
sent off where they can be made available
than remain where there never was any
real need Of them.
So much has been said by the Wash
