Tho New 'York World concludes an edi torial urging the "Federal rulers to embrace the opportunity offered by the triumphs of Meade and. Grant, to make overtures for peace, as follows : Were tho South in arms against us a for eign power contending with us on some great issue of public law or of national pretensions, history would brand with un dying shame tho statesmen who should fail to seize upon a conjuncture at once so glo rious and so terrible to attempt at least the ro-establishment of peace. How much imperative is their duty so to act at such a timo who are wielding the energies of a Christian republic for tho settlement of a civil quarrel botwoen men of ono race and States of ono great family ? Sooner or lator this duty must bo done. Our interests aid our religion, our hopes and our honor, alike condemn the madness which raves of u: conditional subjugation as tho policy of tho loyal states, nnd of un conditional submission as tho destiny of the States in rebellion.

JEFFERSON DAVIS. By the President : J. P. BENJAMIN. Secretary of State. Vicksburg. The proposition of the fall of Vicksburg says tho .Mobile Advertiser being abso lute, it is now plain that it has fallen with the least possible harm to us. If it had hold out onlv twenty four hours longer. Johnston's army would, without any doubt bvo beon cut to pieces. Johnston was on the Big Black, and on Saturday, night his army bivouackod with orders to move on Grant s' entrenchments at two o'clock in the morning. Before tho hour arrived, tho ncwa of Pemberton's capitulation was re ceived. From what has since been learn ed of Grant's position, it is now known that if Johnston s force had beon doubled and trebled it could never havo got through the works of Grant. Tho country lor miles was defended by foiled timber, every gorgo and ravinoa fortified work, bristling with cannon and converted into a slaughi tor pen. Wo are credibly informed that it took some of our paroled officers at Vicksburg fifteen hours to ride fifteen miles through the felled timber and around the excavations and embankments made by the enemy. How long would it havo taken an army to march through the same works defended by a superior force? We claim that wo have been fortunato in saving the gallant littlo army of Johnston, as well as the Vicksburg trarrison, irom further loss. Tho latter will before long bo exchanged and enabled to take the field again. From the lower, Mississippi tho signs ot tho times aro highly encouraging. It is clear that Banks, if left u himself, is over cropptd. Gen. Taylor has developod a won- dcrlul energy in ins laie operations, anu bus really redeemod the State, to tho west of the river.

CYi a rt.atnn . day and Sunday, has demonstrated fully i .na- me eqemy nas aotermmed lo make his present movement a decisive attack on our city. It is not known as vet with certainty what the force of the enemy is, but priso ners report it from fifteen to twenty thou sand. Several demous--ations have been mado on JameB' Island and the Savannah Railroad, doubtless intended as feints to div:de attention and endeavor to carry some vveak point. If so, the enemy, wo are con fident, will find himself urstaken. It is but natural with the eornd of boom ing cannon on every side, that our commu nity, who are more especially interested in the welfare of husbands, fons and bothers, now engaged, should show more or less ex citement. Never, however, have wo seen greater calmness and a more determined spirit exhibited. The old and tho young have enrolled themselves, and the organi zation of our militia has been effected so quietly and rapidly as to surprise even the most saoguioo. About daylight -Saturdav morning the enemy made their first determined assault on Battery Wagner,tho contre fortification of Morris' Island. It was no doubt inten ded to be a surprise. The assault was led by four Companies of tho Seventh Connec ticut, supported on tho right and left by tho Ninth Maine and Seventy-sixth Penn sylvania regiments, with the Taird New Harnsphire, Forty eighth New York and S'th Connecticut, iu reserve in all, be tween tour and five thousand uien. Tho .ront advanced bravely up to the battery, our men, according to previous orders, re serving their fire until the enemy had got withia musket range, when a terriblo fire of grape, canister and musketry oponed upon the advance. Some few of Uo fo.e most companies rushed forward only to be shet down or taken prisoners. The havoG in the front line caused the others to waver but for a moment, when they retreated precipitately in, apparent confusion back behind the sand hills, Tho prisoners report thoir loss of tho previous day about fifty killed and woun ded. Thoy also state that Lieut. Boo was still alive Saturday, but veiy severely wounded. Lieut. Campbell, who was at dpt. Mitchel's battery at the timo of the attack and took part in tho action, gives the following particulars : Lieut. G. Li. Hay ward, who was fighting one of his guns, upon being ordered to re treat, decliricd, and said he would fight his gun to the last. The enemy mountc Fhe enemy mounted his j work and carried tho battery at the point of the bayonet. Lient. Hay ward was shot through both hips. A shell struck tho gun worked by Lieut. Bee, and exploded, ten pieces striking his breast and four in tho face, lie was carried lor a distanco of about live hundred yards by his men, when being hard pressed by the enet.iy, they wero compelled to leave him, and laid him in front of Capt. MitchoU's tent. Capt. Macbesh wa9 stunned by a shell and taken prisoner. Tho prisoners report him doing well when lastseen. Eight guns and three mortars fell into the hands ot the enemy. These had boon placed in position on the sand hills at the lower end ot tho Island, and were designed to command the ap proaches from Little Folly Island. The enemy's loss is estimated to have beer at least fully five hundred. Ooo hun dred of his dead lay directly in front of tho battery, one hundred and thirty unhurt and about eighty wounded were taken prisoners. The commanding officer of tho assaulting column, General Strong, is re ported !y tho prisoners to f-eriously woun ded. Thj last seen ot him he had fallen from his horse and was carriod off the field by his men. Several other officers of tho enemy are reported by the prisoners to bo either killod or badly wour.ded amon them Lieut. Col. Rodman, Capt. Theodore Burdick, Liut. John llson, cf tho Seventh .
