WHY VICKSBURG PID NOT FIRE ON VRSSrLA. Vicksburg had not complete® her defences before the blockade was established at Memphis and Columbus, énd it became unnoceasary for her to mike demonstrations of hostility against the weak and unarmed. Until ths attack by the boats from below the guns ef the Vicks- burg fortifications had ample opportunity for rusting in idleness. ‘WHY THE FLESTS DIV WoT MAKE A DIRECT ATTACK LAST WHER, ‘When Commodore Farragut’s fleet arrived here last ‘week it was found that the defences hai been groatly strengthened, and that a direct attack by the gunboats would be attended with considerable loss. As a bombard: ment would be likely to consume considerabis time, and as neither Commodore Farragut nor Commodore Porter wished to remain long with their flects beturs Vicksburg, it was decided to make an attack on Saturday morning. TEE MORTAR BOATS OPEN FIRE. At dawn of the 28th of June the mortar boats opence and the gunboats moved forward and commenced fring upon the rebel batterion. It was the design for the Doats to lie off in front of the batteries and continue to pour in shot and shell until the latter shoul! strike their fings and give up the contest, but the rebc! fire was found too hot; and while some of the national vessels dropped below to their ola anchorage the others ran above. The Richmond, Hartford and Iroquois steam sloops-of-war, and four of the smaller gunboats, passed above and were at anchor in the river at the time Commodore Davis’ flotilla arrived from above. Tho particulars of the action of Saturday, together with the losa, had been alreaty forwarded at the time J arrived, and] will not trouble you with @ repetition, The attach was unsuccessfal ar far ag the reduction of the place is concerned, and the slower work of bombardmant will have to be carried on LOCATION OF ViOr RT aa, ‘The city of Vicksburg is situated on the Walnut Mills aw range of wooded gummita about foar hundred feet high, and presents @ fine appoarance when viewed from below.
