The following telegraph was received here this morning: : Farrrax Court House, June 4, 1963.—Lt Col. J. H. Taylor, Chief of Staff and A. A. All is quiet along our lines, and in front, on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. This morning, at 5o’clock, when the relief passed, our pickets were attacked on Sawyer’s road by guerillas. Col. Gray at once started ‘with about 120 men in search of them, but could find nothing of them in the woods. He then went on to scout the whole country, and when he passed Frying Pan his rear guard was attacked by about one hurdred rebels, who were hidden in a thick wood: Col. Gtay turned his column and charged the rebels, who fled in great haste through the woods. We followed them up to Aldie’s; from there returned via Drainsville. Our entire loss is three wounded and some ' Borses wounded. We captured their sur- : geon—Dr. Alexander. J. STAHL, Major General. ASCARE. By arrivals from Harper’s Ferry we learn | that ere is some apprehension amongst civil- | tans there of another raid by the Rebels upon the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and possibly an attack upon Harper's Ferry; and some families are leaving in consequence. !~ The military authorities there do not, as far as ‘We can ascertain, share in the apprehension, 8nd it is probable that the rumor is part and parcel of the one afloat tor sometime concern- ing Lee's talked-of invasion project. ADMIRAL DUPONT AND GENERAL HUNTER RELIEVED. We hear, under circumstances which give us confidence in the truth of the report, that Admiral Foote is about to relieve Admiral Du- pont in the command of the South Atlantic Squadron. It is also very generally believed to-day that Gen. Gilmore has been assigned to the command of that portion of our army now operating in South Casplina.

Blair Finds no Rebels Between Vicksburg and the Big Black. CincrynaTi, June 4.—Our direct advices from Vicksburg are to the 30th of May. bs Fer several days previous quiet prevailed all along our lines, broken only by occasional | cannonading. The Commercial has a dispatch, dated :3/th, says: Spades are once more trumps. We are erecting earthworks to protect our men, and are mining to blow the face out of one or two of the rebel forts that are unapproachable oth- erwise. The idea of carrying the place by storm seems to be abandoned. The safer and surer plan of starving General Pemberton into submission now finds favor everywhere. A deserter came into our lines this morning. He represents that he was sent by General Pemberton to communicate verbally with Gen- erals Johnston and Loring. The former is supposed to be between the Big Black River and Jackson. The latter was near Port Gib- son. He represents affairs in the city as growing desperate. About eighteen thousand effective men sre there, two-thirds of whom are kept on the fortifications night and day, and not al- lowed to leave an instant on any pretext. Generals Pemberton, Lee, Reynolds, Ste ven- son and others are in thecity. Most of the sick left the city betore its investment. Those who remain have excavated caves and remain in them night and day. Valuabie merchandise in the city is also stored in caves from fear of conflagration. The poor are generally in their houses. Over one hundred women and children have been killed by our bombardment. The gunboats inflict no injury on the city. Gen. Pemberton believed his rations would oid out thirty days, but urged Johnston to come to bis relief within ten days at the fur- | Z walry horses have been turned loose and | driven towards our lings, owing to the lack of | forage.

