the inhalation of the exhilaratirg gas were ex

VICKsBURG. "A letter from Vicksburg, June
7, in the Cincinnati Ga4ette, says Vlcksburg
grows hotter and hotter for the occupants.
Gen. Grant had mounted more siege guns. Eve
ry shot that misses the rebel forts passes over
the works and enters the city to injure some
thing.
The rebels at Vicksburg have lately been
sending convalescents across the river in skiHs to
our camp on the peninsula, and our folks have
thought them deserters, but the trick has been
detected, and now they are sent back to help
their friends use up their stock of medicines aud
supplies
A few days since Pemberton showed five hum
dred negroes through his lines. Gen. Grant Sc
lected the stoutest and best from among the
number to be used to advantage, either with
muskets or spades their hands, and sent the re-
mainder back for the rebels to feed with polite
request to TIE rebel General that he should not
try the game any more.
Maj. Gen. Sherman writes in recent letter
Z" After five months patient labor | am now

armed and intrenched, but instead Of being above
us, is now on a level, and we have firm ground
to tread on with our army battalions

HEADQUARTERS WALNUT HILL

Vcksburg, June 10, via Cairo, June 49, {
A ride along the lines developes change in
the position of the enemy. Their batteries ale
senced on all sides, and there are only few of
our ridemen firing Our bombardment is kept
up with continued vigor. Deserters coming
into our lines say the men and line officers are
discouraged, and only prevented from DESERVING
by the hope that they may be honorably surren-
dered in few days.
Gen. Blair reconnaissance between the va
ZOO and Big Black reveal no signs of the enemy
within thirty miles. Everything useful has
been destroyed for fifty miles around. Breck-
enridge is said to be at jackson. Our position
is equal to 100 900 men.
JNUE IA. Nothing of Importance has trans
pried for the last "a hours.
On Friday our batteries sackened, and the
enemy rarely replies The rebs are believed to
be erecting an interior line of works and falling
back. About 700 of the enemy are reported to
be killed ane wounded daily by our sharpshoot-
ers Gen. Osterhaus holds the Black River
bridge without interruption. The prospects of
the siege look brighter and brighter, and no
fears are entertained for the result.
New YORK, June Is. A train which left
harrisburg yesterday morning tor Carlisle was
uninterrupted. A correspondent on the train
says, at Carlisle we found between 200 and
300 Government wagons filled with valuable
stores, and several hundred horses, that had es-
capped from the clutches of the rebels at the
fight at Martinsburg, and had been pursued by
them as far as Chambersburg. A guard of 70
cavalry accompanied these wagons. This guard
had continued fighting with the rebels from
Martinsburg to Chambersburg, and managed to
bring off the wagon train without the loss Of a
single article. One or two of the guard were
killed and several wounded.
AT Shippensburg we had the statement con.
frmed that the rebs had entered Chambersburg
at the previous evening and that their force
was from 1000 to 1000 cavalry. Beyond the
destruction of bridge at Scotland no property
of any kind had been destroyed, and the clti
zens OF Chambersburg had not been molested ir
any way. One of the rebel outer pickets sale
that the rebel force would return to Hagers
town the next day, as their object in advancing
was for the purpose of capturing the commissa
ry train spoken of. Having arrived at Car.
Isle, and failing in that, they would return t.
Hagerstown. Other information from rebe
pickets, however, conveyed the idea that thu
present force was backed by $4,000 of Lee
army, who were advancing in the direction o
Maryland.

had been destoyed by the enemy, and the
only way to get over was to wade. The
current was very swift, and rope was
stretched across and tied to trees on either
side for the men to hold to in crossing to
keep them from going down stream. The
soldiers divested themselves of their un-
mentionables, and hnng them and their
cartridge-boxes and haversacks on their

of New York regiments had their wives
along to see something of war and its
amusements and then the trip would be
good for their health. There were several

Among the most amusing episodes of the
siege which came under my notice was one
which occurred June 26, when the mine
dug under TT. Hfif by Gen. Logan exploded.
A large number ofrebels were killed and
wounded, and several thrown outside of
theirworks. Among the latter was Amer
lean citizen of African decent, who strange
to say, was not hurt, but very badly frigh-
tened. The shock ofhis fall was severe, but
has strongest defence received the shock,
as he descended head foremost. 1t took the
gentleman of"cullud pursuation" few mo-
ments to arrange his faculties and to COM
prehend the situation. When he learned the
fact that he was inside our lines, he began
to beg for mercy. "Don't shoot, don't shoot
dis nigger-I was only toting up grub"
When he was asked by the soldiers how he
came into our lines, he replied: "Dunno,
massa; shell, specp And how high do you
think you went? "Oh, lor', massa, dunnol
