Pern i hterton's Pass to visit Little Rock. We fell back to Vicksburg Sunday evening. ' May 17th The Federals commenced firing on Out line yesterday. i Alonday evening This morning the firing is be conning more interesting ; the sharpshooters are flripg constantly ; the cannon have been firing aiH(( all the morning above the town. I m o'clock A M The firing has just commenc ed bf'ioiv the town. 4 Jrv Ai The nring has increased, until now it is terrific at eevral points ; the enemy is mak ing a heavy charge on the left of our centre heavy firing i3 heard on our right; the battle hai become general alone our entire front. t Sunday, May 24th Seventh day of the siege We repulsed the enemy on Tuesday evening with great siaugnter. lney cnargea our lines again on j Friday ; the charge was made with great fury and daring. They succeeded in getting up to our jwotrlts on several occasions ; some of them mount- pa lino worKs 1 a iron t 01 tne zota Ja., Dut, poor deluded fellows, that was their last charge. Four Yankees fell-in to our ditches dead at this point. The firing was very heavy and lasted till night, a er eat manv of our men having ahnt 120 rounds. jDuring the day we captured a few prisoners, one pt ;wnom jokingly cuid tie "started to Vicksburg, 'and here I am." The dead Yankees were lying ib ! heaps as far as the eye could reach. Those jthat are near our works are not yet buried. The stench is becoming very offensive. The Federals mot have eight or,ten thousand killed during this fight. Our loss comparatively small. Up to this bnia wo have had about 100 killed and 300 or 400 iwdunded. Our little armv was badly whipped iand demojalized when wecamebere, but thevare tin jfi, e spirits now, and it will take a host to whip land-drive them from our works. The firing has jbeen kept up constantly by sharpshooters on both isidea, and pretty constant firing from the .Federal icapnop. Our batteries reply occasionally. The Fekls are shelling us constantly from their mortar boats, 'which are placed across the peninsula, in irdnt of town, and their gunboats below town, but Tut. . t l Wive o'clock P. M An acmiitioeof 5 hours has been agreed on, to allow theFederals to bury their Tuesday, May 26 During the armistice our jboys Went out and had a social time with the Feds, and had some late Northern papers. They say that they are not going to charge our works any more, but starve us out. I Sunday, May 31 Anotherweek has passed. We .have not had much fighting with small arms, jbuit the enemy's cannon has btfon firing pretty constantly ; a part of the time the cannonade has Ibesn terrific. The Feda attempted on last Tues day eveningto go down with the gunboat Cin IciBhati, an iron clad of 16 guns. As soon as it icarce in range of our batteries, they commenced ;firing, and by the time it had rounded the point labpve towu it was so badly crippled that it was in !a finking condition ; they then turned back, ran ; jup tho rrver about tone mile, and sunk in shoal ' 'water on this side. It 13 reported that Gen. Grant toJd Commodore Porter that if be would 6ilenco oujr uppct1 battery he would take Vicksburg in 2 jhdurs, -and that this was the object of this visit of jthje Cincinnati. . It is reported that Commodore j Porter was on board at the time. They fired lotfly.'eight of her guns. Tho'officers and crew made their escape in small boats and skiff. The largo gun known as "Whistling Dick," the IianKoos say, sunk their boat. The upper works being out of water, sixty of Col. Gates'. Missoun aos iwent up last night afld set fire to it. It is still burning, i . Friday, June 5. Sharpshooting and cannona ding about as usual. The Federals are uting the sgade pretty extensively they get a-little nearer every day, but they try to keep out of sight of our sjiarpshooterp. . , j June C Some thief stole my boots last night ; I, hope they (the boo'ts) will get' shot to-day.

