The Daily Dispatch: June 6, 1863., [Electronic resource], Latest from the North. (search)

the 28th, when it was stated that Grant's forces were progressing as favorably as could be expected, and Grant had no fears of the result. Chicago,June 1.--A special dispatch to the Times, dated "Headquarters in the Field, near Vicksburg, May 23," says: But little has been effected during the last thirty six hours. Over a hundred pieces of field artillery and several siege guns rained shot and shell on the enemy's works yesterday. The mortar fleet also took a position behind De Soto Point, and bombarded the city the entire day. On the right General Sherman has pushed Steels's division squarely to the foot of the parapets. Our men lay in a ditch and on the slope of the parapet, inside of one of the principal forts, unable to take it by storm, but determined not to retire. The Federal and rebel soldiers are not 25 feet apart, but both are powerless to inflict much harm. Each watches the other, and dozens of muskets are fired as soon as a soldier exposes himself
