Reasons for Abandoning the Attack
on Vicksburg. NJ
Orr MOUTH OF Ykzoo RIVER, Jan. 81
MA CAIRO, Jan. IL.

Orr MOUTH OF Ykzoo RIVER, Jan. 81
via CAIRO, Jan. IL.
The expedition against Vicksburg was
abandoned yesterday safely. A single
attack by the enemy was repulsed by
our gunboats.
| The Yazoo is abandoned as a base of
operations, the enemy being impregnable.
| In the front there has been no fighting
since Monday.
Nothing has been heard of Banks or
Farragut. Gen. McClernand arrived here
on Thursday night. The army is on
! transports at Milliken's Bend.
No further Developments have been
made of the movements of Gen. Pember-
ton and Price.
At Vicksburg the enemy had about
1000 men, and had 100 guns in their
batteries, besides their field artillery.
Our losses in the Yazoo will amount to
$500 or 5000. Loss of the enemy I'M
known.
1t has been raining here. necessarily
for the past thirty six. hours, causing a
heavy rise in the Mississippi.
A council of war was held on board the
| Tigress, Gen. Netherlands headquarters,
on Sunday. Com. Porter Gems. Sher-
man and McClernand, and other officers,
were present 1t was determined that it
would be folly TO make any further at
tack on Vicksburg with the present force;
that the enemy received their reinforce :
ments too rapidly, and that there was
no prospect of our side receiving re-
Inducements, and therefore twas deemed
eXpedient to abandon the attack on
Vicksburg, and to operate against some
other place was decided upon but its pub
! licity is forbidden The following day
both fleets got under way. There was
no coal for the gunbOats, and they were
unable to raise steam. There was a
flood in the river at the time. With
wood the transports took the gunboats in
tow, and moved slowly along the advance,
when they arrived here last evening and
met coal going down,
There was considerable excitement at
the mouth of the Arkansas. The ram
Ponchatrain is down the river, and the
gunbOats and rams are waiting for her.
A celebrated Partisan dandy was or
dered by his physician to follow course
of sea-bathing at Dieppe. Arrived al
that delightful town, he ordered a ma
chine and attendant, and went boldly
into the water. He plunged in bravely
but in an instant after came up putting
and blowing. "Francis," said he, "the
sea smells detectably; it will poison me

20 land on Puget Sound. Agricultural.
Mr.. Davis offered resolution request
ing the President, if not Incompatible
with public interest, to commit to the
House what authority or instruction has
been given to Gen. Dix in Virginia and
Gen. Butler in Louisiana, and Governor
Stanly in North Carolina, or any of them,
concerning the election of Representa-
tives to this House in their States re-
spectively.
Mr.. Roso Conklin suggested that the
inquiry include Gov. Phelps, of Arkan-
sas and Gov. johnson, of Tennessee.
Mr., Davis had no other objection than
that no election cases from the two latter
had come before the committee.

ment until every arrearage due to any
regiment in the service has been fully
paid.

The New York Chamber of Commerce
had the Alabama under consideration
again recently. A letter was read from
our Consul at Liverpool, saying that four
more pirate vessels are fitting out at that
port, of the same character as the Ala
bama, but more powerful. The question
what should be done was left for another
meeting, but the general idea among the
merchants was that the Government feet
is not TO be relied upon TO catch the pi-
rate craft, and that the Government ought
to issue letters of marque, and see what
private enterprise can do.

The Evansville Journal announces the
arrival there of Major HOLLOWAY, of the
9Th Kentucky cavalry. Major HOLLOWAY
looks as if his recent campaign in the
regions around HOpkinsville and Clarks-
vile had done him good. From him the
Journal learns that Shackelford's entire
command is engaged in foraging for
Rosecrans's army, and that they found
the country full Of provisions, bacon,
-four, whisky, etc, concealed in barns,
fields, and all out-Of-the-w places,
doubtless intended for the rebel army.
On one farm they found IL, 900 barrels of
bacon and 200 barrels of -four the latter
hid in a field.

Levy for the POcTl

We have requested those who have
been assessed to come and pay their
monthly instruments. Some have done
their duty. Others have been applied TO,

and terrible restitution. The cold is
now added to want of food, clothing and
fael To pass over Saturday without
making some provision for the suffering,
would be cruel indeed. 1t is not in the
power Of the civil authorities to shrink
from the demands of those that want
bread. By noon to-day | will expect
those delinquent to come forward and
pay. If personal request would an
