The Jail Hostages,

Mr. Greeley recently threatened in his
overbearing way another New York editor
that the newspaper press should be bent to
the support of the Lincoln dynasty, or the
editors be sent to jail We copy below the
spirited reply of the Express:
BRooKs VS.. GREELEY.-Now Mr.. Greeley
and the Express and the public may just as
well understand one another. If Mr.. b. is
kidnapped and taken to Washington prison.
as many others have been from this city and
State, 5000 men will band together to
kidnap Mr.. G.. and keep him as hostage for
the safe return of the Washington victim
Fort Lafayette now is not strong enough to
hold a State prisoner imprisoned for politics.
No soldier Of Democratic or Whg antecei
dents, will, guard such prisoner. Or even
If they did, posse comitdt"s, under sheriff,
100000 strong, can be summoned to bring
him out. A thorough understanding of all
these things may save the city and the State
a world of trouble, because the E'rpress in
tends hereafter very tearlessly, to discuss
the perverted issues of this war, and dare
the consequences. When and where free
press, amenabe only to the laws, cannot be
published, life is not worth having.

AS to the Stability of Mining Towns

Ever since California has been settled, there
has been class of croakers who have pre-
dicted that the villages throughou. the
mines would eventually be deserted, aud
that property in them would soon become
worthless. Yet there is hardly place in
the State which has ever had any impor
tance, but what is to day in as fourishing a
condition as at any former period. Those
towns which have been abundantly sup,
piled with water for mining purposes, have
been able to irrigate their gardens, and
fruit trees now adorn and enrich almost
every house in our pleasant mining camps.
Instead of their bleak and barren appearance
presented in the early days, the villages of
California will compare tavorably in point
of comfort and beauty with those Of older
settled communities. 1t is true that Placer
diggings, which mainly supported the camps
in former times, have been worked out;
but the patient aud industrious miner con
stantly developes new mineral resources,
and still purchases his supplies in the larger
towns. AS gold becomes scarce, more en-
during mines are discovered, and silver and
copper bid fair to become as valuable as was
the more precious dust The rich soil of
the mountains and the smaller valleys
among the foothills give employment to
farmers and stock growers, who contribute
their mite toward enriching the merchants,
citizens, and laborers of the mining towns.
We do not expect that real estate in our
ming villages will increase in value to the
extent it will in the seaboard cities, but
there is little danger that it will ever be
worth less than at present,

Democratic Platform of New Hampshire

Lest some one might doubt that the De-
mocracy of New Hampshire repudated Uni
Gle be and all his Abolition hosts we will
append the platform on which the contest
was made.
The Democracy of New Hampshire, in
this fearful crisis of our national affairs, for.
getting all minor questions, will recognize
only those preat principles which concern
the salvation Of the country, and they appeal
to the Union-loving and patriotic people of
the State for support of those principles, as
expressed in the following resolutions, at the
coming election:
ReSot0ed, That the only object of all
good citizens at this time should be the
preservation of the Constitution as it is and
the restoration of the Union as it was, and
for this purpose, we will cordially unite
with true Union men everywhere in the
support of the Federal Government, to main
tain its safety. integrity, and righttul supre
macy by all constitutional means.
ReSolved. That the Constitution, as franz
ed by the fathers of our country is sufficient
for all emergencies, and we utterly repudiate
the doctrine that in time of war, or at any
time, it can be suspended or enlarged in its
powers beyond the letter and true meaning
of that sacred instrument. 1t is to us, as
it was to our fathers, the only hope for a
perfect Union to establish Justice, more do
mestic tranquility, promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty
to ourselves and our posterity, and ifobserved
in its letter aud spirit is sufficient to secure
us, as it has to them these inestimable bless
ings.
Resol0ed, That the arbitrary arrest and
Imprisonment, of citizens for political often
ses, and the suspension of the writ of habeas
corpus in loyal States, arose from violations
of our national and State constitutions, and
tyrannical infractons of the rights and iber
ties of American citizens which cannot be
tolerated in free county, and that the
people Of this State cannot and will not all
low the freedom of speech and Of the press,
that great safeguard to civil liberty, to be
put down by unwarlanted and despolc exer-
else of power, from whatever source.
Resoiced, That we unquaitiedly condemn
the late proclamation, AS unwarranted by
the Constituton--in violation of the solemn
ly plighted faith of the Administration a,
the commencement Of the war-and if pre-
sisted in, fatal to all hopes of restored
Union.
Resoloed That while remembering will
pride the courage and eallantry Of our sol.
ders now in the field, we tender sympathy
to the friends Of those who have fallen il
the defence of the Constitution and the
Union.
ResolOed, That the Democracy Of New
Hampshire congratulate the Democracy o
their sister States on their recent gloriou:
triumphs at the ballot box. 1t inspires us
with new courage and hope that our coun
try may yet be saved.
With that sterling Democrat, Ira p East
man, for our standard bearer, we will give
battle to our political adversares, and will
demand of them an unconditional surrender,
thus placing the Granite State side by side
with thu ose already in the advance upon the
broad platform of the Constitution as it is,
and the Union as it was.

