THE NEWS.
From the East and South east, there is
nothing Dew. All is quiet on the Kappa
hammock. 81
From Southern papers. we learn that the.
captured correspondents were on their way
to Richmond, we presume, to be exchanged.
The oSty- poi3t-ef aetiVity-now is the
Southwest. The Gazette of this morning,
has special from Corinth, dated yesterday,
which says:
Grant took Jackson, Miss, ON the 18th,
and bufntfhe Capitol. -
Rebel re- endorsements are arriving from
Georgia and South Carolina, stopped about
twelve miles east of j ackson. Gen. Joseph
E. johnson is in. command. i-o
= Rebel accounts, however, say that john
stou evaded Grant, and is now with Penn
berton near Vicksburg. Of the capture of
jackson, however, there is now no room to
interpose doubt The defense was a stub
bern one, but our forces overcams it and en-
tered the city in triumph. 90 o.. ts...
Jackson is on the west bank of the Pearl
river, and is at the crossing of the Mem
phis and New Orleans, and the Mississippi
Central Railroad. 1t is at the head Of steam
small craft can run on the river on account
of the numerous shoals, which the enter
prise of the chivalry was incompetent to
remove. Gunboats can ply from Lake
Borgne portion Of the way up the nVer,
but not half way to Jackson.
It is said that Pembertou has large force
at Black River Bridge, at which he pro-
posed to give Grant battle, and that he is
fortifying his position. The capture of
jackson will compel him to march out of
his intreRchments, and fight our forces on
their own ground. cr
A rumor has reached Cairo that the bat
tie had actually taken place, and that Penn
berton had been defeated; but we are in
clined to think Il grew out of the success
i've defeats Of Be %, in the vicinity OF
jackson, by Osterhaus' of Grants army.
A special correspondent of the Gazette.
felegraphiDg from Murfreesbore, says that
there must have been great battle at Jack
son when it was taken by Grant, for a letter
from there, of the 9th of May, says the
troops were then pouring in from all quarters
for defences. Forces had arrived there from
Mort Carolina, Charleston and Port Hudson i.
jackson was then being hastily fortified,
and the indications are the Union arms
have gained at Jackson a glorious and i'm
portant victory.
There was severe battle at Raymond,
Mississippi, Oh the 18th inst. The Rebel
Gen. Gregg fought Grants force two hours,
and then fell back toward Jackson, and
made another stand at Mississippi Springs
A dispatch from Jackson says firing that
day was heavy and continuous, and was
heard in jackson. The probabilities are
that the Union force achieved a victory at
Mississippi Springs, driving the Rebels back
to and through Jackson. We shall await
further Information with deep interest.
From Mobile we have intelligence that
BuckDer has been assigned to the command
of East Tennessee. A prisoner, captured in
Kentucky, says he has under his command
| fifty regiments of infantry-about 10000
men-and thirty-six pieces of artillery
1t is supposed by some that his advance has
appeared on the south bank of the Cum ber-
land. If this be so, new era mas common
ced. If he is beaten by Burnside, it will
end the war in Kentucky, il not, we fear
that the experience of last summer will be
repeated.
Another prisoner says lat this is not true,
but that ali Rebel troops in East Tennessee
are being push ed to Murfreesboro. and only
cavalry are left on the Cum berland to de-
ceive our forces.
We do not pretend to decide positively
which of these stories is reliable; but the
latter is the more probable of the two
There is no doubt but Kentucky will be
overrun with guerrillas for some time to
come-perhaps to cover real advance up
on Murfreesboro, and prevent Burnside
from re-eDforcing Rosecrans. For the sit
uation of the latter, however, no fears need
be entertained. ....
The Mobile Register of the 18th inst, is
informed that new British Consul is on his
way to Mobile. aud demands that his pres
euce be not tolerated. 1t denounces the
British Government in unmeasured terms,
declares that Lord Lyons is an Abolition
Minister of an Abolition Government to
the Abolition Lincoln Administration, and
charges the British Government with every
kind of hypocrisy and duplicity.
Dispatches from Charleston indicate that
the Rebels are fearful of a second attack
upon the place, at time when large por-.
ton of the garrison is absent in Mississippi
and Virginia.
