Vicksburg is not yet ours; but we are in daily expectation of hearing the welcome news of its capture, and the rebel troops in it. Our forces are closely besieging the city and several severe battles have been fought in their approach to it. The Forces under Gen. Banks and Admiral Farragut are reported to have reduced Port Hudson and joined General Grant in the siege of Vicksburg; but will wait for authentic information.
