THE FALL OF VICKsBURq.
TUE ONLY SERIOUS DISASTER DURING TB,
LAST TWELVE MONTHS.
CFrom the Memphis Grenade Jackson- atlanta A.
peal, July 1851
Since the fall Of Vlcksburg. shaaow ~
gloom seems to have settled upon the coun
tenances Of many, and their hopes Of trinnlnf
to have suffered ut least temporary eclipse
A calm and impartial survey Of the past, and
comparison Of our then with our present sim
alton, and a glance at CUR future prospects
We think cannot fai1 to dispel such despond
ency. e~-e
The loss Of Vicksburg is really the on1v 40,
rions reverse that our arms have met with dn.
ring the past twelve months, and Its surren,
der was forced at an enormous cost to tue
enemy. 1t Is true, In certain sections our
people have suffered greatly from the royina
and robber bands ofthe enemy, but our armT'
which is the hope Of the republic, is stronoe1,
In numbers and resolution, and our eoye?n.
ment and country stronger in energy and re-
sources, than they were twelve months gone
BY: e9-1'
Within the past twelve months, elements OF
discord, discomfort and division haye snrnnr
up In the North to such an extent that the
anu~War party has become respectable and
formidable, and bids lair, ere long, to over
Whelm the Lincoln Administration and hurl
it from power. This Is not the least import
ant result Of the wars pro1ongation. The
unity Of the North hns betn effectually broken
up, and this Of itccif was full COMPENSATION
for all the rererees we have sustained. II We
are discreet In the future, md ueYote our en-
ergies to the destruction Of the army which
Lincoln now has in our territory, it is our con-
yiction that the Peace party viii do most of
the fighting that will be required to termin-
ate the war after that. To say that we cannot
drive the enemy from our borders is q humil-
iating confession and degrading to our char
acter as people. In able-bod1ed men we
outnumber their forces on our soil three to
one, and a}l that Is wanting to drive them from
our country, or bury them beneath its sod.
is resolution, courage md determination.
4 HlCH14oSD VIEW OF TIE FALL OF VICES
BURG.
"Di1ie," J. r. Thompson, writes from
Richmond to the Atlanta Appeal, July IS: y: >: =,
The news Of the fail Of Vlcksburg has
:.
mingled with surprise. The public wera not
prepared for 1t after au the confident assur-
aDces they had received of the ability of Gen.
Pemberton to hold out. The Sentinel, which
is nov regarded, properly. or improperly, as
tue government organ, holds Gen. Johnston
uailly responsible for the result, and tue i'm
mediate Representatives of the AdmInistra.
ton are said to blame him in unmeasured
terms The Eeaaniner defends General
Johnston so Tar as to deprecate hnstv and
nnintelligent censure, and considers. that
Vickhburg was already doomed to fall
before General Johnston had been
ably be court Of inquiry demanded BY Gen.
Johnston to Investigate his conduct in the
matter, If indeed he Is not brought before
court martial, as some think he Will be, under
charges to answer for the immense disaster,
In the mean time 1t is certainly due to !, eal-
liant officer WLo has rendered the most CON
spicuous services to his country, TINT public
opinion should be suspended until the proper
authority shall pronounce upon his responsi-,
bility. There has been grierous misconduct
s. nowhere; 1it can be shown that be is tue |
culpable person, on him let the public indie-
nation be visited; but do not mike him the
victim beforehand. The damnution Of The he |
General for rsverses sustained In the field Of !
operations las been the course OF the Yam |
kets all through the war, but We surely ought !
not to make Il! fortune crime.
The loss Of Ficksburg Is 20 cruel q disaster,
That It is to be hoped that Gen. Johnston will /
no longer command the confidence Of the
troops and the people In that quarter, that
some other man OF the highest military ability
may be sent to oppose the further progress Of
[he enemy.

[From the Montgomery Advertiser, ,Julyao1
There Is one thing painfully evident to
svery Intelligent observer; our armies need
more men to resist the invader. This has
been the secret Of many of our disasters. Our
authorities hare not seen tar enough ahead to
provide the rtquiEfto troops for al emergen-
y hence cur victories have been little more

There is ample power in the hands of the
Confederate and Sta Executives. The Pres.

Governor from the militia will be drafted on [
