■WEDNESDAY, JULY 8,1803.
THE KBITS.
Vicksburg has fallen. We write it at
the outset with an almost distrustful mar
vel at the celerity in transmission of the
news, by steamer six hundred miles up
stream In less than three days at a low
stage of the Mississippi. But Admiral
Porter has such a knack of sending dis
patches that it almost serais as if he had
done nothing else all his life, and the fact
is received and endorsed in official
cial circles, and made nnco tri
able among the people by rejoicings such
as this war has not before seen. Else
where we give the dispatches as received,
the basis being the sole dispatch of Admi
ral Porter, forwarded by the swift steamer
Wilson. No particulars have yet come to
hand. We give elsewhere a compilation
of the previous operations and campaigns
againstVicksburg,’which will appropriately
accompany the brief official announce
ment of the grand finale. The foil
of Vicksburg releases a large part of Gen.
Grant's army to aid Gen. Banks at Port
Hudson. It will stand as the most impor
tant event of the war in the Southwest. It
is the loosing of the main knot that the
rebellion tied in the Mississippi. A short
nndjleescr struggle yet to come, and the
Father of Waters is again free from 6L
Paul to the Delta. The excitement and
joy of the people knows no bounds. It is
shown in our dispatches elsewhere
which fairly throb with excitement Gen.
Grant and his heroes were on every tongue.
The public rejoicing found vent in the
booming of cannon, the ringing of bells,
the blaze and glare of fireworks and bon
fires, the strains of martial music, in
speeches, in songs, in general jubilation
everywhere. There is enough left to serve
tip to-morrow, when the news comes to
hand in detail. Meanwhile, Copperheads
and Gold went down together—not that
they have any other resemblance to the
precious metal, than that of rising and fall
ing with the prospects of our national
safety.
TLe situation in the East, and we may
now to say Maryland instead of
Fcn&ylvania, is that Lee, with his scared
army, was in full retreat, hag reached the
Potomac at ‘Williamsport, and the num
ber he will save of them depends upon the
celerity of our forces in closing in upon
him. The dispatches indicate that no
lime is being lost In so doing. A great
battle is rumored to have been in progress
yesterday.
“The Fourth of July'was observed at
Helena, Arkansas, where Gen. Prentiss
commands, by a grand combined attack of
the rebels upon that post The fighting
was heavy, the situation at one time criti
cal, and the final result entirely glorious.
Our news is very full and circumetantial.
The news from Minnesota is highly im
portant. One feature we are not quite
ready to endorse. The twenty-five dollar
bounty on Indian scalps would look better
offered by tbc red sldns thcmsducs whose
warfare it little becomes us to imitate.
While men in Minnesota stringing dead
Indians scalps for a tally at the Adjutant
General's office, is not well or wisely Inau
gurated. Shoot the miscreants, hunt them
to their holes. Let every squaw’s son of
them be bored through with a Mime, but
scalping knives and tomahawks should
pass away with the red-men.
It is now authoritatively denied that
Louis Kapolcon has renewed his proposals
to the English Government for Interven
tion in our affairs. Things look that way
undoubtedly, but no such step has yetbeen
taken. Kapolcon is willing but he is also
cautious.

