Probable Capture of Vicksburg
Five Days of Terrible Fighting.
ROUT OF GEN. FORESTS FORCES.

CAIRO, Jan. A.
The Memphis Bulletin, just received, says
the steamer Rattle has arrived direct from the
feet at Vicksburg, which place she left on
Monday evening.
Fighting has been going on for five days,
commencing on Wednesday. Up to Monday
Morning Gen. Sherman had captured three
lines of the enemy's works. The firing on the
fourth and last line, on the jackson & Vicks-
burg Railroad had ceased, and the indications
were that it had surrendered. This line was
just two miles from Vicksburg. and there was
nothing between Gen. Sherman and Vicks-
burg but tressle work Of the railroad.
Before taking the Notifications Gen. Sher-
man sent brigade to cut off the communca-
tion with the city by the Shreveport Railroad,
which was successfully accomplished.
Gen. Sherman was reinforced Sunday night
by 1900 men from Gen. Grants army by way
of the river. The whole Federal force at
Vicksburg is now 10000 men.
At the latest accounts we had captured ten
guns and 700 prisoners. Nothing has been
heard from the forces below.
The steamer Judge Torrance was fired on
while passing MilliknnsviIle. In retaliation
the Rather burned the town.
Gen. Sullivan, with force of 5000 men. at
tackled Gen. Forrest, on Thursday morning, at
Hunts Cross Roads, twelve miles from Lex
ington, Tenn. 1t was severe engagement,
lasting all day. A gunboat patrolled the
river, which prevented the rebels from cross
ing. They fought desperately, but were final
ly routed and scattered, with loss of 400 in
killed and wounded and 400 prisoners. We
also took $50 horses, nearly 1000 stand of
arms and a battery of six guns. Our loss was
500 in killed and wounded. These losses NAV
be exaggerated, but it is certain, however that
they were very heavy.
