CAIRO, March s..
We have no news here confirming Eastern
reports of battle at Vicksburg, and the
story is not believed. No doubt a great part
of Grants army is now on transports bound
to points of greater activity, but we think
the reported battle is premature. Nearly all
transports below have been pressed into Gov
ernlnent service.
All the rivers in this region are rising
Forts Henry and Hieman are submerged, and
will be temporarily abandoned. The troops
and stores will be removed to Donelson to-
day. .-..-...s 49,. ....- -... p.

A telegram received here from Brigham
Young says meeting was held in the taber-
nacle to petition the President to remove
Gov. Harding and Judges Wait and Drake,
and appoint good men in their places. He
adds, the majority of the federal officers and
other gentlemen are acting honorably. From
this it appears that Chief Justice Taney, Sec
retary of State, Fuller, Superintendent of In
