DEE ae THE PROGRESS OF GEN. GRANT. The capture of Jacksen, Miss., is an impor- tant step towards the reduction of Vicksburg, and if Grant can deal with the rebel force there before the Confederates are able to concentrate | troops upon him or‘effect a flank movement, | the solution of the question of the free naviga- tion of the Mississippi seems likely to be speed- ily solyefiirthe affirmative. Independently of the political importance of | the place, as the Rebel Capital, and of its mili- tary importance as the key to Vicksburg, the possession of Jackson is an adyantage of no little importance. The town contains a beau- tifal State Honse, erected at a cost of halfa million of dollars, the Executive mansion, the State Lunatic Asylum, the Penitentiary, sun- dry churches, and three or four newspaper effices. It is—or was, betore the war,—the cen- ter of a large and lucrative cotton trade. Abont 34,000 bales used te be annually shipped from there. The population, according to the last census, was about 5,000. THE Cas F COL, D The D’Utassy court stands adjourned till to- morrow, when Co}. D'Utassy will present an elaborate defense in writing.

Era.} Ovrxzovusas, May 5.—Frem a participant in | the fight, who arrived at this place early this morning, I gather the following articulars of the bombardment of the Grand and the movements of thearmy of Gen. Grant: Admiral Porter with seven gunboats, the ' « Same that passed and shelled Vicksburg onthe night of the 16th April, attacked the batteries at Grand Gulf on the 29th ult., for the purpose of attracting aitention from the movements of Gen. Grant. After bombarding the place for Tore than five hours, and until Gen. Grant had crossed his troops and got in their rear, he withdrew. Gen. Grant had landed at the month of Bay. | ou Pierre, and advanced to Union Church, | where he came upon four thousand rebels. A short, sharp fight took place here which re- | sulted in the capture of 300 rebels, and the rap- | id retreat of the remainder of them towar Port Gibson, where they had a force of 9,000 more, rapidly pursued by our forces. Our advance, under Gen. Osterhaus, pursued, and o on them at sight, and another hot, though short, fight followed. After losing a Brig. General and a Chief of Artillery, the reb- els retreated in the directien of Jackson. Our advance had followed them so closely that the rear guerd of the rebels had not time te destroy the bridge, over which the road from. Port Gibson to Grand Gulf passes, or the fight might have been more severe for our men. My informant staid with Admiral Porter, so that I could not iearn anything of Gen. Grant’s movements in the direction of Jackson further | than that he was capturing prisoners in large | numbers. Some that were brought into Grand Gulf said he bad surrounded and taken one It is understood, however, that ex- j till at Carlisle Barracks, ' ulf batteries. , meacacels ae iaberog tyler ue of Vocal ie | Prof J.

