[I' rom a War Time Photograp h.] low Vicksburg through Louisiana , by wny of New Carthago and Richmond. R.tch- moud was not far from Young ' s Point , Grant ' s bcadquartcrs , oa tho Louisiana shore. New Carthago was on tho samo shore of tho av Mississipp I , Mow Vichsburp. With Xew Carthage as a starting point , Grant thought to cross tlie river and get a hold upon Grand Gulf or Warreuton. His supp lies were nt Milliken ' s Bend , ten miles Q I JOVO Young ' s Point , so ho determined to move troops down to Now Carthago from there. Troops wero set to vrnr ' ,: to dig a canal from DucUport , near Young ' s Point , to con- nect with a chain of bayous that ran from Milliken ' s Mend to New Carthage. By means of this canal it was thoug ht possible to util- izo tho bayou for small boat.; tu transport troops and supplies. (. ::• ;;:. ! ., followed up his now plan with great ti.ity. When llie water subsided it * . . iura n geil to make roads nnd bridges , un.! transport troops b y land. Thus , partly by water , partly b y land . :w, (.00 troops wero to bo assembled at Xew Carl huge. < tstcrhaus 1 tlivision of MeC'lernaiid' s corps made tho (ti-st ndvuucc down tlie river , closely followed b y IJcI'lierson ' s corps . Hut it wus found that tho nrtiflcial water route was not even \barely pracl icahle. * .So it wus abandoned and the troops advanced by land. McClernand found Xew Carthago littlo else than an island iu tho midst of overflowed lands, lie therefore put in order a new round- about road leading to Perkiu ' s p lantation , BO ven miles below Now Carthage , and con- siderably nea rer to (.rand Gulf , Mi- - - . The order tu move down from Milliken ' s Head to New Carthago hud b<vn given by Grant April ' 2' . * , and by AprM27 MeClornaud* s corps wns tit lY*r.:iu\s phmtation , seven miles below New ( Inrthago , on the river. While McClernand was operating below Vicksbu rg, Steele ' s division of IS her man ' s corps hud liecn .sent to make a demonstration along Deer Creek to Rolling Fork , to destroy supplies and divert the attention of the Con- federate. *; from tho real point of attack . To make tho proposed attack on Grand Gull , the co-operation of tho gunboats was neei'-sa.yy. Accordingl y, on thu night of April It' , \ Admira l Porter again 11111 the bat- teries at Vicksburg. At 10 o ' clock iho Union fleet started on its perilous voyage. The flagshi p Benton led , with Admiral porter on board. Following came the La- fayette , Louisville , Mound City, Pittsburg, n.!' .il tho well known Carondelet. Next eamo three transports laden with supp lies nnd am- munition. Cotton bales were piled high nn>ii 1 id thoir guards amidships . The coa l for BELOW vicKsnuno, uso of the licet waa carried in barges lashed to eacji vessel Of courso tbo fleet could not pass uadiscov- ei-ed. A littlo after 11 o ' clock tho Benton came within range of Vicksburg. Instantly thero shot up all along tho shore great lines of prepared torches. From all tho batteries within nmgo came blinding Hashes and n thundering roar. The gunboats rep lied with a broadside . The procession was nn hour and it half under fire , ono vessel passing out of rango of the batteries ns another came within. At \Warrenton , seven miles below , the sceno was briefly repeated. The Union fleet reached New Carthage at 2 o ' clock , having J-ist one transport. April 'Jo Grant moved his headquarters to a point near Xew Carthage. Jt was dcter- termlned first to attack Grand Gulf , a river village , twei^v-flvo miles below Vicksburg and ono mite below tlio mouth of Big Black river , shortly to bo tho scene of such exciting events, lint New Carthago wus not near enough to Grand Gulf to opcrato from suc- cessfully. Hard Times , a village several miles I JO I O . T Xew Carthago , was therefore se- lected as tho starting point AprilSS McClernand s corp 9 > fourdivtsiora , •Baraa moved down on transports to Hard Times. ilcPhcrson s corps -was coming by land. Tbe gunboats wero to attack Grand Gulf first , silencing its batteries. Then tho land forces were to cross the river and rush in and carry the p lace by assault. April 29 the grand attack was made. At this time thero were in Vicksburg and its vicinity more than 00 ,000 Confederate troops. The defenses proper extended from Haines Bluff , uear tho Yazoo river , on tho Confederate right , to Grand Gulf. They w-ero manned by 22 , 000 men , under Gen. C. L. Stevenson. Back somewhat iu the in- terior , at and near Fort Peraberton , wero 7 , 000 under command of Gen. Loring. Five thou- sand more guarded tin, MnmnhiS and Corinth railroad , to GEN . SI ' CLKU.