We take the following items from Ithe La. Iaptist : T''hings remain in statu quoat Vicks burg. We believe the Yankees have about abandoned all hope of taking thle city.

N'o prominent Confederate o.i1evr was killed yesterday. It seems we are blest or cursed with a set of the most incompetent men in our naval department, that ever dis graced any.government. The last act of Vandalism is the burning of our gunboats in the Yazoo river. Two of the enemy's gunboats went up the Yazoo as high as Liverpool on the 26th of June, and saw our thre' gunboats-Livingston, Polk and Van Dorn on fire and they immediatelyre turned and well they may, as ourefli-, cers are doing the work of our owneIe struction, so far as they have power. This was the act of Commodore Pinck ney, who will undoubtedly be laid ot the shelf with Hollins and Tatrnal. He destroyed everything with these boats-clothing of the crew, provi sions, small boats, smaill arms, chains and anchors, from which ouroew iron clad boat, the Arkansas, expected to supply herself.
