ance obtained by Massachusetts and the other
eastern states at the formation of the federal

The Fall or vicksburg.

This is the eleventh day since the fall Of
Yicksburg. We have waited with what
patience we could for some reliable infor-
natioo of the cause Of the surrender. Moth.
ing, Of the sort has reached us. AN opin.
ion seems to prevail that there was great
scarcity, if not actual starvation, in the gar
rison. There was no information before the
public, either before or after the surrender,
that warrants such conclusion. Yankee
letters from Grants army stated only few
days before the capitulation that six h1n,
dred horses were driven out of the Confed-
crate lines. If this really occurred, it vas
the wilful waste of the means of subsis-
tenee. Horse flesh is in parts of Germany
aud France regular article Of diet, and is
no bad substitute for beef, especially such
beef as our brave soldiers are unfortunately
most accustomed to. In other cities sieges
have been maintained after every horse,and
mule had been. eaten, and men have lived
and fought and conquered on no better
food, than dogs, cats and rats. We will
not condemn General Pemberton without a
knowledge of the facts, bat it is pretty evi.
dent that heis not a Palafoz, aud that Vicks-
burg is not to have the fame. qSaragossa.
1t is due to the garrison as it b to the coun-
try that the facts should be known.

A GREAT ELEvAToR.-A Southern gen.
tleman once, at one of the hotels in Indiana,
perceiving that the dining rooua servant, a
negro, was bestowing his attention else.
where, to his neglect, called up John, and
aceosted him in this wise:
"John, 1 have servants at home, and am
waited upon as gentleman should be. I
am neglected here, and am tired of it. |
give you fair notice that I shall inform
the proprietors of your conduct, unless you
behave better"
The consequence was, John became very
attentive during the few days the gentle
man remained. On going away, the gen.
tleman called John up, and presented him
with dollar or two, which he thus acknow-
lodged:
"Thank'e massa. Southern gemmen al
ways so-reprimaud US if we don't tend
'em right, but dey always gives us dollar
or two fore dey leave, But desc Abolish.
um gemmeu mighty hard to suit, an 'quire
so much 'tention and when dey leave,
shake yer han, look up to de sky, an say,
God bless you, my unfortunate fren, an
elevate you in the scale of humanity or
somethin like dat, but dey neber gives ps a
dollar to elevate u.s." -..

PARoL1Na PRISONERS The enemy, on
the Sd of July, when Gen. Lee was driving
back their forces at Gettysburg, capturing
thousands and threatuipg their army with
rout and annihilation, published "War
Gazette. denying the power of paroling
prisoners on the battle field. This was done
toembarrass Gen. Lee with his capturers !;
it was to encumbel his army with prisoners,
necessitating large details to guard and con-
vey them to Richmond. Thus the enemy
hoped to so cucumber Lee as to prevent his
advance. -.
Now, Vicksburg had no ,telegraphic COM
munication with Washington, and on the
next day Gen. Grant captured, according to
various accounts, from $4,000 to $4,000
prisoners, aud paroled them on the battle
field, in direct violation of the terms of this
"War Gazette" The enemy enforced this
"War Gazette" by forciug into the ranks

terms of the enemy's "War Gazette"

Another Call.

The President now calls for all men up
to forty jiSe The Richmond Enquirer
insists that two classes Of men, now out of
service, should be forthwith called into the
field.
l. All those who have furnished sub.
stitutes for the war. Many Of these are
young and hearty men whe have remained
at home, and sent broken.down old men to
represent them in the ranks. In many ca.
ses the old men hare been. discharged, by
death or the doctor, after q few aoeets or
months service, and yetthose who employed
them, remain at home, sHd claim exemp-
ton for the war! The Enquirer very
properly considers this an evil (which should
be promptly corrected, BY the enrolment Of
these parties to serve, no longer utcartous!y,

The Press.
The Montgomery Aduertiser says:

The press is in no small degree respon-
sible for the delusions which two common
ly prevail in the popular mind relative to
the situation of affairs. Instead of being
the outspoken. organs Of truth, there seems
to be false pride, to be considered the
exponents Of governmental or army conf.
dence, at the expense ofindependence. We
have had q sad illustration of this sort Of
journalism during the late siege of Vicks.
burg, and now experience the modification
of defeat, after having been assured, day
after day and week after week, that Vicks.
burg was safe and could hold out an indef:'
finite time. rs
The remedy for all this lies in the stern
maxim-let the truth be told though the
heavens fall. In a popular Government
like ours there can be'no more radical er.
ror than to keep the people in ignorance.
Such principle shakes the public faith,
undermines, the whole structure, and, if
persisted in, will finally destroy the Gov
eminent. Confidence is a beautiful thing
when founded;on reasonable assurance of
safety, from known facts; but without this
everything is, uncertain and doubtful
Therefore, the Government, press and peo-
pie should be frank and candid with each
other, so that knowing the common dan.
ger, all unite heartily to avert it.

