reports Of tho ssmo transaction, is manifest
" Incorrect. Either Admiral Porter knew
more than his subordinate who executed the
service he was ordered to perform, or Com
rnsnder Walker neglected TO report tho full
extent of The capture he had made, and the
damage lie had inflicted.
RUhoRs OF MILITARY MOVEMENTS,
We give the following, from the Washing
Ton correspondence of the Chicago "Emcs,"
for what it is worth:
And now, to cap tho GliTsX.we have sons
late news from Richmond, brought by ex-
changed officers and others, who coma direct
from the rebel capital. This row: is rot Il"
late as Po.terH Ivspatca, hu! it il interesting
Rld highly important, as il furnishes hurs
bsss OH whicr to mako calculations IS to The
probable results Of military operations be-
lore Vicksburg. According To thi' account,
i. negm s that the iorcss nader Gsn Johnst: MS
conniaua arc those at V'cksbuTe, inclnainr
Pemberton's troops, CO 900 usn; tsasa nndeE
Geu. Brsgg, 10000; AMI those &C Port Hui
sou, 10000. Their o9timaiea uf The Union
fbrces are, that Con. Grant has 10 COO troops,
Rosecr.nz 10000, aud B.ni:s $1,000 total
100000 troops, BESIDES tbs powerful naval
forces Of Admirals Pu.ior Srd Firrsgut.-
Trey believe that tho corporation OF those
forces befaTe Vicksburg wcald compel tho
Surrender of tina: plaza: and tha! Con John
ston has taken nss5urei. no; only TO Prevent
any such CO operation, but also to ascuro 1T
Vnksburg the presence OF y supcrl: farce to
.ny that can be brought against il, Thor
idea is that Banks and Fa,ra.ut will DC held
in check mt Port Hudson, and that RoaccIanz
will 10 hold in chcck by certain strategic
movements on the part OF Ger. b."gs With
$4,000 of his troDps. This you'd ie.Vo T'n.
Grant snd Admissl Porter alone to rcd;cs
Vickshurg.
But j: is also understood st Richmond,
that tho other 10 0C0 OF Ge". Hrags's troops
(half of them cavalry arc already matching
towards Vicksburg; snd that 10000 troops
ut Mobile, 90 900 at Charleston 5nd Savannah
end 20 900 OF Gen. L,a's troops f, tioTGGns-
vile, were s.arted off from those points Some
days ago, their destination bong tao s:n,e
point. Those 1oin!or csmnnta teG"th"E
amount to 10000 troops. J. III essy 10 see
tia. there is nothing io pTeTcHt tse'r having
beea sent as stated. There wero $4,000
at Mobile, entiz ely useless lhore; Beauregsrd
had 10000 At Charleston aud Savannah, and
he know very we'll thst there would be no
occasion for them there for some weeks to
come, and, IS for Gan. Lie, the ssmy that
xHas stroug enough to dcisat lockers $780,
600 troops, the "frest army on the planet"
could surely spare 10000 men without miss
ing them, particularly al Lee well knows that

cannot be for GENE weeks yet There might