This morning the heaviest cannonading of | the siege was kept up without intermission for nearly three hours. New batteries have lately been put im posi- | tior, and one hundred and fifty guns are pisy- ing on the city. At daylight this morning the firing was rap- id teyond belief. The reports of the guns along | the whole line averaged one per second for minutes together. The roar of the heavy siege guns was awfal, and the earth was shaken by the concussion. The roads and camps are uncommonly dusty. Onur wounded are removed to hospital boats in large numbers and transported to Memphis. All goes well, considering the magnitude of operations. FROM VICKSBURG. Official Advices to Sunday Last—The Siege Progressing Fav ly—Gen. Grant Able to "Pake Care of Johnston— Everything Progressing Favorably at Vicksburg. The Government is in receipt of official dis- patches from Grant upto Sunday eyening last, at which time everything was progressing fa- vorably for our cause. Gen. Grant is confl- dent of being able to take gare ef any torce Joe Johnston may bring in his rear, and has made such disposition as will baffle the aims of that commander. The Richmond Sentinel of June 3, contains a telegram dated Jackson, June 1, stating that «Grant had demanded the surrender ot Vicks- burg, giving three days to Pemberton to con- sider the demand. Pemberton replied that he did not wart fifteen minutes, and that his troops would die in ‘the trenches before they would surrender. * * -* The enemy's gun- boats fire hot shot at the city. 4 «Port Hudson is invested,” The dispatch containing the above intelli- gence adds— Nothing in the Richmond En- quirer o: June 4.” {The telegram above, quoted from the Rich- mond Sentinel, must refer to Thursday, May 28. The official dispatches received here (Wash- ington) from the army of the Mississippi, are dated the 28th, 20th, 30th, and 3ist of May, but they make po mention of any assaults besides those of the 2ist and 22d, and the fight on the Monday tollowing, which was not very heavy. The state of affairs, as far as known, is as follows: That up tothe 31st of May the siege of Vicksburg was progressing with reasonable satisfaction, and there was not at that time any immediate pressure on Grant's rear. Interesting Mail Accounts from General Grant's Army. Our Western exchanges bring us some inter- esting details of the siege of Vicksburg, which have not yet appeared in our columns. Cairo, June 1.—The news by the Winona to- , Night says that an officer, who has had the op- pony for examination, reports that the e of the Federal lines from right te left, on the Mississippi, trom the Yazoo to the lower part of Vicksburg, must be over six miles. The rear of our lines comes up te the rebel lines on the east of the town. Persons who have been to De Soto Pointsay that with a glass they cannotsee a human being in Vicksburg, save soldiers. Our men capture horses daily belonging to Several of our men have been captured by the rebels, but they have been pa- roled immediately, from a scarcity of food. Several deserters from the rebel army at Vicksburg came to Cairo yesterday—some from Price’s force and some from the Texan cavairy. They escaped on Monday evening last, having participated in all the battles between Pem- berton and Grant to thattime. They agree in reporting the Confederate loss in the desperate engagement of Friday, the 22d, as very heavy. The rebels sre limited in the amount of their stores, not more than enough (issuing half ra- tions) to suffice for thirty days. ‘The deserters say there are about 30,000 sol- diers in Vicksburg. They seem toentertain no | doubt of the speedy surrender of the strong- hold to Grant and his troops. 3 Mempuis, May 30, (via Cairo, June 1.)—A maan who left Panola, Mississippi, May 23th, | says Joe Johnston has 20,0) men, and is mov- ing to attack Grant’s rear.

Laker’s LANDING ON THE Yazoo RIVER, May 28.—Scouts report that Gen. Johnston is advancing. One army corps drew seven days rations and marched to meet him at daylight yesterday. His advance is stated to be between | the Yazoo and Big Black rivers, with the in- tention of retaking Haines’s Bluff'and break- ing up eur communications by the Yazoo. His force is variously estimated at trom 15,000 to 35,000. Gen. Grant is confident of his ability to | defeat him without raising the siegr. * Mempuis, June 2.—Advices from Grant’s ar- my to the 30th have been received. The siege of Vicksburg is slowly progressing. The mer- tars are firing slowly day and night. All the prisoners in the Vicksburg jail have been released and put across the river. They | report that one of the mortar shells exploded in the jail, and destroyed it. BEBEL NEWS FROM VICKSBURG AND VICINITY. The Mobile Register of the 29th contains the folowing letter from its correspondent with Pemberton’s army : Jackson, May 2%3.—The enemy having moved from Jackson directly to the Big Black, and after the disasters of Saturday, or more particularly of Sunday, threw his columns across the river, and commeneed extending his lines around Vicksburg. { Our forces evacuated Snyder’s Bluff, destroy- ing the works. This opened up the Yazoo to the enemy, who immediately availed himself of the advantage, and entering the river, as- cended to Yazoo city, and took possession, our forces destroying the Navy Yard und the two | embryo gunboats in course of construction | there, and which would have been finished in some six or eight months. This enables Grant to supply his army without the necessity ot | using his wagon road from Milliken’s Bend to’) Carthage, or of the guriboatsrunning the gaunt- | let of the Vicksburg batteries, as the transports | can go up the Yazoo and safely land whatever | isneeded. Vicksburg is being nearly or cem- | pletely invested, you will see that it is with | much difficulty that any information can be On the 12th, Gen. Pemberton issued the fol- lowing address to his army: Headquarters Department of East Mississippi and Louisiana, Vécksiurg, May 12, 1-63.—Soldiers of the Army in and around Vicksbarg: The hourof trial hascome! The enemy who has so long threatened Vicksburg in front, has at last effected a Janding in this department, and his march into the interior of issippi has been marked by the devastation of one of the {| fairest portions of the State! He seeks to break communication between the members of the confederacy, and to control the navigation of the Mississippi river. The issue involves everything endeared to 2 free people. The enemy fights for the privilege of plunder and epprecsion! You fight for your country, homes, wives, children, and the birthrights of freemen! Your Commanding General, believing in the truth and sacredness of this cause, has cast his lot with you, and stands ready to peril his life @nd all he holds dear for the triumph of the t. God, who rules in the affairs of men and nations, loves justice and hates wicked- ness. He will not allow 8 cause 60 just to be trampled in the dust.

