In REAR OF VICKsBtRa, May 20-The

of the 18th, left a rear. guard on the
west side of Black River, to harass our

building bridges in time TO overtake hem

a small body Of men posted behind for
midable earthworks, with excellent range
upon all who should make their apyearr
ance on the river bank. :, A number OF
our men volunteered, as sharp shooters,

something preferable to either. Get ing
possession of a few cotton bAles,a they
rolled them, gradually forward toward
The enemy's position, firing at each step
advanced, without exposing themselves.
They soon had their migrating breasts
works within deadly range of the rebels,
aud kept up such hot fire, from behind
them, that the rear guard of the fugi-
tives attempted no further disturbance

them To prosecute their labOrs as if their

RETREAT oF TIE REBELS.

The rebels wanted TO repulse us at Big
Black 50 as to save the jackson and
Vicksburg Railroad Bridge, the destrue-
ton of which involved tNe destruction Of
their railroad conn uaication witt all
points. Finding it Impossible to check
US, they applied the torch TO the trestle-
work themselves, so as to prevent us from
crossing our army on the bridge. In
doing this they only performed a work
which General Grant would otherwise
have assigned TO a detail of his own
men. To destroy the railroad was a part
OF our mission; to save il should have
been part of their programme. If they
had any hope of defeating us at YicksI
burg, why not save their railroad to re :
establish their lines Of communication as
soon as possible after our retreat. % I
As many of the rebels as could escape
crossed the river set fire to the bridge
and started Immediately on the march for
Vicksburg. They burned their camp
equipage and large quantity of stores
on the other side. The road m which
they retreated we found covered with
abandoned wagons and other evidences
Of haste and panic MACK

Sherman,s troops commenced crossing
Big Black at an early hour on the morn
ing of the 18th. He took the road lesd-
ing TO Haines' Bluff. McOierhand's
entire command was on. the east side of
the river by noon on the same day. He
marched on what is called the Halls
Ferry Road, to the left of Mcpherson,
who crossed about the same time and
moved on the main Vicksburg and Jack
son Road. l shared the opinion Of many
others that we would get Vicksbprg
witho It another battle, and went for
ward with the cavalry advance fully ex-
pecting TO pass tine night of the 18th ia
the capitulated Gibraltar of the South
west. Our troops in possession Of Big
Black, the railroad in,their rear de-
str6yed, and al their lines Of cOmmuni-
cation certainly TO be cut of, i thought
they would make tne best of their way
out by Haines' Bluff, TO Yazoo City, and
thence 70 some point on the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad. The capture of Vicks-
burg, felt sure, would be such an affair
as the capture of Columbus, Kyy hence
went forward to get an early view OF
| the fallen stronghold. Catching up with
| the advance, learned they were feeling
their way cautiously, expecting every
moment to meet the enemy's pickeis.
