A RIGHT AND WRONG Tine

A RIGHT AND WRONG Time
Our Vicksburg contemporaries earn
estly dePreciate the propositions
entertained by some to destroy that
city rather than ALLOW the enemy to
occupy it. This question has been
discussed in all its bearings by the
press Of the Confederacy, and the
impression seems to be universal
that if the policy Of desolation We're
to be pursued, it should have been
commenced long ago. The first city
of Importance which yielded to Fed
eral bayonets was Nashville; it's
destruction would have been heralded
as an act Of wanton barbarism; yet
at that time, had the citizens of
Nashville, of their own free consent,
laid their beautiful city in ashes at the
approach Of the enemy, to such a
feeling would the entire people not
only of the State, but the whole
South, have been raised, that Ten
ressee would soon have been too
hot to hold the invader. Everything
depended upon the time Of inaug
uratins such a policy, and its COM
mencemcnt now would be unattended
with any of the effects sought to be
obtained. After Nashville, New
Orleans, Baton Rouge, Natahez, Nor
folk and fredericksburg have been
suffered to fell intothe enemy's hands
other than as holocausts, the destruc-
Of Eiskshurg by its own citizens
would much resemble cutting off
ones nose TO spite his face. 1t is
worse than folly-positively repre-
hensiblc-to urge such {; policy, now
that the day has long since passed
when it might have been beneficial.
