BEHIND vlCKSBURG.

While Grant was moving on Vicasburg,
cutting canals, gathering supplies and watcll-
ing the enemy's movements, the country and
the government had grown inpatient. H.s
slowness was criticised; o.d runlo:s about his
personal character took wings, his soldiers
were said TO lie rapidly dying, and his re
moval was urged. But Lincoln said: 81
rather like the man; think Wen try him q
little longer" This speech saved Grant anil
the country.
Jefferson Davis had named Vicksburg the
Gibraltar Of America. Nature as well as art
had made the Confederate fortidcations there
welLnigh hnpregnable. Grants Plan was
TO move his army below ViciIs5urg,
even cutting off his own coiamuni-
cations-hazarding everything in the GER

This battle Convinced Grant that the war

he thought. Ee believed, too, that il would