A SCENE AT THE TU1LERIEs.-A cor
respondent Of an English journal describes
scandalous scene which recently occurred
during bali at the Tuileries. A young
noblemau, the Emperor's leader Of the CO.
tillon, selected young lady who had been
the leading star Of the ball TO share with
him the honors of his sovereignty, to,the
great modification and vexatiop of another
lady present, who in her day had been
beauty, had led the cotillion, and been pro
claimed the star Of fashion. It SO happen
ed that the seat occupied by this woman
was absolutely necessary for the figure a.
bout to be danced, and her successful rival
requested permission to occupy it. A curt.
refusal was the reply vouchsafed. "Then
we must lessen the circle," replied Made
moiselle calmly, and her partner, procuring
chair, placed it directly before the female,
who cplored with rage and indignation, and
the moment that Mademoiselle had seated
herself began kicking her on tho shins and
pushing the chair with her knees, and, al
though requested to desist, only repeated
the offensivetreatment with more energy.
The insulted belle, appealed to N II Murat,
Who volunteered to exchange places, and
was proceeding to occupy. the obnoxious
chair when it was kicked over the floor right
into the middle of the cotillioni OF course
the dance ceased at once, the Empress was
informed Of the circumstances, the offenders
husband was sent for, aud the irritated ex-
beauty was escorted from the hall by her
liege lord, bestoWing as she went most
scornfnl glance upon her triumphant rival
The next day the offending lady received
her, disiauitation for the Tuileries In due
form, and, as it is the FIRST time such a Ger.
emouy has been gone through, Of course it
has created no small sensation.

We have destroyed the Constitution of

We have demoralized our pulpits, so that

Instead of being servants of Christ, our

was Of vermin in the days of Pharaoh.
We are rapidly degenerating in every.
thing that exalts nation.
Our civilization is perishipg.
We are swiftly drifting into inevitable
civil war here in the North.
We are turning our homes into charnel

Proclamation Of the President.

We publish in another column the pro.
clamation of President Davis, requiring ser.
vice in the military of more of our citizens.
The call which heretofore embraced citizens
only up to the age Of forty, is now extend
ed to the age of forty-fve. This is render
ed necessary by the large additional force
which Lincoln is drafting for our subjuga:
ton. We must meet him and his instru-
ments with the whole strength Of the Con.
federacy, and with the zeal and resolution
of freemen who are determined to remain
free or die, and resolved never to bow the
neck.to Yankee yoke above all others
1t will be seen that the privilege of volun-
tesriug in any company and in any arm of
the service, instead of waiting upon the ac-
ton of the conscript officers, is held out to
the citizens now called upon. This privi.
lege they will doubtless be swift to avail
themselves of, as there is scarcely q man
who has not some friend in the army by
whose side be would prefer to.stand, rather
than be placed among strangers. The proc.
lamation of the President will find our peo.
pie 10 fine frame to receive it. Our ex-
changes show that the most heroic spirit
prevails in all quarters: Everywhere the
cry is heard, the country must be defended
at every cost |!

call may be made, and who are not at such
time, legally exempted from military SER
vice, or such part thereof as in bis judg:
meut may be necessary to the public de-
fence. =
Aud whereas, in my judgment, the ne

to do his duty in the defence of his coun-
try and in driving back the invaders now
within The limits of the, ,Confederacy.

direct that all persons subject to this call
and not now in the military service, do,
upon being enrolled, forthwith repair to the

under pain Of being held and punished as
deserters IN the event Of their failure to
obey this call, as provided in said laws.
And l do further order and direct, that
the enrolling. officers of the several States
proceed at once to enroll all persons en-

And do further order, that it shall be
lawful for any person embraced within this
call to volunteer for service before enroll

ded such company be deficient to the full
number of men allowed by law for its or
ganization. 6.
