AT vICksnuR.:,

By the bill lately introduced in Con-
gress providing for Qualifications at Mem
phis. Helena. Napoleon. Na,chez and the
Mouth of Red River. as reported in the
telegraph, it appeared that Vicksburg was
omitted as point for Notifications. We
learn from parties who are posted that
the telegraph reported it wrong. and that
Nicksburg is also included in the list
that the government is taking vigorous
steps and will soon send agents and pro-
per officers 10 look for a proper site for
the erection OF such Notifications, at or
near the city. The question as to the
proper site for the location of these works
is the first and most important TO be taken
into consideration The old fort which
was commenced above this city last srring
has long since been abandoned. for what
reason we have never learned. but it is
generally conceded that the site is a bad
one and entirely unsuited for the purpose
for which it was intended. Some time
in the fall Col. Fontain of this State con-
ceived the idea of erecting Notifications
opposite this point on the Louisiana shore.
but not having any jurisdiction on Louis
lana soil, ard the authorities of that State
declining to co operate with US. the project
was abandoned, and since then nothing
has been done towards it.
A project is now on foot looking to-
wards Paw Paw Island as the proper site
for the location of fort TO project this
city. This point is obviously the place
wherethe WORK should be dcne. 1t would
insure the safety of the city. by having ii
out of reach of the enemy's guns, so that
they could not shell the city. and prevent
them from ascending the Yazoo river,
which would also cut them off from en-
tering our city from the rear. By this
arrangement we can make a fortifcation
that will protect this city and the Yazoc
Valley. If we fortify anywhere below
the mouth of the Yazoo, the enemy's
transports can carry his troops up that
stream. and at the first point of high land
disembark and approach our city from
the rear. Then our forts would be use
less. and the city would be surrounded
and cut off from communication will
them. Besides this it would insure the
enemy free access and control of the en-
tire Yazoo Valley Vicksburg Citizen.

CORN! CORN! CORN!

Now is the time to prepare for the
largest corn crop that ever grew on South
ern soil. With the last years cotton
crop in the gin houses and sheds, and
the certainty that moderate crop of the
''great staple" for this year will be am
ply sufficient to supply all demands, it is
the part of wisdom for our planters and
farmers to 'spread themselves" for the
biggest corn and provision crop ever
made in this country. Therefore, let not
q moment be lost. Now is the time to
keep the plows steadily running, turning
up the stiff clay lands 10 the sun and
rain and air-bnrying under all grass.

with deep and wide water furrow TO
carry off the surplus moisture, SO that
your ground will be dry for early plant
ing. And if you avoid drought-ihe
great enemy of cOrn-be sure and pillow
deep and also lay off your drills so that
you can plant deep-that is. so deep
that when the tiny green shoots first
break through the wide drill, they may
be two OF three inches below the surface
of the middles. To plant thus, YOU must
open deep and wide drills, and throw the
earth back so as not to fill the furrow
within two or three inches. Use all the
manure you can get +; but remember that
a deep pluughing without manure is bet
tel than shallow scratching with ever
SO much in our scorching climate.
Corn makes bread, and bacon and
poultry, and beef. and fat horses and
mules. 1t is the "all in all-the staff of
life" for the South it will feed our ar
mics and help TO vanquish our foes. 1t
is the great food crop of this continent.
and one of the greatest blessings of the
earth ; therefore prepare now to cover a
larger surface than ever before TO plant
and cultivate in better style. and, with
Gods blessing, TO harvest large crop

A SINGULAR PRoPHEGy.-The following cir
cumstance recently occurred at Pensacola,
and its truth is vouched for by reliable Off
Ger of the army:
A soldier in the Confederate service fell
into a long and profound sleep, from which
his comrades vainly essayed to arouse him.
At last he woke up himself He then stated
that be should die the next afternoon at four
O'Clock. for it was so revealed to him in his
dream He said in the last week of the
month of April would be fought the greatesl
and bloodlest battle of modern times, and
that early in May peace would break upon the
land more suddenly and unexpectedly than
the war had done in the beginning. The
first part of the prophetic dream has been
realized, for the soldier died the next day at
four o'clock, p. NJ. viii the rest be in April
and May =? Let believers in dreams wait and
see-Hoble Advertiser.
