ADDITIONAL FROM vICKsBURG.
Terrible Sufferinss of the Residents Bu-
ring the Siege.
FICKsBURG. July 5.-Yesterday and to-day
have been remarkably quiet, and good feeling
prevails. The weather is fearfuliy warm.
Nineteen general officers have been paroled
Two or three days must elapse before prisoners
can be sent out 10 their destination, which is
reported TO be Talladega, Alabama.
Many are anxious MOTTO be paroled, and wish
to take the oath of allegiance, quit the rebel
service ana be sent north.
Several women and children were killed or
injured during the siege, while hundreds of
houses occupied by the sick and wounded.
have been constantly exposed to our shells
About two thousand five hundred persons
have been killed inside the works since the siege
began.
The labor performed on the Notifications on
both sides has been prodigious. The weight of
our artillery has knocked most of their works
into undistinguishable heaps.
There were about twelve hundred women
and children in the city during the lombard
ment, who nave for the most of the time been
obliged to live on dead carcases, of which there
are several hundred more. Citizens have not
been allowed to draw supplies except in cases
of desttuton.
Prices of food have been enormous Five
dollars pound being charged for flour;
one dollar pound for mule meat
The latest advices from the interior state that
Johnston is rapidly retreating, and Sherman IS
in hot pursuit Reintorcements are moving 10
Sherman.
An offer of assistance has been dispatched 10
Banks. 1t is conjectured that the condition OF
the Port Hudson garrison will be similar 10
that of Vicksburg in a week hence. Its fall
may be announced at any hour. The general
opinion here, both in the rebel army and our
own, is, that the rebellion in the Southwest is
at an end, or reduced 10 insignificant propor-
uons.
