MILLIKENs BEND.-There can no longer be
any doubt that Miliken's Bend is in possession of
. our forces. 1t was taken by General Taylor,
forming part of Gen. Kirby Smiths force. The
force of Gen. Taylor numbered 5000 men These
facts have been communicated to the President
officially by despatch (telegraphio) from Genera,
Johnston. 1t is impossible to overestimate the
value of this capture Milliken's Bend completely
commands the channel of the river when the water
is low as it is at present, and the party in posses
sion of it can, in such stage of water, absolutely
stop the passage of all and every kind of craft
bound either up or down the river. AS all the
provisions for Grants army come from above, it
will at once be that this conquest must prove
fatal to the enterprise against Vicksburg. Soldiers
must eat it they be expected to fight, and if they
can get nothing to eat they must fall back. As
far we can see, Grant cannot sustain his army
without the free use of the Mississippi Tn the
meantime, Smith, having possession Of Millken's
Bend, has a free passage to Johnston whenever
the latter may call for his assistance, and can pass
over Price, who is at the head Of seventeen thous
and men.-Richnaona Dispgteh.
