been with Grants army and saw all of its
operations. He says our forces are well

NEW YORK, June line Her0ta s
Washington dispatch says the Government
has no intelligence later than the 26th,
when Grant was progressing favorably.
The Richmond papers considered au-
geury that nothing has occurred at Vicks-
burg encouraging to the rebels.
A correspondent of the Post, dating near
Vicksburg, the 22d, says that this is the
fourth day that Grants army has lain
around the intrenchments of Vicksburg.-
During that time there has been daily bat
ties and continual cannonade. At least
1000 of our men have been placed hors dU
combat in the several charges which have
been ordered against the rebel earthworks.
During last night the gunboats and NOR
tars in front of Vicksburg kept up a con-
tinual fire, and several buildings have been
burned by the exploding shells.
At 8 O'Clock this morning cannonading
commenced along our entire line from ev-
cry hill top in front of the enemy's works.
The rebel gnus were dismounted, embras-
ures torn out, and parapets and caissons des-
troyed. The rebels were poWerless TO re-
ply as as our SkirmiShers We're close to
their works unerringly picking off the
rebel gunners. This cannonading contin-
ued two hours, when Smiths corps and
Ostsrhaus' division charged through a
murderous cross and enfilading fire close
up to the rebel works where an impass-
able ditch with sharp stakes was enconn-
tered. Our men planted their flag direct
| ly in front of the fort, then crouched down
behind the embankment out of range OF
the rebel fire.
The rebels inside the fort could not show
themselves above the parapet without
meeting death from our sharp-shooters
and only could they effect anything by
cutting off the fuses to the shells, lighting
them and rolling them out over the slope O
the embankment. -
Subsequently, our boys, with picks and
shovels, dug breach into one fort, which
was thus taken. One fort was gallantly
taken by storm by Gen. Carey's division
During three days we lost five Officers
killed, including three Colonels, and fifty
wounded.

state Bulletin confirms the statement that
Grant closely invests Vicksburg. 1t also
states that our forces have succeeded in
taking portion of the works. The forts
remaining to be taken are very formidable
and command the entire town. Several
charges have been made upon them, but
with little success. The rebels seem to
think their position is impregnable. The
river batteries have been mostly silenced.
Gen. Sherman is on the right two miles
from Haines' Bluff, McClerEand one and
half miles from the Court House, in the
centre, and Mcpherson at the lower end OF
Vicksburg.
The report that Pemberton offered to sur
render Vicksbug on terms, is confirmed.
1t is also believed that the reported arri-
val of Banks forces at Warrenton is true.