THREE'O’CLOCK P. M. ‘ FROM THE FRONT. =e LEE’S ARMY REPORTED TO BE MASSED AT THE UNITED STATES FORD. We learn that there were indications on Wednesday night that Lee was massing forces at United States Ford, on the Rappahannock, apparently either to attempt a crossing there or to make a feint for a crossing elsewhere. It would not be proper for us to intimate what preparations Hooker has made to meet the enemy should they undertake to pay his | side of the river a visit; but it is safe to.say | that Lee will find the attempt a hazardous one, and that he will not be permitted toreturn with impunity when once across. | ‘The rebels have some facilities for crossing | Just now in the very low stage of the water in the Rappahannock, which can be crossed almost dry shod at numerous points; butother- i | wise than this they find “Jordan so hard a road to trayel” in’ their proposed invasion project (as is evidenced by their fluctuating plans and movements) that Lee has, it is be- ; lieved, advised the abandonment of the project; and if he undertakes it, will do so against his judgment, by force of the “On to Washington” pressgre, which seems at tbe South to be a counterpart of the famous “On to Richmond” ery which prevailed with us at one time with such disastrous results, | OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE SINKING OF THE CINCINNATI, Lieut. Commanding Geo. M. Bache, of the | Cincinnati, makes the following report of the | sinking of that vessel on the 27th ult.: MISSISSIPPI SQUADRON, Flagship Black Hawk, above Vicksburg, May 27, 1863.—Sir: In obedi- ence to your orders, the Cincinnati got under | way this morning at seven o’clock, and steamed slowly down until a little abreast of where the { mortars lay, when we rounded to. The enemy | fired several shots from agun called “Whistling Dick,” but soon gave it up. At half-past eight o'clock, with a full head of steam, we stood for the position assigned us. ‘The enemy fired rapidly, and from all their batteries. When abreast of our position and reunding to, & ball entered the magazine, and she com- menced filling rapidly. Shortly after thestar- beard tiller was carried away. Before and after this time the enemy fired ith great accuracy, hitting us almost every time. We were especially annoyed by plung- ing shots from thé hills—an S-inch rifle and a 10-inch smooth bore doing us much damage. The shots went entirely through our protec- | tion—hay, weed and iron. Finding that the yessel would sink, I ran her | up stream and as near the right hand shore as our damaged steering apparatus would per- mit. Aboutten minutes before she sunk we ran close in, got out a plank, and put the wounded ashore, We also got a hawser out to make fast to a tree to hola her until she sunk. Unfortunately the men ashore at the hawser left it without making fast—the enemy still firing. The boat commenced drifting out, and | I sung out to the men to swim ashore, think- ing we were in deeper water (as was reported) than we really were. I suppose about 15 were drowned, and about 25 killed and wounded, and one probably taken prisoner, will sum up our total loss. The boat sank in about three fathom: of i water, lays level, and can easily be raised. She was within range of the enemy’s bat- tenes. : | The veseel went down with her colors nailed | to the mast, or rather the stump of one, all three | having been shot away. Our fire, until the magazine was drowned, j was good, and 1 am satisfied did damage. We j; only tired at a two-gun water battery. Gro. M. Bacag, Lieut. Com'g. A. R. Adm’! D. D. PortTER, Com’g Miss.

EXPLOIT OF OUR GUNBOATS ON THE RAP- VAHANNOCK—DESTRUCTION OF GRAIN. ‘The gunboats of the Potemac fiptilla now on the Rappahannock, under the command of Capt. Samuel Magaw, have lately made several expeditions, some of them with very important results. Afew days since several of the gunboats steamed up to the town of Tappahannock, where there was a strong rebel cavalry picket, which was shelled out, and some of our men were landed, and they destroyed about 20,000 brahels of grain which was stored there. A porty was cent ashore one night near Urbana, and came off witha quantity of goods intended fcr the rebels. They brought off also a couple of secesh flags as trophies. 108 CONTRABANDS CAPTURED BY COLONEL KILPATRICK, ‘We.jearn that the number of contrabands Lrougkt off by Col.

LOCAL NEWS. ————— A COLORED SoLpizR IN TROUBLE.—Yoster- day “afternoon considerable excitement was raised in the neighborhood of the Northern Market by a muse between Wm. James, one of the first regiment D. ©. Colored volun- teers, and several white soldiers and citizens, during which the colored man was used pretty roughly. There are two versions of the affair, one of which is: that a white soldier met James and asked him what he was doing with the uniform on, when he replied with a curt an- swer and afterwards struck the white soldier, and the crowd at once jumped on him; but he managed to get hold of a hatchet, with which he was about to defend himself when he was arrested. Another story is, thata white man named Truman Drummond met Jamesand de- manded him to take the scales off of hts shoul- ders, which he refused to do, and D. struck him with a stick, while another man used a brick.
