The Situation of Affairs the Mississippi.
The department of Gen. Pemberton is now as
sailed on every side. Gen. Grant is still pouring
his hordes down from the North, and Gen. Banks
is still crowding US from the South. The two
"Gibraltars of the South" Vicksburg and Port
Hudson yet frown defiance sternly at all their foes.
If they can hold out yet little while, the hot sun
of next month will be mighty host in our favor,
and will slay the Mortimer in myriads, like the
angels of the Lord slew the huge armies of Sena ch-
crib of OLD.
Com. Farragut has succeeded in score Of trials
in running the gauntlet, but at great sacrifice of
lives and boats, and now commands feet of fifteen
vessels of various shapes and sizes; and is endeav
oring to cut off supplies and communication be-
tween the two banks of the Mississippi and is ma
king sad havoc with the remaining stock on the
plantations for two hundred miles between Vicks-
burg and Port Hudson. A recent number of the
Mobile AdvertiSer says:
"The attention of the administration was never
more seriously required than in the present emer-
gency 1t behooves Mr.. Davis and his cabinet to
decide without hesitation. Some point must be
sacrifced-whether 1t be Richmond, Tennessee, the
seacoast or the control of the Mississippi river"
COL Grerson has made successful Yankee cav
airy raid clear through the whole State of Mssis-
sppl, starting at Cornth and sweeping every thing
before him, down to Beloxi on the Gulf He was
driven from his line once by few mounted plant
ers, with double barrels; but he stayed not to dis
cuss matters with them, and went on his destruc-
tive way rejoicing-and of course they had not the
numbers or ability to follow him.
Gen. Kirby Smith has gone to Alexandria to
communicate with Gems Taylor and Magruder.-
The Natchez Courier Ct recent date published the
report started by soldier from Port Hudson, that
Gen. Smith had met portion of Banks corps and
whipped them, driving them back to Washington,
La The Confederate force consisted altogether of
raw recruits from the trans. Mississippi country.

Gen. Johnston,s Headquarters.


At Tullahoma there has been no movement for
several months on the part of the main army. On
the first Of the month, positive information was re-
ceived that forty odd transports had come up the
Cumberland river and landed troops at Nashville,
which were then sent to Murfreesboro' and there
can be little doubt that these troops belong Burn
sides corps.
Gen. Rosecrans' entire force must now number
at least 75, 900. After the battle of Murfresboro,
with the addition of Maj. Gen. Granger's Kentucky
army, he had AZ, 900 men. Gen Ziegel's reinforce
mentS from Western Virginia, $4,000; and now,
the reinforcements by Burnsdes army, 900, will
make an aggregate force of 75, 900 men on paper
allowing for absentecs and the sick, about $4,000,
will give effective force ready to take the field
at any moment, of 10000. Gen. Rosecranz is re-
ported to have mounted eight thousand infantry, to
prevent our making raids in his rear, and to make
raids himself in our rear, in North Alabama and
Georgia.
Strategic maneuvres will probably be carried on
for some time before any regular field engagement
Rosecranz is one of the best if not the best General
of the three or four hundred that Abraham is said
to have; but under the leadership of such man as
job nston, little doubt can be felt by our people for
the result Our army is composed of $4,000 vet
Grams, well drilled and disciplined by General
Bragg. And no matter what is said concerning
Bragg's want of success, &C., as General, all our
army officers admi: that he cannot be exceled in
getting men in the right condition to fight. From
Northern correspondents We learn that after last
Friday, May Sth, Gen Rosecranz had issued an or
der forbiddng all women and non combatants en-
tering his lines This is an indication on his part
of procet ding to business Immediately.

Reinforcements Fastening to Bragg
Fighting Reported and Bragg De-
feated-He receives Reinforcements
and Drives Rosecrans.
MEMPHIS, Sept l5.-A large infantry
force from Johnson's army, are reported
marching up from Tuscumbia valley, to
reinforce Bragg.
Roddy's command has gone to Deca-
tur for the same purpose.
Refugees bring reports circulating in
the South, to the effect that after two
days fighting, during which Bragg was
defeated and driven back, he received
large reinforcsments from Johnston,
which turned the tide of battle, and that
he is now driving Rosecrans.
All JOhnson's cavalry are reported to
have joined Bragg, with the purpose of
destroying Rosecrans' ammunition train.

BREAD FOR THE MILLIoN-The new
steam bakery of Messrs. Weld & Co., on
Water street, next door to Hendricks
tobacco Factory, is now fairly under way,
and is destined to cut no unimportant
figure in the bread and cake trade of
this city.
The establishment has been gotten up
without regard to expense, with all the
modern machinery and improvements
and is by far the most perfect establish
ment of the kind in Southern Indiana.
Mr.. Weld, the active manager, is one
of the most competent and experienced
bakers in the country, and every effort
will be made to merit liberal share of
the public patronage.
They have on hand a large stock of
CONNECTIONS, including caudies, foreign
fruits, nuts, &c, tasether with stock
of the finest cigars in the city.
A new and handsome Wagon stands
Just back of our office, with which they
propose to supply their customers, whose
names will doubtless soon be legion.
We bespeak for the new institution lib
eral share of public patronage.

A HANDSOME REsIDENcE-There is
scarcely anything that goes farther to
give tone and character to a city than its
style of architecture
Next to churches, schools and
other public institutions, people of re-
fined taste look to the style of architec-
ture, that it has attained, in making up
- their estimate of the character of a city,
as well as of the character OF its iahabi-
tants.
The people of Evansville have given
this matter bat little attention.
They have busted themselves in accu-
mulating wealth and amassing property,
preferring to live in plain but comforta-
BILE boil5ip5z, --sla -Is-<-sSE7sz ven
filed, rather than trouble themselves
with the external appearance of their
residences
Hence, strangers visiting our city are
apt to consider our people old fogies, and
10 look upon our city as finished. Even
the business houses of Evansville lack
taste and style in this particular.
We are glad to see, however, that this
state of affairs is rapidly improving, and
that our citizens, who have amassed
some wealth by diligent application to
business, are giving more attention to
the outward appearance of our city and
are useing some effort to add to its style
and ornamentation. During the last
year or two some very handsome resi-
dcnces have been built Among these
we may mention Mr. Dement, Mr.. Dial
zell, Mr.. Healy, and others.
But the dwelling which, in our judg-
ment, combines most of architectural
beauty, semetry, convenience and good
taste, is that just being completed by
Mr. G. S. Sonntag, on First Street.
The plans were drawn, of course, by
Messrs. Mursinna & Boyd, who have
established most enyiable reputation il
their profession.
The style is modern Italian and com
bines great beauty with great eonven
fence, all the parts harmonizing in thu
most perfect order, and presenting at the
same time most pleasing variety in it
arrangement and finish.
The front view is, we think, by al
odds, the very handsomest in the city
being neat, elegant and pleasantly de
vised, and presenting several entirel
new features. Among these is the foo
OF the portico, which is composed G
marble thing, introduced for the frs
time into this city. The front door an
casing is also very handsome piece {
work, the large PANEL consisting of
magnificent plate of French glass.
Throughout the whole building Ii
same good taste is manifested. TIL
arrangementof the rooms, the selection
of paper, the fittings, cornices ar
mouldings, all harmonic in the mo
pleasing manner.
Every room has its own style of pape
al elegant and many really magni6cer

finish. Back of that is the dining roo
