Philadelphia, June 1.-THE following
has been received here by mail:
Washington, June 10.-Two dispatches
were received tonight from Gen. Graot
addressed to different gentlemen in oticia
positions.
The dispatches are dated Monday, June
9Th, and show that a much shorter time is
required In obtaining advices trcm Vicks-
burg than heretofore.
An important fact, ignorance of which
had occasioned much anxiety, is derived
from them, namely, that Gen Grant was
in communication with Gen. Banks as
late rs the 4th, at which time Pot Hud-
sou was closely invested.
Gen. Grant reports that Gen. Johnston
Is concentrating troops to operate against
him and mentions report that three d.
visions ore moving from Gen. Bragg to re-
intorce Johnston. Gen. Breckenridge is
known to have joined him.
Vicksburg is still closely invested. The
siege Is progressing taVorably. The tone
OF the dispatches is represented to be
such as to show that Grant fears neither
the enemy on his front uor rear. 1t is as
sumed that he did not know at the date
OF his dispatches whether or not be was
to be reinforced. This information has
carried hope ard confidence in tie final
success OF the siege.

enough to strike Grant without being ex-
tingushed, and says that the garrison will
soon be compelled by famine to capitu-
