The Daily Dispatch: May 30, 1863., [Electronic resource], Vicksburg. (search)
Vicksburg. The fate of this place is still suspended in the balance. Our own telegrams have been encouraging but they lacked the definiteness essential in such a case to bring entire relief to the public mind. The Yankee bulletins in the interim are unpleasantly detailed and specific — well calculated to unsettle conclusions and inferences based upon the cheering but vague accounts from our own side. The suspense, however, cannot long be continued. It will be interrupted no doubt by some decisive event in a few days — may be, hours. The hopes and opinions of those who know the locality are strongly in favor of the impregnability of Vicksburg. The general feeling, after what it has stood, is that, it will not be carried by Grant.

The Daily Dispatch: May 30, 1863., [Electronic resource], Banks's Movements. (search)
Banks's Movements. The telegraphic news of yesterday announced that Banks had crossed his-army at Bayon Sara. This is about ten miles above Port Hudson. His object is, therefore, to get behind that post and carry it by a land attack. This movement is designed to finish the work initiated by Grant, and clear the navigation of the Mississippi. A few days will tell the story. The Yankee army cannot at this time of the year long remain in the rear of either place, and they must both be taken hurriedly or not at all this year. The next news will probably be of an assault on Port Hudson.
