While Grant is marching his army up from Warrenton, on the road running parallel with the river and close to it, the fleet is to come up and shell our batteries, as well as cover the land forces. While this is going on, the fleet from above will come down and assault our upper batteries, and tse a weak point, which they hope to carry by storm.--That this is now the plan is evident from the appearance of the gunboats below.

By thus stretching out our lines — engaging every point at the same time — it is hoped that our troops may be diverted by the enormous extent of our line, and thus expose a weak point, which they hope to carry by storm.--That this is now the plan is evident from the appearance of the gunboats below.

From Vicksburg. On Tuesday, the 6th inst., our troops on the Big Black checked the enemy in attempting to cross to the Vicksburg side. Upon the first attempt proving a failure, the Yankees fell back, and made no more effort to reach the north side of the stream. Our troops are occupying a position at Red Bane, which is the extreme outpost of our lines. At this point no successful defence can be made, and the place is merely held for the present to watch the movements of the enemy.
