of centuries of dwelling in awful solitude, through
sultry summer heats, through angry winter tenn

thunders crash and rattle, have wrought out their
effects IN that calm, stern, earnest face, so full of
conscious strength, of patient endurance such
traits of character as associate with our magin-
ings Of the Pilgrims who, living amid stern ma

regret partly Of relief, that turned away out of
sight of the Old Man of the Mountain" and
pursued my way over hill and through wooded
vale, to the Crawford House," where four SEN
tinel bears, tread increasingly their measured
beat. Here l spent another night. The first
thing meeting my sight in the morning, was those
bears, still walking back and forth, never for an
instant still, till it became serious question with
me whether they ever ceased that monotonous
march. But it was solved at latar hour when
they were fed, and rested from their march and
took their rations in quiet.
From the Crawford House, l went down
through the notch, which is wild enough to salts
fy the most expectant tourist, to the Wiley
House, the scene of that awful, midnight tragedy
in which pershed that unfortunate family. The
house and surroundings are shown by woman
whose loyalty is more to be praised than her dis
cretion or her silence.
After adding a stone to the pile, which marks
their graves, we retraced our way to the Crawford

The Surrender Of Vicksburg,

The CAUSES OF THE SURRENDER OF THE
GARRISON AND PEoPLE-HoRRoRs OF THE
BoMBARDMENT.
We extract the following passages from the
Vlcksburg correspondence of the New York WorLd
of Wednesday. The letter is dated on July 4 :
The prime cause of the rebel defeat lies with
the War Department in Richmond, ia draining
the South to sustain the Virginia army. The sec
ond cause was mistake in venturing beyond the
Big Black river to give battle. This was Penn
berton's bunder. The next fault is chargeabe to
Johnston. AS a military man he should have
known the utmost limit Of resistance which the
garrison could reach, and should have relieved it
without fail Had he attempted it he would GER
tanly have failed, and thus it proves that what
Gen. Grant remarked after the battle of Champion
Hills was true. Vicksburg was virtually won then
and the great battle decisive of the fate of the
Mississippi valley was then delivered and won by
our Western troops.
The stock of provisions was getting short. Al
ready they were reduced to the offal and dregs of
their commissaries. Mule meat, while not eaten
as necessity, had become preferable to their
picked beef Pork was all gone, -four used up,
corn, unground for the most part, was left in linn
tied supply. But the worst difficulty was that OF
ammunition. Only ten percussion caps to the
man were found IN their pouches. Originally
short, they had received forty-two thousand thro
the lines since the investment Of cartridges they
had very few.
Their medicines were scanty. Nearly six thous-
and men in hospital and continually exposed to
the dangers Of plungng shells delicate women
and tender children crying for bread and waing
for the loss of friends around them. 1t must have
been strong heart that could have held out lon
ger.
One cause for determining the time was un-
doubtedy the apprehension that on the Fourth
Gen. Grant would attack. The result would be
the sack and pilage of the city and great slaugh-
ter. The captulation avoided oil without loss of
| honor.
! OF public property there is little of any value
beyond the cannon and ammunition. Thirty
siege guns, hundred and two field pieces and
! fifty thousand stand of arms aud equipments are
among the captures. Eighty stand of colors,
most of which, we regret to say, have been seized
and torn to shreds as trophies by the excited
troops. Of ammunition there is about hundred
rounds for each heavy gun, and twelve for light
field pieces OF cartridges there is limited guam.

Yet was it right For what cared,

Come, Susie, wait Just let me try -
And then my arm stole round her waist.
Her tiny hand played with my hair,
While her neck scanned with delight,
Seeing the color everywhere
Pure yellow shifting o'er the white
But yet could not quite decide
While eft she asked me-" yes, or no !''

And, by some willows, was a pool,
Where whirling eddies pastime took.
There would we swim when school was out -
Though three feet deep, we had no fears.
And dressed, on one foot jump about
To drive the bubbles from our ears!
Boys now are playing where played;
But buttercups grow not 50 high
And trees do not give half the shade,

Days when there was no shadow cast
About my path, when but boy.
