meet only the troops regularly assigned
for the defense of Grand Cuff.
On the morning of April 80, while
Sherman was demonstrating with the
army and navy before sUaynes's Bluff,
Gen. Grant was crossing the Mississippi
River below Grand Gulf. The next morn
ing Gen. Sherman received orders to with
draw from the Yazoo and join the main
army with all speed.
The embarkatiOn of Grants forces was
made at De Shoon's place. a little below
Grand Gulf, but in full view of the gar
rison.v The landing was made at Bruins
burg, on the south bank of Bayou Pierre,
without the slightest opposition. 1t was
only two miles to high ground over a
good road which led to Port Gibson, the
County seat, u miles inland. RationS
had been issued to the men, with orders
to fill their haverSacks to last five days.
Every soldier carried an extra quantity
of ammunition. Not q wagon was taken
across the river, there being no room on
the steamers for wagons. The necessity
for the prompt passage of the troops was
too urgent to brook delay. The artillery
and artillery horses were of course taken,
for the artillery was to play an import
ant part in the movement. Gen. McCler-
nand, with the Thirteenth Corps, had the
advance, followed by LOgan's Division of
the Seventeenth Corps, Mcpherson. the
corps commander, being present.
McClernand pushed forward promptly
with the intention of scizing Port Glib
son and saving the bridge over Bayou

and We're Used TO load the steamers at
Perkins IS plantation and to discharge
them al Grand Gulf Several hundred
negro men we're thus employed, and they
did the work jeyfuily.
Before Gen. Grant left Grand Gulf 10
rejoin the army he gave full instructions
in regard to military supplies. He re-
CURED that large quantities of ammuni-
ton should he sent forward, both for in
fantry and artillery.
Everything had TO be hauled in wagons
from Milliken's Bend to Perkfns's planta-
ton, and thence taken by steamers
to Grand Gulf. Gen. j. G. Sullivan, com
manding at hhIilliken's Bend, kept wagon
trains moving day and night, while |
kept the steamers passing between Fer
kins's plantation and Grand Gulf day
and night For three days and nights L
worked necessarily. without sleep, to make
sure that nothing should lag. AS rapidly
as steamers were unloaded wagon trains
Were loaded and at once sent to the front.
There was no time for aking or filling
requisiti0nS; no receipts were asked or
given for ordnance or commissary stores.
These articles were sent forward to the
army, where they were properly disposed
of on arrival.
While every effort was being made to
supply the army, the army itself was not
idle. Gen. Grant ordered Gen. Hurlbut,
at Memphis, TO send four regiments to
Milliken's Bend to relieve Gen. Blair s
Division, and to send Gen. Lauman's-Di
vision to join the army in the field. Nc
Clernand and Mcpherson were directed
to make Il heavy demonstration with the
view of creating the impression with Gen.
Pemberton that the Union army would
cross the Big Black and attack Vicks-
burg from the south.

reads forlsed.
LOGAN STRIKES THE REBEL FLANK.
The right wing of the Union forces
pushed its way forward steadily, although
it met with earnest resistance. but Gen.
0Sterhaus found his task more difficult.
He was repulsed with considerable loss,
but held the field perSistentiy. These
movements began at an early hour IN the
morning. and the fighting had continued
some four or five hours, when Gen Lo-
gan with two brigades of his division
worked his way to the front. Gen. Grant
gave orders for the movement OF these
troops to Gen. Mcpherson. Immediately
Gen. John L. Smith with his brigade
moved to the support of Osterhaus, while
Gen. Logan with his other brigade moved
across the country through the woods and
without a road until he gained a ridge
upon the enemy's right flank. From this
position he made u sudden and effective
attack upon the Confederate forces while,
at the same time, 0sterhauS and Smith
attacked ia front. Gen. BowenS right
wing could not stand this pressure; 1t
yielded, was pursued, and finally left the
field in full retreat. The left wing of the
rebel army held its own for a time, but
its position now became desperate, and
it, too, gave up about sund0wn and re-
treated toward Port Gibson.
The Union forces pursued Bowcn's re-
treating army about three miles when,
night coming on, Gen. Grant called
halt about two miles from Port Gibson.
The Confcderates continued their retreat
during the night, rccrossed Bayou Pierre,
and destroyed the bridge.
Gen. PcmbertOn saw his error rs to
Grants real intention too late. He, in
fact, dispatched Gen. Loring with rein
forccments for Gen. Bowen, but they did
not reach the battlefield of Port Gibson.
Gen. Grants movements had been too
sudden and energetic to give time for
troops to march from Vicksburg to join
in the first battle.