\A.VD . tho north , while 200 miles down tho river , at Port Hudson , were nearl y 17 , 000 more , under Gen. Gardner. At G rand Gulf proper wero 2 , 500 Confed- erates , in charge of Bri g. Gen. J . & B owen. \When McClernand advanced first to Xew Carthago ho had a sli ght skirmish with a bod y of Confederate cavalry. Gen. Bowen had sent three reg iments across the river to see what tho Union troop-; were about iu tho vicinity of Xew Carthage , on their first ad- vance to that point. But the movement waa not considered of much importance. Pem- bcrton ' s attention was directed nt thnt timo Jo the Polling Fork movement of Sherman ' s corps abovo Vicksburg, previousl y men- tioned. For onco Grant was able to deceive tho Confederates. The attack on Grand Gulf was a surprise to Gen. Pemberton. Ilo had the impression that Grant was returning to Memphis , to work down upon Vicksburg iu tho rear. On this supposition Pemberton had sent word toGen. Joe Johnston at Chattanooga , and Johnston had ordered bim to send troop* GE.V. LLOYD TIf.0n.UAN. muve(1 from Jact. sou. Affairs began to look serious down tho river. Pemberton himself waa nt this time nt Jackson , fifty miles inland from Vicks- burg. There w . -is hurried prcparaiinn in tho Con- federate- camps about Vicksburg, after Por- ter ' s fleet bad passed tho batteries . Green ' s brigade was ordered to GrandjGulf. nnd I -owou ' s reg iments west of the Mississippi wero hurried back to the same p lace , Tho troops * thai, had gono to Chattanooga were sent again to Vicksburg. lint there was little cavalry nt Pcnibcrton ' s command , and this embarrassed him scri- nusly. lt was at this time , frum April 17 to May 2 , that \Ben. Grierson \ made his famota and destructive raid from north to south through tho state of Mississippi. there. Pemberton had actually put en route fc> , <>00 men , Buford' s , Vaughn ' s and Tilghman ' s brigades. A pril 15 , Pem- berton discovered hia grave mistake, Buford' s force was alread y far on tho rottd , bnt Vaughn* . ** and Tilghmti n ' s bri gades , 8 , 000 strong, wero not moved from Jact- GRAND GULF AND POF.T GIBSON. Ro many mm-Ts were afloat in this part of tho Confederacy during tho last days of A pril aliout Grierson and his raiders , that Pemberton was obli ged to sond troops from tbo vicinity of Vicksburg nnil Grand Gulf in all directions after him. Tlnsaided in d raw- ing attention from Grant' s movements at Grand Uulf. April 21) , tho great day of attack came. Porter , with six gunboats , led t!.o advance. Behind him , and out of range above , wer-a thu land forces , loaded upoa steamboats , flat- boats , scows and all manner of water ve- hicles, Jn tho middloof the river was Grant himself , ou a tug, directing movements both above and liclow . Porter opened a tremendous cannonade on tho Grand Gulf batteries and kept it up from y a. in. till afternoon. By that time the bat- teries wero silenced for tho time , but Porter ' s loss , though small , was greater than that of tho Confederate. - , Tho flagship Benton lost tweuty-six men. At 2 in tho afternoon . Porter drew off his fleet. - McClernand landed his corps at Hard Times , nail marched them inland down tho river , crossing to tho Mississippi bank again at Do Shi'bon ' s plantation, three miles below Hard Times , nnd still further below Grand Gulf. At dark Porter opened on tho Grand Gulf batteries again , and while ho engaged their attention thn transports slipped by, ami went safe Dclow Grand Gulf , to De Shroon ' s . Grant ' s army was now below Vicks- burg. Ilia objec- tive point was Port Gibson , a few miles inland , and a little southeast of Grand Gulf. During tho night a negro informed Grant that fivo ., , ^ prrTT miles below Do colL 3AaKS A ' GRKI:I1 \ Shroon ' s , on Ibe opposite side , nt a little p laco called Bruinsburg, there was a landing plnco for tho fleet and transports. From Bruins- burg a gootl road Ial to Port Gibson. Grant trusted and