New Orleans and cooperate in the attack on Vicksburg. The rebels probably made use of these two or three days to prepare for the attack which they knew must follow. On the 26th, under convoy of Admiral Porter and his fleet of gunboats, Sherman advanced on transports up the Yazoo river, which empties into the Mississippi, about nine miles above the town. He debarked his troops on the 27th, on the south side of the river, near the mouth of the Chickasaw bayou. The map of operations in Yazoo pass and Steele's bayou and map of Campaign against Vicksburg illustrate the operations here described. The long line of hills on which Vicksburg stands, turns off from the Mississippi, just above the town, and runs parallel to the Yazoo for several miles. Between the latter river and the bluffs, lies a strip of country peculiarly susceptible of defence; covered with a dense and tangled overgrowth, cut up with swamps and intersected with streams, and at this time almost entirely under wat

That as much of Yazoo pass, Coldwater, and Tallahatchie rivers as can be gained and fortified be held, and the main army be transported thither by land and water; that the road back to Memphis be secured and reopened; and as soon as the waters subside, Grenada be attacked, and the swamp road across to Helena be patrolled by cavalry. 4. That the line of the Yallabusha be the base from which to operate against the points where the Mississippi Central crosses Big Black above Canton, and lastly where the Vicksburg an

One of these is by the way of Yazoo pass into Coldwater, the Tallahatchie, and Yazoo rivers. This is conducted by Lieutenant-Colonel WColonel Wilson, of the prospect of effecting a safe passage into the Yazoo river by the way of Yazoo pass. Admiral Porter will have this pass thoroughly explored by light-draught gunboats, upon which of getting small-class steamers, adapted to this service, has retarded movements by the way of Yazoo pass materially. To hem in the enemy on the Yazoo, Admiral Porter has gone into Deer creek by th to General Halleck.—(Cipher telegram.) before Vicksburg, March 24, 1863.
