THE FATE OF yIcKsBURG CERTAIN

N.
We have heretofore expressed the opinion
that Gen. Grant, by gaining possession of
Haines' Bluff and the line of the Big Black
river, where, from the nature of the crossings,
he canreadily repuise any force Johnston can
may bring up,) while at the same time he
steadily pursues his attack upon mberton, is
virtually in possession Of Vicksburg. The
following from a Confederate paper, fthe
Petersburg Express,) fully confirms the views
We have advanced, as to the hopeless position
of the rebel forces at Ticksburg:
From the Petersburg Express, May 23l
After silence OF some four days we again
have intelligenc &c from the vicinity of Big Black,
in Mississippi. 1t is very far from encoura-
ging. 1t places us In possession OF information
which we were not prepared to hear. In Sat
urdays fight we lost thirty pieces of artillery
spiked and abandoned. The ad advantages gained
Oh Saturday were fully appreciated by, the en-
envy and on Sunday he again advanced to take
the bridge over the Big Black, but was re.
pulsed. Nothing daunted, Grant crossed above
the bridge and attacked Pemberton in the rear
The resi- it is told in few words We burnt
the bridge, abandoned our works, and fell back
toward Ficksburg, with heavy loss. At last
accounts Ficksburg was closely besieged, and
the enemy was closing in on every side. That
orr readers may form some idea OF the con.
tracted limits in which Gen. Pemberton's army
Is now confined, we would state that the Big
BLACK bridge crosses that stream only twelve
iuiits iToH ickSDurg ana fifteen miles from
where 1t cmpties into the Mississippi This
stream is about 100 yards wide and was for.
merly nayigable for small vessels as high up
as where the railroad crosses, but the stream
has become INSTRUCTED by trees and the ca wing
in OF entertainments, SO that its ma yigation would
be difficult, if not impossible.
The topography of the country through which
the river runs, below the railroad, IS generally
swampy, above. it gradually rises into undu-
lating and heavily wooded land. The stream
is fordable, but owing to the nature of its
banks the passage OF artillery and wagons is
difficult and confined to few fords. The bridge
which crosses the river here (now destroyed)
is about halt mile long and eighty feet high
The part OF it which is Immediately over the
river 10 supported by strong columns of stone
and brieks-the rest is of strong wooden tim
bers. The destruction of this bridge, unfortu.
nately, not only lsolates Ficksburg from com.
munieation with all other parts of the Confed-
eracy, but it opens to the enemy the rich and
much desired Yazoo country With scarcely
any held artillery, and his army greatly reduced,
Cen Pembertoh cannot long hold out, we fear,
unless Gen. Johnston speedily concentrates his
forces and relieves the beleaguered army. At
present we cannot shut our eyes TO the tact that
the situation at Vicksburg is extremely critical

THE ENEMY DRIVEN TO WITHIN SEVEN
: MILES OF McMINNvILLE,
IMPORTANT REBEL ORDER CAPTURED.
PROBABLE MOVEMENT OF GEN. BRACES
ENTIRE FORCE.

PHILADELPHIA, May ga special dispatch
to the Bulletin, dated Murfreesboro, May 26th,
says: Col. Wilder, with his mounted infantry,
returned this p. m. from trip In the direction
OF McMinnville, whittier he had gone in search
OF rebel cavalry, under Breckenridge. The
enemy's pickets were encountered a short
distance beyond Woodbury.. We attacked the
rebels in the vicinity, who collected to annoy
ana impede our advance. A running skir-
mish was kept up for several miles,
Twelve miles this side Of McMinnyiIle our
forces came on the camp of Breckinridee's
forces, who hastily retreated. Pressing them
closely, however, Col. Wilder succeeded in
capturing nine prisoners, twenty five service
able horses, and thirty head of beef cattle.
Having secured the prisoners and burned
the tents and baggage left by the cavalry, our
forces pushed rapidly forward, skirmishing
with and driving the enemy until within seven
miles OF McMinn vile, when the pursuit was
abandoned and our forces returned to Muir
freesboro, after scouting the country on both
TANKS and capturing a number of soldiers who
were at home on furlough.
among the papers captured was general
order issued by Bragg on the 18th inst, di-
recting that sick and disabled COME derate SOL
diers, and wagons and baggage, calculated to
retard the march of the army, be removed to
the rear.
Prisoners also say that all the avalry under
Wheeler, and that under Morgan, are ordered
to report at Columbia within five days; that the
forces at Liberty, under Harrison, comprising
i've regiments, were preparing to move, and
that Morgan is falling back to Sparta, to ioin
Gen. Wharton's forces, who are also preparing
to move.
The opinion is that Bragg will evacuate
