The War in Mississippi.

= JACKSON, N1ay At.-UeueTal Oouustuu,
Humphrey Marshall and Governor Pettus
arrived here yesterday. Of Johnston's
movements, but little is known. He is
constantly on the move, and turns up all
most any where and any time. Great ac-
tivity prevails.
Slowly we receive scattering particulars
of affairs at Vicksburg, and I rejoice to say
that they are not so bad as first represented.
On Monday, the Federals commenced
feeling the weakest and most vulnerable
point of the Vicksburg works-the ap-
proach by the jackson Road-and on
Thursday morning, Ito o'clock, advanced
to the assault in a rather cute and ridicu-
lous manner They advanced their. flags
close to the works, with their negro troops
lin front, and lay down. BoWen's gallant
Missonrians never fired shot. The other
regiments then marched up, and the whole
assaulting column, forlorn hope and all,
marched within easy musket range.
At the words, "Forward, CHARGE" they
received our fire, shattering and decima,
ting their ranks frightfully, they rallied,.
closed up and stood to it for thirty minutes,
when they broke and fed, They were raj.
lied to the charge four successive times.
and met with the same storm of iron hail
and leade6 rain. The whole field was lit
,erally covered with their dead and wound
ed, where they were still lying on Thurs:
day night uuburied and without any atten.
ton. What a field of slaughter, suffering
aud anguish! What cruelty in Grant,
His dead and wounded soldiers were left
alone where they fell---the dead to rot-the
wounded to suffer and die--under the very
nose of the enemy. How cruel and beastly
to put the negro, whom they had seduced
from their happy homes, and under the de-
lusion Of freedom and liberty, or. by force,
induced to become soldiers, and then put
them in frontof the battle, to be mercilessly
shot down by their former masters and pro-
prietors, and then leave them in the first
hour of trial to rot, as SO many beasts.
