VICTORY Victory !!-Victory has shone
upon our banners in Grants glorious cam
paign in the rear of Vicksburg. In series
ofbloody engagements our soldiers have i'm
mortalized themselves. The record of the
last fortnight's operations reminds us of Ma
poleons first campaign in Italy. The enemy
have everywhere been routed, with immense
losses in killed, wounded, prisoners, artillery,
horses, and supplies. Their armies have been
divided, defeated, broken in pieces, and crush
ed 1t is clear that the rebels have been out
generated and out fought; that they have been
beaten in strategy, shattered in detail, whip
ped from their chosen positions, and that
their great stronghold, Vicksburg, which they
valued far above any other place on the con-
tinent, has proven trap for their beaten ar
nv. They have lost prisoners by the thou
sand and cannon by the hundred. We do
not know which most to admire, the consum-
mate generalship which has given our army
shueh glorious opportunity of whipping the
enemy, or the indomiiable fighting qualities
with which the soldiers have improved to the
utmost their opportunity Unquestionably
the general results of the Vicksburg campaign
is to the rebels much the heaviest blow they
have received during the war. Our material
success is immense, and its moral effect through
out the country must be most gratifying '-DG'-
