Telegraphed to the Peoria Mail.
Vicksburg, April 21.
Official dispatches received here last night say that a portion of Admiral Porter’s fleet, with a large number of soldiers from General Grant’s army, have succeeded in running the batteries at Vicksburg, and are now in a condition to either help Banks in an attack on Port Hudson or to make an assault on Vicksburg from the South.
