Vicksburg.

The indications are strong that Gen. Johnston is at last making a move upon the rear of Grant's army. We have great hopes from this quarter, and as Kirby Smith and Price can pour in men from the other shore at pleasure, it would seem that our hopes are not without foundation. We look for stirring news from the South very shortly, especially since the Yankees themselves confirm the capture of Brashear City, said to be a stronger point than Vicksburg or Port Hudson.