benefited by this infor- mation. By noon of April - 'W , McClernand' s whole corps , IS , 000 men , was on Mississipp i soil . At 4 o ' clock McClermmd' s four divis- ions wero on their way to Port Gibson , four- teen miles distant. At 1 o ' clock in tho morning McCleruand' s advance , under Gen . Carr, v- ' * ™ within four miles of Port Gibson. Hero thero was a - .li ght skirmish with some Confederate troops , who withdrew . The Union soldiers then lay down upon the ground , armed as they Wero , to rest till daybreak. The tide in tho fate of Vicksburg bad turned. Pemberton , nt Jackson , heard of tho bombardment of Grand Gulf , April 20 , b y telegraph. Then tho telegrap h wires re- fused to work. On tho height of Vicksburg, at Haines Bl uff , a division of Sherman ' s corps , with eig ht gun- boats, was making n lively demonstra- tion.

Tbo first sun rays of May 1 fell on g listen- ing lines of Confederates , drawn up across tho Port Gibson road , to oppose tho advance of tho Union divisions. All four of them , Carr ' s , Ostcrhaus ' , Hovey ' s and A. J, Smith' s , wero read y for fight in tho early morning. Two divisions of McPhcrson ' s corps wero not far behind them. Tho Confederate troops engaged in the bat- tlo of Port Gibson wero Tracy ' s , Green ' s , Baldwin ' s and Cockrell' s brigades. A few miles from Port +**** . m*,^ Gibson tho road leading to that p laco from Bruins- burg branched into two , that sepa- rated , curved about and came together again at Port Gib- son. Across theso roads the Confed- erate Geu. Bowen stretched his few brigades to meet Grant' s 23 , 000 men. Ono of tho roads from Bruinsburg GEX. OSTERTTAL'S, to Port Gibson led north, tho other south. Between r> and 0 in tho morning of May 1 tho battlo was opened on tho northern road b y tho Union troops of Gen. Peter J. Ostcr- haus ' division, Tracy ' s Confederate brigade , aided by Sheldon ' s , replied to Osterhaus ' opening at- tack at Port Gibson with so hot a firo that tho Uuion advance was temporarily checked. Osterhaus led tho extreme left . Carr ' s division was on tho Union rig ht and nd van red b y tho southerly road. Green ' s brigade was posted to meet them. Carr ' s di- vision advanced through tho thickets and broken country in such a way tbat his two brigades (Benton ' s and Stono ' s) became separated b y tho time they eamo faco to faco with Green ' s, Hovey ' s division hastened forward , however , and filled tho gap by 7 a. m. Green ' s bri gade was postod on a ridge , with a well manned battery. Hovey ' s division and Benton ' s brigade as- saulted aud captured this battery and 400 prisoners, Tho main part of Green ' s bri gade , however , fell back on Port Gibson. The Confederate Gen. Bowen had dis- posed his few troops nt various points of danger. Baldwin and Cock- rell with their bri- gades were ordered to Port Gibson. This Cob Cock rell is now United States senator from Missouri. Bowen himself went from G rand Gulf over to Port Gibson early in *-**•*¦ - \ *• * * * ** OVI - v * Ihu .lay. .Hicil Green ' s brigade was driven back , Baldwin ' s , newly arrived , was ordered to take its p lace , in the rear of tho first position. After G ree n ' s brigade was formed again , it was sent over to Tracy on tho Confederate right. Cockrell' s brigade eamo in last , and it was sent partly to Baldwin and partl y to Tracy. Tho second part of tho Port Gibson fi ght took p lace iu the afternoon. Carr ' s and Hovey ' s divisions advanced after capturing tho ridge , aud engaged in a hot fi g ht with Baldwin , who held out a full hour and a half. Then a re-enforcement from A. J. Smith' s division came to strengthen Hovey ' s division and Stone ' s brigade at that point. At sunset Baldwin retreated toward Grand Gulf , burning tho bridge over Bayou Pierre , b y which he crossetL Meantime , on tho extreme Federal ri g ht . Gen. Bowen had endeavored to break the Union lino. Ilo had with him Gen. Cockrell and two regiments. But Ilovey enfiladed tho advancing reg iments from a ridge . Bur- bridge advanced with re-anforcenieuts and Cockrell soon fell back to Baldwin. Tiio only Confederate resistance remaining was that of Tracy on tho rig ht , opposed by the Federal left under Osterhaus. Grant himself bad como upon tho field at 10 o ' clock. Ilo