rXRST DISPATCH.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
Cairo, July 7—9 a. m—1853.
We have good news from Helena by the
steamer Silver Moon, this morning. It seems
that at 8 o’clock on the morning of the 4th,
the rebel General Price, with a command said
to number over 8,000 under Marmadnke and
Holmes, made a furious and premeditated
attack upon Helena, where Gen. Prentiss was
Intrenched, with some 5,000 Illinois, Indiana
and Wisconsin troops. The rebels came
sweeping in, apparently perfectly satisfied
that they had but to open upon ns to ensure
au easy victory, but they reckoned without
ihclr host.
Prentiss was ready for them. A fight ensued
which lasted some hoars, the llttic garrison
maintiunlulng Its ground bravely and success
fully. Presently a force of about 1,039 rebels
found entrance to ourworks, and cat o3* from
support, went In to ocenpy Helena. They
weie quickly closed upon by a determine!
force of onr Western boys, and nearly every
man of them captured, killed or wounded.
Following up this success with rapidity,
Price and Ms remaining force were finally
driven off with considerable slaughter.
Gen. Prentiss estimates our loss at about
ICO killed and wounded. The rebel loss is
not known, but it is admitted by prisoners,
to be severe.
The Silver Moon "brought up 720 Confeder
ate prisoners, being those taken at Helena on
the 4th. Among them arc sixty line and field
officers. More particulars soon.
SECOND DISPATCH.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
Caibo, July 7,18C3,
I sent yon a dispatch this morning, briefly
announcing that Gen. Prentiss had a fight at
Helena, Ark., on the* 4th, and Ids success in
beating off the rebels and capturing over 700
ofibeir men and officers.
Since then the following particulars hive
been gathered from officers In command, and
reports of rebel officers now here on the
steamer Silver Moon, en route for St. Louis.
As before related, the fight opened at three
o'clock in the morning on Saturday, the 4th
Inst. by the rebels attacking us In our center
with great force under McCray and Parsons
Pagan being on the right and Marmadukc on
the left; all under General Holmes, General
Price having only a brigade.
The rebel center was partially successful in
carrying two redoubts and capturing their
guns,but in doing so, being unsupported by
Marmadukc and Fagan, they fonnd them
selves suddenly In a very bad situation, being
covered by an enfilading lire from the re
mainder of the Union works, and subjected
to a brisk and most fatal cross-lire of musket
ry on all sides.
Parsons and McCray's men stood this as
long as possible, when seeing no way to es
cape, their men being slain by scores, they
surrendered, and were at once sent to the
Federal rear under proper guards. The same
movement was attempted by Price and
Mam&dukc, but with belter success, as
they did not penetrate our lines, hence they
escaped being gobbled up, but the heavy fire
of big guns, and steady volleys of musketry
continually poured upon them was mqre
than they could stand, and they beat a re
treat, carrying off the field the most of their
dead and wounded.
General Prentiss was everywhere present,
with sword in urging on and encourag
ing ids men. He was bravely sustained by
his subordinate officers and men, as the reb
el loss in killed, wounded and prisoners,
over 1,000, sufficiently testify.
Our loss in killed and wounded Is about one
hundred. Tee rebel officers pretend to Sjj
that they captured and carried off one entire
regiment, but if so, It hud not been officially
reported when the steamer left Helena with
her prisoners.
The rebels must have numbered over ten
thousand. (Sen. Prentiss could not have had
on bnnd, at the time, more than half that
number, though he had more near by, incase
of an emergency. The rebelforces weretrom
Little Bock, Jacksonport, on White Elver,
and other points in Arkansas, and formerly
mostly from Missouri.

Haj. Ges. S. A. Hurlbnt, Commanding ICth Army
Corps:
General—Wc have repulsed the enemy at
every point, and onr soldiers arc now collect
ing their wounded.
Wc have taken in all 12,000 prisoners, and
their loss in killed and wounde will reach 500
or COO; but although-the rebels are badly
whipped, there is no doubt whatever they
will renew the attack at an early moment,
and that they are now mossing their troops
for that purpose. My force is inferior to the
rebels. With the aid I expect from yon and
the gunboats, the rebel a-my may bo severely
beaten. The Tyler has been to-day a valua
ble auxiliary. 1 remain, General your
servant.
B. M. Prentiss, Moj. Gen.
Catuo, July 7. —The rebel loss le estimated
at between 1,500 and 2,000 killed, wounded
and missing. Our own loss is lees than 1,000.
The gunboat Tyler came iu and did good exe
cution. Three other gunboats had arrived,
and all Is safe. It was the rebel intention to
cot our line of communication and demolish
the fortifications. They were foiled.
Gen. Prentiss was aware of the contem
plated attack, and was prepared. He had
about 4,000 men, in which lowa, Indiana,
Wisconsin and Missouri were represented.
He was also assisted by the gunboat Tyler and
three other gunboats, which arrived about the
time the battle was over.
■ Prisoners say the attack will bo renewed.
The battle commenced at 4 a. m,, and contin
ued until 10 a. m. The rebel loss is not less
than 1,500 in killed, wounded and prisoners.
The entire Federal loss will not exceed 100.
Gen. Prentiss is confident that he can repel
any assault that may be made. It is now
thought that tho rebel depredations near
Rake Providence was to draw 1 ourgnnboatsto
that point, and thas give them abetter oppor
tunity at Helena,

