PHILADELPHIA, June H. The following
has been received here by mail from Wash,
ington:
Washington JHne 10. - Two dispatches
were received tonight from Maj. Gen. Grant,
addressed to different gentlemen in high Off
cial positions. The dispatches are dated
Monday, 9Th inst, Il much shorter time in
obtaining advces from Vicksburg than here
tofore. An important fact, and one which has
occasioned much anxiety, is derived from
them, namely, that Cen Grant was in COM
municati0n with Gen. Banks as late as the
4th inst, at which time Port Hudson was
closely invested. Gen. Grant repeats what is
already known, that Gen. Johnston is con-
centratng troops with which to operate
against him, and mentions report that three
divisions are moving from Bragg to reinforce
Johnston. Breckenridge is known to have
joine him. Vicksburg is still invested, and
the siege is progressing fayorably.
The tone of the dispatches is represented to
show that Grant fears neither the enemy in
his front nor in his rear. He will protect his
lines ut all hazards. 1t is presumed he did
not know at the date of his dispatch whether
or not he was to be reinforced. This infor-
nation inspires increased hope and confidence
in the final success of the siege.
New YORK, June 1.-THE Tribune has
Nicksbnrg letter of the 9th, which gives
hopeful view of the progress of the siege, and
| reports the repulse of a sortie against one of
our mining parties on the night of the Sd, and
demonstrates that Johnston cannot possibly
get near enough to strike Grant without be-
ing extinguished, and says the garrison will
soon be compelled by famine to surrender.
The Richmond Wing OF the Sth contained no
news from Vicksburg, but has Il long editori-
al on the desolation made by the armies in
| Virginia.
| WASHINGTON, June l1.-An unofficial dis
patch from the vicinity of Vicksburg, received
here to-day, states that the rebels in small
force attacked Milliken's Bend and Young's
Point on the 9Th inst, but were decislvely re-
pulsed at both points. The colored troops at
| the former place at first gave way, but upon
hearing that those of their number who were
captured were killed, they rallied with great
fury and routed the enemy. Advices up to
the 4th inst, have been received from Port
Hudson. Everything there looks favorable
to our final success
An Evansville, Ind, paper of the 8th, says
that a steamer from Vicksburg arrived there
at midnight Of the I'd. The steamer had been
sent down with surgeons, nurses, &C., and
arrived at Youug's Point on the 30th ult.,
where they were informed that no supplies,
medical or surgical assistance, was needed;
that the loss in killed and wounded in the late
battles did not exceed twelve thousand and
five hundred, and that imperative orders had
| been received that no state or private
sanitary boat, stores, or men, could reach the
Yazoo or the Chicasaw bayou, the base of
supplies for Grants army. However. they
went to Gen Grants headquarters, AMI found
the wounded of his army comfortably cared
for, in commodious hospitals. Twenty-three
surgeons, with nurses, were left to assist.
