ire Engine Company had the bell in the cupola of their house rung in honor of the good news from Grant's army, and a small cannon was placed in front of their house, from which a number of salutes weo meet three whom I shall select, to arrange such terms as may best accomplish the result." Grant soon replied substantially in these words: "The appointment of Commissioners is unnecessarof Vicksburg has been conducted." At 11 o'clock the messengers returned. This afternoon Gen. Grant met Gen. Pemberton between the lines, and after an hour's consultation settled the surrender. hem to their lines; in view of the bravery they have displayed and the advantages of the plan, Gen. Grant will consent. The number of prisoners, wounded, &c., it is said, will be 18,000, of which a single man from Beauregard's command. Horses were needed, Johnston could not succeed against Grant without them, and Davis had fears for the fate of Vicksburg. Davis was sorry he could not forwa

y report of proceedings of the prize courts of the United States, especially with reference to the case of the Dolphin, has been received at the Foreign office. In answer to that question I have to state that what appears to be an authentic report of the judgment in the case of the Delphine was received at the Foreign office last evening. I should think it right, certainly, that all these cases should be watched. I find the doctrines relied upon in that judgment are these laid down by Sir W. Grant and Lord Stowell. Whether these doctrines are rightly applied to the circumstances of this particular case is another question, and one upon which I offer no opinion.

d. All this is very well in its place; but we maintain that the cause is in no such desperate condition as to require the aid of these powerful stimulants. We have lost Vicksburg, it is true, and the enemy are advancing upon Jackson. But it is to be hoped that General Johnston will now feel the necessity of action, although he never seems to have felt it while the enemy was besieging Vicksburg. He has, if all accounts be true, a very considerable force, and the telegraphic statement that Grant has 100,000 men we take to be a sheer exaggeration. From the best information we can gather, he has not now, and never has had, more than 60,000 men. We trust in God, then, that Gen. Johnston will take into consideration the great interests which are in his hands, and the utter loss of his military reputation that must inevitably follow a premature retreat from Jackson without offering some show of resistance to the enemy. To be sure it will be much more difficult to offer effectual resist
