en's Bend, &c, &c. Jackson, Miss, June 18. --The first time in four days heavy firing was heard at Vicksburg this morning. Last accounts represent that Grant is busy fortifying and cutting down trees beyond the Big Black to impede Johnston's movements. They also represent that great distress prevails-among citizens inside of the enemy's lines. The Yankees have robbed them of all their provisions, and numbers are in a starving condition. Osyka, June 16.--via Mobile 19. --Offhave arrived from Vicksburg within the past few days. Their reports are stereotyped. Beyond the fact that Grant's sappers and miners are at work to blow up our works, there is nothing new. A courier from Port Hudson, with dispatches to Gen. Johnston, arrived last night. He reports that the garrison is in fine condition and spirits. Banks's force is estimated at 20,000. It is also reported that he has abandoned the idea of storming the place, and gone to ditching.

Firing is continued upon Vicksburg from all sides. There are no further demonstrations The best information credits General Loring at Jackson, with 5,000 rebels; Gen. Walker at Yazoo City, with 5,000; and Gen. Johnston at Canton, with 15,000. These will be massed to attack Gen. Grant' rear; but he holds all the fords on the Black river, which must be crossed by Gens. Johnston and Loring. Rebel cavalry are continually scouting outside of Gen. Grant's lines. Much sickness is said to prevail in Vicksburg, and the citizens desire its capitulation, which Gen. Pemberton abso committed, may be illustrated by a few notable examples. General John C. Freckinridge, General Robert R. Lee, General Joseph E. Johnston, General John B Magruder, General William B. Preston, General R. Buckner, and Commanders Franklin , now occupy

e he furnishes is published in the Mobile Register, and the first important fact we learn is that Gen. Smith is fully posted as to the situation as Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and is directing the forces of his department with a view to second Gen. Johnston on this side the river in the work of raising the siege of those two cities. Gen. Smith's headquarters were at Shreveport, from which point he has easy water communication with the Mississippi, to a point near Vicksburg, by the Red, Black anve abundant supplies. News has been received from Vicksburg up to Saturday night. Grant's army is undoubtedly suffering for want of water, and suffering more from being obliged to drink the water of the Big Black, which is very unwholesome. Gen. Johnston is in no hurry to move, for this, among other reasons: that he does not like to interfere with the action of the waters. He is in regular communication with the West of the Mississippi, and all things are working to a common end — the starva
