! required in obtaining adVices from Vicks
burg than heretofore.

had occasioned much anxiety, is derived
from them, namely, that Gen Grant was
in communication with Gen. Banks al
late as the 4th, at which time Port Hud
sou was closely invested.

is concentrating troops to operate agains

Vicksburg is still closely invested. The
siege is progressing fa7orably. The tone

| such as to show that Grant fears neither

carried hope ard confidence in the fua
success OF the siege. af
