The news from Vicksburg is to the 29th
and no change in the situation isreported.
The Federal gunboat Cincinnati has been
sunk by the rebel batteries, with loss Of
nearly thirty persons On board. The Gin
cinnati was one ofthe boats brought out at
Carondelet, near St. Louis, in 1862 by Mr.
Euds The disaster is given in detail in
our dispatches. The close investment Of
YickEburg by Gen. Grant continues. Reb-
e. dcserters, gentlemen not ordinarily to be
trusted, to any great extent) bring
important rumors that the cessa-
lion Of hostilities had taken place
to allow tie women and children to leave
Ticksburg, and also TINT the rebels were on
scant rations, with surrender or starvation
not very remote, unless external MD inter
Eoses 10 save them.
Our adyices from Springfield report an
outbreak Of L. 6. G. resistance to the
Government, at Decatur in this State, in
which deputy Sheriff vas shot The
parties concerned in the affair are now in
custody under strong military guard.
Hints are also forwarded Of some disturb
ance in Williamson county, which will
find the Government officials prompt
ut its suppression. Our Cincinnati
special dispatch announces the kindred
fact Of the sentence Of Brinsnlade, the
Union county rioter. Altogether, taking
tue full amount Of evidence elsewhere pre-
scntcd, which may be grouped under the
general classification of the griets Of Hi
uois Copperlleads, it is very substantially
shown, by what wc publish this morning,
that disloyalty in print or il overt act in
Ills statc will be punished and suppressed,
and scccsh Journalists and sympathizers
everywhere in Gen. Burnside's department
must assume the virtue Of loyalty, even if
they have it not. The Government, with
au army in the field to crush the rebellion,
is too powerful 10 be fouted and assailcd
at Lome 4 cu1fcw Inns sounded for the
fire in the rear.
The intelligence from Gen. Banks de-
pa1tmcnt is Of most interesting and i'm
portant character: 4 Federal movement
nortAward from Bayou Sara, and severe
battle near Port Hudson has been followed
By substantial Federal victory won By
Augcr's division.
Under tie head Of news discredited or
in doubt, must be classod the fall Of Pueb-
ia, ana tie removal Of General Hunter,
both Of which events, recently affirmed,
are now denied. 1t is the tlllrd dispatch
IN each case that Will giye the weight Of
evidence.
The news from Tennessee, Of the success
fu1 workings Of Gen. Paine's experiment
Of free labor on slave plantations, throws a
food Of light on dark question, What
Shall be done with the blackse We are
arriving nt solution very fast. Make SOL
dicrs Of them to aid in the suppression Of
The rebellion. Make hired men !" Of them
and substitute the pay roll for the lash,
cnntented and compensated labor for the
1.dgery Of the bondman. The present
aspect, though hut the beginning, is full Of
promise.
The heart Of every n1inoisaa will warm
with the emotion inspired by the Cairo dis
patch announcing the arrival Of the great
fani,a1y Supply Expedition ut Tint place,
en route to aid our Illinois wounded SOL
diers at Vicksburg. Even the Springfield
