the passage up Big Black river
Our land force can easily reach the Vicks-
burg and Jackson Railroad bridge, and cut of
the rebel supplies. The rebels will be compelI-
ed to come out of their stronghold and fight, or

tion Of Grants army.
The rebels are greatly alarmed at the progress
OF the Federal forces in Northern Mississippi,
From their papers we learn that on the 36th
of April they occupied Senatobla, and cut the
telegraph at Sardls. A force was also out near
Houston, Intending to destroy the Mississippi
Central Railroad at ROmona aud Duck mn.
They also havea dispatch stating that the Fed