remained with Osterhaus , directing movements there. McPhcrsou and Logan reached tho battlefield about noon , and McFberson with ono brigade re-enforce. .I Osterhaus . McPhcrsou attacked tho Con- federate ri g ht flank and Ostcrhaus bega n again on tbo front. Under this galling firo tho Confederates gavo wny. Gen. Tracy was killed nt tho head of bis brigade. Gen. G reen then took charge and rapidly retreated across Bayou Pierre , beyond Port Gibson , burning bis bridge behind him. Iu this fight the Con- federates had only 8 , 500 men , tho Federals 23 , 000. The Confederates lost , by their re- port , 7S7 , tho Uuion army 8*10. It was now dark. Next morning, May 2 , the Union troops entered Port Gibson. The first step towards tho downfall of Vicksburg was accomp lished. Tho Confederate Gen. Loring , with a con- siderable force , had been sent to Bowon ' s aid at Port Gibson , May 1 , but did not arrive in time. Bowen retreated that night to Grand Gulf , whero Loring met him.

His base was at Grand Gulf. McPherson ' s corps wns at Ilankinson ' s Ferry, on tho Big Black , while McClernand's was at Willow Spring, a few miles east of Grand Gulf. The army waited there three days for Sherman , who with his corps had been sent for from above. Pemberton called urgently now for re-en- forcements for Vicksburg. Walker ' s brigade , •with that of Gist , was sent him i.rom South Carolina. Bragg ftlso sent 3 , 000 cavalry from Tennes- see. All told , in the earl y part of May, Pemberton had at Vicksburg and Jacksou 50 , 000 men, Grant not many moro. Tho railway crossed tho Big Block be- tween Vicksburg and Jackson. Part of th-s Confederate army was at Jackson , part at Vicksburg. Grant' s plan of campaign wns to work carefully along tho east bank of Bi g Black river till ho reached tho railway, then , taking sudden possession of Edwards ' Station , just east of the Big Black , ho would bo between tho two parts of tho Confederate army. Then ho would bo ablo to \beat tho enemy in detail\ Gen. Sherman reached tho Mississippi , op- posite Grand Gulf , May 7. Tho grand ad- vance was mado tho samo day. McPherson led tho right , veering off toward Jackson. McClernand was on tho left , nearer tho Big Black , whilo Sherman closely followed McClernand. FIGHT AT RAYMOND. Grant ordered McPherson to move rapidl y to Raymond , fifteen miles southwest of Jack- son , with which it was connected by n branch railroad, line , and capturo tho Confederate supplies stored thero. At 11 a. m. of May 12 , McPherson ' s corps , Gen. John A. Logan in the advance , ca^e within two miles of Ray- mond and found ' ¦Gregg ' s Confederate brigade , recently at Port Hudson , posted to meet them. Tho fi g ht that followed lasted nearly threo hours , but Crocker ' s division leaving come to tho support of Logan , Gregg finally retreated toward Jackson. Logan ' s loss was 400 , Gregg ' s COO. Logan pursued for somo distance , but ni ght eamo on and he went into camp, with Pta3'mond iu his rear. Sherman and McClernand too had been skirmishing with tho Confederates all day May 13 , ns they advanced along tho Big Block toward Edwards ' Station , and Grant determined to make sure of Jackson beforo attacking Edwards ' Station. Pemberton had divided his available forco into four detachments , under Gens. Bowen , Loring, Stevenson and W. H. T. Walker re- spectively. Walker was at Jackson , tho others were stationed along the road cross- ings and ri ver ferries. Gen. Joo Johnston in Tennessee had tele- graphed Pemberton at Vicksburg: If Grant crosses unito all your forces to boat him. But Pemberton thought ho understood tho situation Ii-etter than Johnston and did not obey. Pemberton thought Grant meant to attack Edwards ' Station , so he ordered Bow- en , Stevenson , and Loring to that point. May I'D Sherman and Mc- Clernand wero within fivo miles of it. Grant , however , true to tho military maxim , \Never do what the enemy ex- GEN - . J OB JOIIXSTOW . what tho enemy ox- pects you to do , \ gathered, up his forco and moved toward Jackson. Jefferson Davis had telegrap hed Joo John- nton to go to Mississippi and tako full com- mand there. Ha did so at once , reaching Jackson May 13. But bo telegrap hed back to Richmond theso simp le words: **I am too lute. \ McPherson