The YAEKEEs.-Why do not the Yankees
commence the demonstration which they came
to make, and take the tbrsshing which IS dus
thez, and 60 home7 They ought 70 know thas
we do not want them here, keeping Us IN sus-
penss. They hsVe fooled away too much Of cur
time alresdyi for it is nearly a yesE since they
first attempted to terrify Us, e. the beginning
Of which time they might have taken this city
of hundred hills with great ease and Sc very
little expense. They had gunboats and trans
ports and men, and all other conyenisness In
great abundance, while We had but lisils more
than nothing wheTewith to defend the place
against themi but they fooled away The precious
time, and now it Is too late.
We have been very busy while lbey have
been idle, and Vicksburg has been So ven in-
trenehed and fortified since they frst began 10
50 take it, that it Is quite impossible for then
to fulfil sheir desires OF threats OF vain boast
ings. We have the men and material for a siege
as long as the Yankees nay eho0se TO spin ono
cut, aud we defy them. We do not, however,
like to have them hanging sbout, keeping Us 10
suspense. Let them come forth snd DO sbair
worst, and that speedily.
