orces of the enemy on the Yazoo, every effort possible to be made with our resources was resorted to. As was foretold, in a few days the Yankee fleet of some thirty-four gunboats and rams and about eighty transports appeared near the mouth of the Yazoo, in sight of the "City of the Hills." The following day, at 1 o'clock, the gunboats of the enemy had cautiously felt their way to the raft at Snyder's Bluff, about ten miles from the month of the Yazoo. There they found a battery, which opened fYazoo, at the plantations of Mrs Lase, Capt. Johnson, and Col. Blake.--These forces proceeded through the to the border of the swamp from the point at Snyder's to a distance of two or three miles below Vicksburg, varying in distance from the Yazoo river from two to five miles, as the meandering of the stream may direct its course.

above Vicksburg; and on Monday last it was evident they had thrown a large force near the centre, with a view of breaking it and coming in the rear of Vicksburg. When Gen. Lee discovered their supposed intention, be ordered the light artillery to be in readiness, and withdrew the infantry from the advance line of rifle pits to others at the foot of the bluffs.

Our brave troops were admonished to hold their fire until the enemy was in short musket range, but their ardor was such, remembering the insults and sufferings endured in their prisons, that patience seemed no longer a virtue, and when within 175 yards the 3d and 30th Tennessee directed a deadly fire on the foe. The artillery then shared in the engagement on both sides. The enemy advanced gallantly to within fifty yards of

enemy advanced gallantly to within fifty yards of our rifle pits, when the well directed fire of our artillery became so rapid, in connection with our infantry, that the lines were broken and the enemy began a precipitate retreat for the woods. The pits could contain our infantry no longer, and they rushed upon the enemy, killing and capturing as they advanced, until they were lost in the woods, where the fight ended, our men bringing out prisoners even there. Thus closed the fight at Chickasaw Bayou, at Smith's Bluff, on Monday last, the enemy bring completely routed, many prisoners captured, and some 1,200 killed, wounded and missing. An informal flag of truce was sent by the enemy on Monday evening, and our sharpshooters fired upon the troops, who were ostensibly upon the field to take off the dead and wounded, but who undertook first to obey an order to secure their artillery and small arms previous to caring for their own sufferers. It was while they were thus engaged in
