THE FALL OF NICKSBURG-WHY GENERAL
PENBERroS SURRENDERED on TIRE FOURTH
OF JULY-we find the following in the Rich
rnord Examiner: So far from Vicksburg having
been surrendered on account Of scarcity OF sup
plies il now appears officially that Pemberton
had at the time OF the surrender about forty
thousand pounds OF pork and bacon, which had
been reserved for the subsistence of his troops in
the event OF his attempting 70 cut his way out of
the city, Also, 81. al pounds ofrice, 5000 bushels
OF peas, 1928 pounds of sugar, 3,3io pounds of
soap $50 pounds of tailow candles, twen.y.seven
pounds of star candles and 42S OOO pounds of salt
Ifcuriosity insists upon knowing the real cause of
the surrender of Vicksburg it must satisfy itself
as well as il can with the words of Pemberton'S
own official report. He says: knowing the
anxious desire of the Government TO relieve
Yicksburg, felt assured that if within the com.
pass OF its power, the Si:ge would be raised; but
when forty-seven days and nights had passed.
with the knowledge then possessed, that no ade-
quate relief was 10 be expected felt that ought
no longer 10 place in jeopardy the brave men
whose lives had been intrusted TO my care So
there appears 10 have been nothing but general
occasion for the surrender of Vicksburg: that is,
rs Pemberton expressed il in his note to Grant, l
" desire TO save the further etfusion of blood"
But the most astounding disclosure of the dOcu-
ments referred to in Pembertons explanation Of
his selection of the Fourth of July for the day of
surrender The explanation is this: That he is
willing 10 crafty the vanity of the enemy by his
dramatic humiliation OF the Confederacy, in order
to obtain better terms for himself and garrison. A
confession so extraordinary needs comment.
Here ii is in Pembertons own words: III it should
be asked why the Fourth of July was selected as
the day for the surrender. the answer is obvious
| believed that upon that day / should obtain
better terms Well aware of the vanity Of our
foes, knew they would attach vast importance
to entrance on the Fourth of July into the strong
hold of the great river and that, TO crafty their
National vanity, they would yield then what could
not be extorted from them at any other time"

Taxing the Mines.

The following memorial is being circulated
for signatures in Colorado Territory:
To the Honorable the Senate and House of Rep.
resentatives of the United States in Congress
assembled: Your memorialists, citizens of the
United States, and citizens of - and vicinity,
in the Territory of Colorado, beg most respect
fully to represent that:
Whereas, an Act entitled IAN Act in relation to
mines and minerals in the public domain" and ia
miliarly referred to in the public press rs the
"Seigrorage Act" was introduced in Congress
on the 18th Of March, the provisions Of which are
to fix royalty, tax license for permission TO
search for precious minerals in the public domain,
to tax the proceeds for the same, to restrict the
number Of claims held by each individual, and
generally to retard the development and cripple
the progress of the newly.found gold and silver
mining regions of the great West.
Therefore, we most earnestly and unequivOcally
enter protest against the passage Of the said
Act, believing that its enactment will prove blight
ing and ruinous TO the best prospects of the Yves
tern States and Territories, and knowing that it
will cause the abandonment Of Colorado by o
very large majority of its population. And your
memorialists would most respectfully petition
that law be enacted by your honorable body
providing for the sale of the min eral lands of the
United States upon the following plan: The TAX
ing and recording of mining claims to be substan-
tally the same US at present under the Territorial
and local district miners laws of this Territory
but upon such record being made, the claimant
shall be required to pay in addition to the regu-
lar fee therefor the sum of - for each claim as
the price therefor to the General Government;
which sum the County Recorder shall pay over
under such rules and instructions as shall be en-
acted by Congress, or established by the Commits.
sioner ofthd General Land Office; and in consi.
Iteration FOR which the General Government shall
give and grant title in fee simple to the said
claimant for the mine 80 claimed. Your memo
riaists would further represent that in their be-
half the gold and silver mines of the United States
should be- free and exempt from taxation thereby
to encourage their more rapid development; but
ii in the wisdom of your honorable body they
cannot be 80 exempted, then we ask that they be
not more heavily taxed than proceeds of other
industrial pursuits.
And for these measures and their early adop.
ton, your memorialis.s, the undersigned, will
ever Draw

THE German and Danish flags. which for the
last two or three years have reaped liberal share
of the advantages which the rebellion in this
Try has conferred upon the merchant vessels of
other nations, are now laboring under some of
the disadv antages to which the American flag has

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.-Within a short
time after our paper goes to press, and be-
FIRE il is fully distributed to our subscribers
in the ueighborhood, an eclipse Of the sun
will have commenced. The eclipse will
only be visible in its total stage, in a few
islands in the East Indies and on the Pacific
Ocean. In the States east Of the Mississippi
il will not be visible at all. In western Mis-
souri, and Iowa the eclipse will just touch
the sun at sunset. At San Francisco it will
at the time of greatest observation cover
about three-fourths of the suns disc at that
place, at o'clock and 80 minutes the
observation commences it will be the great
est at o'clock and Y minutes, and will end
at o'clock and 50 minutes, or very little
while before sunset, making hours and q
seconds time of the whole period of eclipse.
Here the observation will be slightly less
and commence rather later. The best tele-
scope to view it through is j piece Of smoked
glass. Wear white kid gloves, and rest the
smoky side of the glass against the tip of
of your nose-and you are bound to see the
eclipse.