next mado for Clinton , a station between Jackscn aud Edwards * Station , McClernand followed him by tho samo road May 14 , whilo Sherman advanced by way of Raymond aud Mississipp i Springs toward Jackson. From Clinton to Jackson was an easy reach for McPherson and McClernand. The objective point in fact was Jackson, nnd Sherman was approaching it by tho Ray- mond road , McPherson b y tho Clinton road. They were timed so as to reach tho cap ital city together. To meet the advancing Union army John- ston , who bad indeed arrived too late , posted Walker ' s brigade on tho Clinton road , G regg ' s on that from Raymond. G regg, who was opposed to Sherman , mado littlo show of fig ht. B y 1 o ' clock May 14 Sbtti-aan hnd displaced Gregg , capturing SoG prisoners , IS guns and valuable supp lies. Gen. Walker; from tho crest of aridgo , faced McPherson , advancing along tho Clinton roa d. Tho Confederates occupied a com- manding position , whicli , for a time , they made the most of. McPhcrsou eamo to timo ac Jackson a little af- ter 9 iu tho fore- noon 01 -lay 14. It „_ p_ DLA]n_ raiiud so hard tha t the soldiers did not dare open their ammu- nifton boxes for an hour and a half for fear the contents would bo spoiled. Crocker ' s division led McPherson ' s ad- vance. After somo ineffectual preliminary skirmishing the whole Union division charged. A creek and open field lay be- tween them nnd tho heig hts held b y tbo Con- federates. Crocker ' s men crossed tho creek and advanced under firo over tho field. As they approached tho heights tho Con- federates fled to tho Canton rond. The two Confederate brigades reported tbat tbey lost 400 men. They also lost all tho guns about Jackson. The afternoon of May 14 TJcPhcrson and Sherman , Grant himself accompanying the latter , entered Jackson. Iu the whole of this part of tho history of Vicksburg, Johnston aud Pemberton wero at cross purposes. Immediately ou his arrival at Jackson , Johnston again ordered Pember- ton to unite his forces against Grant. But Pemberton decided not to obey tho order. Johnston ' s idea was that Vicksburg should be left to its fato for the time , and that ho and Pemberton should unite , nnd together fig ht Grant iu open battlo and have an end of it Pemberton was unwilling to strip Vicksburg of troops. But Johnston , sup- posing the order obey ed , began edg ing around lo tho north and west to join Pemberton. May 14 Pemberton was at Ed wards * Sta- tion with 113 , 000 men. He had left .1 , 000 at Vicksburg. Ilo believed that he could inarch against Grant' s communications in tho rear , toward Raymond , and cut them off. CHAMPION' S HIL L , MAY 16. Tho battlo of Champion ' s Hill Is otherwise called Baker ' s Creek or Edwards ' Station. May 15. Pemberton moved toward Ray- mond from Edwards ' Station. In consequence of tho bad roads ho was obli ged to go eastr ward by the Clinton road. Tho railway sta- tions with which this history is concerned are as follows , beginning with Clinton and look- lug westward: Clinton , Bolton , Edwards ' and Bovino. Slig htly south of tbo railway, nearl y midway between Bolton and [ Edwards ' Sta- tion , is Champion ' s Hill. Near Champion ' s Hill Pemberton ' s troops passed tho ni g ht of the 15th , and here , May 10 , Grant ' s army met and defeated them. Early on the morn- ing of May 10 , another messenger arri ved from Johnston , directing Pemberton to move directl y to Clinton with his whole force , in order that Johnston might join him there. Pemberton prepared to obey tho order nt last , and began to retrace his steps toward Edwards * 1 Station , but Grant ' s.army was al- ready upon him. Grant was now moving his whole army cautiously westward toward Vicksburg, after capturing Jackson. Each cor*- *** , was in easy supporting distance of tho others. Iiu bad 3 1 ' 000 troops. McClernand led tho advance against Pern* bertou -May l ii. Tho battlo began about 10 a. in. McClernand had orders to force tx gen- era l engagement if possible. Grant was near Bolton Station , McPherson ' s corps coming up toward noon nnd taking livel y part in it* . Tho Federal ri g l. -* , under Ilovey, marched up Champion ' s Hill from tho east under a heavy fire , while Logan , stiil further to tho ri g ht , attacked it from tho north. Opposed to them was tho Confederate force of Gen. Stevenson , nnd tho men on both side*- , fought without intermission , tho Union troops slowly nnd steadily moving up Iho bill till they gained its crest. At ii o ' clock Stevenson was re-enforced by Bowen and Ilovey was driven back down Champ ion ' s HilL But in bis rear was Crocker ' s division of McPherson ' s corps , and it immediatel y moved forward to his sup- port. Tho two divisions advanced again. The fighting for tbo crest of tho hill was terrific, but at length Ste-/euson ' s and Bowon ' s divisions gavo way. I. .