the Beenlte of the At tempt: Correspondence of the Cincinnatti Gazetts In Sight of Vicksbukg eb 19 The siege of Vicksburg to speak literally commenced yesterday Night before last a mortar boat was towed down to the posi icn whence the bombardment of last summer was carried on Since that bombardment the rebels have cut off nearly all the timber on the peninsula so as to have a full view of our op rations This pieoe of strategy exposes the position of our mortars and gives the rebels a good opportunity for aiming their guns To add to their advantages the height of the river allows the mortar no protection below the banks of the stream such as was the case in July Whether the result will be to compel us to withdraw our mortars is a mat ter of debate The probability is that we will be able to hold our position so as to throw an occasional shell for the amusement and distur bance of the Vicksburgians The first shell was thrown about noon yester day and fell 'in the vicinity of the railway depot thoughit is not thought that any damage was done A train ot cars that had been stand ing on the track moved out hastily as if fearing that a second projectile might fall too near it A few persons that were previously promenad ing the streets of Vicksburg disappeared in the direction of their homes The signal Hags on the courthouse were at once In active oper ation conveying the intelligence to the camps in the rear of the town rom all indications the rebels thought tbat we were ready for a furious assault and made haste to put them selves in condition to receive the least damage The battery at the south part of the town opened upon the mortar boat in reply but as the distance was not fir from two and one half miles their aim could not be very accurate Most of their projectiles fell short exploding over the peninsula or burying themselves in the soft earth One shell burst in the river within a hundred yards of the mortar throwing up the water to the height of fifteen or twenty feet One shell fell quite near a party of engi neers who were endeavoring to get the angles of the posltion'of the rebel guns so as to assist the mortars in taking their aim Still another droppea neir the negroes who were at work on the upper end of the ditch causing considera ble excitement among them The result of the firing of the afternoon was nobody on our side and it is pretty certain tbat no one was injured among the reb els Not a half dozen person were killed in the bombardment of the combined mortar fleets in July A single boat in one day would not be likely to accomplish anything if we judge its performance ty the history of last operations During the night shells were thrown at intervals ot about forty min utes and were not replied to by the rebels To day the firing has been slowly kept up with the same result as yesterday One of the rebel shells struck in the upper end of the canal full three miles from where it was fired: Yesterday the pumps of the Champion No 3 were set a work to remove the water from the upper end of the canal so as to allow the laborers to work Most of the water has been taken out but the bottom of the canal is still so muddy that progress is very slow upon it The nature of the soil is suctr that it will be difficult to drain he ditch completely Those who were formerly most sanguine of its sue cess are beginning to shake their heads over its results On all sides it is pretty generally acknowledged that the canal project is a failure To make it operative it should have been dug of the proper width and depth at the time the river was at its lowest To complete it now is an impossibility It may be available to keep a considerable force of contrabands at work and out of mischief but as far as the passage of boats is concerned it is an arrant humbug We are happy to perceive that the river is falling so as to leave our camps dry as toonts the sun can remove the surface moisture The rain of the week hae ended and to day is as beautiful as could be desired A high wind from the northwest is fast drying up the mud and rendering locomotion possible aces that have for days been wofully elongated are now wreathed in

Mersey and to day she will begin unload ing the stores with which she la freighted for the Lancashire operatives Her reception at Liverpool was in keeping with her merciful er rand As she passed the fort the British flag was lowered and presently from the opposite bank of the river where a new battery has been bnilt to defend ns against visionary dangers the big gnus volleyed forth a thundering salute The little steam tng which had been on the lookout all day was attired in an interna tional livery ot gayest colors and as she polled the precious argosy up the stream many a square yard of bunting run up to the mastheads seemed to say We are glad to see yon But this was only such a welcome as could be extemporized at the moment and the people of Liverpool will take other means of showing their appreciation oi the motives which led to the ofiering of this splendid gift To day or to morrow there to to be a public re ception of the captain and officers of the crew of the George Griswold at Bt Hall on which occasion eloquent' addressee and speeches will do justice to the sentiments cher ished by this country towards the United States The Mayor of Liverpool will 'entertain the cap tain and his friends at a public dinner in the Town Hall and private hoe itaiity will no doubt fill up the measure of becoming welcome Estimated by its value in money the freight of the George

