From The Daily News July %.
The Fourth OF July will heDcetOrtb be as memo
rable in the military annals OF the American Union
as il sready s in the political history Of the people
IL will be the anniversary Of IA double victory Tor
the Union at the uost critical ceniers oil mill
tary activity in the East and the West. On the 4th
of July VicksburR surrendered TO the Union forces
undor Gen. Grant, and the morning OF the tame day
saw the invading army Of the Conit derutes, under
Cen. Lee, IN full retreat toward the Potomac IL 10
certainly singular AID striking coincidence that on
the same day. and that, too, day 30 memorable IN
American history the great Confederate stronghold
Of the Mississippi should have fallen, and the great
Confederate invasion Of the North have been aban-
doned as a failure.
| The fall Of Vcksburg is, however, a far more ss
rious blow " the South than the failure Of Gen
/ Lee. Southern wrlters and statesmen have from
the frat Justly considered the lossetsion OF tins
stronghold and the command OF the Mississippi,
which secures, an essential not only TO tho success
but to the very existence Of the Confederacy. Mr.
Jefferson Davis, the head Of the COnfederacy, IL the
man best able TO Judge Of i.s importance, and We
have OIL record bis emphatic testimony on this head
In the speech he delivered the 10Th OF Last De-
cenber 10 the Legislature Of Mississippi be pointed
out that the grand object Of the North was 10 get
possession Of the river and thus cut the
Conlederacy In two," and dwelt at great
length ON the vital importance Of defeat
! ing the enemy's fatal designs in this oirec-
ton. "He considered the defense Of the Mississippi
Valley necessity not only TO the people Of the nd
jaceni States, but to the Confederscy itself Vicks
burg and Port Hudson are forts which must be
defended at all hazards, aud every effort must be
a,,an.d for tbis nnroose - These a "a Mr. Jefefson