EDITION, —— ee THREE O'CLOGK P. M. ARRIVAL OF PRIZES. During the past few days quite a number of ptizes—eome of them valuable—have arrived here, and steps have already been taken to se- cure their condemnation. The schooner Harvest, having on board 81 bales of cotton, was captured several days ‘since by. the U.S. steamer Juniata, of Com. ‘Wilttes' “squadron, having run the blockade near Charleston. She had no papers on board, but was bound for Nassau, and had seven per- sons on board, two of whom—the captain and one who represents as a part owner—were brought here and the others taken to Key West. The schooner was brought here by a prize crew from the Suniata. The schooners Martha Ann and A. Corson, from New York, with cargoes of whisky, mo- lasses, wagons, furniture, &c., ostensibly bound for this port, were captured last week by the steamer Western World, of the North Atlantic | squadron, near the mouth of the Chesapeake, ' tor violating the reyenue laws, and were sent to this port. The Primrose, Capt. Shut, arrived on Sun- | day evening with the schooners Sarah Lavinia j and Ladies’ Dehght. The first was captured | on the Sth inst., by the Primrose, in Gurrioman Bay, the crew leaving her as the boats from the Primrose approached and making their escape. She had succeeded in landing her cargo, con- sisting of whisky, molasses, flour, bacon, &c., about ten miles below, and when captured had ‘only seven packages of lace on board. Capt. Shut gained enough information to satisfy him where the goods were, and the men from the Currituck, Anacostia, Primrose and Ssattelite made an excursion to the neighborhood of Ur- bana, and succeeded in teking all the cargo, which was found secreted in different farm houses, barne, &c.. among which were five hundred pieces ef bacon, which had been pur- chased for the Confederate army, and was awaiting transportation. While on this expe- | dition the schooner Ladies’ Delight, which was formerly used in smuggling, was captured, and the goods taken were placed on board and brought off. She had been sunk, but was raised, and was undergoing a refitment for her old purposes. The Primrose also brought up seyeral refugees. DISMISSED, By order of the War Department Captain John A. Haddock, 35th Regiment of New York Volunteers, has been dismissed the service of the United States, for violation of the sover- eignty of a frieudly foreign state in arresting Ebenezer Tyler, a deserter from the United States ferces, and bringing him a y from within the boundaries of Canada. The said Ebenezer Tyler has been discharged from his enlistment as a United States Volun- teer. THE BLACK TROOPS IN THE SOUTILWEST. Information just received here, makes it plain that the efforts to enlist blaek troops in the Southwest against the rebellion are suc- | ceeding beyond the anticipations of the most sanguine. We learn, further, that the health ofourarmy in that quarter is excellent. Tur CoLorEp REGIMEN .—The mustering | officer, for some reason, did not muster the recruits for the Ist Regiment District of Colum- bia Colored Volunteers who assembled near the Israel Church yesterday morning, and the men were cainped there for the night, sleeping in tents which were sent down yesterday after- noon. Commissaries stores were also sent down to them. This morning, Dr. Seely, of the army, ; and Dr. Augusta, the lately appointed colored surgeon, are examining the men, and up to noon had passed upon about twenty-five, and had rejected none. It is confidently asserted that but few will be rejected, and that at least two companies will be mustered in to-day. “The school house near by is being used by the surgeons as an office in which to examine the men, who as fast as they are passed upon are shown into the lot in which the tents are erected, around which a guard is kept, the sen- tries, armed with sticks, each having tneir reg- ular beats. Outside the lot there is a large crewd of persons, but neither the spectators nor the recruits are as numerous as they were yesterday. Five-Twenty Loan.—Subscriptions to this loan yesterday, at the office of Jay Cooke & Co., amounted to $2,369,750.

We are yet without particulars. Gen. Grant took Jackson on the 12th instant, and burned the State Capitol. Heavy reinforcements were hurrying for- ward to the rebels, and stopping twelve miles east of Jackson. A great battle is imminent. Dispatches frem Somerset, Kentucky, say the rebel force in Wayne and Clinton counties is increasing. They are said to have 17,000 men, with fourteen pieces of artillery. Four regi- ments of infantry have passed-through James- town. Twenty-four regiments are reported at Morristown. Gen. Buckner is said to be at Clinton. There are rebel pickets on the Cumberland river at every available point. The Cumber- land is falling and will soon be fordable unless we have rain. ’ Twenty-three bodies of the men belonging to the New Jersey regiment who were recently drowned haye been recovered. The rebel General S.B. Buckner has been assigned to the command of East Tennessee. A letter from Richmond, Ky., says the rebels have crossed the Cumberland, and are advan- cirg on that place. There is no question but another invasion of Kentucky in force is contemplated, with a view to flank Rosecrans and compel him to leave his strong position at Murfreesboro’. A white man was killed by a free negro in New Albany on the 17thinst. The greatest ex. citement prevailed, and the military had to be called out. All quiet at last accounts. LOCAL NEWS.

Thesoldier and Finegan had a set-to in the sireeta short time before. Fin- negan had struck the soldier's father, and the soldier struck Finnegan. They separated, but Finnegan followed the soldier and struck him. Another set-to ensued and Finnegan stabbed the soldier in the left breast above the nipple, but, itis hoped, not dangerously. Justice Gi- bercon held Finnegan for further hearing. The soldier went to the Fourth Ward Station and gave evidence against Finnegan, and fainted soon after hehad concluded, being overcome by excitement and loss of bloed. Dr. Hellen attended him, and when sufficiently restored he was placed upon & stretcher and taken to the hospital. ——— LATEST QUOTATIONS— WASHINGTON MOK- EY MAaRKeET.—Farnished by Lewis Johnson & Co., Bankers.
