cAPITULATION OF vIcKsBURo.


The report Of the operations of the Army of
the Tennessee, fnum lthsl dsy NJ. Gen. Grant
assumed immediate command of the, expedition
against Vlcksburgf 70 the surrender Of that
place, is long, but remarkably interesting.
He pays high and deserved complimess,to
Admiral Porter and the very efficient naval off,
GERS under him. without their prompt and
cordial support, h. says, bis movements woald
have been much embarrassed, u not ,choliv de.
Csatsd. The terms on which the garrison or
vlcksburg surrendered he regarded a. more
favorable to the Government than an uncon-
ditional surrender. siIt {he remarks) saved
us the transportation OF them North, which
at that time would. have been very diff
fcult, owing b 70 TIN limited amount or
river transportation on hand, and the expense
Of subsisting them. It left oar army free 70

troops to any point the sSsency Of thsservics

MAJOR GGNERAL FRANK r. RLAlR
We are glad to welcome to this city again
the distinguished officer aud hero whose name
stands at the head Of this article. He arrived
this morning, accompanied by portion Of his
staff, and called to pay his respects to the
President this afternoon. The splendid tri-
umphs of Major General Grant Ia the South
west are attributable, IN great part, to the
fact that he was surrounded by host OF brave
and skillful officers, who, like Blair, knew how
to lead their men, AID did not fear TO do IL.
Gen. Blair has mounted moustache and pair
Of whiskers since he left here, which, together
with deep brown complexion, acquired by ex.
posure to the sun and wind, makes him look
like hero, as he Is.
We hope some appropriate public demon
stratlon of respect will he shown Gen. Blair BY
our citizens before he returns to the field again.
II Is due him for his gallant services. Grant
and his Generals will live In history % surely
as Washington and his Generals" or " Napo.

The Confederate Loan.

The London Star, speaking of the rebel
cotton loan, says: If the rebels succeed
in establishing their independence, the
Confederate Government will be in posi-.
ton to hand over the promised cotton, OF
to subsequently redeem the bond, if i,
chooses; for it may not unlikely repudiate,
seeing that President Davis has had some
experience 10 that line already. Here,
then, is one not inconsiderable risk to the
lenders; bot even that assumes the success
of the Co1federates in this war. Now. is
that success, we shall not say so certain,
bu. so probable as to induce persons here
to risk the money on it The South has
carried on the war for two years, it is true,
and its leaders express determination not to
yield; but here is clear confession of ex-
hsustion in this proposed loan, in the very
fact that they come to Europe asking for
material assistance, while the Federal Gov.
ernment, which has carried on the war on
even much larger scale than the South,
stall possesses boundless material resources
within itself, and has met expressions of
determination from the South with expires
sions equally resOlute."

CHILDHOOD.

Away, up the broad, rolling river Of life,
In Fancy's light boat let US rapidly row
Far beyond the base war of inglorious strife,
Till we reach fair isle that we left years ago
Like vision of light, it will burst ON the sight
For our Childhood was left on that sunny
| green shore,
All White robbed and pure, in its radiance bright
Long ago twas left there, and we've seen i,
no more.
But there stand the bowers, robed in sunligh,
and green.
| Where all the day long we in infancy played
Until Day gave his throne to Nights lovely queen
Then on pillows of roses and violets made.
On a SOFT messy couch we lay down to repose,
Our little thoughts hushed by lullaby low,
As mothers sweet song on the airy waves rose,
And our spirits seemed Graded in glory below.
But our barque from that island soon Aoated
And the soul from its prison looked forth With
delight,
For before u.s. in beauty, invitingly lay
The green fields of youth, enchantingly bright.
The breezes came laden with perfume the while.
Through the great tent above, hung with azure
and gold;
The Sun looked SO merry that Earth could but
smile,
As she flung back his chances from each hill
top and void
We sang loud in our see, as we stepped on the
shore,
And first breathed the perfume from its spices
and bloom
o. that hour, with its joy. comes again never
more,
For tbs locked up by Time, in his great family
tomb
The door or our hearts, then, wide open was
flung,
For we fancied the beautiful only went in;
Life seemed a sweet song, its best notes yet
unsung.
Who could sing it the best, greenest laurels
would win.
But anon. flying couriers rushed through the
BRAIN
The blood, in wild terror, few swift on its
course;
The food gates of feeling, pushed open by Pain,
Swung back on their hinges with terrible force.
For among the white roses and lilies, We found
On the hearts inner altar. that sacred was kept,
A venOmous serpent was closely coiled round
The foe had crawled in while the sentinel slept.
Then We turned, with sigh. to that "sunny,
green isle"
And we longed to go back to its radiant shore.
But Time shook his head, with a sorrowful smile,
And said. Coward, right on, and look back
nevermOre." Wv.

A STEAM GRIsr MLL-After many vain en-
deavors heretofore to establish O Grist Mill in
this place, there is now n strong probability Of
its being accomplished. Mr. James II. Brown,
provided he receives sufficient encouragement
from our citizens, designs putting up mill that
will in all respects satisfy the wants of the peo-
pie of this section in this particular. and have it
in running order 10y the time the new crop of
wheat is ready for the miller. AS we have said
before, there is no branch of business that would
more conduce TO the prosperity of the town than
the erection of good Touring mill. and We
hope that Mr.. Brown will be suitably encouraged,
as he has got the business talent to carry the
project out in shape.
