THE SIEGE OF VICKSBURG.

We find in the St. Louis Democrat a
letter from gentleman just returned from
Vicksburg, which conveys as vivid an idea
of the situation as anything that We have
seen. We will therefore extract largely.
have been astonished since my return
to hear persons complain that Grant is
doing nothing. They seem to imagine
that Vicksburg is to come down like Jerl-
cho, at flourish of trumpets. The truth
is, the army could hardly he more active
or or the gui oire.
On the 22d May, in order to silence that
cry, Grant hurried the whole column OF the
army upon those breastworks, and 1t
broke as the surge breaks on the rock.
The army has now simply changed Its
tactics 1t has for the time dropped the
bayonet, and taken up the spade. In the

the army is creeping stealthily forward. A
few evenings since, in company with an
officer of Gen. BentOn's staff, threaded
the length Of one of these approaches.
From previous accounts had imagined
them like those of Leyden, as deep cav

Mr.. CrOunce writes to the Times full
particulars of the cavalry battle in Virgi-
MIA. 1t appears that General Pleasanton's s
cavalry rendezvoused during Saturday and
Sunday at Catlett's Station and Warrenton
Junction, getting supplies of forage and
food by the Orange and Alexandria rail-
road. General Ames' infantry moved on
Saturday evening to the Spotted Tavern,
and on Sunday to near Bealetons Station.
General Russells brigade moved on Sun
day to HARDWOOD Church, and on Monday
to Kelly's Ford. The plan was to rendez-
vous the command at the two points on
the Rappahannock, Beverley's Ford on
the right, and Kelley's Ford on the left,
the two being six miles apart, and then
move the column forward toward Culpep-
per, on roads converging at Brandy Sta
ton, where junction of the forces was
to be formed, or sooner, if necessary.
CROSSING THE RIVER.
At dawn General BufOrd's command
was in motion. Colonel Davis's brigade,
led two suuadrons of the Eighth New
York and supported by the Eighth Illinois
and Third Indiana, had the advance. The
morning was cool and pleasant, thick
mist hung over the river, and objects on
the other side were rather indistinct. Our
cavalry soon reached the river, dashed in,
dashed up the bank, and were we'll on the
opposite side before the rebels in their for
tifications were aware of their presence.
The suddenness of the movement COM
pletely surprised them, and they at once

The Attack ON Millikea's Bend.
The Rebels Repulsed with Loss.

Cairo, June 12.-The steamer st. Cloud
is up from Vicksburg. She left there on
I Monday morning. There was a severe
fight at Millikens Bend on Saturday-one
of the severest of the war, considering the
numbers engaged. The rebels, six thou
sand strong, under Henry Mccullough,
were formed at Alexandra, Louisiana, but
are more recently from Richmond, in that
State. They marched from the latter place
in three columns-one on YOung's Point,
another on lilliken's Bend, and tine .ijrd
on Lake Providence.
The force that reached Milliken's Bend
was about two thousand strong. Our force
at that place was composed of q negro
regiment, six hundred strong, with about
two hnndrel white soldiers. When the
rebels first made their appearance, the
white troops fell back and the negroes fol
lowed. It was soon ascertained that they
were surrounded, and must fight or surren-
der. The rebels proclaimed no quarter to
the negroes, and the negroes proclaimed
no quarter to them,
The fight was conducted with the energy
of desperation by our forces and they held
the rebels at bay until q gunboat came to
their assistance.
A gentleman who saw part Of the fight,
and who was on the battlefield after it was
over, says that the negroes fought like
igers-better, in fact, than their white
officers, who, it is said, did not stay on the
field. The Colonel is reported to have
skulked away in q disgracefni manner. /
could not learn his name. Thisgeutleman
says we lost, in killed, ninety nine elnegroes
and thirty white men, Oar wounded NUM-
Der about 125. The list of killed is so
large in consequence of many of the wound
ed being killed under the "no quarter ~
cry. Over 100 dead rebels were left on
the field, and they took away several wag-
on loads OF wounded.
Their retreat was not followed up by
our men, they being SO much exhausted,
but a retreat to the Federal works, aud
preparations made for defence II
Inlthe evening the steamer st. Cloua
came up from below, and learning the bad!
state OF affairs, returned for reinforce
ments of artillery and gunboat, both of
which were started up. g.
The gunboat Choctaw arrived upon the
spot early Sunday morning, to find the
rebels had returned. During the night
they had busted themselves in gather
ing large number of mules together,
and when day broke, they started
them forward, using them as a means of
protection, while they were followed
closely behind They were promptly met
by our troops-this time, behind their
breastworks Gradually the rebels moved
their line, sacrificing their mules to rifle
shots, and opened upon our works with
rifles, shot.guns and artillery, but they
made little by their strategy. They had
got fairly engaged when the gunbOas
Choctaw came in for her share in the fight,
using her heavy guns with effect, charged
with shell.

