The Fall of Vicksburg Certain.
Troops in Admirable Spirits.

Mr. S. c. Scott, a river man, well
known in the West, and especially so in
this city, arrived last evening from
Grants army, direct, and by the quick
est available means of transportation,
viz: the swift steamers Sultana and I'm
perial to Cairo, and thence by railroad
to St. Louis. Being in haste, having
Just crossed the river from the cars, the
Interview had with him by our reporter
was necessarily brief but interesting
Mr.. Scott left Young,s Point on the
Sultana, on Sunday morning. He has
been among our soldiers and fortifca-
tons east of Vicksburg, and was present
while the brisk operations were being
carried on. The army completely sur
rounded Vicksburg and its Notifications.
Our forces were well prepared to repel
| any attack that might be made on their
rear, and entirely able to reduce Vicks-
burg, take all the guns, and make pris-
oners of the entire garrison. The troops
were in admirable spirits, every man
seeming to be inspired with the vigor
and determination that make heroes.
Vicksburg will be ours without doubt;
it matters not what force johnson may
concentrate in the rear. He says it was
force under Gen. Blair which was un-
successful on Friday, and not "our en-.
tire line" He (Blair) moved against
the ''big battery or redoubt, but failed
to take it. But, Gen. Blair, he learned
was blowing up the enemy by mining.
Whenever and wherever the rebels at
tempted to plant gun, ours compelled
the work to cease, and the rebels were
put to their wits end, at every point, ant
can hardly fail of being convinced of th,
utter hopelessness of their struggle.
Our wounded were being forwarde'
rapidly and without interruption to th
river at Chickasaw Bayou, just below
Haines' Bluff, where boats were in suff
cient number to receive them. The Cit

Official Tispatch.

WASHINGTON, May 29-An official dis
patch to the War Department received
to-day from the General commanding the
ram fleet, dated Helena, Arkansas, May
25th, says:
GAS my command was descending the
river from Memphis, May 23d, my Com

band of the enemy with two pieces of
artillery, about six miles above Austria.

my arrival, captured a small trading
steamer and burned her, taking her crew
captives, and appropriating her freight
could obtain no intelligence from the
inhabitants by which to guide my move
ments. Ny cavalry under Hubbard, 200
strong, came up with the enemy, 1000
strong and all mounted, eight miles out
The fight lasted near two hours. The
Major was compelled to take shelter in
favorable position, where he succeeded
in repulsing the enemy and drove them
off before the infantry could come to his
relief Our loss was two killed and 10
wounded, most of them slightly.
The enemy left five dead on the field
and a Lieutenant MORALLY wounded, and

We burned the town of Austria. As
the fire progressed, the discharge of fire
arms was like volleys of musketry as the
fire reached their hiding place.

worthy sources we are informed that the
whole rebel force in Virginia does not
number $4,000 men and this statement
allows them 10000 for reinforcements
received since the battle of Chancellor
w * washington letter TO the CONNER
cial says although it has been contradic-
ted, it is true that the President did re-
ceieve dispatch day or two ago from
Gen. Grant, in which he stated that he
had intercepted dispatch from the
rebel Secretary of War, not to jeff
Davis, as published, to Gen. Pemberton,
stating that if he could hold out at Vicks-
burg Is days longer he could send him
100000 Gen. Grant adds that this was
impossible, for two reasons 1st, That
Colonel Grierson had so destroyed the
railroads in Mississippi that that number
of men could not be forwarded in that
time. End, That Gen. Pemberton could
not hold out fifteen days. Gen. Grant
was sanguine.

WASHINGTON, May GA special to
the New York Post SAYS:
Military men here do not credit the
report that the rebel leaders are concen-
trating an unusually large force in Vir-
glnia, bnt believe rather that every sol
der who can be spared from Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina. had
been sent to Mississippi to relieve Penn
berton and Johnston, or if too late to
save Vicksburg, to sieze some other
point on the Mississippi river or to
strengthen Port Hudsonso as to make its
capture of great difficulty. Gov. Curtin
is, however, of different opinion with
Gen. Schenck for the defense of the
Pennsylvania border.
The rebel accounts of six unsuccess-
full assaults are exaggerations, they seem
to haye magnified every reconnaissance
into an assault
1t seems certain, however, that once
since Saturday Grant did make pretty
good general assault, and failed to carry
the rebel works
Johnston has not yet attacked Grant
but is gathering his forces not far away.
1t was not supposed that the city could
hold out longer than the 2Sth, under the
tremendous fire of Grant artillery.
Another Murfreesboro' dispatch says
an order was sent to the camps last
night to hold themselves in readiness tc
march at a moments notice.

The Tribune gives the Situation
Rebels have plenty of Troops
Grant makes AeadWay.

New York, May 3O-The Tribune
says at 2 o'clock this morning, our
Washington correspondent telegraphed
the facts of the situation at Vicksburg
thus summed up by high authority.
Grant has, step by step, driven the
turning the others against them. They
however, have troops to relieve each
other, as often as may be desired
in defending the line of their
works, but he is continuing, without Sc
rious, if any molestation from Johnston
SO far, to assail successfully, but gradu-
ally in order to take as much care as
possible of the lives of his troops, en-
gagged in the desperate fighting OF such
siege.
The Times says there is no prospect
that anything will be attempted in the
Department of the South this summer
Orders have been sent to- give fur
loughs, These instructions are to be
carried out forthwi tn.

CAIRO, May 29.-By Jewett Wilcox,
clerk of the steamer Hillman, l learn
the following from Vicksburg to Monday
night:
Our army occupies the same position
it did on last Friday. Sherman on the
right, two miles from Haines' Bluff
McClernand one and half miles from
the Court House, in the center Nc
There has been no fighting since Sun
day. This is the latest news up TO Tues
day night, per steamer Pike, at Mem
phis, last evening.
The gunboats have captured most of
the water batteries, but one formida bic
one remains which Admiral Porter
thinks he will be able to reduce as soon
as he can make preparations to coDcen-
trate the fire of all the gun and mortar
boats upon it.
A report was current as the Pike left
that the rebels were in force under Joe
Johnston at Black river bridge, but it
was believed Logan's force, with the
liberal amount of artillery he has, would
effectually stop all attempts at crossing.
Logan's pickets are keeping vigilant
watch along the river, up and down, for
a long distance Johnstons force is re-
ported to be about $4,000, and increas-
ing. The intelligence did not seem to
be regarded as of much consequence by
our commander, who is confident that
the city will soon be compelled to sur
render.
The report that Pembel ton offered tC
surrender Vicksburg on terms is con
frmed
1t is also believed the reported arrival
of Banks at Warrenton is true. We
have news from Memphis to last evening
2Sth, but nothing had arrived from be
low since the City of Memphis.

Fears Entertained of Johnston.

ST. Louis, May 30.-Mr. S. c. Scott, a
well-known river man, arrived tonight
from Young's Point on Sunday last He
had been with Grants army and saw
some of its operations.
He says that our forces felt prepared to
repeI any attack on the rear, and were in
excellent spirits and confident of their
ability to capture Vicksburg and its gar
riSon.
He says that the attack on the fortif-
cations on Friday was not made by the
entire line, as reported, but by force
under General Blair, who assaulted the
big battery and failed.
Wherever the rebels attempted to plant
guns they were foiled by our shar pshoot
ers.
Our wounded are being rapidly for
warded to the river.
The base of supplies on the river was
secure.
Reinforcements were arriving.
Osterhaus was wounded, but not Sc
verely.
