Jackson, Miss., July 24.--Lieut-Col. Ferguson, of Starke's cavalry, with two companies and a field battery, has captured and destroyed a Federal mail steamer at Skipwith's Landing, eighty miles above Vicksburgh. Col. Ferguson succeeded in obtaining possession of the mail-bag from the ship Richmond, en route for Washington. The contents are highly interesting. Yankee letters admit the impossibility of capturing Vicksburgh without an immense land force, and admit that the Arkansas whipped te Vicksburgh. Col. Ferguson succeeded in obtaining possession of the mail-bag from the ship Richmond, en route for Washington. The contents are highly interesting. Yankee letters admit the impossibility of capturing Vicksburgh without an immense land force, and admit that the Arkansas whipped them. They evince great terror of the Arkansas. Her appearance round the bend this morning was the signal for a general stampede. The bombarding continued slowly to-day.--Richmond Examiner, July 26.

coffee made of rye. What think you of Jeff Davis now-- Now wasn't he a fool To stuff his ears with Cotton, boys, And trust to Johnny Bull? You thought the French would help you, But that, too, was “no go;” “Nap” has other fish to fry, Way down in Mexico. Oh! when we meet again, my boys, There'll be a pretty muss; Don't cry, you've not seen the last Of our green fag and us. The Yankee newspapers captured are not of very late date, and it would be useless, therefore, to make extracts from them. They are redolent with magnificent Federal victories, in every one of which there are accounts of splendid bayonet-charges upon the rebels. The Boston Herald of June second announces the capture of Vicksburgh and Little Rock, and the flight of the Governor of Arkansas into Mississippi. A graphic picture in Frank Leslie's represents Beauregard watering his horse in hell. It was engraved after one of the numerous Federal reports of the death of our hero.--Charleston Courier, Ju

Incidents of Vicksburgh, Miss. Johnson's plantation, near Vicksburgh, January 2, 1863. I have given you an account of the action whVicksburgh, January 2, 1863. I have given you an account of the action which occurred on the twenty-ninth day of December, and of its results. But two divisions — those of Morgan's and Steele's — were generally ande advantage to us. From certain points on the new line thus made, Vicksburgh could be seen. The movements of the rebel troops in the city, and some portions of Vicksburgh, were clearly and fairly in view. It was tempting to look straight in upon the beleaguered city, and still knowversation was opened by our pickets, by asking: How far it was to Vicksburgh? Rebel Picket--So far that you'll never git thar. Federal--hat Memphis had been retaken, and that the Yankees would not take Vicksburgh till hell froze over. A thousand questions were asked, and all a be able to return to his command in a few days. We are not in Vicksburgh yet. A change has been made in the programme. Instead of stormin

42. bombardment of Vicksburgh. Dedicated with Respect and Admiration to Major-General Earl Van Dorn. For sixty days and upwards A storm of shell and shot Rained round as in a flaming shower, But still we faltered not! “If the noble city perish,” Our grand young leader said, “Let the only walls the foe shall scale Be ramparts of the dead!” For sixty days and upwards The eye of heaven waxed dim, And even throughout God's holy morn, O'er Christian's prayer and hymn, Arose a hissing tumult, As if the fiends of air Strove to engulf the voice of faith In the shrieks of their despair. There was wailing in the houses, There was trembling on the marts, While the tempest raged and thundered, 'Mid the silent thrill of hearts; But the Lord, our shield, was with us, And ere a month had sped, Our very women walked the streets With scarce one throb of dread. And the little children gamboled-- Their faces purely raised, Just for a wondering moment, As the huge bombs whirled and blazed I Th

Among the peculiarities of the secession rebellion is the fact that on the thirty-first of December, 1862, Lieutenant-Col. Garesche was killed at Murfreesboro, and on the twenty-ninth of December, 1862, Major Garesche was killed at Vicksburgh. Thus at different points, nearly a thousand miles apart, the two brothers have lost their lives within two days of each other, both having fallen in support of the Union.

Among the novelties which this extraordinary war has produced are the instances which have repeatedly occurred of late of cavalry capturing gunboats. A friend suggests that our horses should be fitted out with sails and rudders, in order to facilitate their amphibious operations. The gunboats, it must be admitted, have fallen amazingly from their original prestige. At one time they had nearly scared the South from its propriety; but they are now manifest humbugs, which even a few troopers can explode. The gallant cities of Vicksburgh and Richmond deserve the credit of having first shorn the gunboats of their terrors. From the hour when Drury's Bluff demolished their iron-clads, they have been gradually sinking to their proper level.--Richmond Dispatch, Jan. 27.
