The State is loyal aow to the core. But there are enough secessionists, for one cause and another out of service, in the Valley of the Mississippi, who, if they should-come to our coast, would revolutionize popular sentiment in a year, and give to this State alt, the horrors that Missouri has suffered for the disloyalty of her people, during the first stagee of the rebellion.

AT Vickspunc.—Just thirty days ago, we had information, suppused to be positive, that the eighteen thougand troops under Pemberton inside the fortifications at Vicksburg, were reduced to half rations. It was sud that the garrison might bold out a. month longer, but that the fall of the place by that time was certain. On the 28th of May, when the siege had continued-but-ten duys, a young) lilinvisan by the name of Douglass, carrying a dispatch frum Pemberton to Johnson, surrendered . himself voluntarily into the hands of the besieging forces.’ with every appearance of being a deserter. The dispatch stated that the garrison wus reduced to one meal a . day, that at that rate there was enough’ on hand for thirty days, but that: ammunition, particularly gun caps, was scarce. Whether the deserter acted in good faith, towards Grout, it is vot the time at pres~ ent to say, but the time for the disappearance of fuod from the camp of the besieg~ ed is expired, and the hour bas come for the expected surrender of Vickesburg.— From the information disseminated relativeto the circumvallation, if we may use the term, of the enemy by our forces, it would . seem that ne succor cun reach the besieged at all. The gunboata on the river, and Grant's army“lying abuut the place in the rear, hold the rebels in complete isolation from their fellows io other parts of Dixie, and no effurts of Johnaon to raise the siege appear to promise “sugcess. The last dispatch from Grant: is full of confidence, and probably, ifall reports about the scarcity of food in Vickeburg be true, the place must. before long succumb, We fear that nothing but-starvation will reduce the garrison, for, according tu all aecounts it is practically as impregnableas a place can be.