New York, June 5.-To-day's market
proved variable, it was strong in spots
reactionary in most groups. London
showed little enthusiasm, the Continen-
tai buying was not so fierce, at least
not so much so as the news agencies
reported yesterday.
| In the meantime while public buying
of the market could easily be dis
cerned as for account of some large
representative interests, the selling for
the same account was carefully hidden
to the public in general. General con-
ditions with the exception of less favor
able crop outlook have not changed
much and yet any close observer of the
market would find it difficult to guage
the market or give advice as to it's i'm
mediate course.

exchange is a trifle firmer and higher
with actual rates ASS IA and 4SS is to

With ruling low rates of private dis
counts a lowering of Bank of England
rate is looked for tomorrow Rumors
of mergers of railways and industrial
companies were again coursing in
abundance, but the public are getting
more used to them without becoming
excited. Manipuations was the prin-
cipal feature in the market with the
iations in price amounting to 1 per
cent. between sales at times.
Wheat was easier although crop re-
ports are not so good either from
abroad or at home. Price seems a fair
one consequently it is difficult for the
public to become enthusiastic.
Cotton higher. Europe buying and
they need all we can spart. Crop ac-

BERKELEY is NOT COMING
Decision Dtsappointmentto New IIa-
ven-Announcement Made Mt Annual
Meeting of the Alumni Yesterday
Schools 45th Anniversary Exercises.

There will be general regret in this
terday that the project for the removal
of the Berkeley Divinity school from
Middletown to this city has been aban-
doned. Great interest in the matter
has been felt in New Haven ever since
the suggestion was made, and the de-
ctsion of the alumni at yesterdays an
nual meeting is a. keen disappointment
locally, although, of course, there is
corresponding rejoicing at Middetown.
The forty-fifth anniversary of the
Berkeley Divinity school was held yes
terday at Middletown. On Tuesday
evening at the alumni service the SER
mon was preached by Rev. c. G. Bris-
toll, of Hartford. The ordination SER
mon yesterday was preached by Rev.
DR.. F'iske of Providence. Nine men
were ordained deacons by Bishop Brew

]. HI. Peckham, c. j. IRELAND, e. S.
Travers and Cranston Brenton. Of this
number Mr.. Jackson has been for some
time at work at East Haven.
At the meeting of the alumni it was
announced that the proposition to re-
move the Berkeley Divinity school to
New Haven had been withdrawn, and
that no proposition of the kind was
now before the trustees. Rev. DR.. Hart
announced that he had declined the call
to professorship in the General The
illogical seminary in New York. The
fund of $4,000 for the endowment Of
DR.. Harris professorship has now been
completed, and $1,000 has been pledged
by the alumni, and in large part paid,
towards the $4,000 for the support Of
the library.
During the year requests Of $4,000
from O. B. Arnold, of Meriden, $4,000
from Mrs. Church, of Canaan, $1,000
from Rev. George HI. Wilson and $3.50
from Rev. E. C. Gardiner have been re-
ceived. Rev. Mr.. Wilson, of Southing-
ton, also left his library to the school.
Large additions have been made to the
library, which now numbers $4,000
bound volumes.
Bishop Brewster was elected presi-
dent of the Alumni association, Rev.
Drs. Hart and Lines vice presidents,
Rev. Mr.. Bristol treasurer and Profess
sor Colladay secretary. Bishop Davies,
of Michigan, was elected alumni
preacher for next year and Rev. M *.
Bailey substitute.
A reception followed the services yes
terday in the house of DR. Hart. Many
improvements in the seminary build
ings were announced. The statement
was also made that the funds of the
school were increased by $4,000 from
the will and estate of Bishop Williams
The invested funds of the school now
rise above 100000, and funds and prop
erty will amount to nearly 100000.