SECOND DISPATCH.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
Caiuo, J nly 7—lop, m.—lSs3.
There is nothing later from Vicksburg. In
fact, nothing may be expected for a day or
two, as the steamer V. F. Wilspn is a very
Hist boat, and came from below without stop*
ping, at the top of her speed, to bring tho
news to the Navy Department.
The city of Cairo is all turned into the
streets to-night, to pass congratulations and
celebrate the glorious event of the capture of
Vicksburg. Almost every building upon the
Ohio levee, from Ft. Cairo to the city’s north
ern limits, is brilliantly illuminated, hung
with American colors and tri-colored lanterns.
A band played national and patriotic airs be
fore Gen. Buford’s headquarters, which bond
ing is beautifully decorated with flags, .and
also brightly illuminated.
In fact, it is impossible to repress the en
thusiasm of the people.
An order has been Issued by Gen, Boford
and Capt. Pcnnock, to fire a salute of thirty,
five guns at noon to morrow, in further com*
mcmoratlon of the grand event*—the re-open
ing of the Mississippi, at least to Fort Hud
son, by our forces under Gen. Grant.
At a later hour, Gen. Buford was called ont }
and made a short but Idling address, which
was followed by one in a happy vein, by Capt.
Fries and Cob Dougherty. Three cheers were
then given for the armies of Gens. Grant,
Meade and Bosecrans, and the navy under
Porter, after which the crowd dispersed.

LAST DATS OF THE SIEGE.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.}
Ik Bear op Vicksburg,.July 2, J
Via Cairo, July 7. f
A detail of 70 men dally, from the 2d Brig
ade, Steele's Division,'have been engaged*
working under direction of Major Warner, of
the 76th Ohio, In getting off the guns from
the sunken gnnboat Cincinnati. They have
so far recovered two 61 pounders, four 83-
pounders, and last night two 80-pound Par
rotts, all inlgood condition. The working
party axe annoyed all the time by the shells of
the rebels, who have point blank range, and
succeed in hitting the gnnboat nearly every
night, while they arc at work on her. There
are seven guns on bpard yet to recover.
The general situation along the lines is un
changed. Fixing about as usual, and no im
portant changes of any kind to note. De
serters, brought in this morning, reiterates
the old stories of short rations and growing
discontent, and say that if Pemberton doe
not soon surrender the place, they will, •
Rebel deserters now begin to tell stones of
mule meat as sole rations, and' those now
coming out have a cadaverous look, making
it probable that the garrison of Vicksburg is
af last in a starving condition.
It is now certain that the rebel General
Mart Green was killed the day wc blew up
Fort QUL The rebel loss on that occasion is
believed to have been nearly 600 killed and
wounded.
An expedition was sent up the river to clear
out the rebels at Cypres Bend, but owing to
the cowardice of the Colonel commanding, it
returned without accomplishing any result.
Colonel L. Klrley Smith lett yesterday for
Fort Hudson, as bearer of dispatches from
Gen. Grant to Gen. Banks.
A small raid was made on MUlikcn's Bend

the rebels succeeded in capturing 170 negroes.

HISTORY. OF THE ATTEMPTS AGAINST
VICKSBURG.
It will be of interest to draw up in order
the several movements against this rebel
stronghold. They have come from two direc
tions above and below. Gen. Grant who suc
ceeded Gen. Prentiss in command at Cairo,
(late in 1601} had no sooner massed a suffici
ent force there than he set out upon the work
of crushing the rebellion- in the South-West.
Associated permanently with Gen. Grant In
these operations the lamented Admiral, then
Commodore Foote, bore a shining part. Tho
events that followed in their order were as
follows:

GEN. GRANT PALLS AT WORK.
The arrival of General Grant with a large
reinforcement brought up the number and
morale of oar troops before Vicksburg, aud
tbc great undertaking was fairly under way.
Its several epochs must be' already fam nifty to
our readers. The place had become immense
ly strong. Its powerful batteries swept tbe
river with missiles ol the deadliest construc
tion. The first essays of the campaign were
expended in canals and ent-ofis. It was sought,
as indeed it was attempted in the former siege
in 1862, to cut oil Vicksburg by a canal across
the peninsula opposite. TheTSUlslsslppi re
fused to be a party to such a scheme, .or to
any other of like character, for there were
several. Finally, when some threo months
had been expended In tho attempt to cut ca
nals and explore passes to get our troops into
position against the city, General Grant gave
up the “pass system” and purchased his ticket
with nard fighting.
Midsummer of lost year saw our forces re
tire from beiorc Vicksburg, the first move
ment, ah exclusively naval one, being unsuc
cessful. Our land forces were at that time
being sent np the Cumberland and Tennessee
Divers and mossing in great force to oppose
the,rebel army in Northern cam
paign which gave us Corinth as its main bat
tle on the 3d.and4thof October, but as its
general result sow the rebels driven back aud
dispossessed of their points of occupationin
Western Tennessee.
TII£TALLAHATCHIE EXPEDITION,
From the base so gained, Gen. Grant lathe
month of November,having suceeded General
Halleckin command, began his first move
ment into Mississippi by pressing for
ward to the Tallahatchie River, the farthest.
Southern point reached being Coffeevillc, in
Tallabusha county, where on engagement
cavalry took place on the sth of December.
The enemy, however,menaced General Grant's
communications seriously, and actually cap
tured Holly Springs, his military depot, on
December the 20th. Grant thereupon recalled
his troops and moved back to Memphis,where
he took steamers and moved down the liver
early in January of the present year. It was
high time he was there, for . already cad
transpired the melancholy misadventure of
OEX. EHEBMAN'S ATTACK OX VICKSBUEO.
Tho expedition, under the immediate com
mand of Gen. W. T. Sherman, redezvoused at
Memphis and Helena, and set out on its pass
age down the river oh the Slst oi December;
passing down the Mississippi, it entered the
Yazoo, which empties, into the Mississippi
about ten miles above Vicksburg, on the 26th,
The design was to attack the city from
the rear. Our troops advanced, but found
the rear of the town strongly fortified.
Severe fighting took place on the three fol
lowing days, our troops forcing their way to
within two miles of the city. The enemy in
the meanwhilehavingreceived large reinforce
ments, made & determined attack upon our
troops, forced them from the positions which
they had won, andbn Tuesday” tho 30th, we
occupied just the position of Saturday,' The
fieettook little part in the operations. The
gunboat Benton engaged a battery on the riv
er, but after an hour’s action was hauled ofi;
having received some damage. Commodore
Gwin, her commander, was mortally wound-

IMPORTANT PRASE OF THE
Overtures from the Rebel Capital
President Lincoln Declines to Re
ceive the Commissioners.
New Tobe, July 7.—A special to the
Jltrald says:
The following facts arc obtained from a
source which guarantees their correctness.
The statement may be relied upon as strictly
true:
Saturday, July 4th, the rebel gunboat
Dragon came dawn tho Jamcs-Bivcr.with-a
flag of truce. Acting Rear Admiral Leo
tent up an officer to meet It, when it was
ascertained that Alex. H. Stephens and Com*
tnlssloner Onld were on board. They rep
resented that they were bearers of an Impor
tant letter from JeficreonDavls, Commander-
In-Chief ot the Army and Navy of the Con
federate States, to Abraham Lincoln, Com
mander-In-Chief of tho Army and Navy of tho
United States, and requested permission to
proceed to 'Washington In the Dragon, aud
present the President Lincoln in per
son. They declined to reveal anything fur
ther In relation to their mission. Admiral
Lee,'of course, had no authority to grant their
request, and they consented to wait Until he
could-commanlcate with Washington and re
ceive Instructions. lie accordingly tele
graphed the facts and requested instructions.
This morning a special Cabinet meeting was
called to consider the matter of granting the
request. It involved many delicate and Im
portant questions, as such a proceeding might
be construed Into an acknowledgment of the
nationality of the pretended Confeder
ate Government, and after all, the mat
ter might ba “some comparatively unim
portant aflalr, such as the employment of
negro troops. No decision was arrived at,
and the Cabinet meeting accordingly adjourn,
cd until to-morrow, and Admiral Leo was la
Etructcdto ascertain, if possible, tho object
of the mission. In the meantime, however,
the tug containing the rebel embassadors had
tnrncd about and steamed up the river, with
out any parting salutation or explanation, and
thus ended the mission.

