THE SITUATION AT vICKsBURG.
The Republican says: We speak authoritvely
when we say there is no ground for the fear OK
pressed in some Of the morning papers that the
Rebel Gen. Johnston is likely to attack Gen. Grants
rear Gen. Grant telegraphs that be has no fear Of
Johnston whatever. The latter IL at Yazoo City
with small force, but can approach no nearer to
vicksburg than the former is pleased TO permit.
WHAT THE REBELS EXPECTED TO DO WITH
THE ATLANTA.
II is stated in private letter received here from
an officer Of the Weehawken that the Atlanta cost
one million Of dollars supplied for long cruise,
of the of which in raising the blockade al
along the coast, including the recspture of Port
ROYAL, Norfolk and Portsmouth, and the destruction
Of the Washington Navy Yard, the most extrava-
CANT aniicpstons had been entertained by the Rebels.
The Atlanta bore the new Rebel flag which, under
the law of the Rebel Congress, was not to be die
PLAYED till the first Of July. The Atlanta had the
honor 10 be the first Rebel vessel to strike tho new
banner of treason TO the Stars and Stripes. The
writer adds: Ii we stronger than the Atlanta
think it likely we were more humane also, for we
were ss kind 70 her officers as 10 brothers, One OF
the sad to the captain of the OleRnder tug, that
brought the captured prisoners to Port Royal You
use us better than we should have used you. We
should have put all you officers in double irons"
MOVEMENTS OF ADMIRAL DAHLGREN-THE
FIFTEEN-INCH GUNS.
Admiral Dahlgren went TO New.York in the IL
o'clock train to-day route, rs is believed here,
for the command of which Admiral Du Pont has been
relieved. 1t is proper that the credit Of adopting
the l5-inch guns, part Of the armament of our
iron-clsds should be given, now that the recent,
contest with the Atlanta has proved their efficiency
70 the man who assumed the responsibility of their
manufacture al time when they were supposed 10
be failures. notwithstanding Fox, in letter
dated May %, after remarking that he cannot say
what considerations Influenced the Secretary of the
Navy in his determination, adds: "ReaI-Admiral
DAhlgren did not advise it the l5-inch gum.
Whatever responsibility attaches to those who
Grenuousi, urged its manufacture belongs 70 me-
and not TO TIE Admiral"
