THE SIEGE OF VICKSBURG. eee interesting Details of our Operations, pate Csicaco, June 1.—A special dispatch to the Timec, dated headquarters in the field near Vicksburg, May 23d, says: effected in the last thirty-six hours. Over one hundred pieces of field artillery and several siege guns rained shot and shell on the enemy's works yesterday. The mortar fleet also took their position behind De Seto Point, and bom- barded the city the entire day. On the right Gen. Shermau has pushed Steele’s division squarely to the foot of the parapets. Our men day in a ditch and on the elope of the parapet aside of one of the principal forts, unable to taxe it by storm, but determined not to retire. “The Federal and rebel soldiers are not twenty- five feet apart, both powerless to inflict much harm. ‘watches the other, and dozens of * muskets are fired as soon as a soldier exposes himself above the works on either side.

Our artillery has dismounted a few guas and damaged the works in some places, | but they ave etill strong. General McUteruand was hard pressed on | the left yesterday, and sent for reintorcements. | Quimby’s division went to their assistance at tour o'clock. The contest continnea till | seven. One of our fiags was planted at the foct of the earthworks on the outside of one of j the revel forts and kept there several hours, but the fort was not taken. McClernand’s loss is | estimated at one thousand killed and wounded | yesterday. The fighting crows more desperate every day. Transports now bring supplies by ‘wer to within three milesof our right.

With- | a that time there have been daily battles and | continual canronade. Atleast two tho of our soldiers have been placed hors de « killed and wounded, in the several charges or- dered against the earthworks. It was rumored yesterday that this morning | Gen. Grant would order a charze simuliau: ously along the entire line of works. Late in the eveniag the commanders of the difterent | corps, divisions, and brigades received their | orders, and prepared toexecnts them. The or- der contemplated a Herce canuonade from day- dight unttd ten o’clock, but tor some unex- plained reazon it Was not opened antil after eight During the night, however, the gunboats and mortars jying in tront of Vicksburg kept up | continual fire, and dropped their flery messen- gers right and left without distinction. During this bombardment several baildings ; were set on fire by the explodiug shells, and lighted up the darkuess. revealing strange | shapes and wondert} outlines, standing out | ag relief against the dark sky, which added | ‘wonderful intere:t to the bombardment as wit- | messed by the distant observer. Jt 1s impossi- | ble to estimate the damage occasioned by thus ' dzopping into Vicksburg these heavy elaven | and thirteen-inch shells, Imagination falls tar short of reality. Before we approached the city the General commanding otdered all the women and chil- aren for miles around Vicksburg tocome within the intrenchments, assuriug them that in that way they would escape all danger. The con- sequence is that there are a large number of ner-combatants in Vicksburg, exposed to all the danzers ot siege and bombardment. At eight o'clock this morning, according to the pre; ie, the canzonading began, and continued with scarcely a moment's intermis- | sien along the entire line until ten o'clock. ' Upon every bill top in frout of the enemy's ‘works cannon were placed, and the flery tem- pest raged fearfully. Guus were dismounted, embrasures torn out, ts destroyed, and calssons expioded. It was a feartal demou- mratiou. 6 enemy were powerless to reply; for our line of skirmishers was pushed up close to the euemy’s works, and unerriagly picked off the gunners whenever they attempt- vd to workthe guns. long hours did this cannonade con- Ling, | La Sete But little has been | ! tion cf Geperai Carr's diyssion, and gauantiy | taken, Colonel Stone, of tas Twenty-eccoad lows, led the charge, and was minded. : Om che center tae lire was persistent and ter- ' yibie.

A‘Visit or PreeipEst Lincoty To New } Yorx.—A New York letter says: President Lincoln, in accordance with a wish expressed by him some weeks since, will ; pay & visit to this city about the 16th of June, and while here wilt be the guest of Mo:es Grinnell, Esq. As the sole motive of his jour- ney is recreation and rest, no public receptions or demonstrations of any kind will bé connte- nanced. The President's family, it is under- stood, will accompany him. Poesibly they may go as far East as Newport. ReGIetT“R DovGiass.—The recent attack npon this gentleman, published in the Chroiicie, be- cause of his alleged refusal to enter the names ofsome applicants upon the poll or register lists, simply illustrates the general want of | familiarity of his oponents with our municipal affairs, the Register having no authority what- , ever to make such entries in any case. Dxcision.—The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has decided that it is the duty of the justice of the peace or notary public before ' whom an affidavit is made, to affix and cancel the five cent stamp to be placed thereon. RoMANTIC Marri Miss Helen M. Dresser, the young Iady who has within a year | or two lectured on Mormonism in different sections of the United States and the British | provinces, was recently married at Goat Island, near Niagara Falls, to Mr.- Eli Garrett, of | Georgetown, D. C. A correspondent of the Boston Traveler, accidentally upon the spot, but who was unacquainted with the names of the bride and bridegroom, thus describes the scene: Thore was a wedding yesterday on the pretty , little island near the falls. A fair girl from Miseouri and somebody from Washington | linked their fortunes together in the face of the everlasting floods. The bridal quartette, head- | ed by a Methodist minister, with a formidable ; Toliin bis hand in which curious eyes saw the wedding certificate. tried to tind a lonely nook tor the ceremony where there should be no uns invited witnesses, but allin vain. Their little drama drew its spectators, and guest= without “cards’ were on hand to bid the romantic cou- ple be happy. serene ES MEDICAL ABSOSIATION. sapecial meeting of the Medien?

