4 Vivid Description of Shell Firing,

v1cssBEuo, June 4, 1865.
Yesterday morning and evening trcmen.
dous cannonaae was opened along our whole
Ines, ard from the gunboats. It was the saw
age Civilizations Of dozen 4fh5 Of July. The
war clouds rolling down rapidly flitd the air
and obscurcd the works Of the enemy. The
shots were generally thrown, believe, over
the rebel redoubta, as lar as possible into the
heart Of the city. From various sources We
learn that our the11s have done the enemy no

Children are burroving through the
bowels Of the city, like the ancient
Christians through the Catatombs Of Rome
The entrance to this enbterranean abode is
directly btneath tile high point known rs the
"Sky Parlor," not far from the Court House.
Last eyehirg afforded = fne view Of the bonn
bardmeut Of the mortar boats, which the
editor of the Vieksburg 1F1ig thought the
Ladies' Of the city would SO much eufoy be-
holding from their vcranlahs- The sight was
one of the Gublimest have ever seen, aud
although q common one in tho army, is
doubtless novel to many Of your readers.
The evening might have been more favorable
Fort TIC moon, although subdacd BY bank
Of c1l.ule, Was ut its fl1sl quarter, and some

lntiu.ation that 4 bomb vas coming

like meteor half aglow, could be seen slowly
clir,t.iag the sky, lnomentarily yi.iblc, and
as oft<n dlsarre airing as the globe Of DEATH"

the fuee Of tie :leu began to ascend. the
sound If the discharge wou1d come swinging
Along the air with eullen boom. Mean
while the shelf can be seen slowly making its

nirg At the came time you hear IL rushing
suucI, broken somewhat like that Of loco
motive in the distance, and ceasiug with 4
sudden thump. Sometimes the shell explodes
before reaching the earth, breaking into q
puff Of flame and smoke. Then follows q
sharp crash that makes the earth stakc again.
The whole scene is rintt,nian and sublime.
The rise Of the dim fir Oft light. through the
ether is like the flight Of 4 soul to imlortali-
tt. The descent Is ]ise the fall Of Luc;fer,
with 1lideous ruin and combustion, down to
bottouIless perdition." When the shell ex-
plodcs inst before reaching this earth, the
velocity Of the fragments thrown in tho sama
direction with The line of descent must be
ffigltfal, adding the velocity given By the
bursting Of the shell. to tha. acquired by tile
tremendous mass Of iron, after rushing thou
eends Of feet downward through the air.

AN INCIDENT N V1RG1N1A.-A recent letter
from the Rappahannock, published in the
Boston Transcript, mentions tho following
incident:
On Wednesday, Sd inst, Il rebel picket
came oyer, bathing, when our guard ordered
him out Of the river. He went back, put on
his clothing, took deliberate aim ut the sol"
der who sent him away and shot him dead
A flag of truce was Immediately ordered by
Mai, Gen. Hooker, who demanded the instant
surrender Of the murderer. The rebel CON-
mander complied forthwith, and the offender
was sent to Gen. Hooker's headquarters 4
prisoner, with a message to deal with him as
he thought proper. He is at this moment in
