New YORK, June L.
The Herald's Washington correspond
ent says:
Government has no intelligence from
Vicksburg later than the Goth, when Gen.
Grant was progressing favorably.
The silence Of Richmond papers is con-
sidered as an augurf that nothing has oc-
Cured at Vicksburg encouraging to the
rebels.
The President has stated that Vicks-
burg may be taken by assault, but it is
thought better to accomplish the object
with as little loss of life as possible.
The CO. espondent of the Herald, dat
ing near Vicksburg, 22d, SAYS:
This is the fourth day Grants army has
lain around the entertainments of yicks-
burg. During the time there has been
daily battles and continual eannonades.-
At least 1000 of our men have been
placed hors du combat in the several
charges ordered against rebel earthworks.
During last night the gunboats and NOR
tars in front of Vicksburg kept up con-
tinual fire, and several buildings were
burn-d by exploding shells. At s o'clock
this morning cannonading commenced
along our whole line. From every hill
TOP in front of the enemy's works cannon
played upon the rebels. Guns were dis

GERRIT SMITH ON THE UNIoi

GERRIT SMITH ON THE UNION
Gerrit Smith declared, in his speech be-
fore the Union League Convention, that
he would sooner consent that slavery
should be restored stronger than ever, than
that the Union should be given up. There
is not more thorough hater of slavery
in the land than he not a man who has
spent more money or more effort for the
propagation OF abolition principles. His
name has not only been prominently con-
nected bat completely identified with the
anti slavery movement from its earliest
days. And vet in this crisis he plants
himself squarely on this high mark OF
unconditional Unionism.
When proslavery men, of the Free
States and the Border States, with equal
" rooted convictions in favor OF the insti-
tuition, come up to the same mark, and
lice up to it, as Gerrit Smith proposes to
do-when they will say that slavery shall
sooner die the death than the Union, and
shape their practical action accordingly
then, and not until then, will they, too,
fulfil their duty to their country. There
is no other true Unionism than that of this
unconditional sort, and at no time, in nc
place, for no cause. ought any other stan
dard to be recognized. -Neao York Times

Account of Operations at Vicksbur.
10 the eth ult.

Cincinnati, June /.
The Commercial has full particulars of
the operations of Gen. Grants army up
to the 22d of May.
When our army advanced on the city of
Vicksburg, 1t was confident of an easy
conquest, but the ground In the rear of the
city was found so broken, rugged and
wild as to be almost impossible for artil-
lery. The rebel Notifications were found
to be very formidable, being grown;
and showing that preparations had long
since been made to stand a siege npon the
main side; ; .nv main forti6cations consist
ing Of chain of forts about 800 yards
apart, connected by deep entertainments
and extending about seven miles.
Our loss in the assault of to-day, the
22d OF May, is about 1900.
1t was the opinion that another general
assault upon the reb ! works would moi
be ordered, but that the city would be Ia
ken by regular siege approaches.
The Gazette has advioes up TO the 9th
of MAY, through a staff officer of one o.
ten. uranus uentFdiS WIN ioie ioi w ooh
ington last evening.
Three assaults had been made by oul
troops upon the rebel stronghold, in all Of
which we were repulsed.
The last assault was made by Genera
Sherman with 10000 men, in which be
lost 600 killed and large number
wounded
Our outer line is within 100 yards Of tn
rebel works.
Our sharp shooters prevent the rebel
from working their guns.
The rebel works in the rear Of the cit,
are far more formidable than those il
front.
Gen. Joe Johnston is in the neighbor
hood of jackson, with about $1,000 mer
short of provisions and ammunition. n
