TO EVERY LOYAL READER.

Since the outbreak Of the rebellion, there
has never been so extensive d call upon
The stores Of the Sanitary Commission for
ehe aid and relief Of our noble wounded
soldiers, as thnt now prepared and prepar-
ing in the field before Vicksburg, 1t finds
The Chicago Sanitary Commission to a
large degree stripped Of the means for
meeting the demand. It is only needed to
suggest this matter and press its urgency,
leaving the ibcrality and loyalty OF our
readers everywhere to supply the details.
Remember these suffering brave men are
our brothers and sons, who have gone out
from our own homes They must not
want the solace and the succor that the
Sanitary Commission is especially constl-
1ntcd to supply. Let the fountains, large
and small, be thrown open again, and these
channels be kept full. Everything is
needed On the List already familiar to our
communities. Let there be hospital cloth
ing prepared, bandages, lint, and remem-
Der that, best Of all, donation in money
will meet the necessities Of the occasion,
for purchases Of most descriptions Of artl'
Giles needed, can best be made in bulk by
the Agents Of the Commission in this city

, 1863-05-30

We have it upon the most direct and
positive authority, that Gen. Banks has
been ordered 10 cooperate with General
Grant in tile reduction of Vicksburg; and
we may state what the New York papers
have already published, that the attack on
Charleston at least by land, has been tenn
rorarly abandoned, and that Hunters
men, or large part Of them, arrived at
New Orleans, probably to secure tic quiet
Of Louisiana, many days ago. We know
Gen. Grant well enough to believe that if
needed: every available nan in his Depart
mcnt, save and except only enough to hold
Memphis, will be called to his aid and if
they are not enough, Missouri and Ken
lucky ought 10 be able to furnish on brief
notice all that he may lack.
On the other side, the Indications are
that the enemy are letting no grass grow
under their tcct. 10. Johnston is astir
and whatever our Generals may think, we
are sure that plain people, who have 8
knowledge Of the geography and topogra'
ply of the scene Of. the impending con
11ict, and it, surroundings. will he sure to
believe that no inconsidcrable portion o1
Braggs army will he detached to march
with Johnson's relieving columns; and vi
take il for granted that the guerilla parties
Of which there are many in Kentucky ant
Tennessee, will he called in, rs well as al
The available troops ut Mobile and othc
points on the Gulf Coast, to swell the ad
yancing tide.
It is not now unlikely that Vicksbur
will become the Scbastopol Of the war, an
that, after MI the magnificent mistakes
the East, our Western boys will be Gale
upon to end the prolonged and bitter struE
gle by the new deeds Of heroism that the
can put forth.

TIE NEWS.

The situation before Vicksburg is un-
changed in material points, No solution
has yet been reached Of the doub: and sus-
reuse that must possibly for some days to
come, possess the public mind.
Commander Ellet, Oh the Mississippi,
has visited IL salutary lesson upon the rebel
dwcllcrs along the river, who may be dis
posed 10 harbor gucri1|as. The town OF
Austria was totally destroyed by him, a
sequel to very pretty victory won by lis
cavalry.
Tie news Of the morning is generally
light, everything apparently waiting on
the looked-for event at Vicksburg.

der Breckenridge has become general, and
Polk and Hardcc have Withdrawn their forccs
in the direction Of Eicksburg, though Bragg

sent to Mississippi, aud Dragg's army is now
falling back to tho line Of the Tennessee.
4 Murfreesboro dispatch Of the 2Sth says,
Grant, at latest adyices, was still in position
before Vicksburg. The rebel accounts
of six unsuccessful assaults are
cxaggcrations. They seem to have mag
nifled every reconnaissance into an assault.
1t seems certain, however, that once since
Saturday, Grant did make pretty general as.
' eault, and failed to carry the works.
J Johnston has not ret attacked Grant, but
is gathering his forces not far away. 1t was
not.supposcd that the city could hold out long
CT than the 2Sth, under the tremendous fire
of Grants artillery.
