Grants Operations Against Vicksburg.
We publish on our outside form q short
but clear and correct history of Gen.
Grants movements up to the taking OF
Black River bridge, by correspondent OF
the Chicago Times, who accompanied the
army The following is continuation Of
the history; The letter was written May
GOTH .Gf- Nt~ .
81 have sent you an account of the
Champion Hill and Black River Bridge
battles The former proves to have en-
tailed larger loss upon our army than
was at first supposed. Our wounded alone
amount to a trifle above 1890. The enc
mys loss is acknowledged to have been
not over half that. We had about 20, O00
troops engaged; the rebels about 10000,
according to accounts of their wounded.
We took 5000 prisoners and 5000 at the
battle Of the bridge.
Gen. Sherman crossed on the pantoon
bridges. McPhersons and McClernands
corps built the bridges on Sunday night,
and crossed their commands by Monday
noon.
By 4 o'clock the advance of Gen. Sher
mans corps, under Gen. Steele, reached
took position on the right, on the bluffs
above it, aud commenced bombardment.
Gen Mcpherson planted his command in
front, or in our centre, aad Gen. McCier.
nand took the extreme left, reached al
most to the river below.
The possibility of escape is cut off. Ev'
cry living man, woman, and child III the
city must fall into our hands.
All the forenoon yesterday the different
brigades were taking positions, forming
lines of battle, &c, and at 2 o'clock the
battle began in earnest. Skirmishing had
been going on all the forenoon. Gen.
Steele drove the enemy from several forts,
and took one complete line of fortified
tons fronted by riflepits. HIS extreme
right rested on the river bank, under the
bluffs, at sundown.
His division fought CALAMITY all day,
though hungry. dirty, footsore, and sleepy.
Sherman left and McPhersons right
are in supporting distance Both adj
vancen their lines of skirmishers to with
in fifty yards of the breastworks
and their artillery to within five hundred
yards, and are in position at these distan-
ces this morning. McClernand is not pro-
crossing SO fast, but is doing we'll.
We lost about 900 killed and wound
ed yesterday.
This morning a simultaneous assault
will be ordered on the enemys works,
understand, from all points. 1t cannot
fail Of success.
The fight yesterday was grand beyond
description.

War News of the Week.

The usual quiet rsigns on the Kappa
hammock, and from appearances, move
msnt by Lee il the only chance for dis
turbing that quiet soon. But Lee ha.
given signs of not remaining quiet. He
has issued an order to his troops promis
ing them active work and hard marching
whence it is inferred that he meditates an
other raid into Maryland and Pennsylva
mia, or to throw himself between Hooker
and Washington. Startling news from
that quarter il promised soon.
Nothing from Suffolk or the Peninsula
except rebel rumors Of large federal
force in the vicinity of West Point
Everything is dead at Charleston. In
deed the statement is made on pretty good
authority th.t Beauregard has started
with a heavy part of the Charleston troops
either to reinforce Lee in Virginia or Joe
JOHNSON Mississippi. while the New
orleans Era of May 5th says, I'VE have
good reason for sayins that a large part OF
the forces under Gen. Hunter, and most
Charleston, are now on their way to this
department We believe that in twenty
days both Mobile and Galveston will be in
our possession.
There are the usual rumors of threat
sned heavy rebel invasion Of Kentucky
There is NO doubt but there is consider
able rebel force on the south bank of the
Cumb erland near Somerset, and it may
be the nucleus of q grand invading army.
Gen. Burnside has gone TO Louisville, evi.
IDENTIFY to prepare for something of the
kind. The rebels report 10000 of Burn
sides men marching on Cumberland Gap,
and promise them hot reception.
From Roseerans' department the news
10, that Bragg's forces have made retro
grade movement, and that there are no
forces between Murfresboro and Manches-
ter; and at tho same time Rosecrans has
been advancing his lines. 1t looks as if
Bragg intended to make his last ditch
st Chattanooga
We have given elsewhere an ineligible
and reliable sketch of the movements
against Vicksburg from the correspond
ent Of the Chicago Times up to the 29th.
The telegraph reports of the operations
since then, are not very clear, beyond this,
that Grant has already done much hard
fighting before Vicksburg, made some pro-
gress every day, but has not yet succeeded
in taking the place. There does not ap-
pear to be any reliable authority for the
report that Pemberton had offered to
surrender the place en- condition that he
might march out with his whole army,
and that Grant refused Ga the contrary,
the rebels seem confident of being able to
hold the place.
Yesterdays dispatches stated, in SUBJ
stance, that Gen. Grant made an assault
on Vicksburg on Friday last, and was re-
pulsed with heavy loss, whereupon he
commenced intrsnching and throwing up
ride-pits. On Monday the assault was
renewed, and one report states that every
rebel redout was carried. Later advices
say that furious fighting was progressing,
and that the havoc in the Federal ranks
was fearful Banks army was reported to
20 advancing to Grants assistance but the
report was discredited. Johnston was
said to be IN the Federal rear, with a con
siderable force, and the rebels assert that
to WAS being constantly reinforced
