During last night the gunboats and
mortars in front of Vicksburg kept up
a constant fire, and several buildings were
burned by exploding shells
At eight o'clock this morning cannon
aiding commenced along our entire line,
from every hill fronting the enemy's
works Rebel guns were dismonnted,
embrasures torn up, parapets and caissons
destroyed. The rebels are powerless to
reply, as our skirmishers were close to
their works, and with unerring aim pick
ing off the rebel officers.
This cannonadc continued two hours,
when Steele S, Carr's and Osterhaus Di-
visions charged through murderous
cross and enfIading fire close up to the
rebel works, where an impossible ditch,
filled with sharp stakes, was encountered.
Our men planted their flag directly in
front of the Fort, and then crouched
down behind an embankment out of range
Of the rebels fire. The rebels inside
the Fort could not show themselves above
the parapet without meeting death from
our sharpshpoters, and only could effect
anything by cutting off fuzes to Shells,
lighting and rolling them out over the
outer slope Of the embankment
subsequently our boys with picks and
shoyels dug breach into one fort, and
this was thus taken. One fort was gal
lantly taken by storm by Cars Division.
During three days we lost five officers
killed, includingthrec Colonies and fifty
wounded. ~

1000 men. 5.i.
