The victory Waa deciaive' and Lee
waa In full pursuit. It ia aleo report
ed that four gunboats have been
eunk at Charleston and a latge num-
ber of prisoner* takan.
2,000 cavalry have gone above
Alexandria' and are marching on
Natchitoches.
All tbe reports about the shelling
or evacuation of Vioksbnrg are un
true.
A fight haa takan place at Grand
Gulf in which the enemy were chiven
off, but no particulara have been
received.
The Federal raid* of' cavalry on
NalcheB is reported broken up in
small squads by our troops, under
command olF Col. Wirt Adams.
Tbe following additional particu-
lars of the fight at Grand Galf are
of iuterest:
One report says that on reaching
tin- river, the "enemy fbund their
gunboats gope, when our troops
«Wglitered tbem ta great numbers,
and pr&bably captured the rest. ;
The belief is that this force was
one of the flanking column?, against
Vicksbin'g, the other having movSrl
^om tbe Y&zqo.
The enemy attacked Grauu Gull
batteries on the 1st. We repuiseu
them. On the 2d they lauded troopb
above Grand Gi l£, about 10,000 to
15,000 strong' We met thein with
1000 men, who fell back fightin j
through Port Gibson, the store*}
See., tailing into the enemy's hands.
On tbe night of the 2d. our reinforce-
menta arrived, who attacked the
enemy, routed them Completely, and
¿rove tbem back to their gunboats
with great loss.

The Paridos ia OaunSU
The Boston Courier publiahea an
account of a meeting of negroea in
New Bedford, Mass., convened by
request of Governor Andrew, for tbe
purpose of encouraging enlistments.
•'Mr. Cr>w," the Chairman, after
delivering the opening address, sat
down npou a barrel, when tbe fcecreta-
ry read the following resolutions.
1. Whereas how, lookin' batik
rou de vista of die war, we dótt'l
deenothiu' encouragin,' and lookin'
ihrou de retrospeck ahead, things
looks wuss'n ever; resolved sum
thiu'a got to be done I
2. Resolved, White folks haint
done nothin',
3. Resolved, It takea cullered folks
to do sumethin',
4. Resolved; How's it" gwine to
be done 1
6, Resolved, "Dat's de question?
The resolutions having been rend,
there was a great rush for the floor,"
and gentlemen treading upon ihe
elongated heels of each other, there
Was no little confusion and outcry
Order being at length restored, Pom-
pey Cole, Esq., was recognised by
tlig—barrel,
Mr. Cow remarked : "Mr. Cheer-
man, I don't know 'bout dia yere
thing. Fus place, afore We licks de
Souf. 1 wants to know what toe't
got to do 'bout it 1 I read a story
in de Courier todder day 'bout some
white teilah askin' a cullered gem-
man, says he, "Look yon here, white
man, did yah ever see two dogs a
fightin' over a bone 1"—Wall, 'lowed
be had. "Berry well," says d« cul-
lered gemman "did do bone fight 1"
Now, deu, Miss'r Cheermau on de
barrel yonder, dey tell us dis's a war
for liberty—for to set dem niggers
OUt Sonf free. Well, who axed 'em

ness out o' our hands? Is we gwine
to shave for six cents an' black boots
for two cents like dey can ? No sab
no! My sentiment is, dat if white
folks had waited till cullered people
and niggera had axed 'em to fig'it
'bout 'em, dere wouldn't been no
fightin'. no way ! Guv'nor Andrew
can't coma it over die chile. If he"
wants a dinner, I'll give him one*

The speech of Mr. Cole had auub
S convincing effect Upon tbe aaaem-
bly, that the efforts pf President
Ora#, who was the only darkey in
the crowd Who had received a fit

since. They have lately retui
their ma8teirf minus their ears—tl
having been c(it off close to lheff
heads by their hboíitiou friends. Tim
negroes, it is artid, are nt)w violent

turas and experience are a tenor to
negroes who learn a lesson from
their brethren whose ears are left
in Lincolndom.
