Latest from Vicksburg!
Rebels I say the City has
--.,, Fallen !
Grant says he can take it
by a Weeks Seige!

Our readers have probably already learn
ed OF the capture of the surrounding de-
lenses Of Vicksburg by Gen. Grant, with
many prisoners and pieces of artillery.
We will give therefore but last evenings
dispatches {:
WARRINGTON, May rs.
Notwithstanding various rumors aAoat
all the intelligence that is in the possess
sion of the Government, warrants the kbe-
lief that Vicksburg has already capitula-
ted.
The Times Washington special says a
dispatch from Gen. Grant states that he is
perfectly confident of taking Vicksburg,
but it must be done by investment and
approach, and week be consumed in it..
Later advices from Vicksburg are to
Friday, when the Federals were carving
on q vigorous bombardment by land and
water. :s=4tI
A special dispatch from Murfreesboro
says rebel prisoners report that on Sunday
last courier dashed up with dispatch
from Col. Breckenridge to Gen. Wheeler
at McMinnvil]e saying that :Vicksburg
had fallen but Pemberton had escaped
with most Of his army but lost his artil-
lery.
WASHINGTON, May ~.
The city is still greatly excited over the
news from Vicksburg. There seems to
be no particular doubt, in any quarter that
Grant will succeed in capturing Vicksburg
and most of the rebel army there.
Hooker was in town to-day. He states
that the rebels on the Rappahanock ad-
init a disaster at Vicksburg.

FROM SACK CENTRE.
SAuK CENTRE, May 22d, 1863

From Our Regular Correspondent
DEAR LocAL.-The Withdrawal of the
cavalry force from this garrison is looked
upon with considerable alarm by the set
tiers in this region, and the feeling of se-
curity wanes in proportion as the military
are removed. The daily scouting, which
has been kept up all the spring, for from
twenty to thirty miles in every direction,
has ceased of course, since the cavalry left,
and large extent Of country is now left
open to the incurslon of the villianous red
skins, if they choose to take the advau-
tage. Capt. Petit scads out scouts on
foot every day, but the area which they
are able to examine is necessarily small.
Add to this, that his company has to sup
ply all the escort duty from here to Alex
andria, and we can see that there is but
small force to be relied upon here, in case
of an emergency. Enough remain, no
doubt, to defend this post, but there are
none 70 spare for the defense of citizens
which [ consider the most important du-
ty expected of soldiers. There are no
horses here to mount an escort, and on
Wednesday the stage left with an escort
snside-about as much service as a fifth
wheel to the coach :
A large amount of "plunder" has pass
ed through this place on its way to Red
River, as l understand, to fit out compa-
ny of cavalry, raised in the Pembina re-
gion by Capt. Donaldson. There must
have been an unusual degree of secrecy
observed in the recruiting for this compa-
ny, for no person who has passed through
here from Pembina, and there has been
quite number through, seems to know
anything about it. 1t was entire news to
Bishop Tasche, who was here on his way
from Pembina few weeks ago, and who
is supposed to know everything going on
there. Half breeds, who came down with
the train week since, were equally igno-
rant. Such movement could hardly have
been carried on in Stearns County with so
much secrecy!
Capt. Taylor's company left for Fort
Ridgley on Wednesday morning, goth
inst. There was an ardent desire, on the
part of the boys, to go by the way Of St.
Cloud. Some very unexpected facts in
the geography of the country between
here and Fort Ridgley, were developed.
J. G. Wilson headed deputation of the
St: Cloud boys to the Captain, with plat
Of the road, by which it appeared that St.
Cloud is on the direct line between Sank
Centre and the Fort, only q leetle nearer.
Gus: Morgan pointed out Monticello on
the same line. Besides the short cut thus
proposed, there were other innumerable
advantages in going that way. But Capt.
Taylor, as usual, a martyr to orders, start
ed south across the prairies via Paynes-
vile, and WILDE at the Fort on the 24th.
The departure Of the Cavalry was very
much regretted by the officers and men
whom they left behind-all have been on
the most social and friendly terms and
what they regretted still more was, that
they had not been ordered to go with them.
Yours truly. p.
