VICKsBURG.

Confidently as the Nation has waited TO hear
of the surrender Of Vicksburg, the announce
ment came yesterday with the audiences Of
an unexpected triumph, and filed with new
happiness the grateful hearts of people which
had just welcomed the tidings of victory and
deliyerance in the East. Tho steady pur-
pose, the mistaken fortitude, the fertile
talent, the heroic determination OF Gen.
GRANT, and the courage Of his noble
army, are crowned at last with success. The
nation owes 10 them triumph 80 brilliant,
and 80 fruitful Of results, that its gratitude il
lost inI the bewilderment of joy; but it
references the great qualities and great achieve
ments of this army and its leader, not Less
than it will when other victories shaii nave

The fall Of Vick,burg divides the Rebel Confed-

gence from Wiiamsport.
The Rebels were drawn up on the bank Of tia
Potomac. The river was rolling and surging
brimful.
Tue enemy had no pontoon bridges and were fer
ryng their wagons across under great difficulty ia

simply amounted 10 a stsnd-still.

Tie latest report here is that the whole Rebel
army ID routed in utter panic.
They are fleeing in all directions, throwing away
arms, abandoning guns, trains and everything for
life.a ~
CHAsBEx,BuRG, Tuesday, July !. 1885,,
There are no Rebels now in the Cumberland
Valley. The whole force under Gen. Les has
retreated to the line Of the Potomac, near Williams
port, where they are endeavoring to cross with
Mulligan in front and Pleassnton in the rear.
There was fighting near Williamsport up to late
last evening, resulting in victories to our troops at
every point.
Gen Meade has routed them everywhere, aud it
is thought that the invasion is now a. an end, and
Gen. Lee is endeavoring to cross with shattered
and demoralzed army, from which nothing brilliant
can be expected during the rest Of the war.
We have taken a vast number of prisoners, in I'D.
diiion 10 stores guns. wagons colors, &C., and our
captures are being momenIary augmented. The
.prisoner. end wounded IN pitiable condition.
The Rebels acknowledge, in the recent invasion
and actions on the field in the Cumberland Valley,
overw helming and disastrous defeats. Much injury
will yet DO inflicted upon the enemy as be crosses

HAKRlssUEG. Tuesday, July 10 p. m
Information received here proves beyond doubt
the continued retreat of the Rebels toward Hagers-
town and wlliamsport with the intention of cross.
ing the Potomac. Their wagon trains are all 10
front, and are being fsrried across slowly in two
flat boats.
The Potomac is very high-bankfull-and they
cannot cross, their only pontOon bridge having been
destroyed.
large force of infantry prevented the capture OK
Williamsport by Gen. Buford with his cavalry.
Our army is fast following them up, and great
battle will be fought before they succeed in getting
away. THIS fight, it is hoped, will result in the
capture or dispersion Of the whole Of Lees army.
SECOND DISPATCH.
dispatch from Loudon says gentleman arrived
from wiamsport states that big fight was then
going on, and that there were no Rebels in the
vicinity Of Greencastle.
The whole Rebel army appears to be on the bank
of the river, and is no doubt making desperate
fight.

The latest intelligence from Gen. Meade is
Williamsport, aud that fighting had recon-
menced. Il is not impossible, but has no
better authority than the story Of some chance
traveller. 1t is asserted that Maryland
flights are occupied by some portion Of Gen.
Lees forces. If they are, and if the bridge is
psssable, the escape Of the Rebel army beyond
the Potomac would seem TO be more probable
than it has yet appeared; but We cannot be-
lieye that Gen. Meade has permitted the con-
troll Of so important position to pass from
his hands. If its evacuation involved that cat
astroph cit should have been held at all hazards,
no matter how much Gen. Frenchs troops
garrison, or the approaches to it protected, or
Whatever was done, such an outlet cannot have
been left wholly open to Gen. Lee. We wait
for confirmation before crediting the report a,
the decisive battle, and we confidently believe
will to no considerable extent affect its results.
Let no one doubt that the Rebel army is TO be
steadily vigorously, mercllessly, pursued to its
utter destruction.
p. S.-As we go to press we learn that
Gen. Meade has overtaken Lee on the banks
of the Potomac. and furious 6ght is in
progress. with every prospect Of the complete
destruction of the Rebel army!
