6 left. One telegram says that important dispatches have been captured by Capt. Dahlgren from Jeff. Davis and Cooper to Gen. Lee. They indicate anxiety for the position of Richmond. Both decline to send Lee the reinforcements from Beauregard he asked for. The bombardment of Vicksburg — explosion of a mine — terrific scene. The correspondent of the New York World, writing from before Vicksburg on the 26th ult., gives an account of the bombardment of the day before and the result of Grant's first experiment in mining Vicksburg. The letter says: The way in which the fort on McPherson's front was exploded is, as we learn from some of the participants, as follows: After the diggers had cut across the middle of the fort, which was a prominent fort, and by reason of our flanking it has been so pierced as to be almost of the parallelogram or nearly an oblong shape, they deposited in it a ton of powder, and then sealed up the cavity as tightly as possible.

Bolten Station, via Jackson, Miss, July 5. --Yesterday, about 12 o'clock, the Yankee cavalry crossed the Big Black at Birdsong's Ferry, and advanced into the interior, but were promptly met by Whitfield's brigade and driven back across the river. A courier; just in from Edwards's depot, says that Osterhaus's entire command crossed the Big Black near that place last night. If so, we will have warm work to-day. Grant is evidently feeling very uneasy in regard to events transpiring in his rear. There was very little firing at Vicksburg yesterday. Natchez, July 21--via Mobile 5th. --The crops at Osyka and Brookhaven were uninjured by the Yankees in their late raid. The Federal ram Pittsburg, and a gunboat, passed up this morning. The former was disabled, and working only one wheel. A commissary from the Trane Mississippi Department says that Vicksburg and Port Hudson are well previsioned. Gen. Damar, of Texas, says that Sm
