| GLOOMY CONDITION or RICHMOND
From the Richmond Examiner, May 20.
Grand, gloomy. peculiar. and unrufiled as
the bosom of Jehovah. after simeon. the
city continued on yesterday to demonstrate It's
placidity under the difficulties inflicted OH it's
patience by the powers that he. The stores
remained shut up. Male and female institu-
lions oflearning whose tutors could bear mus
kets. remained closed. The families of poor
militiamen continued to mingle anathemas and
tears with their borrowed crusts. The markets
presented miserable array of "somethng to
eat;" and the extortioners, one of the service,
continued to swell their profits and bless the
wisdom of those In authority. Vicksburg,
bombarded In front and rear, cut off from all
the world, and languishing under her secret
trials, presented no such sepulchral picture US
Richmond does to day. The people have
grown sick of the wrongs inflicted upon them
within the brief space of a few weeks, and be
sure that they will treasure them up. re- gsttq

iTAYLORsvILLE, May 26.-No new engage
ment to-day, and very little skirmis6ing.
Grant has strong Publications In our front. and
is supposed to be moving his left In force
around still more to our right. There has been
heavy a ing to-day, extending back several
miles on the line of the Central Railroad; and
liz is conjectnred that the enemy are burning
| the track and depOts. It Is also reported that
| the enemy are destroying the track between
Milford and Chesterfield depots, on the Fred

Giant intends changing his base towards the

The enemy has been making feeble attacks
upon our lines to-day, probably with view of
