BEHIND VcKSBURG.

While Grant was moving on Vicksburg
cutting canals, gathering supplies and watch
ing the enemy's movements, the country and
the government had grown impatient. His
slowness was criticised; old rumors about his
personal character took wings, his soldiers
were said to be rapidly dying, and his re-
moval was urged. But Lincoln said: 81
rather like the man; think well try him a
little longer" This speech saved Grant and
the country.
jefferson Davis had named Vicksburg the
Gibraltar of America. Nature as well as art
had made the Confederate Notifications there
well-nigh impregnable. Grants plan was
TO move his army below VicKsburg,
even cutting off his own communi-
cations-hazarding everything in the Ger
tain hope of victory. Defeat meant total
annihilation. On the night of April 16 three
steamers and ten barges, loaded with rations
and forage, were run past the batteries, con-
vowed by seven of Admiral Porter's IRON
clads. The steamers were manned by volun-
teer crews from the ranks. Porter led the
way or the Benton and Grant remained on
one of the transports, where he could watch
the operations, though shot and shell fell all
around him. To dispel the favoring dark
ness the CoHfederates fired the houses along
both sides of the shore until the Mississippi
was light as day. Every transport was
struck, the Henry Clay was burned to the
waters edge, and for two hours and forty
minutes the fleets were under fire But at
last all were out of range and darkness set
tied down on fleets and city.
Grants march through the wilderness
about VickSburg is historic, and his successes
therein were due to his conclusion that rules
Of strategy laid down in books should be vio
lated when common sense dictated. In 20
days be had marched more than 200 miles,
beaten two armies in five battles, captured q
heavy cannon and 81 pieces of field artillery,
taken over 5000 prisoners and killed and
wounded as many more. He had, says Ba-
deau, forced the evacuation of Grand Gulf,
seized the capital of the state, destroyed tie
railroads at Jackson for 80 miles and invested
the principal stronghold of the Confederates
on the Mississippi. 1t has been compared
with the campaign of Napoleon at Ulm and
to the first 10 days of Napoleon in Italy in
1876.

JEFF DAVIS is seriously i'll. and the
precedent in the case of Jake Thompson
would require the close of the War De-
partment, and the half-masting flag in
his honor if he should die.
There is not an excuse offered for the
proceedings in the case of Thompson
that does not apply with increased
strength to Davis.
Indeed, JEFF Davis. so far as his duties
as Secretary Of War were concerned, he
discharged them with ability, and there
were no lost trust funds or stolen secur-
tiles to account for.
1t would not he as scandalous an out
rage to close the War Department in
memory of Davis, as the Jack Thompson
incident, but the general judgment Of
the people might not be to that effect.
The Democratic party is in possession
of the General Government, and has es-
tablished precedents that would half
mast the flag of the nation over the War
Department on the death of Davis.
What Cleveland would do as to the
White House is an open question. AS
Davis was President of the Southern
Confederacy, he may, under Democratic
auspices, be entitled to special recogni-
tion at the Executive Mansion.-Cin.

WITHOUT SUPPLIES

On the 4th of November Grant seized La
Grange and Grand Junction On the 18th
his cavalry entered Holly Springs, and drove
the enemy south of the Tallahatchie On the
10th the enemy's cavalry dashed into Holly
Springs, 2S miles in Grants rear, and cap
tured the garrison, with all its stores. A Con-
federate raider cut the railroad to Columbus
at several points, severing Grants only line
of communication with the north and with
parts of his own command. Holly Springs
was captured while the troops were in their
beds, for which the commanding officer of the
post was dismissed the service. For over a
week Grant had no communication with the
north, and for two weeks no supplies. Then
was learned the secret of how an army may
live without supplies, useful afterwards to
Grant when in the rear of Vicksburg and to
Sherman in his marches through Georgia and
the Carolinas When the citizens, mostly
women, came to his headquarters to see how
be bore the loss of Holly Springs, and asked
him exultingly what he would do now that
his soldiers had nothing to eat, he calmly in
formed them that his soldiers would find
plenty in their barns and storehouses

The United States Supreme Court last
week, rendered decision of interest to
banks and bank stockholders. 1t was
rendered in the case of the First Na>
tional Bank of Xenia, O., plaintiff in
ereor, against Daniel M. Stewart and
Martha n. Mcmillan, administrators.
This was a suit brought against the
bank by the administrators of one Nc
MILAN on account of an alleged appro
preparation and sale by the bank of GER
tain shares its own stock which be-
longed to Mcmillan, but which were in
banks custody. The bank justified its ac>
tion upon the ground that Mcmillan
was its debtor to an amount of greater
value than the stock, and that the stock
was put in its hands as collateral secu-
rity for the Indebtedness. The Court
decided that the law gave the creditor
no such right.

