General Rosecrans’ des- patches to the War Department, also yesterday, relates the arrest and execution of two rebel offi- cera who entered his lines as spies, but says noth- ing of the story aboufthe capture of Vicksburg. Our special correspondence from Walnut Hills, iu the veav of Vicksburg, and other points in that vicinity, gives a fine description of the opening of the bombardment on the city. and the desperate attack on the enemy’s works which preceded it. Admiral Porter sends an official despatch to the Navy Department recounting the particulars of | the destruction of the Navy Yard-and other rebel property on the Yazoo river. ‘Tho map which we give to-day-of the . fortifica- tows around Vicksburg, and the positions of the Union army now investing it, will prove of great vaiuo to-our readers. i / ‘The rebel army om the south side of the Rappa- haunock preserve @ state of continual activity, and our own is not lessactive, although the precise objects of either are not known, nor, s0 far, quite latelligible.

Gen, Banks officially reports the loss in his army up to the 30th ult. to be nearly 1,000, including some of his ablest officers. He speaks very high- | ly of the conduct of the negro troops. .

But the facts which estab- | lish this’ resalt also bear testimony to the undaiinted bravery und unquenchable Patriotism of the Mexicans. They only surrendered when starvation compelled them, and even then many of the officers shot themselves, rather than become prisoners to the invaders. On the 17th of May General Forey sent a flag of truce to General | Ortega, offering to allow the Mexican officers and soldiers to march out, the officers with their side arms, providing they would give a parole not to ferro against thé French again. This offer was refused by General Ortega, who meanwhile Bpiked his cannon, burned his gun carriages, Bostroyed the arme of his infantry, and then sur- fendered his forces ae prisoners of war.

The Democratic State Convention of Ohio will be held to-morrow iu the city of Columbus, The only doctrine annunciated in the ofticiul cai! is “the Union as it was.wnd the constitution as it is.” Candidates for the offices of Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Auditor of State, Treasurer, a Judge of the-Suprenie Court and members of the Board of Public Works are to be nominated. The most prominent candidate for, the Execntive. chair is Clement 1. Vallandigham, and it is said that his nomination is almost certal ut there is another class of less radical democrats, who will oppose the distinguished exile, and attempt to force Gen, McClellaw upon the Convention, although it is well known that, even if nominated, he would not con- sentto run, Vallandigham announced, some months ago, that he would claim the nomination, and his friends-are now determined that he shall have it. If he succeeds in the Convention he will probably be elected, unless the party should become divid- ed in consequence. A fire occurred at an early hour yesterday morning in the frame tenement building No. 15 Baxter street. The house was inhabited by a number of poor people, of whom three women and a child were burned to death. An inquest in the case was held by Coroner Wildey; but the testimony failed to clear up the mystery as to the origin of the fire. Some of the inmates of the place, it appears, retired on the previous evening strongly under the infinence of spiritous liquors, and thi« probably had something to do in bringing about théMelancholy occurrence. At the meeting’ of the Board of Supervisors yesterday, a veto message from the Mayor was re- ceived against the payment of sundry bills for work on the new Court House, amounting inthe ag- gregate to $7,699 2X, because the bills were not propertly certified: and a second message from the shals of the city, was received, and the nomina- tomewas confirmed.

From all the information in our possession, from Union and from rebel sources, we oon- sider the fall of Vickeburg inevitable, that there is no earthly chance of escape for it, and that in all prebability before the expiration of the present week we shall have the news of tho im- pending capitulation. The army of General Grant bad been heavily reinforced, and reinforcements were atill com- ing down. His besieging columns are strongly intrenohed in a semicirclé of only six miles long, enclosing the city and the rebel garrison. Tho gunboats of Admiral Porter hold the river front, 40 that nothing can get in and nothing can get out on any side without the consent of the bosioging forces. The Mfteen days at the end of which Pemberton had been promised assistance from Joe Johnsten had expired; but instead of coming to the rescue Johnston was fortifying himself at Jackson city. He is rep- resented as destitute of artillery, which is very likely from the extensive captures of those important engines of war made by our forces vit their ‘late victorious march by way of Backdon to Vicksburg. He is fortitying himself because, with the apprehensions of an expe- perience soldier, he thinks it not improbable that on some fine morning a portion’ of Grant's army may be found ‘‘moving upon his works.” He knows, too, that, with tho fall of Vickeburg, Mobile will be in imminent danger; and so we dare say that, as much as for any other purpose, Johnston is mustering an army for the defence of Mobile, = The condition of things at Port Hudson at our last accounts was aa encouraging as at Vicksburg. Independently of the other, each of these places is destined to fall; but. the fall. of either place immediately secures the other. What then? Why, then; with the com- plete expulsion of the rebels from the Missis- sippi river, with the loas of their two veteran armies defending Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and all their artillery and materials of war, the results will involve the subjugation of bne-half the existing territorial area of the rebellion, and such a demoralization of the other half that a, draft nlay not be needed to finish the war. We yepeat it, that, from the present aspoct of things in the Southwest, a draft may not be needed to finféb the war. We may be mistaken; but at length it appears to us that we are near the end of this terrible struggle, and that the peace party will soon absorb all other parties, North and South.’ bs Governor Brown, of Georgia, understands the matter, In a recent call upon the people of that State for the organization of bodies of troops in every connty for home defence he says: “If the enemy be’ successful in overrunning Mississippi and Alabama the State of Georgia. canbe taken in flank; and we shall be open to serions and dangerous attack. Heretofore the din of battle has been heard in the distance, and bas been echoed among us only in the heaving bosoms of the bereaved. Now the thunders are rolling towards our borders, and the storm threatens to burst with fery upon our heads.” He snuffs the danger at Vicksburg, the loss of which uncovers, not only the weak flank of Alsbama and Georgia, but of every Tebellious State, from the Mississippi to the James river. Hence every man capable of bearing arms in Georgia is called to arms, not only to prevent invasion, but “to roll back the tide of war from her borders.” But where fs the of Bragg? It is under the eye of Rosecrans. cannot move to the relief of Pemberton without uncovering East Tennessee and its vital communications with Richmogd, and ft igsome four hundred miles from Tullahoma to burg, with the only convenient railway lines between broken up or in the possession of the Union forces. But has not General Lee, in all probability, sent some assistance to Joe Johnston? On the contrary, @ recent passenger from Richmond reports that he saw there twenty regiments pasaing through towards the Rappahannock. If there be any truth in this report, thé design of Lee is evidently the desperate game of a bold dash for the reparation ofall losses in the capture of Washington. As. matters now stand the prize in view may be deemed by him as» worth the experiment. There ap- pears now, in fact, to be no other chance for the safety of Richmond or Jef, Davix. Let } General Halleck, therefore, keep a sharp eye upon General Hooker, or he may find the srmy obdwee where he least expects.it while search- ing for it on the other side of the river.