There was a 'very . -H ' " - - . i I , ! - t- ; . ! . , ' - arge attendance from oat (Green's) brigade's. It was iodeed a solemn scene to witness the solemni ty of this large concourse of . people, assembled among the graves, and tombstones, and monu ments, erected to tbe memory pf the dead, listen ing to the solemn expounding of the word of God. Doubtless many a brave soldier asked the solemn question : Shall I die unprepapred to- meet God and be buried among strangers wU my fond mother, doting wife, or loving sister, -ever know my fate? They, perhap3, will look long and anx iously for my return ; but, alas 1 they, perhaps, Will look in vain.

We got a Memphis paper 01 the 11 tb, from which we learn of the attack on Port Hud son. Our bovs are greatly rejoiced at tne success of the bravft defenders of Port Hudson. All in good spirits, firing about as usual. - June 21. riot much ot interest the last lew days. The firing yesterday morning, from 4 to 10 o'clock a. m., was the heaviest that we had du ring the siege. June 25. -I have un. Pemberton'a pass, and shall leave the city to-morrow ndorning. Sharp shooting and cannonading have been going on about as usual for several days. Some of our, boys have been doiig some pretty gnllant little deed) within tbe last two weeks, small parties nave charged outside of our works, -killed and captured a few Yankees, and on one occasion a regiment ot Georgians captured and hftuled in a wagon, which proved to be loaded with spades and pikes. 1 would here state that some of the Goorgians wire accused of behaving: badly at the Biker's Creek fight,buttbey have acted nobly andgallantly since, the investment here. "The Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana .troops have distinguiih'd them selves for gallantry on several occasion's. In a word, there is no reason to complain of any troops They have the utmost confidence in themselves and in tboir ability to hold Vicksburg againstany force that may be brought against it. Tbey say that if Pemberton will manage the provisions they will hold "the ditches. . Having become so accus tomed to them, the feel safer in the ditches than anywhere else. In looking over my notes I find I have omitted several very interesting little incidents of the sioge. One item : about dusk in the evening eome of iur boys will halloo over to the Federals, "How are you, boys ?" Federals answer, "Bully," (a great word amon; the soldiers.) Southerners, "let us stop shooting pnd tilk some awhile." ,,Agred-' says Yankee. Then from both sides you will hear Jhem say, "don't shoot,1 and they all stop shooting and get on top or the -beast works, ana ro aioui an hour they will talk and iake"each other. Our boys will abk them where is Hunchback, (meaning Gen. Grant,) they then will enquire how they like General Pemberton how our boys wili iroply by asking how they like Figting Joe Hooker ? Our boys frequently ask them why they d.on't take Vicksburg. They frequently get off sotfte pretty good jokes. After talking in this way for about an hour you will hear some felow say, bed time boyp, get to your holes, I am going to snoot direct ly. Then sharpshooting commences, and the next night the same scene is enacted. During the fltst week of our investment, on one occasion the Yankees, in making a charge, a few hundred of them succeeded in getting up to our embankment; but, toftheir dismay, -they dared not attempt to go further, and could pot get back without exposing themselves to a raking fire of grape and Minnie balls. They supposed that they were comparatively safe while they were immg. diately under .our embankment ; but, to their hor ror, our soldiers provided shells with two second fuze, which they lit and rolled oyer by hand for the Yankees to play with. A great many of them were killed while at this amusement. They com plained afterwards of the inhumanity of our boys; They may be thankful if thoy do net have to com plain mor than once of rough treatment before they capture Vicksburg. The Yankee version of this matter, as publish ed in Northern papers, was this: That they had succeeded in driving our men, and that they took possession of one of our strongest redoubts, and held it several hours ; but owing to'iome other re giment failing to come to their support they had to evacuate it. Five o'clock P. M. The cannenade was very heavy for the last hour now hear volleys of musketry down on our right---suppose a churge is being made, but don't know by which party. I must close, as I shall leave camp in a few min utes. Have bid farewell to most of my friends, and have promised to'writo to otfcrer friends when I get to Little Rock, and will'soon bid fareweil to the scenes which have become of peculiar in terest to me. and ruav the God of battles g'ant our boys a happy issue out of their present diffi culties.