A gentleman just arrived from Richmond,
who left day before yesterday, says great con
sternation prevailed there. The defences are
occupied chiefly by armed citizens, and fears
arc entertained that Lee will bs cut off and
Richmond captured before an army can bo
concentrated there.
July 7.—The President has
decided that the application of Stephens and
Ould lor a personal interview could not be
granted, end that the communication must
be received through the ordinary channels.
FROM ST. PAUL.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
St. Paul, Minn., July 7,1563.
Indian camps are to bo seen in Hennepin
county, and a email party were discovered
last Friday, eight miles from Minneapolis and
eighteen from St. Paul. * They have no con
siderable force, but, nevertheless, excite great
apprehension, and there is danger of another
stampede of settlers similar to last year.
They did not approach so near us during
the raid last summer.
Details of the Indian murders, mentioned
in my dispatch of the Bd, show they were at
tended with the usual barbarity. In view ol
these outrages and the increasing, excitement,
Adjutant Gen. Malmroos has issued an order,
to-doy, calling sixty days volunteers to hunt
Indians. They are to bo divided into sqnads
cf not less than five, and aro to operate on
their own hook, each man arming and' sab
'shting himself. They receive $1.50 a day.
Gen. Malmroos also offers a bounty of $25 for
each scalp of a male Sioux, delivered at his
office.
Our army is plodding over the plains where
there arc no Indians, and this is considered
necessary to protect the country in their rear.
TEE GREAT SCARE AT
LOI^STTLLE.
Its Origin, Beginning and Bad.
Louisville, Ky., July 7.—The excitement
which prevailed here last evening and cul
minated in turning a large- portion of our
population into the streets, between 13 and
1 o’clock this morning, was occasioned by
the firing of cannon, at Jeffersonville, ou the
Indiana shore, about midnight, by order of
AdjntantGcneralNoblc,who withoutprevions
consultation with the authorities took this
means to arouse the Indiana Legion, whose
cervices it was thought would bo immediate
ly required. Tub reverberations from these
cannon echoing from the walls of oarcity and
the trees sooth of it impressed our people
with the idea that an artillery conflict was pro
gicsfclbgbetweenMorgan’s forces ondour own
a short distance south of.the city.
During last evening rumors prevaHad of an
advance of Morgan’sTorces to Sheppardsville.
These rumors could not bo traced to any au
thentic source, hut telegraph communication
between here and Sheppardsville ceasing at 0
o’clock, the excitement became" intensified
and continued through the night.
All is quiet this morning. Probably none
of Morgan’s force havebeezx this "Side of Bards
town and are now said to be retreating.

meet Meade somewhere between Hagerstown
and the Potomac, probably at ‘Williamsport,
five miles from Hagerstown.
a number of volunteer, sur
geons, and supplies for the wounded, started
for the battle-field last night.
The advance of the Pennsylvania militia,
under Smith, is hailed by Meade as auspicious
for the final success of his army. Many ot
them have already sccu service.
It Is thought, however, that the rebel army
will escape.
Haßiasccno, July 7—C p. m.—lnformation
received here, proves beyond a doubt tho
continued retreat of the rebels towards Ha
gerstown and Williamsport, with tho inten
tion of crossing the Potomac.
Their wagon trains are all in front,and are
being ferried across slowly In two fiat boats.
The Potomac is very high and full, and they
cannot cross, their only pontoon bridge
having been destroyed.
A large force of infantry prevented the cap
ture of Williamsport, by Gen. Buford, with
bis cavalry.
Our army is fast following them up.
A great battle will bo fought before- they

is impossible, with the present stage of water
The rebel troops are in a state of great des
titution. Their ammunition is almost ex
hausted, yet they will make a stand some
where on the Potomac.
The present movements of Meade are ener
getic and comprehensive, and look to the to
tal annihilation of the rebel force. ThoASth
Army Corps, undaunted by its heavy losses at
Gettysburg, is already "on the march, and
will probably succeed In cutting off Lee’s re
treat.
