ACCIDENTS In RoCKLAND.-We learn from
Mr.. Austin, telegraph operator at Rockland,
who came up in the Harvest Moon' yester-
day, that two serious accidents, one fatal, oc-
Cured in that place on Tuesday. The first
one was that by which Mr.. Jesse Mills, of
Windhafn, got jamned between the wharf and
vessel to which he belonged. He was at
tempting to fend off the vessel and slipped,
and SO great was the injury he sustained that
he died the same evening. He leaves wife
and ten children, the oldest sixteen years of
age.
The other was an injury by premature
discharge while blasting rock in lime quar-
ry. The man was very badly injured in the
face, though 1t is hoped that his eye sight will
be saved

The best information credits Loring at
Jackson with 5000 rebels, Walker at Yazoo
City with $4,000 and Johnston at Canton with
1900. These will be massed to attack Grants
rear, but he holds all the fords on the Black
river, which must be crossed by Johnston and
Loring. The rebel cavalry are continually
scouting outside Grants lines. Much sickness
is said to prevail at Vicksburg, and the citi-
