There was some very heavy cannonading out at the front
today, and word came that a battle was fought at a place called Champion Hills,
with heavy loss on both sides. The rebels are falling back towards Vicksburg.
The river is falling and troops are still arriving. General Lauman's Division
arrived last night.
