vIcKsBURG, June :, 1873.
Editor oil the Herald:
DEAR SiR-In your issue of this
morning, under the heading OF "The
Siege Of V%icksburg," there are some
statements which ought not to 90 down
TO posterity or history. II is stated
that during those long weeks there
was no sound or summon OF bell to
prayer. There was no song Of praise"
The writer must have overlooked the
fact that during the whole siege there
was no interruption in The daily seryi.

wa rung the same as il there was no
question about siege. Mass was said
on Sunday and week days as in ordi.
nary times. A she'll burst In the
church while the people we're therein
collected for devotions. No lives were
lost, although much damage was done
10 the church ediice. The course of q
she'll through the roof of the sanctuary
was easily traceable a little over q year
ago when the church was undergoing
repairs. The altar was much disfg.
ured by the explosion of this same
shell under one Of its corners. Mr..
Donovan, as is well known to the com.
munity at large, lost an arm by 9 she'll
or cannon ball, while at the church
door, either going to or coming from
divine service. These are facts which
chow that neither bell was silent nor
divine service discontinued, at least in
the Catholic Church, during the siege

the tale of brutality comes from Joliet.
And the public will continue to he startled

that ends with death are taught to respect
the laws of commonhumanity and the prison

what they most need.

The managers of the Green back
party in Tennessee seem to have a tai
lent for geology. They have unearth-
ed another fossil, since Col. TilIman,
retired from the gubernatorial contest,
in the person of Col. r. NJ. Edwards,
of Cleveland. who announces his ac-
ceptance of the race, and has gone to
meet Gov. Marks. 1t took two days
to drive Col. Tillman from the field,
but as Col Edwards is rather a tough
old specimen he may hold out a day
or two longer. We look for his return
to Cleveland about the last of next
week with black eye, figurative of
course, and determination to indulge
in no more third-party nonsense
