ad, Johnston, then hurrying forward with his little army, at once ordered Pemberton to come up, with all the strength he could assemble, in Sherman's rear, promising his own co-operation. Clinton was seventeen miles east of Pemberton. As is well known, and, doubtless, because of the importance ascribed to Vicksburg, Pemberton moved south instead of east, with a part only of his force, and out of reach of the little band waiting to participate at Clinton. He marched to the disasters of Champion Hill and Baker's Creek. On being so informed, in terms which admitted of no mistake, Johnston ordered the immediate evacuation of Vicksburg and Port Hudson. It is not desirable to discuss the considerations, which caused a sincerely patriotic soldier to so deviate from these orders, as to invert and, in effect, to annul them. Johnston's orders meant to him as he states the fall of Port Hudson, the surrender of the Mississippi river, and the severance of the Confederacy. Saving that it w

Edwards Depot. The next morning came a dispatch from General Joseph E. Johnston, then at Benton road, near Jackson. General Johnston's instructions were that General Pemberton should join him at once at Clinton. The countermarch was at once ordered. The reverse movement had hardly been begun when the Federals attacked, drove in the cavalry pickets, and opened at long range on the head of the column on the Raymond Road. The battle that followed is known as both Baker's Creek and as Champion Hill. The Confederate line was formed on the cross-road from the Clinton to the Raymond Road—Loring on the right, Bowen in the center, and Stevenson on the left. To Stevenson's men was entrusted the protection of the wagon train, then crossing Baker's Creek. The Federals first attacked the Confederate right, but after an hour's heavy firing this attack was relinquished, and a large force thrown against the Confederate left. At noon the battle began in earnest along Stevenson's entire fr

ries at the foot of the hill were captured. The same evening the water batteries below. Vicksburg were taken by Porter's mortar boats. On Friday the rebels were driven to the inner fortifications.--Grant's army stretches completely round the doomed city, both wings resting on the river. Vicksburg is full of women and children — many have come in from the surrounding country for safety. A dispatch, dated three miles east of Vicksburg, May 25th, says: Our wounded at the battle of Champion Hill number 1,700. The enemy's loss is acknowledged to be not over half that. We had 20,000 troops engaged and the rebels about 10,000, according to their wounded. We took 3,000 prisoners, and about 3,000 at the battle of the bridge. All possibility of escape is cut off. Every man, woman, and child must fall into our hands. At 2 o'clock yesterday the battle began in earnest. Gen. Steele drove the enemy from several forts, and took one complete line of fortifications, fronted by rifl

ps, which exploded amongst them, making fearful havoc. Fighting was going on furiously when the City of Memphis left. The Federal losses are said to be heavy. The first load of wounded from Gen. Grant's army has arrived. Among these are Col. Mavendy, Col. McGinnis, and Col. Lecher, of the 11th Indiana; wounds severe, but not dangerous. In the severe battle, the 11th and 24th Indiana lost about 250 each. Capt. Holman, of the 24th, is killed. Gen. Hovey's Indiana division at Champion Hill, maintained the brunt of the fight against an overwhelming force of the rebels under Joe Johnston. Vicksburg is invested on all sides, and must soon be in our hands. Gen. Carr and Lieut.-Col. Cameron, of the 44th Indiana, are reported killed. Lieut.-Col.--, 24th Indiana, had his right hand shattered while grasping the colors of his regiment and endeavoring to rally his men under a murderous fire. Other dispatches desperate fighting Friday--a loss of five thousand acknowledged.
