4 HEHukE.-Ihe following is an
extract from communication which
lately appeared in the vicksburg
Wing:
1t is matter Of modification that
officers entrusted with the defense of
this Gbraltcr of the South, should
indulge in any practices calculated
to lose the confidence of the army,
and to lose its moral power. The
very night the "1ndianola" passed
our city, some Of the high officers
were ''tripping the light fantastic
toc' viii. some Of the ladies who
! have not taken Gen. Pcmbertcn' s ad-
vice to leave town; and on Sunday
last the people received the impress
sion from certain movements of the
officers that an attack was expected
in torty-eisht hours, and yet "piping
and dancing have been the order Of
the night for every night this week.
and the day has had to be occupied
in all The little arrangements for the
night. o! is this not sad mockery
OF the sacrifices, the hopes and the
fears Of the people Of this city and
this State, and Of the distress and
want in our army, and especially in
our hospitals! There is time for
all things, but surely Vicksburg is
no, the place, nor is this the time for
revrlings and banquctings. Ho"
can we expect a hcly God TO bless
our arms with victory when our chief
men in authority are provoking His
wrath every day Of all people Oh
earth, We ought to fear God most,
and strive most TO avoid His dis
pleasure and secure His favor. How
disheartcning it is to sit i'll the Sane
tuary Of God, listening to the ear
nest and atiectionate appeals of His
minister to the soldiers to conSecrate
themselves to God, and to hear the
sounds of music played to the dance
not two hundred yards away, with
the reflection that there are the oii-
GERS in command of our defenses,
giving themselves up to merriment
and levitv, right in the face of a
cruel hearted and relentless, savage
ensmy, who is constantly plotting
our destruction
Shreveport weekly news., 1863-04-20

We think it high time that the
mail arrangements between Natchi-
tochss and this place was improved
The negligence and tardiness Of

public interest demands that the
matter be properly Investigated, and