Resistance to the Draft I'm Indi-

INDIANAPOLIS, June 1O.-FOr some days
past, the citizens of portion of Rush
County have been threatening the life of
any one who should attempt to enroll
their names in accordance with the recent
act OF Congress. These threats were so
numerous that Deputy Marshal Frank
Stevens, with two deputies, followed close
behind the Enrolling Commissioner:
While the Commissioner was in house
asking the ladies some questions relative
to their husbands ages, &c, Stevens and
Clayton drove up in buggy and stopped.
Some men who were hidden in wheat
field rose up and fired, killing Deputy
Marshal Stevens, and mortally wounding
Clayfield. The Commissioner who was in
the house, fled, but received OEeball thro'
his hat and second through his coat, in
escaping
Mr.. Stevens is highly respectable cit
izen, and his death has caused great ex-
citement throughout the district.
Provost Marshal McQuinston arrived
here this evening, after a military force,
and has returned with two companies of
infantry and one of cavalry.
He will arrest the parties and enforce
the enrolment at all hazards.
Governor Morton sent General Mansfield
of the Legion, with the expedition. He
has instructions to call out the militia. if
necessary to preserve the peace and en-

defence of the President against the hard
criticism of the New Yorker who made
him President. Although Mr.. Liccoln long
ago anticipated a quarrel with what he
calls TIE "Greeley faction Expressing
his fears to a Congressional delegation
his yielding to that faction in all things
has been of no avail, and now he is
wounded in the very house of his friends.
His is hard lot indeed, and it is manly
in the Inteligencer thus to defend him
from the "slings and arrows of outrageous
fortune" He has taken up arms against
q sea of troubles. and only by opposing
them, as the true representative of the
nation, can he end them.

A SUMMER NIGHT.

We sat together, YOU and l,
That evening in the month OF june
Beneath the perch; the deep blue sky
Held the sharp crescent of the moon.
So mildly shown her silvery light
On the Smooth lawn it seemed to sleep:
Sweet odors filled the Summer night
From fragrant gardens ankle deep.
The honey-suckle. wet with dew,
Scattered her perfume on the air;
Soft gales from spicy woodlands blew, 4
And toyed each moment with your hair.
And now and then the drowsy herd,
From meadow pastures far and near,
Lowed dreamiy; the startled bird ;
Twittered the while and sweet and clear;
The murmur of the cool, dark stream,
That wood with song the heart of Night
And through the vines truant beam
Of moonlight kissed your neck so white.
l held your tender hand-wc talked
About the future and the past;
Or sometimes down the path we walked
Beneath the lindens; till ut last
The moon sank in the violet east
Gliding the thin clouds as she went;
And on the lawn the shades increased
Till all in doubtful dusk was blcnt.
When suddenly upon the night,
Near where the moon had sunk to rest,
Kindled a strange. mysterious light
Behind the ragged mountains crest.
And up the glittering arch OF blue.
And far across the billOwy plain,
As through the air the meteor flew,
A ball offire with streaming name;
How wildly cleaned your startled eye,
How tight your fingers clasped my hand,
AS slowly in the western sky
1t faded, leaving all the land =
To darkness and the silent stars.
That night, upon my restless bed
I tossed in dreams of cruel wars
And field Of battle strewn with dead
-New York Nercury.

AT ANCHOR.

All, many year ago, dear wife,
We foated down this river,
Where the hoar willows on its brink
Alternate wave and shiver;
With careless glance We viewed askance
The king fisher at quest;
And scarce would hear the reed-wren near,
Who sang beside her nest;
Nor dreamed that e'er our boat would be
Thus anchored and at rest,
Dear love,
Thus anchored and ut rest!
0, many q time the wren has built,
Where those green willows CULVER;
And many time the hawthorn shed
Its blossoms on the river;
Since that sweet moon of sultry June
When l my love confessed.
While with the tide our boats did glide
AdoWn the streams smooth breast,
Whereon our little shallOp lies
Now anchored and ut rest,
Dear love,
Now anchored and at rest!
The waters still to ocean run,
Their tribute to deliver,
And still the hawthorns bud and bloom
Above the dusky river.
Still sings the wren-the water-hen
Still sIips the ripple's crest;
The sun as bright as on that night,
Sinks slowly down to West;
But now our tiny craft is mOored.
Safe anchored and at rest.
Dear love,
Safe anchored and at rest
For this sweet calm of after-days
We thank the BOunteous Giver,
Who bids our. life flow smoothly on
As this delicious river.
A werld-Our .Own-has round us grown,
Wherein we twain are blest;
Our child's first words than songs of birds
More music have expressed;
And all our centered happiness
Is anchored and at rest,
Dear love,
Is anchored and at rest.
