Friday, July 18, 1862.
No train yet from Richmond. On yesterday it
was said that four divisions of our army were at
or near Gordonsville. The Federalists had not come this
side of the Rappahannock. Another batch of prison
ers, taken in Page, or thereabouts, was brought in yes-
terday. A telegraphic dispatch from Richmond, re-
ceived last evening, stated that we had gained a signal
success at Vicksburg, destroying a number of the ene-
my's gunboats. The report of Hindman's success over
Curtis, in Arkansas, is still in circulation, but we have
no authentic account of it. Rain, rain to-day.
