SIOUX CITY, iowa, Aug. 1S.-Relia-
bic adyices regarding the condition of
the crop i'll northern Iowa and southern
Dakota give different picture from
that which is drawn by the reports
whicfsare current in the east. In many
OF the more important crops
there is gloomy outlook in
both regions named. Wheat and
all grains i'll northwestern Iowa will
yield less than third of an average
crop, and in many counties rust has Sc
verely attacked wheat and oats, and
probably not more than One-half the
fields will be cut and the grain threshed
out. Many of the farmers will cut oats
only for rough feed for stock. The
fields that will be harvested will not
produce more than a fraction of a fair
crop. Even the fields of grain which
otherwise promised fairly good are
trampled by the storms of the last few
days so that there must be in any
event great loss in the yield. This is
the real situation and it extends to 4
greater or lesser extent up to the
Minnesota state line, OF through three
Or four tiers of counties. Passing to
southern part of Dakota, there are con-
siderable sections in which the same
situation exists. 1t is even worse in
OAAOoO SOOSAOAio HI ANO1Jhn OoOCAh
Iowa, because more wheat and grain
are raised III the former than in the
latter. Many Dakota farmers, too.
are poor, and have high hopes of an
abundant crop. The corn crop, which
is the least damaged of any, is slightly
damaged in some sections in both
Southern Dakota and Northwestern
Iowa. Hail and wind storms, which
have been playing havoc in the grain
fields, have also blown down and bro
ken the corn, Corn was not in good
shape to resist the wind, be ause the
late spring was followed by hot weather
and frequent light showers. These
caused the roots to spread near to
the surface instead of striking
deep, as usual, so that it did
/ not require heavy wind to PROSTATE
the corn. In the track of some of the
storms of the last week great fields
have been leveled to the ground. Ex-
tremely cold weather has ensued and
continues and corn is maturing
| slowly, the crop was two weeks late to
begin with. All these things enhance
| the peril from frost. The last week
therefore, has put a new and less agree
able fall on the crop outlook i'll this
section. .ssefOre that time it was ex,
ceedingly blight. Even now it is moi
to be understood that disaster is i'm
pending, but that the reports which
were sent out week ago are to bC
taken with many serious deductions

At last Grant was on the right track. His
base was at Grand Gulf. McPherson's corps
was at Hankinson's Ferry, on the Big Black,
while McClernand's was at Willow Spring, q
few miles east of Grand Gulf. The army
waited there three days for Sherman, who
with his corps had been sent for from above
Pemberton called urgently now for re-en-
forcements for Vicksburg. Walkers brigade,
with that Of Gist, was sent him from South
Carolina
Bragg also sent 5000 cavalry from Tennes-
zee. All told, in the early part of May,
Pemberton had at Vicksburg and jackson
5000 men, Grant not many more.
The railway crossed the Big Black be-
tween Vicksburg and jackson Part of the
Confederate army was at jackson, part at
Vicksburg. Grants plan Of campaign was
to work carefully along the east bank Of Big
Black river till he neached the railway,
then, taking sudden possession of Edwards
Station, just east of the Big Black, he would
be between the two parts of the Confederate
army. Then he would be able to ''beD tho
enemy in detail"
Gen. Sherman reached the Mississippi, OPP
posite Grand Gulf, May 2. The grand adj
vance was made the same day. Mcpherson
led the right, veering of toward Jackson
McClernand was on the left, nearer the Big
Black, while Sherman closely followed
McClernand.

BIG BLACK RNER. NAY u.

Stevenson's and Bowenis Confederate bri-
gades struggled to the Big Black river.
Here was a defense called in military par
lance a bridge head. Behind that Pember-
ton made stand with his two divisions and
with the brigades that had been left to guard
the bridge. Loring's division had retreated
southwark after the battle of Champions
Hill and never joined Pemberton again.
At this bridge in the forenoon of May II,
1868, Grants army once more attacked Penn
berton's. Pemberton, himself, was at BovinA
Station, between Big Black and Vicksburg.
The Confederates made brief resistance
on the east side of Big Black. Then they saw
that they were about to be cut on from their
retreat across that river, and made one dead
rush for the bridges, abandoning their ar
tillery and even throwing away their guns.
Two-thirds of them escaped by the bridges
over Big Black. The rest, ESQ, were cap
tured. The Confederates who escaped burned
the bridges, and the Union army had to re-
build them. This gave the Confederates time
to escape to Vicksburg, where PembertOn
already was.
Haines Bluff, the right flank of tbs de-
lenses of Vicksburg, was abandoned by the
Confederates, and Pemberton set himself to
work with might and main terrifying the
city anew.

Eight AT RAYMOND.

Crane ordered McPherson to move rapidly
to Raymond, fifteen miles southwest of Jack
son, with which it was connected by branch
railroad line, and capture the Confederate
supplies stored there At IL O. m. of May 12,
McPherson's corps, Gen. John A. Logan in
the advance, came within two miles of Ray
mond and found Gregg's Confederate brigade,
recently at Port Hudson, posted to meet
them.
The fight that followed lasted nearly three
hours, but Crocker's division having come to
the support Of Logan, Gregg finally retreated
toward jackson.
Logan's loss was 400, Gregg's 500. Logan
pursued for some distance, but night came
on and he went into camp, with Raymond in
his rear.
Sherman and McClernAnd too had been
skirmishing with the Confederates all day
May II, as they advanced along the Big
Black toward Edwards Station, and Grant
determined to make sure Of jackson before
attacking Edwards Station
Pemberton had divided his available force
into four detachments, under Gems. Bowen,
Lortng, Stevenson and w. n. T. Walker re-
Bpectively. Walker was at jackson, the
others were stationed along the road cross
ings and river ferries.
Gen. Joe Johnston in Tennessee had tele-
Eraphed Pemberton at Vicksburg:
II Grant crosses unite all your forces to beat
him
But Pemberton thought he understood the
situation better than Johnston and did not