ES it TUX RICHMOND WHIG IN A BAD TEMPER. ee EXTRA RILLY SMITH PROBABLY ELECTED GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA, AND WISE DEFEATED. ns SS We haye a copy of the Richmond Wii of the seth olt, It contains, however, uothing whai- ever from Vicksburg. . The Whig has ap editorial, in which it finds fault with the «short-sighted and narrow policy that prompted the construction of a Cabinet of men representing but one phase and classification of political opinion,” and thinks that those in authority have not done all they might have done with such armies and leaders as they have had at their command. : It argues that the first great error in the conduct of the war was the making of it etrict- stand dismixaed the service of the United States, | ly 8 defensive war, and suggests that a dose of unless within fifteen days from this date they | the enemy’s own medicine would cause him to desist from iurther inyasion. It admits, however, that the South is powerless to retali- ate, but asserts that not man inten would have the war cease if he could, before having a + chance to repay what they have suffered. The failure to have had the seas swarming | with privateers, the failure to obstruct their | smaller rivers early in the war, “in not using the slightest machinery of diplomacy and po- Hitieal intrigue in disintegrating our enemies,” | and the appointment of favorites and young and untried men over old and tried men, are | all regarded as errors by the Whig from which | much trouble is to be anticipated. The Whig is inclined to believe that Gencral Billy Smith has been elected Governor of the State; and that if he is not, Col. Flournoy cer- | tainly is. It announces Wm. C. Rives, Thos. S. Bocock, | R. E. Collier, and Wm. C. Wickham, as mem- bers elect to the next Congress. THE ELECTION YESTERDAY. The reader will find elsewhere in the Star to-day, full returns of yesterday’s municipal election held here. The result has vindicated not only the accuricy of our long-since pub- lished judgment ot the probable end on’t, but the thorough loyalty of the great mass of the sO wantonly, vehe- mently and persistly assailed by the Chronicle, to the self-evident end of throwing the manage. } ment of our municipal affairs into the hands ot a@ small band of political speculators, utterly and justly denied the confidence of the mass of our fellow-citizens, Who Know the men and bold attempts of the ('/ * to dragoon this community into the support of ite so generally { | incompetent and unfit candidates, by repre- senting them &s, por ereellence, the party of the Administration and Government, might haye ons at 2 distance into the belief irom first to last the Ster explained the fact that the Administration held no such views with reference to the contest; and that its members» | time and again, refused the applications of those represented by that paper in this election, | that they should signify a preference for its candidates. The truth is, the Unconditional Union ticket» and the on/y unconditional ticket in the field, was the one that succeeded by an uverage of taree and a half votes toone. That ticket was voted for only by men who, in the words of the President, --wouldsave the Union with or with- out slayery, or would save it part slave and part free, but would sive it anyhow;” while the supporters of the so ingloriously defeated ticket, where they really are guided by any fixed principle, to a man, hold to that of Greeley, Phillips, Garrison & Co., that they will sup- | port the Administration in the further prosecu- tion of the war, only on condition that the Union be restored without slavery any where within its limits—the men bitten with the idea of forcing negro social and industrial eyuality upon this | community. How signally this election has been a vic- tory for the Administration’s war policy, may be comprehended trom the manly and emphat- ically loyal speech of Mr, Dixon, delivered last night, which we print to-day. Though but a reiteration of that gentleman's well- known <entiments, its appearance at this time must serve to completely defeat the efforts that will be made by copperheadism at a dls- tance, to inject into the public mind the idea that the Chrenicic’s chronic attempts to make it appear that Mr. D,’s supporters were but a lot of copperheads; those of the Administration's war policy being represented (according to the Chronicle’s persistent asseyerations) by the yo- ters for the opposition ticket. He has thussayed President Lincoln from the serious stab aimed at him by the Chronicle, in its combined igno- rance not only ot the men and things of Wash- ington, but of the first principle of making 2 | journal that shall attain influence—the art of knowing, not, whet to say, but what no/ to say. In conclusion we have to assure the distant | public (our own people well knowing the-fact) , that @Ir. Richards personally enjoys the confi. | dence ard regard of all his fellow citizens, and has been thus badly beaten only because found in the company with which he has of late thoughtlesely trained. He is young andshrewd ! enough to profit by yesterday’s lessen, and will doubtless at once cut loose from them. TAKING DUE CARE. The recent renewal of proper precantions to prevent mischief being perpetrated by some handtul of rebels within the lines of the mili- tary Department of Washington, is being repre- sented by secession sympathizers as evidence that the Government seriously anticipate a formidable attempt of Lee’s army to take the Federal Metropolis. Sensible and loyal people, however, very properly see it in a different light. They interpret it as it should be inter- preted. As evincing the determination that no mere raid ‘of from a dozer toa few hundred rebel cavalry shall by any chance be able to slip within our lines and burn valuable prop- erty before surrandering or being cut to pieces, ‘The success of late Union cayalry enterprises ; im proving what can be done where allayenues of entrance for asmall band or force are not closely and pereistently guarded, is simply inducing our commanders eyery where to take due care ihat such enterprises directed against us shall not succeed anywhere. A VisiT TO THE PRESIDENT.—A committee of sixty-five from the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church—headed by that estimable and useful Divine Rev. John C. Smith—waited upon the President this morning, and presented | him with the resolutions of that body. The | committee were accompanied by several ladies, and were very courteously and kindly re- ceived. TELEGRAPHIC. sotinaletaimmsd FROM BURNSIDE’S COMMAND.
