Heavy Movement against Vicksburg.

--Vicksburg, Miss., is again threatened. The gunboat fleet has not only returned 1, but is accompanied by a land force, supposed to be 12,000 strong. The Citizen says:

‘ It is supposed that this is Curtis's army, and that it is the important move which we have heard was about to be undertaken by that army. Whether the demonstration is to be made against Vicksburg is not known, and by some much doubted. Whatever the important move may be will probably he developed in a few days. It is also said that considerable skirmishing was heard towards Richmond yesterday. They have dragoons, light artillery and infantry, and are overrunning the country like a swarm of locusts. The landing of these troops no doubt accounts for our not having any intelligence from Milliken's Bend.
