Cannonading at intervals during the dey, and constant and coatinual friag by our akirmishern whenever any attempt is made to wark the rebel guns, constitute the sum total of military movements. Orders were received late last evening to be ready at six o’ciock this morning to bombard the city. Accord- ingly at that hour every gun along the line was in position, and opened upon the unfortunate city. Fora fall hour @ tremendous cannonade was kept up, the object at which it was directed being the Court House and vi- ity. Tt is impossible to convey anything like an ade. quate idea of the demonstration. It is imporsitge that one bundred and fifty guns, ell raining at the same mo- ‘ment a terrific storm of fire upoa the beleaguered garrison, and all concentrating their efforts in one locality, have failed to produce important results. The next intelli- gence from Vicksburg will be awaited with considerable anxiety.