donbt not will be found relishing food The George Gris wold to only the forerunner of other vessels we trust will nach our ports in 'safety One has already left Bos ton and another will presently be

however tbat we discern the full value of these proofs of American generosity We are thankful for them aa the means of helping to feed our needy population bnt they pmaees in our eyes an immeasurably higher signifi cance as demonstr ations of national friendship a friendship which stood the stress of perilous events which has bad to weather many a storm of suspicion and imagined wrong and which now shows itself to be undimmed un diminished and unchanged The weakest point in the conduct of the British government since the war began was undoubtedly ita defer ring tffl it was too late to take measures for stopping the Alabama Why do we recall these facta which seem to have no relation to the George Griswold sad only jar the harmony which she inspires JWe do so because this vessel comes to as from New York because ths money which freighted her was raised in New York and becanse the first movement towards raising funds was made by the New York Chamber of Oosametce We do not wish to be

by three and feohstriicting bat tertae oh the eliores of ths Hver the jfovern ment dispatched Commodore Rogers to the West who had three of the stoutest of freight ing boats converted into Something as nearly like a man of war aa the hature of the service permitted With ihete three ifeteeto the Lexington Tyler and the Ohio and Mteatoaippi were petroled until the arrival of Commodore oote in the succeeding fall In the meantime the project Of constructing iron dd floating movable batteries had been favora bly considered and under the auspices of the War Department a number were built The veaaels were bnilt according to specifications famished by the engineers st Washington and although a first attempt proved to be ot great service in the reduction of ort lleniy ort Donelaon and Island No 10 The flotilla Was then formally tdriied OVet to the charge of the Navy Department to be manned worked and paid according to its regulations RAMS AND IKON CLADS It wss during the same spring that the nerves of the nation were shattered slightly by the ap pearance of the fahlous Merrlmae which by its formidable power of piercing wooden ships first gave insight into the advantage of the ram as a naval weapph In the same inomeht almost the BiiCeeM pt the Ericsson tfirfet afi fi shield for practical gunnery was also demonstrated The theory of naval construction had therefore to be so altered as to meet the new conditions Both North and South set to work to produce the best combination of offenaive and defensive vessel including turret beak and cannon The first attempt in the western Waters and one the value of which can hardly be too much appreciated was the extemporised rain fleet of Col Ellet who represented to the Secretary of War that unless some measures of the kind were speedily adopted the enemy might sink onr entire flotilla The experiences of our river boats at ort Boon after gave proof to his aesertions The timely arrival of the rudely altered tow boats had probably the effect of saving the entire Mississippi flotilla from de straction At Memphis the indomitable spirit of their commander led to the destraction of the rebel fleet even more completely than the intrepidity of arragut in defeating a simitar force at New Orleans ADDITIONS TO TffE LoTiLLA With every day our force is growing more and more effective After the successful de monstrations of the iron clad and the ram pow ers separately working it was determined to unite them both in the same vessel Two ves sels were therefore purchased and under the authority of the Secretary of the Navy by a legal fiction they were repaired or converted bnt in reality were new' boats These the Lafayfitte and Choctaw are now nearly ready for service being perhaps the largest and most powerful vessels afloat They were bnilt by government upon plans of Commodore Porter and others and have cost nearly half amilUon At the same time orders were given for the construction of an iron clad turret ooat at Pitts burg at Cincinnati and at Louisville These three boats are now ready for service the In dianola having recently passed the batteries at Vicksburg and the Cniticothe being above that point and the Tuscumbia en route to the fleet Three others of similar design are nqw being constructed at the same places Jt TUB MOSQUITO UIBT The opening of the smaller navigable streams in the West gave rise to the demand tor a smaller class of boats with light draft and light armament greater speed as a protection to transports a scourge to guerillas and a con tinual patrol and guard upon the property of the United States Eighteen of these boats 'were bnilt or converted and are familiarly known as on the river from their lighter coating of iron plates These with the original wooden gunboats and a few cap tured from the enemy constitute an efficient fleet capable of acting against anything short of heavy batteries NAVAL ABCHITKOTUBR AT THE WRST By far the most important fact in the history of naval warfare to the development of a re markable building capacity in the West of naval vessels of all modern descriptions It is we believe not generally known that within sight of the city of St Louis there are In process of construction not less than six of the most complete most powerful and largest iron Monitors ever built Besides having famished the greater portion of the present fleet St Louis has an arsenal al ready in opreation far larger and more effective than the building yards on the Atlantic coast where there are on the stocks war vessels which would do credit to any great naval architects of Greenpoint or Brooklyn One of onr at taches recently visited the naval depots at the West and famishes the following interesting account of the progress of naval affairs MR SHIPYARD AT

