Pembertou, did not "waste any am munition on the enemy," bat allowed them to come within firty yards of cur line of breastworks, when they commenced throwing up work3 and erecting forts ; this they were allowed to do without any lurther molesta tion than the occasional throwing ot a few hand gren ades, iu mnny cases the enemy flinging them back to us. From the 22d of May to the 25ib ot June, do at u mpt was made of any serious nature, with the i xcep tion of The attack by tbe turreted iron clad guaboat Cincinnati to silence one ot our laud batteries. Tbe engagement lasted about fifteen minutes, when the Cin cinnati commenced sinking, having been pierced sever al times by tne Brook gun known as "Whistling Dick." This was a spirited and exciting engagement, and the result appeared wholly unexpected by. the Yankees, as they confidently anticipated the destruction of the bat tery by their vaunted iron-clad. During the engage ment a number of the enemy congregated ou tbe bank of the river opposite Vicksburg, while Sherman with hia entire corps rested on their arms waiting for the de struction of the works, when he would "enter Vicksburg without any trouble." Aa soon as it became evident tbat the boat was sinking, she was run ashore" and Bet on fire. She now lies a dismantled wreck immediately abjve tbe city oa tbe Mississippi shore. From the commencement ol the siege to the 25th of June our loss in officers had been veryjarge : Lu Col. Bogers, cf the 16 th Louisiana, and Major Hoadly, of the heavy artillery, killed ; Col.

At tbe expiration of of that time- tbey were gradually reduced to the follow ing amount of food : 4 ounces -flour, 4 ounces bacon, ounces rice, 2 ounces peas ( be latter not eatable), and 3 ounces sugar making a total ot 14 ounces of food per day. From the small number of our forces it took every man ito defend tbe lines, so that the iren bad r o time whatever to teat.

During the siege many instaccta ot ti.ring took place. Heverol times our lorces sallied out, taking pris oierg. Among them were one Lieut. Col. Cann. of an lllini ia regiment, with a t-oud many subaltern talioers and private. On the 22d May the 2d Texas, of Moor's brigade, captured a stand of colors from the enemy io the following manrjer : Tbe enemy charged up the hill towards our works ; as soon aa they bad arrived about thirty yards from cur line of breastworks, thj color bearer of ths Yankee reeriment rushed forward and planted the United states flag on the edge of our works. Oue ot the men of tha 2d Texas quickly jumped out cf the r.fls pit, s'tot tlie color bearer, and taking away the flig, returu-d our lines. IV. ary other instances of individual here ism occurred duriug tho siege, too nu merous to narrate Oar forces, fju.iyed up with the nope of a spreHy reiiet, determined never to permit the 3nemy to rrcs- the line of wotkd. Bcp ated assurances were ihveu u tlw rseo that succor would soon arrive. Cjuriers anivo-g from Johnston brought most exag- i geratc-d reports ol the streng j command many placing it gth of the army under hie as high as 80,000 fff.c tiverc-i.' While thrso cvea-s weie transpiring at the bteast works u-'Mind the town, the enemy were not idle oa the peiiiniifu ppesite. Oue constant stream of mortar sbelld va? poured ioto the devoted city, the enemy ex hibiting a refinement of cruehy in throwing their shells at the n ispitals particularly, aware tbat tbe men who were new well aud hearty, were perfectly indifferent to the storm ot phot and sheil poured like Laii upon tbem. They fired iuto buildings on which the yellow fl waved, killiug and wounding several of ihe inmates. Whether Ge eral Pemberton offered ady remonatrance at their doing .as not been ascertained. If be did, no regaid was paid to his complaint. J'ha women and chiloren remaining tn town suffered severely, no Ica.s than three having been killed and twelve wounded dur ing the s'egc. spite cf whica, with, all the heroism that charade; ms cur Southern r oaitn, those remain ing well declared their willingness to run the risk cf be ing killed rather than 1 ee Vicksrrurg. AtaoMg the la dies wounded are Mrs. llazzird, 31 rr. U. W. Tetus, .vl rs. 11. H. Clements, Mrs. Minor T. B.

