while guns of large calibre were sent from Richmond for the purpose of arming the batteries of the besiegers. The evacuation of the redoubt at Hill's Point, ordered by Peck on the 20th, which led to the withdrawal of the Federal vessels below the bar, did not induce the Southerners to resume the offensive. Satisfied with increasing their works, they left this role to the Federals, whose courage had just received an additional stimulus by the arrival of a few reinforcements. Thus, on the 22d, Cushing landed with his sailors on the western shore of the estuary, and led a reconnoissance as far as the village of Chuckatuck, about three miles in the interior; on his return he drove off a squad of cavalry that was trying to surround him. Two days later, at the other extremity of the line, near the Dismal Swamp, General Corcoran's brigade, supported by two other detachments, made a sortie along the Edenton and Somerton roads, which dislodged the Confederates from their advance posts an

ss cannonade. The Federal losses amounted to four or five hundred men. Grant, however, did not consider this trial sufficient, and determined to renew it on the 22d. But he had first to give some rest to his troops, rectify their positions, extend them southward in order to invest the place, open easy communications between thd before it. Steele's division formed the extreme right of the Federal army: the heights it occupied, bordered by the ravine where it had lost so many men on the 22d, presented slopes of too great inclination in front of the enemy's positions to admit of trenches being constructed in that locality. These slopes, however, graduampels him to shut himself up in Vicksburg. Haines' Bluff is occupied on the 18th of May, and the place invested on the 19th. A useless assault is attempted on the 22d, and the labors of the siege at once commence. In the mean time, Banks has marched from New Orleans upon Alexandria, and, embarking on Red River, has come to inv

Rodes arrived on the 22d, and Johnson on the 23d, at Greencastle, whilst Jenkins, preceding them, entered Chambersburg, and Early, bearing to the right, occupied Cavetown at the foot of Souachments to destroy the Northern Central Railroad and its branches to the largest practicable extent. We shall leave him now to return to Virginia, where, on the 22d, we left the Federal army and Stuart's cavalry, which is watching it, along the line of the Bull Run Mountains. On his arrival at Fairfax, Hooker, foreseeing that s, finding now a good opportunity for deserting, carried much valuable information to the enemy; so that Ewell's movement upon Hagerstown, which was executed on the 22d, was known to Hooker on the 23d, and on the 25th the latter was fully informed of the passage of the Potomac by Hill's corps at Shepherdstown. Two bridges had be

vice he can render to the Army of the Potomac, whose greater part is now marching to Manassas Gap. The Third corps continues the advance: leaving Upperville on the 22d, it arrives in the evening at Piedmont, where French leaves two divisions; then he follows the road with the third, that of Birney, commanded by Ward, and before miill be able to easily evade the blow which Meade desires to strike. The march of the Southern army southward is as regular as it is rapid. On the evening of the 22d, Hill's corps has arrived at Front Royal, where it bivouacs. Benning has joined Law on the slopes of Wapping Heights. The latter has immediately left that positiod on the 24th at Culpeper. The march of the Third corps, which was following him on the same route, was to be, it seemed, more dangerous, for on the evening of the 22d, Sedgewick, bivouacking at Barbee's Cross-roads, was only seven miles and a half from that road, and Flint Hill was much more exposed than Front Royal to the blows
