The Sixth Division was reviewed today by General McArthur.
We heard some very heavy cannonading last night down toward Vicksburg. The
report is that four gunboats and six transports with five hundred thousand
rations on board ran the blockade. Another large fleet loaded with troops went
down the river today.