'the firing on the city was not marked with the same regularity ud prec ision observed on the hoot ot out b easiwork, the mortar shells falling iu every direc tion over the iowu, as if no particular objeet was aim ed at. After the surrender of ihd town, tte Yankee ar tillery effi. ers staled that the mortar and Pairott guns opposite the city were manned by fresh troops, acd weife phiced there ttr a double purpose ; first, to una. j us in the city, and to p actise themselves in tbat arm of the tervue ; and gave tbat hs their escme for em boapi.'als beii g etiuck so often.

On the 29th ot June, the enemy succeeded ia blowing up tbe same portion ol our line ugain. We lost sever al mcu of the 3d Louisiana from tne expL &hn Tbe enemy, however, mud: no attempt to charge tbe work, nesng apparently couienttd wild, tho occupation of ore portion of the ruined fort. Tremendous cannonading continued during the re maining few days of the siege, with but little daraag to tne Confederates. The men were all mcod spirits, und appeared eatistied to live on the meagre ailowat ce ol rat iops given them, rather tban yield the city the had defended gallantly for so long a period. Not a murmur was heard amoDg them all were inspired with the greatest enthusiasm and devotion to their cause and the word " surrender " was never broached amon tbem. Five- or six days previous to tbe surrender ol the city " malo meat ' was tried and found or good q'laliTy the at beirg equal to the Coes.1 vtui.?on, and was liberally eaten by the soldiers and citizens alike. An attempt was made by cur fore s to countermine the euemy, but ihe attempr einally failed -as from the position of the eutmy's works they couM not be mined. On Fiiday morn.ng, the 3d of July, Gen. Pem&erton sent cut a flag of truce, aid a short time tterwa;d himself and Brigadier General Bowen were seen ltav ing ouriines. As soon as they left tbe works the men cor jectured tbat the object of his going to Grant in peraon was to treat for a surrender ot the city. 'I heie was soon considerable exciiement observed among toe soldiers, nt ot e of whom favored such a course : the excitement was partially allayed by tbe statement that Gen. Pemberton bad gone to Grant for tbe purpose of ! getting bis consent to our removing the sick and woun ! ded and the women and children trom town. After re" maining at Grant's headquarters for about two hours," Gerja. Pembertion and Bowen returned. An armistice bad been declared till ten o'clock tbat night. The firing had ceased, and nothing but the voices of soldiers in an gry and indignant conversation could hi heard. At half past six on Friday evening a meeting of ajl the Generals took plack at General Pemberton 's head quarters, and at ten o'clock a messenger went into the Federal lines with despatches from Pemberton. Oa Saturday morning a circular from the Lieut. Gen eral commanding announced tbe surrender of the city, and the terms of capitulation, as follows : Tbe entire force of Confederate troops were to surrender as prison ers of war to the United States army, under General Grant y the whole paroled and sect into cur fines ; all officers were to retain their arms ; all mounted officers to have the privilege of riding out ; private property to be respected, and all parties, whether citizens or not, connected in any mann: r with the army, were to be al lowed the privilege of leaving tbe Federal lines on pa role. All ammunition, stores, field artillery and siege guns were to be surrendered to the United States army, as well as all small arms in our possession. On Saturday morning, at half pa$i eleven o'clock, the men having stacked their arms, marched front tbe breast works tbey had stood behind with such heroic valor for nearly two months. Soon after the Yankee army commenced pouring into town in the space of fifteen minutes tbi city was crammed with them and then began a scene of pillaging. Houses and stores were broken open and tbe contents appropriated by the Yankees. In justice to General Grant, I would say tht m goon aa complaiat was Bade to .bio, gwrd was placed at the buildings that had been broken open.
