The City of yicksburg.

Vicksburg is the Capitol of Warren county
Mississippi, which county is bounded northeast
by Yazoo county, east and south by the Big
Black river, west by the Mississippi river north
west by Yazoo river. The country around
Vicksburg is drained by the branches of the
Big Black. The surface of the soil is rough
and hilly on the east. Almost the entire area
between the Yazoo river and Vicksburg is
covered with close timber, chiefly of stunted
size, mostly interviewer with luxurant under
growth, and interspersed with numerous bayous
creeks and swamps.
The city of Vicksburg is built upon hill or
bluff, the highest point of which is between
two and three hundred feet above the Missis-
sippf The Walnut Hills, little above Vicks-
burg, rise boldly with alternate swells and
gullies TO the height of nearly five hundred
feet, and form one of the most striking views
the travelermeets with on the lower Mississip-
pi. Below the city are Terrill's Bluffs, which
likewise present an imposing view. All the
commanding points on the hill have been
strongly fortified, both in front and in the rear
OF the town. Vicksburg contained a resident
population before the war of between four and
five thousand people. 1t has courthouse,
five or six churches, three academies, thea
tire, three printing offices and several public
and private schools.
In ordinary times an active business is done
ing materials by saw-mills, shingle factories
and brick-yards. In 1860 about one hundred
thousand bales of cotton were shipped TO New
Orleans, the city being the depot of all the
Yazoo county.
Vicksburg. and not Charleston, was really,
the first place where rebel cannon belched
forth. On the 18th of January. 1861, four
days after Mississippi seeded. the Quitman
battery, which had been ordered to Vicks-
burg by Gov. Pettus, was planted on the bluffs
and fired shot across the bow of the steam
boat A. o. Tyler, vessel which has since been
transformed into gunboat and done good SER
vice on the Mississippi, Tennessee and Cum
berland rivers. After that Custom House
was established at Nele's Landing, where, tor
short time, restrictions were placed upon
the navigation of our great inland acouatc
highway. The women of vcksburg were
among the most savage of the feminine Scces-
sionists OF the South. going so far, we believe
as to organize company Of "Home Guards"
the real object of which was, by a particular
KIND OF coersion to operate upon the male por-
ton OF the population and drive the men off
to the war.

The Capture of the Leviathan,

WAsH1NaroN, Oct. 26.-The Navy De-
partment has received information that the
steamer De Soto, during the latter part OF
October, (?) when in the Southwest Pass,
was informed that steamer had been
boarded by band of rebels and carried
out of the river. After run of 80 miles
she was captured, and proved to be the Lee
viathan. She is new and very fast screw
steamer, and was amply supplied with coal
and provisions for cruise, and had pick
ed crew.
Captain Walker says he feels satisfaction
in announcing this success for when the
Boston, a much inferior vessel was carried
off by the rebels, some months since, we
soon fell upon her track, and thus hau the
opportunity of witnessing the destruction
she produced in her path, 5lackening the
seas in her wake with the charred memoir
ais of many fine ships.
The Leviathan with her desperate band
has been sent to New Orleans.
Admiral Lee telegraphed from Newport
News yesterday that the Newborn has ar
rived from Beaufor, with 500 bbls. OF tar,
and crude turpentine.
The Nansemond had driven ashore the
Venus, one Of the largest and safest OF
the blockade runners, with a valuable cargo.
She is totally destroyed.

which lost heavily. They had short en-
gagement with two brigades of our infantry,

near Baton Station. The enemy showed
only infantry to the front
Among the killed in General Gregg S
command is Major G. E. Taggart, I'd Penn
sylvania cavalry: formerly of General Xii
patrick's staff Major Taggart was shot
through the knee which was so badly shat
tered as to render amputation necessary
