From Vicksburg.

WASHINGTON, June Is.
Official advices from Vicksburg, dated / It'll,
have been received here. They are of most
cheering character. Our artillery and NOR

short of ammunition, and provisions are scarce
and not to be bought at any price The gar
rison is subsisting on quarter rations, mainly
OF corn meal and peas. The women and chill
dren seek shelter in caves from our shells,
which fall heavy on the city, and consequently
but few lives are lost among them.
The enemy occupy Canton and Yazoo City
in considerable force.
