THE NEWS.

5g With few occasional skirmishes in the
neighborhood Of Suffolk and the Black Wa.
ter, and near Kinston, North Carolina, all
interest ceases, or turns towards Vicksburg.
This place being invested by Grants army,
we gain intelligence only from Yankee
sources, reliable, only, as showing a spirit
Of ofbravado, and forloru hope. Johnston,
with his compact forces, which, it seems,
are being rapidly augmented, is on Grants
rear, moving with great caution, preparing
for an impetuous charge, which, if success
full in driving him once more to the banks
of the river, will prove his situation we'll
nigh hopeless, and require Rosencrans to
diminish his forces, now holding Bragg in
check in middle Tennessee, between Nc
MinuYille apd Columbia, to assist him, as
the last are but day apart, and both may
take a hand in the same game. Truly, it
said, that "the campaign in Mississippi is a
desperate one upon either side, but should
God grant as the victory, Grant, in his
present situation, now isolated from assis-
tance, and from his gunboats on this side
(Tullahoma) the river, would be more com.
pletely ruined than Napoleon at Aspero.-
Mighty events hang upon this struggle, and
how important its results will prove Up
on the result of the campaign in Mississip-
pi stands the fate of Tennessee, and the
entire southwest, for the time at least. If
any alate news" be received by this even
ing's mail, it will be found under that head
Let US turn towards the North, and We
fod that the banishment of Vallandigam is
the great matter of the moment. "Large
meetings" small ones are rarely chronicled,
have been held in New York, condemning
the Administration, as heretofore, but now
holding this as new pretext for gas, the
first semi.furious, the second all fire and
birthstone, and probably its natural result,
smoke however, we publish an account of
the proceedings, to show how far some pol
iticians can 60, when it suits their humor,
though We certainly would be very agreea-
bly, disappointed to find the actors in earn
est, and out of Fort Layfayette. Brooks is
newspaper printer, and our experience
leads US to know how capital can be made
and expended, and how susceptible in evil
disposed minds the current is twisted to
party purposes. We have now an opportu-
nifty to test the Northern feeling, as Vallan-
digham is a voluntary prisoner in our lines,
having been excluded from those of his
Union loving friends; the Democrats hav-
ing split in the Empire State, on the SUBJ
ject of peace with or without reconstruction.
Indiana, too, as remarkable for its ser.
Witty, as the aeetness of its soldiers, has
also pitched into the breach, and $500
persons met at indianapolis, on the 2Sth
ult, with regiments of infantry and bate
ries of artillery surrounding the place of
meeting to prevent admission of disseuters,
or those who had no permits. Great talk
was made about "freedom of Speech" Lin
coin was denounced, and the Indiana De-
mocraoy pledged to Esstand by Yallaudigham
in his defence of the sacred rights of the
Constitution and freedom" The armed
force show how free speech was estimated by
the meeting, and the tumult, generally,
corresponds remarkably with the peace and
quiet of the Confederacy, where the "pecu-
liar institution" itself is its own safe guard.
We sympatbize with Vallandigham in his
mistortumes, though he brought them on
himself, but further, between him and his
prosecutors, We are veEs much like the wo-
man who saw her husband fighting the
bear, owe don't care which whips"
