A dense emoke lies like a pali over the city, in which ean be seen every instant the flish of barst- ing shells, and heard the whistling rash ol deadly projectiles With such sighis, sounds, and surroundings, Vicksburg is at present as nadesirable a residence a8 can be selected. Deserters assure us that the stench arising from animals killed is horrible in the extreme; that the whole army ie on miserable half: rations, aad only injuced to coutiniue the de- | fence with the hope of relief from beyond It is impossible to say how long this hope | will sustain them ; but it i# fair to presume | that within the next fortnight they will be | forced to suceumb to sturvation unless re-|

All the wounded and sick, adarge number, have been brought away and transferred to the hoepitals in the vicinity of Washington.

Wasutneron, 15tb.—The interest in Stuart's

The hent has been awful, and Washington has sought its news litergily in a furnace, An exchanged officer of the Indianola, who ar- rived to-night from Richmond, says that the win- dow of bis room in the Libby Prison commanded a view of the James River bridges, and that in the last two weeks the trains which erpssed them have carried daily from 2000 to 3000 troops tg re- inforce Lee.

We are glad to bear that Mr. Allen Naper MacNeill, son of our esteemed fellow townsman, Jolin MacNaill, Exqg., Clerk of the House of Ag. sembly, bas passed bis examination as assistant Clerk in the Royal Navy, last week, on board the Nie at Tfalifax. Out of 475 marks (the number of warks required) the young gentleman scored 410. This result is highly creditable to him, and must be very gratifying to his friends and fellow | students. The young Prinee Edward Islanders jare determined to go ahead. This is now the fifth of them who bas beew reeeived into Her Majesty's naval service during the last few years,

We way state that Mr. A. N. MacNeill was a student at the Prince of Wales’ College eince its establishment, and previensly a pupil of the Cen- tral Academy. We hope his future career in the noble profession which boasts of a Nelken and a Dundonald will be as distinguished as his eutranse iuto it was smceessful.— Wor.
