sent in 400 wagon loads of corn, which is an invaluable help at this time. The movements of Grant show his consciousness in the strength of numbers, and his quick movements misled those high in authority, while it is believed he has received orders to take Vicksburg if he has to sacrifice his entire army. Banks is reported to have crossed with his main army at Bayon Sara, and is said to be moving up to Grand Gulf. If so, he is expected to operate against Warrenton, and on the New Orleans road. Banks and his forces are considered of but little consequence. Gov. Pettus and Gen. Johnston have issued a joint appeal to the people of Mississippi to volunteer, as ninety days troops, as cavalry or infantry. There is no time for procrastination; they have but one choice — fight, or give up to the Yankee. No half-way measures will do; it is "neck or nothing." "I don't think the Yankees will ever come here," is a foolish remark or opinion from anybody west of the Bigbee river.

s to consider the question, but invited Grant to open upon him as soon as he pleased. After the terrible slaughter on Friday, Gen. Grant issued an order for new ladders to be made and the assault to be renewed on Saturday, at 2 o'clock, but the men refused to be led again to the "slaughter pen." The 20th Ohio sent up a petition to Gen. McClernand, and positively refused to participate again in the murderous work. Mr. Saunders heard frequent conversations between the Federals and Col. Womack, chief of Grant's staff, expressed the opinion that Vicksburg would not be taken for six months, if ever. They imagine, now, that our force in Vicksburg is from 75,000 to 100,000 men. The entire Federal loss around the entrenchment at Vicksburg is estimated by them at from 35,000 to 40,000. General Grant sent in to Pemberton to know why he fired railroad spikes and poisoned balls at them? The only answer Gen. P made to this cession was that the whole story was a d — d lie. The Fede

as lulled, and the enemy has fallen back and commenced fortifying among the bills in parallel lines with those of Pemberton. His assaults on the Vicksburg works have been terribly disastrous. More of the enemy have been slaughtered before the Vicksburg trenches than in any other battle of the war, being from 20,000 to 30,000. This is a great number of men to be put hors du combat in a single battle; for in this estimate I do not mean to include the enemy's losses at Grand Gulf. Raymond, Jackson, Baker's Creek, or Big Black; nor do I make the statement without the most careful inquiry. Suffice it that my information is correct. I telegraphed you that Vicksburg was closely besieged. At the time I did so the enemy had command (and yet have) of the Mississippi river in his front, above and below the city, of the Yazoo river to Snyder's Bluff, where his right wing rested; of the Big Black river to the Southern Railroad bridge, where his left wing rested; his northern base of ope

a one eyed man, and as he shoots a Belgian rifle, whenever the peculiar whistle of that weapon is heard the Yankees call out, "Look out, boys, there's old one eye!" They say he can kill at one thousand yards, and never misses. One day two Yankee Captains were looking from behind a cotton bale, and old One Eye killed them both at one shot. Mr. Saunders also saw one other Captain with an amputated leg, which he owed to the same unknown man. Col. Hundley knows the man, says his name is Elliott, and that he belongs to the 30th Alabama. He is known in Alabama as the best marksman in the State. Gen. Grant speaks very disparagingly of Johnston, and says he will whip him certainly if he comes to attack him where he is. He has received heavy reinforcements since the fall of Snyder's Buff. Among the killed of the Yankees since they have invested Vicksburg, are Maj. Gen. Kerr, Brig.Gens. Burbridge, Lay, Bowman, and one other, name forgotten. The two gunboats sunk were the Nat

s is known to be an idle boast. Mr. Saunders states that the stench of the dead Yankees offended citizens six miles from the battle-field. Gen. Pemberton sent a flag of truce to Grant and demanded that he remove his wounded and bury his dead, which demand was complied with. The Federals, when they approached Vicksburg, were perfectly sanguine of an immediate capture of our stronghold, and invited the ladies into Vicksburg to see their sweethearts, as the rebels were all to be sent North. Gen. Grant demanded a surrender of the city, and gave Pemberton three days to consider the proposition. The rebel General replied that he didn't want three minutes to consider the question, but invited Grant to open upon him as soon as he pleased. After the terrible slaughter on Friday, Gen.

General Grant sent in to Pemberton to know why he fired railroad spikes and poisoned balls at them? The only answer Gen. P made to this cession was that the whole story was a d — d lie. The Federals are seizing upon all sorts of pretexts to account for their tremendous Losses. A correspondent of the Mobile Register writing from Jackson, Miss., on the 29th, gives the following view of the position of affairs around the beleaguered city: The principal fighting at Vicksburg has lulled, and the enemy has fallen back and commenced fortifying among the bills in parallel lines with those of Pemberton. His assaults on the Vicksburg works have been terribly disastrous. More of the enemy have been slaughtered before the Vicksburg trenches than in any other battle of the war, being from 20,000 to 30,000. This is a great number of men to be put h
