We have no further news of the opera

this may be new incident in the siege.
We do not conclude from it that the two

engaged. Bonbardment alone has been
t. led before, and proved entirely ineffec-
tual. Yet there are other Indications
tlat General Grant is not idle. General
McPherson's corps embarked on che 10th

more reinforcements are probably on the
