An editorial in the Richmond Wig
says: oTho news from the southwest
continues to be Of the most cheering
character. Nobly has Gen Pcmbcrton
vindicated the confidence placed in him
BY President Davis From all accounts
the defence Of Yicksburg is the most
glorious episode Of the already crowded
annals Of our military history. Hcta
combs OF Yankees attest the yalor Of our
troops, and the skill and success with
which the they have been handled.
Every attack on the heroic garrison has
immortalzcd them, The Yankees have
given up the attempt to take the city by
storm, and now talk of regular siege,
a plan which Gen. Johnston may posi-
bly, interfere with
''The telegraph also brings the report
Of a brilliant victory gained by Kirby
Smith over Banks at Port Hudson. We
have cveV reason to believe this news
will be confirmed. With Gen. Grants
army all but annihilated by the terrific
executions of our artillery and musketry
at Yicksburg, and the Strategic move
ment of Banks suddenly cut short at
Port Hudson, the great campaign Of the
war from which so much was expected
by the enemy, bids fair to prove by far
the most disasters and gigantic Of all his
tailuees in thss war"
