THE NEWS OF THE WEEK.

The last news from Vicksburg represents
that place as in Gen Grants power-that he
could take it any day by assault, but prefers
the siege operation as it would save life. We
hope this is correct.
A desperate and bloody fight took place
on the 9th inst, at Milliken's Bend, about
% miles above Vicksburg. Over 1900 reb-
els fell upon less than 1000 of our forces, of
whom 600 were negroes. No quarter was
given by the rebels, who at first drove our
men back our forces rallied, however, and
(being soon aided by gunboat) drove the
traitors Oft. The Federal loss was 1874 kill.
ed, about 100 blacks, and about an equal
number wounded. The rebels left over 100
dead on the field and took away several wag-
on loads OF wounded.
The rebel pirates are carrying on their work
OF destruction with high hand. A little
tender to the privateer Florida has made six
captures of merchant vessels, four of which
were burned and two were bonded. These
captures were made between the eth and
10Th insts., and within IS miles of the coast
of Delaware. Upon receiving intelligence
of the piratical transactions on the coast, the
Navy DEPARTING mt promptly dispatched ves-
sells in pursuit of the pirate. -Four vessels
lett New York on Saturday night, three sail
ed from Hampton Roads, and these were to
be followed on Sunday by others. The Ala.
oama and another vessel called the Geor-
ga nave been doing smart business in the
p'fatical line, the passed two weeks, in the
southern Atlantic. A list of half dozen
vessels is published which they have DESTROY
cd within short time. At Bahia. Braz;l
they received coal and ammunition from the
British bark Carter and then sailed sou,b.
ward.
Last week, while 80 rebel officer, were h.
ing conveyed from Fortress Monroe to For,
Delaware, they took possession of the vessel
and sent her captain and crew below Tho,
landed on the Virginia shore about s. mile:
below Fortress Monroe. The captain of tbe
steamer was then permitted to return with
his vessel.

The COlOred Troops.

The oft repeated question evil the Ne
groes fight ," has been forcibly answered BY
the heroic deeds which the colored regiments
performed at the attack on Port Hudson
Before the enemy's breastvorks had been
weakened by artillery, and in the face of
heavy batteries belching forth grape, canister
and shell which moved them down BY scores.
they made six distinct charges. with the
nerve and firmness of veteran troops. fight
ing from morning until 5! O'Clock in the af
ternoon. These colored men fought bravelv
and nobly, and performed deeds Of valor
that any regiment of white men might be
proud to emulate. They went into the fight
1850 strong, they came out with about hall
that number, the remainder lying dead or
dying upon the field. Yet, although thus
badly cut up, they are ready and eager again
to advance upon the enemy. 1t may be that
the stars and stripes will be placed first by
the hand of black soldier upon the ram
parts of Port Hudson.

Another Rebel Invasion

The much talked of invasion of the North
has arrived. A portion of Lees army has
made sudden dash into Pennsylvania and
another body has crossed into Maryland at
any rate it is so stated. The first intimaton
given at the North was the telegram stating
that Gen Milroy had been attacked at Win
chester by a large rebel force, and had
been obliged to fall back upon Harper's Fer
ry, with considerable loss. Winchester has
long been disputed territory; and an old SOL
der at our elbow, who has seen considerable
service in fighting and running, says this
last is the fourth time it las been evacuated
by the Federal forces.
In the exciting rumors of the past few
days it is impossible to get at any thing
more than an approximation to the truth.
As near as we can Judge the situation is
something as follows: A body of rebel cav
airy, probably Stuarts) supported by flying
artillery and perhaps small infantry force,
are making raid into Pennsylvania for for
age and plumber generally, and because they
have become desperate and must do some
thing. Another small body may or may not
be on their way into Maryland. Lees main
army is not engaged III these raids but is I'M
doubtedy trying to divert Gen lockers at
,ention by keeping sufficient force in his
front to prevent him from paying any sspcc
ial attention to the raiders. There are ru-
mors that Lee is advancing on Washington
and Baltimore, but we consider these but the
periodicals attacks of the Washinstonians. 1t
may serve to get up panic and be the
means Of rushing all the available soldiers
in the North into Washington to save the
capital again!
The demonstration into Pennsylvania is
alarming and demands the most prompt and
energetic measures to head it off. There can
be but slight distractions to the rebel caval
ry running right into Harrisburg, the capital,
and indeed they were expected there before
this time.
Among the other rumors is the one-not
improbable Hooker will Immediately
engage the main body of Lees army near
the old Bull Kun battle ground. And ano,h-
err that Gen Dix with his forces on the PENN
sula and in southwest Virginia will immedi-
ately advance on Richmond.
The rebels have taken the iniative to bring
this summer campaign to head. We trust
our government, our generals and our ar
mics are sufficient for the emergency, and
will leave no time in accepting the issue
Prompt, energetic and decided action now
will soon tell whe,he the second rebel inva-
sion of the free states is success or fail
ure.

The President and the Germans of the
West.

