THE FALL Or StChSBuhS.
We copy the following article from th
Vicksburg WING" OF the 10th instant:
The time is up-the die is cast, and the tat'
Of vicksburs is sealed. With the evacuation
of Fort Pillow followed the fall of Memphis
after gallant but unsuccessful defense above
the city By our cotton feet, under General Jet
Thompson and Captsin Ed. Montgomery. W.
had hoped that our government.would hole
the river above Memphis as long rs we kept thu
enemy at bag here; but it has seen fit to DO 9th
erwise, snd now the contest for this lmprotan'
stream is alnsot closed. We had perfect conf
dencs in the ability oil our forces mere to repel any
attack Of tho enemy wooden heet from below
but We cannot expect them to successfully cope
With con oined attack from above and below
All the ether towns on the river havo fallen 10
TO their hands, and now their whole force vii
be concentrated here Our city must, there
fore, We think, soon fall into the hands OF the
eaelny, and consequently it behooves the PEG.
pie to calmly contemplate the realities around
them. Owl, political and individual liberty
will not only be destroyed, but all tracss Of
freedom o5lite-a,ed. Conquest, booty, rcvenge
spi destruction of our institutions arc the mo-
tl9os wnic.: animate the miserable horIes which
ais row closing in around us.
Those Hho intend to remain here under the
roll Of tyranny must make up their minds to
80 through a fiery ordeal, for when the toe
gets iuIl possession OF the city he will put
trs foot down firmly" Every man must, in
these trying times, judge and act for himseli,
pursuing thst course which free, educated,
high spirited and chivalric people, struggling
sgainst great odds for the preservation OF their
birthright Of land and hberty, should, and ell
WAYS do pursue.
But zee would remark that all should guard
well sgalns. taking thu oath 10 support the
Federal government. Let mono prove so lc-
creant To our causa-none so far forget them
selves Is 10 be forced to swear allegiance to q
government go obnoxious to every Southern
neart- Sooner would we welcome our winding
sheet-socner would We suffer incarceration
in dungeon, and allow our bones to rot there
than swear allegiance to the Yankee govern
ment snd its supporters in their unhoiy cru
SADIE.
We would advise all men, OF all classes, to
lei no .ile fears take possession Of them. The
man " ho lears ceases to be msn, and the
people who doubt endsnger their cause
Energy and concerted action, with brave spirits
All gallant leaders, will yet secure for our
peop!e Ill they desire. Liberty is not to be
purchased in the market Of venal, political
gamblers, but with the best blood Of the land.
All will yet be safe, if VIC conduct ourselves
with calm resolution, sustained Iortituas Ind
