JACKSON, July s.-A number Of the Vicks-
burg heros arrived here to-day. have con-
versed with number of them, privates as well
as officers. The privates praise General Penn
berton in the highest terms. They say they
went into Vicksburg prejudiccd against him,
but no man coul6 have done more than he did.
One man shed tears when he told me of what
they had suffered, with no relief, and then for
|Vicksburg to fall. The Yankees were led to
believe that they took Vicksburg the war
was ended, and they could all go home, and
they would remark to our troops, "well, boys
we can all go home row." An officer who ar
rived from Vicksburg says that the garrison
had been living on pea bread and mule meat
for two weeks lie says that if it had been
known that relief was coming it would have
held out longer. 1t is stated that all the off
GERS of Pemberton urged him to surrender.
