with slight resistance, the enemy having
abandoned the post, destroying their
magazine and spiking two seige guns,
leaving two seige guns unspiked. At 5
o'clock Sunday a. M, at which time our
informant left, McClernand was still
forcing the enemy in the direction of
Vicksburg.
At Grand Gulf we captured fifty pris-
oners. Two of the abandoned guns
found there had been taken from the In
dianola. Our troops also captured four
additional siege guns, posted on the
bank of Black river, abont two miles
from its mouth.
The latest intelligence from below is,
that our army is still pushing on toward
Vicksburg, the troops being in the high
est spirits, and confident of victory.
General Grants force is amply sufi-
cient, the strength of the enemy is APP
proximately known, and the nature of
his defenses in the rear of Vicksburg
well ascertained. The speedy capture
OF that important place and large num-
Der of prisoners is considered certain.
In the fight with Bowen's brigade, the
18th Missouri, U. s., was opposed to the
9th Missouri, c. s., each regiment being
composed principally of St Louis boys.
At one period a flag of truce was sent
from the enemy, accompanying which
were Samuel Carlisle, Frank Carter, and
Samuel Howath, of this city, and at
present on Gen. Howen's staff
The rebel Captain William Wade, of
ST Louis, had his head shot off by a
cannon-ball from the gunboat, during
the engagement on Thursday.

"FoRNENsT" THE CoPPERHEADs.-A
soldier in the army of the Cumberland,
who was formerly resident of this
place, writes to one of our business men
business letter; but so great is his in
dignations at the northern Copperheads
that he can not refrain from express
sing his opinion of them. We take an
extract from the letter, which is dated
Murfreesboro, May 3D.:
We came in from a scout of eleven
days, Thursday evening last. Wewere
out with Gen. Reynolds to McMinvilIe,
Liberty, Alexandra, &c. We stirred the
rebels up considerable if not more.
Chickens, turkeys geese, hog sheep, ba-
con, corn, milk, butter, &c, &c, suffered
to an alarming extent. Confiscation is
orr motto, and it is the only one that
will bring the war to speedy close.
Starvation is at great many doors in
this part of "Dixie, and they are coming
into our lines to get away from the grim
monster Secession is hard road to
travel, and | wish some of, the northern
Copperheads were down here, so we
could give them start on that delecta-
! BILE road, However their day of recon-
ing is coming, and woe be unto them
I dom believe there is soldier in this
army but what would rather shoot one
of those vile God forsaken things in hu-
man shape, than they would arebel who
meets them face to face on the field of
battle, l would like to live through this
war, to help administer to them their
Just deserts. If l should not be SO fortu-
. nate, there are plenty that will, and they
will be no ways backwards in melting out
to them their portion of the rod ofcorrec-
ton"

hurled his forces on small boy with such

retreat with some loss. Shortly after
wards, small boy having obtained rein

of the last attack, and denouncing this
second attack as gross violation of all
the known rules of civilized war, and
contrary TO the precedents of our gener-

negroes, attempted to land at Rodman's
point, but were repulsed by a terrible
fire of rebel bullets-all tumbling into
the boat and lying fat to escape being
shot Meanwhile the boat stuck fast on
the shore, when this noble African said:
Somebody's got to die to git US out of
dis, and it may as well be mel He
then deliberately got out and pushed the
boat off, and fell into it, pierced by five
bullets. DIR. Ware afterwards amputated
a leg and resected part OF one bone in