covered with immense boat houses engine shops furnackbManr iqUIs gas works cisterns offices Within are all the machinery for punching rolling bending riveting launching and in a word the complete outfitting of an iron built iron clad sea or river war vessel Mr Eads was the builder of the first lot of Iron clads and the designer and builder of the celebrated Benton which still remains the larg

and Kicka poo are being built for the contractors Messrs Allen Co and Gaylord of Saint Louis The remaining two Milwaukee and Winnebago are in an advanced state Not withstanding the nnforseen hindrances and de lays occasioned by the government seizure of boats for army purposes the whole of them will be ready within th specified time the time and energies of the proprietor and his men

Seneca 'l' rom the Commercial Advertiser riday morning the density of the fog was greater than at any time during the present winter and boats were obliged to check their snebd and proceed on their trips with great precaution In spite of this carefulness how ever an accident occurred at half past seven which was very fortunate in not termin ating ta a loss of life and other serious damage The ferryboat Nebraska of the Williamsburg ferry while proceeding to the city was struck when ta the middle of the stream and opposite Gouverneur street by the ferryboat Seneca of the Jackson street ferry The Beneca had just left the dock bn this aide of the river when the accident occurred She struck the Nebraska just forward of th wheel running under her guard and crushing her bottom so that the water immediately rushed ta ta an immense volume causing the injured boat to begin to fill at once As soon as tbe nature and extent of the ac cident became known to the passengers of the Nebraska (between three hundred and four hundredin number) they were seized with the greatest consternation The pilot of the ves sel Nimrod Bauisir headed the boat for the nearest slip and succeeded in running her into tbe dock at the foot of Pike street The hold of the vessel was by this time filled with water when the passengers amid intense excitement rushed to the side of the vessel nearest the dock It is a great wonder that a large num ber of them were not plunged overboard by this movement With the exception of two of them however they all remained on the boat many of them climbing upon the hoods' (or up per deck) of the vessel and all preparing to jump ashore as soon as an opportunity to do so offered itself a young woman in the midst of the excite ment sprang overboard but was buoyed up by her drees and was soon after rescued by a small boat which came to her assistance A boy stripped himself and jumping into the water swam to tbe dock where a rope was thrown to him and he was hoisted all safe and sound to terraftrma The ferryboat Warren Captain William Mansfield which was lying near by moved to the sinking vewel took the larger part of the passengers on board and landed them on the pier A large numoer of the frightened men and women were rescued by boats which vol unteered to assist them A bridge of small boats was also made from the sinking vessel to a schooner lying at the pier by which a por tion of the passengers reached the shore One lady was pulled overboard by: a man who was very gallantly endeavoring to save himself at all hazard She had hold of a rope when he in jumping into a small boat gave it a jerk which threw the lady Into the river from which she was picked up by the Warren David Osborn a caulker employed on the dock and James Scanlan after all the passen gers had been removed and the water was about three feet deep on the deck waded through the cabins for the purpose of ascertaining whether anyone had been left onboard or drowned They happily found that the passengers had all been taken safely ashore They then cut the traces of seventeen horses which were after ward placed on board of boats taken to the pier and hoisted upon the dock The wagons to which these horses were harnessed were all sunk with the vessel Massachusetts Colored With the sanction of Governor Sprague an office has been opened in Providence Rhode Island to enlist
