THE NEWS.

The news this week is of most cheering
nature. If the details shall not prove AS
satisfactory as we all could hope-the utter
annihilation of the army at Vicksburg-
there is enough to rejoice over. The Mis-
sissippi is clear, and the rebellion, as it were,
broken in the middle. The loss in life is
undoubtedly heavy, but the victory is the
most complete and thrilling of the war.
Grant has been long making the siege, but
did his work well. He has immortalized
his name. He is one of the very best mil
itary men in this country. Our generals
always do better outside the Washington in
huence, than those Immediately under the
control of Halleck and the "powers that be. -
Why this is, remains mystery.
Affairs are beginning to look better from
the South. This defeat is one Of the most
dishearteuing to the rebellion, that has yet
taken place. And there is every evidence
that the leaders, as we'll as the soldiers, are
losing their faith in their ability to gain in
dependence. The scarcity of all the neces-
saries of life-the worthlessness of their
money-the fact that they have raised all
the men for their army that they can gel
from the Southland that their army is now
actually rapidly on the decrease, without
any prospect of recruiting, all go to estab'
lish this Their case is getting desperate
and the people are broken and dispirited
This is getting to be the tone of their press
With Vicksburg in our hands, the i'm,
mense army which has been besieging tina
city for months, can now be used in another
part of the country. Perhaps they will b.
thrown against Bragg. and succeed in cap.
turing him. We hope so.
If Halleck, and Seward, and a few of ou
generals, could now be removed, and the
right kind of men put in their places, th'
rebellion would speedily end. We hops
there will be no more delaying. The ball il
in motion, and now let it be kept going IN
til the rebellion is crushed and every rebe
driven into the Gulf of Mexico. It. ough
to be done quickly. We don't want an.
more six months rests.

them. It is hardly possible to doubt that a
growing victory of lifelong struggle for the
great river has atlast been won, and Yicks-
burg is ours.
The Richmond Dispatch of May 23d con-
tains the following: In Saturdays fight we
lost 80 pieces ofartillery which were spik-
ed and abandoned. On Sunday the Federals
advanced to take Big Black bridge. but
were repulsed. They then crossed higher
up and took US in the rear, when the bridge
was burned and the works abandoned. Our
loss was heavy.
Vicksburg is closely besieged, the enemy
closing on all sides.
At11 O'Clock a. M. May Gath, the Presi-
dent received the following telegram from
Cleveland: A dispatch received from Mr..
Fuller, manager ofthe telegraph at Memphis,

get confirmation, but the line has been inter

Fort Blunt.

Colonel William A. Phillips, command
ing the Indian Brigade, has fully completed
his work at old Fort Gibson, on the Grand
river, Cherokee Nation. He has re-christen-
ed this post, and it is now known as Fort
Blunt. The works erected under the di-
rectiou of the indefatigable Colonel, are ca
pable of being held against an attacking party
Of twenty thousand, and cannot be taken ex-
cept by a regular investment, which shall cut
off The supplies of the hesleged. A number
of siege and field guns are mounted en- bar
bette, and in addition to the main works, a
lneo rife pits extends along the Grand and
Arkansas rivers, entirely covering all the
positions from which an attacking force
might annoy US. =
fhe piekets and outposts of the Brigade
are arranged with great care and skill, every
precaution being taken to guard against any
sudden movement of the rebels. s5
With Fort Blunt as a base of operations,
Colonel Phillips has no doubt of his ability
to hold the southern line of this District,
and at the same time, by means of having
mounted scouts aud Reconnaissance, keep the
rebels constantly harrassed and annoyed
Colonel William A. Phillips is most eff :.
Gent officer. and in lieu of being supefceded,
as the telegraph intimstes that he is 10 be,
should be promoted, have his, com nand in

Blunt, be allowed to conquer and hold the
entire Indian Territory Conservative.

ITEMS BY LAST NIGHTS MAIL.

The news from Vicksburg, last night, was
not as satisfactory as we had hoped. Yet
there is strong ground to believe that the
next mail will confirm the last reports. The
indications are that ne have Yicksburg. A
dispatch from Washington, 96th, says: at
is understood that the Government has re-
ceiyed an official dispatch from Gen. Grant,
dated ED, which confirms all previous &C
counts of the success of our troops, and
speaks of the capture of Vicksburg as Ger
tain. 1t is also reported here to-day, that
the rebel -pickets on the Rappahannock yes
terday admitted that Vicksburg had been
captured" Another dispatch of the same
date says that Gen. Grant is perfectly conf
dent of taking the city, but that it must be
done by Investment aud approaches, and a
week may be consumed in it.
The following from Washington, 9eth,
looks rather dubious: at is stated that dis
patch has been received from Gen. Grant
speaking of an intercepted dispatch from
JEFF. Davis, promising the forces at Vicks-
JUL tud6 IL tuoy uclu OuL ulIe6u udyS he
would send them 100, 900 reinforcements
Davis's promise of reinforcements of course
refers to Bragg's army, but there is a good
reason to believe that Rosecraus will not be
slow to prevent any movement of that sort.
This dispatch was understood to be received
this morning. Since then nothing whatever
has been made public concerning the situa-
ton at Vicksburg." 1t is to be feared that
the rebels may get in Grants rear, and at
least greatly retard his progress.
The following was received at headquar-
tiers in Washington on the 96th, via Mem
phis, 25th, from Major General Hurlburt ::
% The steamer Luminary is just up from
Vicksburgh. No official dispatches. Ord
nance officer Syford, writes, May 22d, Our
loss is not very heavy for the position we
have gained. The rebels make firm resis-
lance. think we shall have the place to-
morrow"
News from rebel sources is that Grant
has been whipped back.

TONE OF THE LATE RICHMOND PAPERS
The latest Richmond papers contain highly
significant articles upon the disastrous effects
of the grand cavalry raids of ours in Vit.
ginis. Mississippiand Georgia, in which they
admit that terrible damage has been done by
our forces IN these States These journals
also lay great stress upon the occupation of
West Point, Virginia. BY the Union forces,
intimating that IFS possession would be an
incalculable damage to that large and produc-.
tive part of Virginia, which, having thus far.
escaped the ravsges of the war, has supplied
the people of Richmond. and the troops and
the hospitals with large and indispensable
supplies of bFeadstuf and other provisions
Such is the opinion of the Examines
And it further states That the presence of an
army at West Point viii completely paralyze
the agricultural energy of more than seventy
thousand persons, the most distant of whom
do not reside fifty miles from Richmond;
because, not having suffered from the raw
ages of war, the farmers throughout that
whole region are making the most extensive
preparations for large crops. These are
significant admissions, and show not only
the value but necessity of gaining and keep
ing secure foothold at West Point.
