EDITOR NEWS Only few days ago I
promised to write you about the graves of
great men. Some of these 1 have but re-
Gently visited, but I first want to write
about the graves of 16, GIG great men whose
bones rest in the beautiful National Gene
terry at Yicksburg, Miss, and which I had
the privilege of visiting quite frequently
little less than a year ago. The seige of
Nicksburg which as an exhibition Of valor
and determination on the part of each of
the two oontendiug armies, is scarcely sur
passed in all the worlds annals of carnage
aud suffering, terminated q little over
twenty years ago in the downfall Of the
Confederate forces under Gen. Pemberton
and the triumphant entrance of Gen. Grant
with the old flag and his heroic army into
the "Gibralter of the -Vicksburg-
"THE hill CITY OF THE SOUTH"
But thevictory cost the lives of over15, 600
Of Grants noble boys, aud of many Con.
federates. Standing but few short
months ago upon an eminence in the Nat
ional Cemetery and gazing through the
magnolia and cedar boughs at the CLASSY
! lake by the side of which the cemetery is
laid out it would be difficult to realize that
only twenty years ago the lakes bosom was
broken by the prows Of hostile gunboats
and that every hill and knoll, of which
many abound, were covered with batteries
and strewn with ghastly corpses, were it moi
for the long lines of little white headstoner
each of which marks the last resting plac,
Of one of Uncle Sans boys.
From Vicksburg's limits the Nationa
Cemetery is about a mile and half distan
and is reached by a spacious drive knowr
to Vicksburgers as "the shell road" Thir
was constructed by the Government a few
tyears ago, and was made by cutting away
the cliffs and rocky bluffs along the shorel
Of Centennial Lake, around which it windl
in picturesque beauty. On one side liel
the silvery surface of the lake-little les
than loop Of the great Mississippi-nnt
on the other side the abrupt stone walls O
the cliffs, o'er-capped with shrubbery ant
o'er-olambered with vines. On leaving
Vicksburg you cross "GIass' Bayou" o
which you read in connection with tn
history Of the seige, and just before yor
reach the cemetery gate q little bridge take
you over another picturesque little bayo
just where it flows into the lake. But be

The shaft also bore O ooat-of-arms, flags
and cannon in bas-relief, which the vondal-
ism of relic hunters had almost obliterated,
previous to its removal from the scene Of
the interview to it's present position.
This spot is hard to leave The visitor
looks over the abrupt hills and over the
tree tops in the valley Of the little bayou
and over the lake and far off on the bosom
of the great Father Of Waters and sees the
great steamers floating Joy, and he is in
cIined TO linger long and gaze and gaze
again. The river breezes are refreshing to
the brow heated by the ascent and such a
fine panorama is not often spread before
mortal eyes. Other points to visit are a
pretty little fountain; the viue-clad taber-
nacle where memorial services are held;
the conservatory full of beautiful flowers
and plants; the Superintendanrs residence;
and the Office, where the records Hre kept
and where visitors may register. Through
the courtesy Of the Superintendent, Col. j.
S. Haver6eld, Buckeye soldier who used
to reside at Cadiz, o., frequently perused
the records and looked over the names in
scriDed. Many names with the companies
and regiments to which they belonged are
recorded, while many others bear the sim

There are some easy.going souls who

prolane things to sacred, it is possible to
lead good life without attending church
or asHocisting with other persons who are
travelling in tho same road. But there il
something in association-in the "pooling
OF issues. I'm union is strength. There
is hcalthtul contagion in tho. contact Of
shoulder with shoulder, and elbow with
elbow. There is something in travelling a

Reudrsck's Letter.

The New York Herald is disposed to
look upon Mr.. Hendricks last letter,
opposing the withdra wal of Cleveland,
as hoax, and denounces it as worse
than a scandal-in fact, it does. not be-
lieve Mr.. Hendricks ever saw it. 1t
says further that eff the missive is
genuine and intended for publication, it
is the worst blunder of the year, and
shows that candidates for high Office
may be guilty of worse things than
those that lead to scandal" The Her
aid has all along steadily ignored the
unpopularity its candidate, and never
intimated that thought of his with
drawal was ever entertained, as this
would be proof of his unpopularity. On
the other hand it has steadily deceived
the people who believed it by publish
ing manufactured evidence of untold
numbers of Republicans who were
going to vote for Cleveland, and these
same lying letters it has received with
such evidence, never knew or heard of a
boiling Democrat, We are not surpris-
ed that the Herald criticises the action
of Mr.. Hendricks. because it is the
strongest evidence of the wide spread
opposition to Cleveland. That opposi.
tion naturally had to be very strong
before "A man like Mr.. Hendricks would
pay any attention to it, and of course
nothing more or less could be expected
of him than that he should oppose the
very thought of Withdrawing Cleve-
land
Contrary IN tho Herald tho laffar
shows thai there is a strong sentiment
in favor Of the withdrawal of Cleveland
and the substitution Of another man
with whom defeat would be more cred
table. However, it is not likely that
any change will be- made The blunder

blunder, will have ~ remain a blunder
