The situation. We have lost Vicksburg. That no longer admits of a doubt. We have lost Vicksburg, and Grant is rapidly advancing upon Johnston and Jackson, with forces which are represented as irresistibly superior. The latter General will now be compelled to retreat, we presume and as he has heretofore been much celebrated for the masterly character of his retrograde movements, we are induced to hope that he will not, on this occasion, fall below his reputation. The fall of Vicksburg is a heavy blow but it is by no means of such a character as ought to render us despondent. In the eat States of Mississippi and Alabama, now that the people are thoroughly awake to their situation, may be found resources sufficient to cover all that we have lost by the fall of Vicksburg. The Yankees do not open the navigation of the river by their success, and that is the great object, they say for which they have been fighting.

The navigation of the Mississippi In the year 1863, Richard Lander, the celebrated African traveller, who had three years before solved the mystery of ages by successfully exploring the course of the Niger, and ing triumphantly into the Atlantic by one of the months, undertook a commercial voyage to the river, under the auspices of a Liverpool firm. Anticipating hostility from some of the savage tribes that inhabit the banks of that river, he had provided himself with an iron steamboat, and in this he prosecuted the enterprise. He soon found his anticipations of savage hostility realized. The driven attacked his boat from the shore with bows and arrows and such old condemned tower muskets as they had been able to collect in their with the English, killed a great part of his crow, wounded himself, and ly broke up the expedition. The moral of this tale is, that trade cannot be carried on upon a long narrow river, inhabited on both shores by a hostile population, even th

But what are Semmes and Malfit, with a couple of vessels navigating the wide Atlantic, to a population of several millions inhabiting both sides of a narrow river and always ready to pounce upon every freight boat as it passes along. What Yankee company will insure a cargo to run the gauntlet from Allen to New Orleans, through the dense forests that line some parts of the course, and the thousands of wood yards that are strewed all along the banks, where whole regiments of sharpshooters or light artillerists may be waiting to sink the vessel, or seize it as a prized if any be found bold enough to undertake, what will be the premium!. Cheapness of transportation is another element of commerce. How can it exist where transportation is to be made in iron clads, and at a premium of 100 per cen