it." The people, in the change which is
taking place, are far ahead of the politicians
Go into private households and in the farm
er's houses all over the State, among the
people who are not seeking for political in
huences and who have no wish for public
position, and there will be heard the most
bitter denunciations Of the policy and meas
ures of the Administration. They know and
feel that grinding burdens are being placed
upon them not 'to sustain the Union" but
to give mere partsans the political control of
the Government.

A LITTLE GRAVE.

A little grave where daisies grow;
A little body lying low;
That is all the world may know.
But our hearts
Hold a baby sweet and fair,
A little child with sunny hair,
Child of tenderest love and care
Meenie, Meenie!
In the sweet Spring of her day,
We gave her to the lonely clay,
From our tear-dimmed eyes away.
How we loved her none can tell;
They who have loved like us, as we'll,
Loved and lost, alone can tell
Meenie, Meenie!
Wistful shadows in her eyes,
Like the dreamy haze that lies
Trembling in the Summer skies;
And the burden of fear,
All unspoken, yet so near,
Fell on us that weary year
Meenie, Meenie!
Shrinking from the children's glee,
Keeping close to mothers knee,
Or in arms that tenderly
Watched her fading, faded She
Faded she, our blossom fair,
Our little child with sunny hair,
Child of tenderest love and care
Mecnie, Meenie
Swift the seasons come and go;
Thickly falls the drifting snow
O'er little grave we know;
But her feet
Have passed in at pearly door,
Have trod the shining golden floor,
Fair and fadeless evermorc-
Meenie, Meenie!

Pm standing in the mud, Biddy,
With not spalpeen near,
And silence, speechless as the grave
Is all the sound hear.
My goon is at showlder arms,
I'm wetted to the bone,
And whin Pm afther spakin' out,
find meself alone.
The Southern climates quare, Biddy,
A quare and bastly thing,
With winter absent all the year,
And summer in the spring.
Ye mind the hot place down below!
And may ye never fear,
I'd dthraw comparisons-bu then,
It's awful warrum here.
The only moon see, Biddy,
Is one shmal star, ashore,
And that's fornint the very cloud
1t was behind before
The watchiires glame along the hill,
That's swellin' to the South,
And when the sentry passes them,
l see his oogley mouth.
It's dead for shape, am Biddy,
And dramcin shwate I'd be,
If them ould Rebels over there,
Would only lave me free.
But whin lane against shtump,
And strives to get repose,
A musket ball be's comm straight
To hit my spacious nose.
It's ye I'd like to see, Biddy,
A shparkin' here wild me,
And then, avourncen, hear you say,
cushla-Pat-m macree"
"Och, Biddy, darent, thin,' says |,
Says you, "get out of that"
Says |, my arrum mates your waist
Says you, "be dacent Pat"
And how's the pigs and ducks, Biddy,
It's them think Of sure
They looked so innocent and shwate
Upon the Parlor floor;
I'm suresye'rc aisy with the pig,
That's fat as he can be,
And fade him with the best, because
I'm towld he looks like me.
When l come home again, Biddy,
A sargent tried and thrue,
Its joust dacent house I'd build.
And rint it chape to you,
Well have parlor, bedroom, hall
And duck pond nately done,
With kitchen pig pen, praty-patch,
And garret-all in one.
But, Murther there's baste, Biddy,
That's crapin' round a tree,
And well l know the craturc's there
To have a shot at me.