-ring ' s Confederate force was on tho right. Two of his divisions had beeu sent to t! 1 . -: aid of Stevorv-on and Bowen. Onl y Gen. Lloyd Tilghman ' 3 remained. It made r t'i attack on .Smith' s division , in which Gen. Tilghman wus killed. His men fell back. Pemberton ' s army was utterl y defeated, : tx.c 1 divLL' ons escaped in di ire rent iljWi. i ns. Edwards Station was immedi- ately taken possession of by Union troops. Vicksburg was cut off from railway com- munication. Th* -j Confederates lost 3 , SoJ , the Federal:*; 2 , 403. BIG CLACK RIVER , MAY 17. Stevenson ' s and Bowon ' s Confederate bri- gades straggled to tho Pi g Black river. Hero waa a defense called iu military par- lance a brid ge head. Behind that Pember- ton made a stand with his two divisions and with tho brigades that had been left to guard the bridge. Loring ' * * division had retreated southward after tho battlo of Champ ion ' s Hill and never joine d Pemberton again. At this bridge in tho forenoon of May 17 , lSfi3 , Grant' s army once more attacked Pem- tarIon ' s. Pemberton , himself , was nt Covina Station , between Big Black and Vicksburg. Tho Confederates made a brief resistance on the east side of Big Black. Then they saw that thoy wero aliout to be cut off from their retrea t across that river , and made ono dead rush for the bridges , abandoning their ar- tillery and even throwing away thei r guns. Two-thirds of them escajicd by tho bridges over Big Black. Tho rest , 1 , 750 , wero cap- tured. Tho Confederates who escaped burned tbe bridges , and tho Union army had to re- build them. This gave tho Confederates timo to escape to Vicksburg, where Pemberton alread y was. Haines Bluff , tho right flank of tho de- fenses of Vicksburg, wus abandoned by the Confederates , and Pemberton set himself to work wiih mi ght nnd main fortifying the city anew. SINKING OK Till: CINCINNATI. Once moro Johnston gavo nu order to Pera- berton and once more it was disobeyed. Tho superior officer ordered his second now to evacuate Vicksburg and escape with his nr my to tho northeast whilo thero was yet time. JI\ 4 told hi::. Vicksburg could not stand. But Pembei ton wenti on fortifying Vicksburg. THE SIEGE. On tho morning of May 1.0 , Sherman ' s corps advanced to the right of Vicksburg and took possession of the works tho Confederates had abandoneiL His line extended quite to the Mississipp i river. Grant hoped now , in tho demoralization of the Confederates , to tako Vicksburg b y an easy victory. According ly Ue made an un- successful assault on tho works May 19. Then ho settled down to a regular siege. He shut off tho city from tho world as com- pletely as if it had not existed. Sherman was on tbe rig ht , McPherson in the center , and McClernand on tho left Between Mc- Clernand and tho river there was at first a gap. Grant filled this with Gen, Laumau ' s division from Hurlburt' s corps and Herron ' s division. Out to tho northeast , during tho progress of the siege , G rant p laced two divis- ions of Burasidc ' s Ninth corps , under Gen. J. G. Parkes. Theso four divisions , with sev- eral others , were sent to Grant in answer to urgent request for re-enforcements , as soon as ho saw what was beforo him. Tbey ar- rived from the first to tho middle of Juno. May \22 , beforo his re-enforcements arrived , Grant mad.! another assault on Viekburg, a desperate one , extending two nnd a half miles around the ring. It was unsuccessful , aud attended with the loss of 4 , 000 men. At this second assault Graut had 40 , 000 men , 3o , 000 being engaged in tbo fight Tho Confederate works wero successfully held by about 13 , 000 men. lt was necessary, meanwhile , for Grant to keep the sharpest watch