Vicksburg has not yet been taken
Com. Porter commenced Smelling the city
about June 9th, and with the aid OF the
eunboats has no doubt it could soon be
taken. but there being no land force, it
would be impossible to hold the place in
the face of Lowell and Van Dorns army
of 10000 men.
The women and children have been
removed to some distance from Vicksburg
on the line of the jackson Railroad,
dwelling in holes dug along the hiilsides.

Mowers.
The Illinois State Agricultural Society
have determined to have practical test Of
reapers and mowers, this year. during
harvest time, instead of waiting until the
annual fair, and then. as heretofore, make
their awards upon apparent merit merely.
This is a good plan. 1t will work to the
advantage of both farmers and manufactur.
ers of reapers The farmer will have the
| bereit of actual trials for their guidance
in purchasing machines, and the latter,
who really have superior harvesters, will
not be thrust aside by mere pretentions.
Dixon has been selected as the place for
holding the trial, which is appointed to
commence on the ODD inst, and con.
tinue several days. The following are
among the regulations which will govern
the occasion
| The following liberal awards will be
made to the competing machines:
For best combined and mower Dip. and SIS 90
For pest reaper. ana 20 W
For best ne-hoTse mower Dip and $50 90
best heading machiue. Dip. and ESQ W

awards will be publicly announced.
The details of the requirements for the
trials and scale of points will be SUCH as
