The President is in receipt Of dispatches from

announcing that sir gunboatS and tDclve bdrges

To the credit of the troops be 1t said that

tho former, belonging to the Illinois regiments,
volunteered to do the boatmens work, and they
did 1t, the crews having been left behind.
This second splendid success of throwing a
great land and naval force below Vicksburg,
completely .fanking the rebel position, was accom-
pllshed with the loss of only two men mortally
wounded and few more (not exceeding ten
severely and slightly wounded.
The pilots were made the targets of the rebel
sharpshooters who lined the shore. The former,
to prevent being spllntercd in case they were
wounded, had their pilot houses removed and
exposed themselves to the enemy.
General Grant teegraphs to the President
that he considers this movement, in view Of its
importance, the terrible fire to which the boats
were exposed, and the slight loss of property
and men, a magnificent success.

Mr.. Walker has gone to England to help
regulate weights and measures between that
country and this. Some of England's measures
are not very popular in America, and her weight
is used adversely to our cause.
The Treasury, it is stated, receives 50, 900 900

PROBABLE EVACUATION OF PORT
HUDSON AND VICKSBURG
BY THE REBELS.

If the reader will post himself up thoroughly
the recent movements of Gen. Banks and
Admiral Farragut against Port Hudson, and
their present position, and the recent move
ments of Gen. Grant and Admiral Porter against
ViCksburg, and their present position, 1t will be
seen that the supplies entirely cut of and
that the rebels must from necessity evacuate
their two strongholds, and abandon the Missis-
ippi river and fall back to within reach of sup
n Lies in the interior of the territory now held
by the Davis ollgarchy, or Stdrre! They can.
not attack our forces with any success, be-
cause to do it they must have gunboats.
They haze none. If they do not evacuate and
retire, they will soon be driven out, or, from
military necessity, be compelled to surrender.
The rebels know this and the country may ex-
pect very soon to hear news from the West OF
the greatest importance, of the most cheer ing
character.

SPLENDID OPERATIONS OF GENERAL
BANKS.

The news, which we publish in another col
umn from General Banks, is truly refreshing,
but, after all, nothing more than might be ex-
pocted from a man Of his great foresight and
executive ability. Our Associated Press dis
patches are meagre, and the Government Is not
yet in possession of official dispatches. We un-
dcrstand, however, by private dispatches from
New York, that the morning papers of that city
contain full details Of the important operations
Of General Banks west Of Grand Lake and in
the vicinity of the De Tcchc river as far as Yer
millionvllle, which is about sixty miles from
Baton Rouge and about one hundred and TWEEN.
ty-fve miles from New Orleans. The repulses
Of the rebels in battle, the capture of one thou
sand rebel prisoners, the destruction of ten
rebel transport steamers, and largsquantity OF
rebel supplies, resulting from General Banks's
expeditions into this new field of operations,
combines to make one of the grandest victories
that we have been called upon to record for
some time. The face of the President is wreathed
in smiles at the news, and the hearts of the peo-
pic all over the loyal States will swell with graf
itude to General Banks for this peerless Napo-
leonic demonstration against the rebels.
