'gobbled up" by the active army Of General
Grant According to the dispatches which we
have published from rebel newspapers, tho
Union forces came up in front OF the city on
the 10th Of July, from which time there had
been very severe fighting every day down to
the 10th. Dispatches from the beseged army
Of that day, to the Richmond Enquirer say
can entire block in this city was destroyed by
the enemy's shells yesterday. Heavy rein
forcements for Grant continue to arrive, who
are pressed on our right for the purpose of
| crossing Pearl river above and fanking u.s.
The enemy are planting siege guns on their re-
doubts. 1t is supposed that tomorrow the re.
mainder Of Jackson will be burned
| If such were the best reports which, on
the lGth could be furnished from Jack
son for the ediication of JEFF. Davis in
Richmond, we have no doubt that day
or two thereafter Jackson and Joe John
ston shared the fate of vicksburg and Pember-
ton. Johnston some time ago was represented
as having scraped together from various odds
and ends an army of about twenty thousand
men. At Jackson it probably amounted to
twenty-five thousand, aud with this force
behind his Notifications he no doubt calculated
upon successfully defending his position. But
of what use are Notifications to city when it
can be destroyed by the enemy's shells?r We
| guess, therefore, that, if Johnston was not per-
suaded by the 'enemy's shells' to surrender in
order to save the city, he consented to it's de-
structon in order to try to escape with his
army amid the smoke and the noise and confu-
sion incident to great confag-ation.
Thus much for the situation Of Johnston at
Jackson on the 10th Of July. From the ac-
counts OF rebel newspaper correspondents It
was hardly more promising situation than that
of Pemberton on the 3D.. With the capture or
| destruction Of Johnston's army there will be
nothing left to Mobile but graceful capitula-
tion on the approach Of Gen. Grant. At the
same time no doubt Gen. Banks, with his army
Of Port Hudson, is en- route across Western
Louisiana or actively preparing for the i'm
portant mission Of the remuneration of Texas.
Our last advices from General Rosecrans To-
Gated him down at Rome, IN Georgia, in pursuit
OF Bragg, who, II was reported was endeavor-
ing to make junction with Joe Johnston flour
hundred miles westward), but that desertions
from his army in the meantime were very nu-
merous. And why should they not be, espe-
cially from bis Tennessee regiments, the men
of which would be very apt to conclude that,
under all the circumstances of the case, Brsgg's
retreat involved his absolute abandonment of
Tennessee as Q State which could M Ionoer bo
