Milliken's Bend completely commands the channel hout the free use of the Mississippi. In the meantime Smith, having possession of Milliken's Bend has a free passage to Johnston whenever the latter may call for his assistance, and can pass over Price, who is at the head of 17,000 men. We haven end is put to all recruiting from above. The waters are rapidly falling, and in a week or two will be at the lowest. Johnston has a powerful army, and his capacity for increasing it is greatly enlarged by the conquest of Kirby Smith.
