FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

JACKSON, Miss, June lS-For the first time in four
days heavy firing heard at Vicksburg this morning.
Last accounts represent that Grant is busy fortiyng
and cutting down trees beyond the Big Black TO impede
Johnsons movements They also represent that great
distress prevails among citizens inside of the enemys
lines The Yankees have robbed them of all their pro-
visions; and numbers are in starving condition.
OsYKA, June l6--Uia Mobile I9M-0f6cers from
Port Hudson report that all is SAFE and the garrison in
good spirits, with provisions for three months. The
enemy has made twentyseven assaults with loss Of
five thousand Our loss is three hundred.
JACKSON, June l7-0ia Mobile l9h-NumerOus cou-
rers have arrived from Vioksburg within the past few
DAYS. Their reports stereotyped. Beyond the fact
that Grants appers and miners are at work to blow up
our works, there is nothing new.
A courier from Port Hudson, with dispatches to
Gen. Johnston arrived last night. He reports that the
garrison is in fine condition and spirits. Banks force
ia estimated at twenty thousand. 1t is also reported
that he has abandoned the idea of stormng the place
and gone to ditching.
Official dispatches from Mliken's Bend state that our
attack upon that place was @ilure The enemy had
three lines of works. He was driven out Of two, but
made desperate stand at the third, aad with the
sstance of his gunboats repealed forces. Nothing
ia known outside of official circles of Kirby Smiths
movements.
Advices from Memphis state that the wounded on
transports are still arriving from Vicksburg.

The Austrian project the contrary maintained the
union of Poland and Russia and proposed that Poland
should receive an administration exclusively Polish and
kind of provincial representation endowed with suti
Gent powers to guarantee its Independence and the full
enjoyment of political rights. Religious Liberty would
be secured, aud the Polish language declared official
general and absolute amnesty would be extended to
all the acts of tho nurrectiOn and to the persons Of
all insurgents without exception.
The Austrian project is said to have been adopted by
the Cabinets of London and Paris with the reserve of
few additions and notifications. The three courts
were request the Cabinet Of St. Petersburg 10 make
known It's intentions at early date The most mpOr-
tant point in these diplomatic notes is that the
three Powers speak significantly OF the necessity to Sc
cure soon as possible the cessation of this bloody
struggle This news is looked upon in Europe as highly
favorable TO the hopes of the Poles.

| TIE CHEMISTRY OF MEplcl.E.-
Among the special delights which have
SO richly repaid our visit TO New Eng
land was the inspection, il was our priv.
,lege to make Of DR.. J. c Aver 4 Co..
Laboratory, at Lowell Although We
knew by hear-ssy, that it was large, yet
We were surprised when We came into
view Of its real magnitude, and still
more by the extent and complication OF
its truly immense business. The whole
massive structure is in fact one vast
chemicsl laboratory, in which the pro.
cesses OF this wonderful art are constant.
y going on. Medico chemical science
has found that the curative properties OF
any substance exist 10 some ono or more
of It's component parts. Thus the rem
cdial effects OF opium are due eolely TO
the morphia it contains, although this is
but one eighteenth part Of its weight !;
the other seventeen parts are gum, ex-
tract've and inert or offensive matter.
DIR. Ayers system separates the medical
properties OF each substance EMPLOYED
and We are here shown the processes by
which the viitues of each remed,a
agent arc chased through the alembics
until they come ont completely pure at
last. !. These concentrated purified med
ical properties, or virtues, are finally
combined together t, produce the rem.
edles which have made themselves
reputation for unrivalled excellence, all
over the world. Not only does the
Doctor disclalm all secrecy in his art
and explain every process and every
particular, but he maintains that this Is
the only process by which the people
can't be supplied with the best possible
remedies for the treatment Of disease
The formula by which bis remed 90 are
made are published in the medical Jour.
nals and have been presented to large
part OF the medical Faculty Of the Unl-
led States, and are constantly sent by
mail to such physicians as apply for
