Aforesaid Yankees have met with at Vicks-

career she commenced open hostilities
against al rogues, sgindlers, highway rob
bers, narauders and gamblers, 'omni genus,
and that her recent conduct towards the
pirates that attempted her destruction, is
but IN keeping with her past history.
La 1888 she made an onslaught on

When secession come floating along on
the autumn breeze Of 1860, Vicksburg was
for the Union. But, when the State
severed the ties which once bound her to
the Union, Vicksburg cast aside her aifec-
ton for the stars and stripes aud linked
her distiny with the newborn government
which the love Of freedom and the aversion

And we say il, without the fear Of contra
diction, she has furnished more men, and
voluntarily contributed more means to-
wards the war, than any city ofeQuaI pop
ulation in the Southern Confederacy.
And lastly, she hasconquered and driven
back two combined aeets-one Of which

largest city ia the Southern Confederacy
and the other the rising and prosperous

Vicksburg has established the fact that
iron clad gunboats are not invulnerable.
They can run past her batteries, it is true,
but they can neither land nor silence the
batteries, and every attempt proves very
detrimental to their vessels. When the

KEKPISG EeGs-HaVing tried many
ways of preserving eggs, l have found the
following to be the easiest, cheapest,
%surest, and best, Take your crock, keg,
or barrel, according to the quantity you
have, cover the bottom with half an inch
salt, and set your eggs close together ON
the small end; be very particular to put
the small end down; for if put in any
other position, they will not keep as well
and the yolk will adhere to the shell:
sprinkle them over with salt, so as to fill
the interstices, and then put in another
layer of eggs, and cover with salt, and so
on. till your vesseli is filled. Cover it tight,
and put it where 1t win not freeze, and
the eggs will keep perfectly fresh and
good any desirable length of time.

A FABLR-A young man once picked
up a sovereign lying in the road. Ever
| afterwards as he. walked along he kept
his eyes fixed steadily upon the ground,
in homes TO find another. And in the
course of a long life he did pick up at
different times a goodly number of coins,
gold and silver. But all these years,
while he was looking for them, he saw not
that the heavens were bright above him,
and nature beautiful around. He never
once allowed his eyes to look up from the
mud and filth in which he sought the
treasure; and when he died-a rich old
mamie only knew this fair earth of ours
as a dirty road in which to pick up money
as you walk along!
