Victories in Mississippi. Osterbans defeated at the big Black — Gen Banks routed at Port Hudson. Jackson, Miss, July 7. --Gen. Loring attacked Gen. Osterhaus yesterday, near Edwards's Depot, this side of the Big Black, and after 'three hours' hard fighting drove him across the river. Our loss is reported heavy. An officer from the vicinity of Port Hudson says Gen Dick Taylor crossed the Mississippi, under cover of our guns, last Saturday. He and Gardner then attacked Banks and routed him with heavy loss. They are both marching to reinforce Johnston. There has been nothing further received regarding the fall of Vicksburg.

Dick Taylor's operations--Gen. Loring Light often comes from quarters in which it was least expected. It is a common occurrence in this world, and has been particularly no in this war. The appointment of Gen. Dick Taylor to an important command produced a great outcry at the time, particularly in Congress. It was alleged that he was incompetent, and owed his appointment to the fact of being the President's brother-in-law. He has, nevertheless, turned out to be one of the most ente. If the telegraph speaks the truth, the last stroke of Gen. Taylor was a master. If he has really routed Banks, and is on his way to join Johnston, he may be the means of compensating, in some degree, for the disaster of Vicksburg. Gen. Loring seems to be gathering new laurels in Mississippi. His exploit in repulsing the attack of Osterhaus is the only gleam of light that we have from the immediate vicinity of Vicksburg. We are glad to see that there is some vitality left in the a

ssed through General Johnston's quarters without injuring any one. Grant was reinforced yesterday evening by one division of General Burnside's command. We buried 153 of the enemy yesterday. The Vicksburg prisoners have arrived at Brandon. There is still no prospect of a general engagement, but heavy infantry and artillery skirmishing continues. [Third Dispatch.] Jackson, July 16. --The enemy made a heavy demonstration on our right and centre this afternoon, but Walker's and Loring's divisions repulsed them handsomely. The artillery fire was incessant, and our batteries replied gun for gun. The enemy sought shelter in the woods. Heavy reinforcements for Grant continue to arrive, who are pressed around on our right for the purpose of crossing Pearl river above, and flanking us. The enemy are planting siege guns on their redoubts. It is supposed that to-morrow the remainder of Jackson will be burnt. [fourth Dispatch.] Jackson, July 16. --An entire blo

The 45th Virginia. --This regiment appeared first in the field under General Floyd, in Western Virginia. Owing to a conspiracy of circumstances it had acquired not a great deal of credit for itself up to the period of Loring's march into Kanawha, when it acquitted itself well in an engagement with the enemy. At the late battle near the White Sulphur, however, it completely vindicated its name from all aspersions and established its character as one of the most determined and brave amongst Virginia regiments. It there defended an important position, and sustained the enemy's terrible charges with the coolest and most unwavering resolution. It is one of Gen. Jones's crack regiments.

ere advancing on Clinton, in two columns, 25,000 strong, by the Queen's Hill and Clinton roads.--Owing to such immense superiority in numbers, Gen. Lee declined to give them further battle, and retired towards Canton, to effect a junction with Gen. Loring, who had reached Madison Station with his command that morning. About the time that Gen. Lee left Clinton an immense smoke was observed in that vicinity. At 12 o'clock the order was given to evacuate Jackson, as the enemy were then reported wounded. The bridge was effectually destroyed. Gen. French's division was under orders and in readiness to retreat Friday evening. It is now at Morton. The division had been hold in reserve on the east bank of Pearl river. Neither is nor Loring's division took part in any of the engagements. The latter was held at Canton to watch the movements of the column which had started from the Yazoo. Gen. Lee's cavalry did nobly, but they were not able to contend against twenty to one.--The con

ton (Miss.) Citizen seems to take the misfortune which has befallen him in quite a philosophic temper. In his issue of the 5th instant he discourseth as follows: The publication of the Citizen, after the present issue, depends upon the movements of our army. If it meets the enemy and is whipped back, or falls back "just dry so," without a whipping, "Othello's occupation" will be gone, and it is more than probable that "Othello" will go himself, and not stand much on "the order of his going," either. The Yankees that visited us last summer did our office no material damage; but that is no guarantee whatever that the force now menacing us would not. They may be more vindictive — more bent on devastation and the "punishment" of "rebels" than the other crowd. So, "with the lights now before us," we think it altogether probable that, if Gen. Loring and all the rest of our great men "fall back," the publisher of this paper will be found in the "foce-front" of the retiring host.

December, and scarcely had more than familiarized himself with the command, and had had but little time to organize his troops and collect together all the energies of his Department; and whether strong or weak by reason of his predecessor's organization, upon that and that alone, he must rely. Gen. Polk took the field. Forrest was still detached from the main army, and must remain so to watch the movements of Grier son and his command. Sherman with his 35,000 could only be opposed by Loring, French, and Lee. From Vicksburg the enemy moved very rapidly and vigorously on to Jackson, and from that point they threatened Meridian, the railroad centre of this department.--At this time Gen. Polk borrowed from the Mobile garrison two or three brigades to retard the enemy in order to enable him to save his supplies, which had accumulated at different points of the railroads for the past two years. It would have been the height of folly to have given the enemy battle under the circu

More re-enlistments. Demopolis, March 14. --Major General Loring published an address to his divisions and effective speeches were delivered by Judge Glenn, Gen. Featherston, and Captain Barksdale, when the whole division, which is largely composed of Mississippians, Alabamians, Louisianian, and Arkansans unanimously re-enlisted for the war. Ragsdale and Robinson, of the 9th Arkansas regiment, sentenced to be shot to day for desertion, have been reprieved.

--Gen Cleburn's division engaged the 4th army corps under Howard, about 1 o'clock this morning, and, after a desperate contest, signally repulsed the enemy, with a loss of between five and seven thousand. We captured between 150 and 200 prisoners, exclusive of wounded, and immense quantities of arms and accoutrements. Gen C says the enemy's dead were piled thicker than he ever saw before. Between 500 and 1,000 dead were left close up to his front. Their line of breastworks in front of Loring's command was abandoned. Our loss will probably number four or five hundred. Skirmishing is still going on, and the enemy's left gradually giving way. [fourth Dispatch.] New Hope May 29 --Granbury's brigade was placed in action at 5 P M yesterday when the enemy attempted to turn our flank. We had no defences except a few boughs and stones hastily collected by the cavalry, which held the position as skirmishers before the brigade came up. The engagement immediately became furi

From North Georgia. Top of Kansas Mountain, via Marietta, June 15. --There has been considerable cannonading and skirmishing on our right and centre to day. The enemy advanced his lines the previous night very near ours, and both lines are distinctly visible from this point. The weather is beautiful, and the roads are rapidly drying. Loring is now in command of Polk's corps. Lieut. Elisha P. Gaines, of Ky., was captured by our scouts this morning. He says the enemy lost 1,500 in Hooker's fight with Stewart, on the 25th of May, and that it was a useless sacrifice of life on the part of the enemy.