The Germans of the West, in Missouri
particularly, have been working themselves
up to pitch Of great indignation with Pres
ident Lincoln. They have not liked it that
Fremont and Sigel are not more actively en-.
ployed; and as most of them are radicals.
the appointment of gradual emancipa,ion-
lt or Frank Blair man to any office in Ms
souri,, has put them on netles. They gath
cred courage lately to send commttea to
the President to lecture him on his duties
and tell him on what terms he could be TAX
en- back into their communion and confidence.
which were the giving of large commands TO
Fremont, Sigel and Butler, turning out Sec
retaries Seward and Blair and General-in-
chief Halleck, as supposed enemies of their
favorites. and last but not least, probably the
giving of the fat places in Missouri all to the
radicals.
The committee went to the President, per-
formed its duties, and report has Just been
submitted embodyins the Presidents answers
to the various demands. Some of them are
decidedly rich; and in ali Old Abe seems to
have rather the advantage of the wrathy
Teutons. lie admits that it may have been a
misfortune for the country that he was elected
President, but having been elected, he means
to be Presidsnt, if he has to die for it: and
no general or cabinet officer will be dismissed
to suit the wishes of any party faction or Sc,
of men. In regard to Fremont, Sigel &
Co., they are not systematically kept out
Of command. but have been placed in their
present position by their own actions. and
they will be employed as soon as place can
be found for them without doing injustice to
somebody else; but at present he L" has more
pegs than holes to put them in" As for
the cabinet, each member is responsible for
properly conducting the affairs of his own
department; and for all the concentrated &C
} ton of the cabinet, the President is respon-
sible himself. Finally honest Abraham ad-
vises his German councillors to stop their
dissension. in Missouri, and love the country
more and faction and party less, remarking
at the same time that the two parties in thai
state ought to shave their heads knocked
together"

The Enemy in Pennsylvania.

The rebels have already appeared in Penn
sylvania in force, burned Greencastle, a
thriving village obout 56 miles south OF Har-
rissurg. and it IS reported that Chambersburs
and Wavneboro are also burned. The most
energetic measures are being taken by the
state authorities TO meet and repel the inva
ders. The panic is very great among the IN
habitants, and with so many exaggerated re-
ports flying about it is impossible TO judge
very accurately of the number OF the rebels
or their exact position. Fortitica;iOns are
being erected to defend the state capital, and
the state government is earnestly request
ing aid from other states in their emergency
In Maryland also there is good deal of ex-
element. and measures are being taken to
defend Baltimore. The report that Gen
Milroy had successfully cut his way through
the rebels at Winchester and arrived at Har-
per's Ferry is confirmed. At the last re-
ports We had from Martinsburg, above Har
per's Ferry and about 100 miles from Balti-
more, Gen Dan Tyler was holding the enemy
at bay there. Gen TYLER is from Connect
cut. we'll known in this vicinity, and great
fighting man, bat in the absence OF intelli-
gence of his safety there is reason TO fear be
has been overpowered by a superior force.
Of the main body of the rebels. and also Of
the whereabouts of Gen Hooker's army, thele
is nothing definite. Gen Lee seems not TO
entirely have drawn away his troops from
Culpepper, though he has large army in the
valley,and Gen Hooker is somewh here between
him and Washington and it is not improb-
able that while the raid is going on in Penn
sylvania another great and decisive battle
may be fought near the old Bull Run
ground. There is hint. and only a hint,
rom Washington that Gen Dix on the pc
ninsula is improving the opportunity and
marching on Richmond. We trust it will
prove so. The following are the telegrams
received from different points, containing the
latest intelligence:

MEXICO.

Reliable news has been received of the
surrender of Pueba. The city was not taken
bv storm and furious attacks, however, as the
French dispatches state, but was given up by
the Mexcans, its defenders being without
food or ammunition, having eaten even all
the artillery mules and cavalry horses.
Ortega, on the 18th, offered to surrender on
condition that the soldiers be allowed to
carry their banners, the officers their side
arms and all to march to the city of Mexico
and report to the Supreme Government.
These were all granted except the latter. Gen
Forey ordering them to march to Orlzaba
and then await in inactivity the close of the
war. Gen Ortega, previous to the surrend-
er, ordered all artillery to be broken up.
President Juarez has issued proclamation
announcing a great disaster in the surrender
of Puebla, and stating that the Capital will
not only be defended to the last extremity,
but all the places be defended with vigor
that the nation will wage war without ceas-
ing and under sacrifices against the odious
army which is profaning its soil.
Vera Cruz adv;ces report the escape OF
Gen Ortega, La Lane, Mendorza and eight
more of the principal chiefs, over 800 minor
officers and 200 prisoners from the French
convoy en- route to Orizaba.
The Mexcans have lost their strongest
fortress and their best army. Already,
probably, tie invader is before the gates Of
the capital, and, although an obstinate resis-
lance will be made it cannot stand many
weeks before the heavy armament and the
discipline of the French army. Even if the
City of Mexico falls, the guerrilla warfare will
be likely to continue aud Napoleon III. may
find to his cost, that an enemy is not van
pushed because few of his strong holds are
taken. We hope the invaders will be driven
from Mexican soil, for 70 good can result
from foreign occupation of Mexico. With ii
standing French army in Mexico and an
English army in the Canadas, the United
States, in case of war with these countries
would be called upon not only to defend her
eastern and southern coasts, but to station
soldier, along her northern and western from
tiers to repel invasion.