upon his rear , lest Johnston should attack from that quarter , and Graut thus bo bet wee n two fir es. Asa precautionary measure, all tho boats on tho Yazoo river were destroyed , and a forco un- der Gen. F. P. Blair was sent to tho rear to watch tho situation from that direction. At Canton , Miss? ., Gen. Joe Johnston was reorganizing a Confederate army, gathering it hero and there as ho could. B y Juno 3 he had over 54 , 000 men. Throug h the month of Juno Johnston re- mained nt Canton , contemplating the expedi- ency of an attack somewhere on Grant' s rear. Juno 20 ho managed to pass ale Iter through the lines to Pemberton , proposing that whilo he should attack ouo part of tho Union line , Pemberton should make a sortie from tho inside nnd thus escapo. Pemberton replied that ho awaited Johnston ' s orders. Ou tbo £M of Juno Johnston advanced from tho Big Black toward tho rear of Grant' s lines; tho latter detached an amp le forco to meet him , and Johnston saw tho caso was hopeless. Information to that effect soon reached Pemberton , whose next concep- tion was to have a number of boats built and escapo to tho Louisiana side nnder cover of darkness. This desi gn was known in a few hours to Grant and Porter , nnd tho watch on tho river was redoubled. On tbo 1st of July tho Federal approaches had reached the enemy ' s ditch at a number of p laces. Tho samo night Johnston sent word that on tho 7th ho would mako a diversion to enable Pemberton to cut his way out , and almost at the samo hour tho latter addressed his four division commanders a letter asking whether their troops were equal to the task of fig ht- ing their way out. Their answer was an emphatic No! Tho 2d was consumed in discussion of surrender. On tho 3d , about 10 a. m., white flags wero raised on the Con- federate linos , firing ceased , and two persons soon crossed the narrow interval to tho Fed- eral lines with a Hag of truce. They were Gen. Bowen aud Col. Montgomery—tho latr ter u idoiUs-cumi) to Pemberton. They pre- sented tbi 1 * Jetur from Gen. PernlxTton to Gcu. Grant: I hare tho honor to propose an armistice foi —— hours , with tho view to arrauginff terms for tho capitulation of Vicksburg. To this end . if agreeable to you , I will appoint threo commis- sioners , to meet a like number to be named by yourself at such placo and hour today as yoa may find convenient. I make this proposition to save the further effusion of blood , which must, otherwise Iw shed to a frightful extent , feeling myself fully able to maintain my position for a yet Indefinite period. This communication will be handed you under a (las of truce by 31aj. Gen. John S. IaO.ven. SOLDIERS ' HOXL'MKXT AT \1CK.snCTtG. Bowen and Grant hud been nei ghbors and friends in Missouri; Pemberton and Grant hnd served in thu samo division in Mexico and wero well acquainted. Such are tho strange encounters of civil war. Tho an- swer of Grant ran thus : i our note of this dato is Just received , propos- ing un armistice for several hours for the purpose of arranging terms of capitulation through com- , mlssioncrs to bo appointed , etc The useless elTti- 1 Blon of blood you propose stopping by this courso can be ended at aay time you maj choose by tho unconditional surrender of the city and jorrisou. Men who have shown so much endur- ance and courage as thoso uow in Vicksburg will always challenge tho respect of nn adversary, and I can assure you will be treated with all tliu re- spect due to prisoners of war. I do uot fa»or the proposition of appointing commis-i.-uers to ar- range the terms of capitulation, oecause L h*iv« no terms other than those indicated above. Bowen suggested a meeting; (Jrant no-; eepted , and the timo wns set for M p. m. At that hour the commanders met: with Pem- berton wero Bowen aud one or two others; ' with Grant , Gens. Ord , Log .,\, McPherson , .A. J. Smith and somo s s.V officers. A stunted oak tree stood on thu hillside , per- haps 500 feet from tho Confederate trenches , ! At that treo tho bravo Federal , soon to lie cxalted to tho hei ght of earthly honor , and tho brave Confederate , soon to sink under unmeri ted obloquy, met and conferred , tho ono with di gnified resignation , tho other with profound sympathy, both with mutual respect Tho discussion , however , roused somo irritation in Pemberton ; and at his suggestion . Gens. Smith and Bowen con- ferred apart No agreement was reached , and at a lato hour that night Graut sent tho following to Pemberton: In conformity with agreement of this afternoon , I will submit the following proposition for the surrender of the city of Vicksburg, public stores , etc. On your accepting the terms proposed . I will march lu oue division as a guard , aud tako possession at S a. m. to-morrow. As soon as rolls can be made out antl paroles signed by offleers and men , you will be allowed to march out of our lines , tho ollicers taking with them their sido arms and clothing, and the field , staff and cavalry ollicers one horse each. The rank aud file wilt l«j allowed all their clothing, but uo other property. If these conditions are accepted , nny amount of rations you may deem necessary can bo taken from the stores you now have , aud also the neces- sary cooking utensils for preparing them. Thirty wagous also , couuting two two-liorse mule teams as one , will be allowed to transport such articles as cannot bo carried along. Tho same conditions will be allowed to all sick und wouuded officers and soldiers as fast as they become amo to travel. The paroles for these latter must lie si gned , how- ever , while officers present H TG authorized to sign tho roll of prisoners. Supp lementary letters passed , but these wero tho terms finally agreed on. At 10 a. m. ou the 4th of Jul y each Confederate com- mand stacked arms in front of tho line it oc- cupied .. Tho whole Federal army looked nn , without a cheer or a rudo word. Gen. I* o;jau marched his division in and took possession. Gen. Grant entered with them. There wero ul , b*00 prisoners , 172 cannon ami about 00 , 000 muskets and rifies . On the 0th of July Port Hudson nirrendered , with nearl y 11 , 000 pris- oners. Since Grunt started from Milliken ' s Ben I tho Confederates had lost , nt least , 45 , 000 men end -iOii cannon . The Confeder- acy «\ ;;s doomed. immediatel y on tho surrender Grant dis- patched Sherman to the interior to look after Johnston ' s a ran- . With Sherman wero tho Ninth , Thirteenth and Fifteenth corps . June IS McClernand bad been relieved from command of ihe Thirteenth corps , and Geu. E. O. C. Ord was now its leader. After the surrender of Vicksburg Johnston hastened with his Confederate army to Jack- son aud fortified himself. July 10 Sherman appeared at Jackson and invested it for u siege. During the ni g ht of July 10 John- ston skillfully managed to escape across Pearl ri ver with his whole army, going into camp nt a point midway between Jackson and Meriden. Sherman thoroughly destroyed tho railrcids leading into Jackson , captured 7G5 prisoners and returned to Vicksburg. In the expedition ho lost 1 , 100 men , chieily in a a reconnaissance against Jackson July 11. It remains to notice tho work of tho gun- boats during the siege. After tho capturo of Grand Gulf , Admiral Porter returned up the ri ver to tbo mouth of tho Yazoo. May 12 , Lieut. Com. Byron Wilson, of the gunboat Mound City, took possession cf tho Confeder- ate works at Warrenton , below Vicksburg, nnd destroyed them. Mav 22 , Admiral Porter shelled tho Con- federate works from * he river , while Grant assaulted from the rear, [ti this attack tha gunboat Mound City silenced --Whistling Dick , \ tho famous Con- federate cannon. Tho gunboats kept up their at- tack till May 27 . May 30 , tho gun- boat Cincinnati , L i o u t Geo. M. Pat-he command- ing, went down the river from Yazoo to silence a Confed- erate battery on Sherman ' s rig ht BACnEL flank. Butthe first shot from tho battery disabled tho Cincin- nati. She turned nbout and mado her way upstream , rapidly filling with water. Before she was out of range of the battery, sho sank , d rowning 15 men , and losing 20 in killed and wounded. ' Below Vicksburg, at Grand Gulf , Admiral Porter ' s flagship had been thu Benton , com- manded b y James A. Greer. Abovo Vicks- burg tho flagshi p was tho Black Hawk. Juno IU a tremendous bombardment was opened by the fleet on Vicksburg. The Con- federate batteries did not reply. Juno 20 tho fleet again opened fire , ' and ibis time it wns kept up; almost, without intermission , till tho surrender.
