The rains had fiplace should fall, begin a new campaign against Vicksburg, from Grand Gulf or Warrenton, depending on supplies from below. The roads in Louisiana were, however, ents are in an eddy, the lower coming out under bluffs completely commanding it.

For a while, he lay just below Warrenton, having even passed the fortifications at Grand Gulf. Through Farragut, Gran whilst the army moves through by this new route.

The road to below Warrenton ought now to be completed. If so, rations can be got over by thaequire it. . . . Send the remaining iron-clads to the vicinity of Warrenton, to watch the movements of the enemy there, and prevent them fromill admit of it, it shall run from Young's point to a point below Warrenton. Meanwhile, all possible exertions should be made to keep the arw about complete across the point from Young's point to below the Warrenton batteries. This will shorten the route over which supplies have . I would request that you keep the Tuscumbia at the depot below Warrenton; keep one of the other gunboats at Grand Gulf, and with the other works at Vicksburg, should be held as a movable force for either Warrenton or Grand Gulf; and on the 29th he informed Johnston: The enemy is

partment of Missouri, arrived on the 11th of June, and was assigned a position on the extreme left of the besieging force, extending from the Hall's ferry to the Warrenton road. Lauman was then moved further to the right, extending to the left of Hovey; and, for the first time, the investment became complete, all possibility of Pehead of this sap was pushed to within a few feet of the rebel line. In Herron's front a strong line of trench was begun on the 11th of June, running along the Warrenton road. Little was done here until late in the siege, except driving in the enemy's pickets and erecting three batteries. The approach was directed against the erded safe and convenient shelter to the troops guarding the left, and allowed an advance, by a defiladed trench, upon the rebel work guarding the entrance of the Warrenton road. Saps were driven towards this work, and, notwithstanding the ground over which they were conducted was swept by the fire of a ten-inch columbiad and small

the bayous is falling very rapidly, out of all proportion to the fall in the river, so that it is exceedingly doubtful whether they can be made use of for the purposes of navigation. One inch fall in the river diminishes the supply of water to the bayous to a very great extent, while their capacity for carrying it away remains the same. Should the river fall sufficiently to draw off all the water on the point where you are encamped, our line will have to be by wagons across to below the Warrenton batteries. Whilst there I wish you would watch matters, and should the water fall sufficiently, make the necessary roads for this purpose. You need not move any portion of your corps more than is necessary for the protection of the road to Richmond until ordered. It may possibly happen that the enemy may so weaken his forces about Vicksburg and Haine's bluff, as to make the latter vulnerable, particularly with a fall of water to give an extended landing. I leave the management of aff

Warrenton, a few miles below, is capable of as strong defences as Vicksburg, and the enemy, seeing us atead their big guns over a great deal of country. They are now fortified from Haine's bluff to Warrenton. Taking the views I did, I immediately, on my arrival here, commenced or ordered other routk.—(Cipher telegram.) before Vicksburg, February 25, 1863. The Queen of the West is now at Warrenton, with the rebel flag flying. Distant firing was heard, lasting from four P. M. yesterday untiies of Vicksburg, whilst the army moves through by this new route. Once there, I will move to Warrenton or Grand Gulf, probably the latter. From either of these points there are good roads to Jacksy wounded. About five hundred shots were fired. I look upon this as a great success. At the Warrenton batteries there was heavy firing, but all the boats were sure to go past. What damage was don