And howld your dirty paw,

BELIEF FOR NEURALGIA As this dread,
fu disease is becoming more prevalent than,
formerly, as the doctors have not found any
method Or medicine that will permanently
cure it, we simply state that for some time
past a member of our family has suffered
most intensely from it, and could find no.
relief from any remedy applied, until we
saw an article which recommended the ap.
plicatlon Of bruised horse-radsh to the face
tor toothache. AS neuralgia and toothache
are both nervous diseases, we thought the
remedy for one would be likely to cure the
other, so we made the application to the
side of the body where the disease was seat,.
ed. 1t gave instant relief to the severe
attack of the neuralgia Since then we have
appind it several times, and with the same
gratifying results. The remedy is simple,
cheap, and may be within the reach Of ever

Point, brings back rebel news and files of
Richmond papers to July 4.
Profound ignorance was existing as to the
whereabouts of Lees forces and the progress
OF the battle. The rebel authorities had per.
emptorily ordered Lees return. The belief
was current that he was safe in the Shenan-

have driven our forces four miles, to Tun.

History of tho siege of vicashurg.

The following account of the events pre-
ceding the fall OF Vicksburg, which we take
from the New York Evening Post, will be
found to possess an interest at this time;-
The plans for taking Vicksburg. which
promised well last year, were frustrated by
the destruction of Holly Springs by the ele-
my, and the consequent retreat Of Grants ar
my, leaving Sherman alone to cope with the
forces under Pemberton, from jackson, and
the garrison at Vicksburg. The retreat, the
taking OF Arkansas Post, the return of our
troops, the digging of canals, the expedition
up the Yazoo river, and the contemporary
movements, form class of events by them
selves which have led to no very important
results, and which it is not our present pur-
pose to consider.
But the series of movements which have
led to the present close investment of Vicks-
burg began on the 10Th of April, 1868, when
our troops from various quarters began to
converge towards that point. 1t is proverb-
tally "A slow process to move volunteer corps
from their quarters, and accordingly our army
presented the spectacle of one division after
another strung out all the way to Bruinsburg,
where the plan of the commander began to
develop itself in the movement upon Port Glib.
son. Then followed the series of victories
which have made this campaign so remarka-
Bile. The first battle was fought at Port Glib
son on the LIST of May, resulting in the capture
of a thousand prisoners and five pieces of can
non. The second took place at Ray mond,
where the enemy saw his lines broken, and
was put to the rout. The third was at Jack
son, the capital of Mississippi, from which
our troops drove the rebels, and where they
destroyed military stores of the value of three
millions of dollars, and, leaving untouched the
state house as an edifce sacred to civil pur-
poses, demolished all the manufactures and
public buildings used for purposes of war.
desperate attempt was now made by tho
enemy to revenge himself for these losses.
He hoped to take us by surprise, and with
this design in view General Joe Johnston di-
vided his forces and ordered Pemberton to
cross the Black river with twenty-five thou
sand men, and attack our army in the rear
He found us ready to receive him, and the re-
suit was precisely what has always taken
place when detachment of soldiers encoun-
tiers main body. The attacking force was
repulsed, cut in two, routed and dispersed,
losing tifty-seven pieces of cannon out of
sixty. This decisive action took place on the
10th of May, at Champion Hills, or Bakers
Creek. Our army Immediately crossed Black
river, and strangely enough, without encoun-
tering any resistance. They were on their
way to fifth victory. At Edwards Station
occurred an action in which, after standing
their ground for few moments, the rebels
broke and fed, taking refuge within the works
which we have since twice unsuccessfully as
saulted, and the strength of which is thus
fully proved.