THE OLD SONG.

The minstrel of the classic lay
Of love and wine who sings,
Still found the fingers run aStray
That touched the rebel strings.
OF Cadmus he would fain have sung,
OF Arteus and his line;
But all the jocund echoes rung
With songs of love and wine.
All, brothersl l would fain have caught
Some fresher fancy's CLEAN;
Nv truant accents find, unsought,
The old, familiar theme.
Love Lovel but not the sportive child
With shaft aud twanging bow,
Whose random arrows drove US wild
Some threescore years ago;
Not Eros, with his joyous laugh,
The urchin blind and bare.
But Love, with spectacles and staff,
And scanty. silvered hair.
Our heads with frosted locks are white,
Our roofs are thatched with snow,
But red, in chilling winters spite,
Our hearts and hearthstones glow.
Our old acquaintance, Time, drops IN,
And " bile the running sands
Their golden thread uDheeded spin,
He warns his frozen hands.
Stay, winged hours. too swift, too sweet,
And watt this message Ger
To all we miss, from all we meet
On life's fast crumbling shore;
Say that to old affection true
We hug the narrowing chain
That binds oer hearts alas, how few
The links that yet reDainl
The fatal touch awaits them all
That turns the rocks to dust;
From year to year they break the fall,
They break, but never rust.
Say if one note of happier strain
This worn out harp afford,
One throb that trembles, not in vain,
Their memory lent its chord.
Say that when Fancy closed her wings
And Passion quenched his fire,
Love, Love, still echoed from the strings
AS from AnacreOn'S lyTel
Oliver Wendell Holmes.

GRANT AT v1cxsRnRa

Grant began the storming of Vicksburg on
the 18th of May, gaining some ground, and
on the 22d general assault began All day
long columns of men moved against the en-
emy's stronghold, only to be met by stag
gering fire, under which they recoiled to the
shelter of the hillsides, which were thick with
the dead and dying. The Confederates, be-
hind their parapets, suffered little in compar-
ison. This assault is said to have been un-
paralleled in the history of modern times.
Three thousand Federal soldiers were killed.
The assault on Vicksburg having failed Grant
determined on a siege. Then begun those
long days of bombardment, when the hemmed

LEES SWORD.
Jubal Early Breaks Loose on Grants
Refusal to Receive 1t.


Refusal to Receive 1t.
RICHMOND, Va. March S1.-The recent
action of Lee Camp, Confederate Veter>
ans, of this city, in adopting resolutions
of sympathy with General Grant, in
which they spoke eof his magnanimous
treatment of Lee at Appomattox in de-
clining his sword, brings General Jubal
Early out in a card, in which he says:
"The fact is that General Lees sword
was never rendered to General Grant,
and the latter, therefore, had no oppor :
tunity to decline to receive it or return
it after it had been surrendered, but by
the express terms of the capitulation all
the officers of General Lees army were
allowed to retain their sidearms, as well
as their horses and other private proper
ty, and all 'couriers and mounted men of
the artillery and cavalry whose horses
were their private property were to be
allowed to retain them.
LIE STILL DEFIANT.
"Ir DR.. Jones" Personal Reminiscen
ces of General r. E. Lee will be found
the correspondence between General
Grant and General Lee Immediately pre-
ceeding the surrender of his army. That
correspondence fully refutes the idea
that General Lee ever contemplated
making an unconditional surrender OF
his army, or that he was indebted to the
magnanimity of General Grant for the
terms uf his surrender. DR.. Jones says
that in a conversation with number of
friends, of whom he was one, General
Lee said that before going to meet Cen
eral Grant he left orders with Longstreet
and Gordon to hold their commands in
readiness, as he was determined to cut
his way through or perish in the attempt
if such terms were not granted as he
thought his army entitled to demand.
"In the last and only interview had
with General Lee after the war, which
was in the spring 1869. when he talked
very freely to me in regard to the cirI
cumstances attending his surrender, he
reiterated in the most emphatic manner
the statement which DR.. Jones gives
1t was not, therefore, to Grants mag+
nanimity that General Lee was indebted
for the privilege of retaining his sword
or for the terms granted to his army,
but to his own resolve will and the anx
iety of Grant to obtain the surrender of
an adversary who had thwarted him so
long. There is, then, as little truth in
this story about General Lees sword as
there is in the famous apple-tree fiction.
1t would seem that the time for Grant
to display Ills magnanimity toward the
defeated CoDfederates was when he oc-
cupied the Presidency of the United
States for eight years. How he then dis
played it let impartial history tell"
