CINCINNATI, June Our direct advices
from Eicksburg are to the 30th OF May.
Fer several days previous quiet prevailed all
along our lines, broken only by occasional
cannonading.

says: Spades are once more trumps. We are
erecting earthworks to protect our men, and
are mining to blow the face ont Of one or two
of the rebel forts that are unapproachable 9TH

The idea Of carrying the place by storm seems
TO be abandoned. The safer and surer plan OF
starving General Pemberton into submission
now fnds favor everywhere.
A deserter came into our lines this morning.
He represents that he was sent by General
Pemberton to communicate verbally with Gen
erals Johnston and Loring The former is
supposed to be between the Big Black River
and Jackson. The latter was near Port Glib
son.
He represents affairs in the city as growing

the Notifications night and day, and not al
lowed to leave an instant on any pretext
Generals Pemberton. Lee, Reynolds, Steven
son and others are in the city. Most Of the sick
left tae city before its investment. Those
who remain have excavated caves and remain
in them night and day.
Valuable merchandise in the city is also
stored in caves from fear of confagration. The
poor are generally in their houses. Over one
hundred women and children have been killed
by our bombardment The gunboats infiict no
injury on tbs city.
Gen. Pemberton believed his ratious would
hold out thirty days. but urged Johnston to
come 70 his relief within ten days ct the fur
tbest.
Cavalry horses have been turned loose and
driven towards our lines, owing 70 the lack OF
forage. There was ammunition enough to last
SIXTY days, with the single exception Of gun
caps These we're scarce. -

this morning:

Col. J. Fl. Taylor, Chief Of StaT and A. A. G. ::
AL is quiet along lines, and in front, on the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad.
This morning, at O'Clock. when the relief
passed. our pickets were attacked on Sawyer's
road by guerillas. Col. Gray at once started
with about 100 men in search of them, but
could find nothing OF them in the woods.
He then went on to scout the whole country,
and when he passed Frying Pan his rear
guard was attacked by about one hundred
rebels, who were hidden in a thick wood. Col
Gray turned his column and charged the rebels,
who fed in great haste through the woods
We followed them up to Adde'S; from there
returned via Drainsville.
Our entire loss is three wounded and some
horses wounded. We captured their sur.

A SCARE

by arrivals from Harper's Ferry we learn
that there is some apprehension amongst civil.
rams there OF another raid by the Rebels upon
the line OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
and possibly an attack upon Harper's Ferry;
and some families are leaving in consequence.
The military authorities there do not, as far as
we can ascertain, share in the apprehension,
and it is probable that the rumor is part and
parcel OF the one afloat tor some time concern
ing Lees talked-of invasion project.
