STARVATION.

The straits to which the Confederates were
reduced for food before tho surrender seem
startling even to this day in America, where
none need go hungry. To husband the sup
ply OF food within the walls, after Vicksburg
had been invested by land and water, Penn
berton ordered all horses and mules, except
three teams TO d regiment and the mules
necessary for food, sent outside the lines.
Those that were left lived on cane tops and
mulberry leaves, and at last OF mulberry
leaves alone.
The soldiers subsisted or corn meal and pea
neal, and very little of that At last tho
Pea meal became SO distastaful to them that
they could eat it no lengec. It proved IN
wholesome besides. Then they were allowed
to boil the peas and eat them thus.
Every day q number Of mules were killed !;
the meat was cut into s1rirs and Issued to the
men This was their only fresh meat

telling him his army was ripe for mutiny

these remarkable words:
''Our rations have been cut down to ore
biscuit and small bit Of bacon per day,

gether, much less to stand the hardships we

The assault was q tremendous one, but un-

Fort Eli had been.
''Hickealooper was happy that night, and

thirty days and nights he had worked in the
trenches. With tireisss energy and sleepless
vigilance ne had labored. In sunshine and
pelcing rain, r,orninS and evening, ct ell

GEN. HICKENbooPER fort into the air.
| The Union force was over half mile away
from the fort, down in the bottom Fort
/ Hill commanded every foot of ground for
miles around. Nevertheless Gen. Hicken-
looper made his plan. 1t was predicted that
he would fail HE never can do it in the
world said the Jobs cornforters to o.Io I1l
other. But Gen. Hickenlooper knew him
self. Mcpherson knew him, too, and gave
him free card TO do as he liked
A little after the middle Of May, one black,
silent light, his sappers and miners began
digging in the earth at the Union camp.
Shovel, pick and basket took the place of
nIUsket and cartridge box. As soon as the
mine was sufficiently advanced the men dug
in the daytime, and day and night the work
progressed. Relays Of men relieved one an
other by day light and torchlight until
thirty days and nights had been told of that
battle summer of 1868. To dig through 1 coo
yards of earth is no child's play.
Calculating with his engineers eye and
brain the exact center OF the foundation of
Fort Hill, Gen. Hickenlooper directed his
passageway thibher, far underground Three
galleries led in different directions from the
main mine. Safety fuses were laid through
ell, SO that if one failed another would catch
flame.
So far. Then came the most difficult part
Of the work. 1t was easy enough to dig; but
the earth must be put back again, solid as
before 1t must be ramn,ed tight. 1t must
be confined III its place by heavy timbe,s.
Why2 Because if the passageway were left
open or loosely filed the exploding powder
would simply blow out through the mine and
not injure Fort Hill st all. It's force must
be turned upward
The mine WIS finished, the passage was
closed solid as human strength could make
it. Only the deadly fuse ran like a FIRE snake
along the bottom of that hidden way.
Twenty two hundred pounds of powder were
within the mine.
No hint Of the work had reached the Con-
federates above at Fort Hill. Mcpherson had
advanced his works SO near that their can
non were useless and disabled, and they
could do 10 more than TO pick of unwary
Federal soldiers by sharp shooting
June IS was the day fixed for blowing IT'D
Fort ELL 1t was SO important an undertake
ing that the word of it was passed all along
the Union lines. at l. o'clock firing ceased,
and from right and left long lines Of blue
coats poured into McPherson's encanpmeut.
The order was THAI as soon as tho explosion
took place, in the Generalization that fol-
lowed among the Confederates, Union sol
diers should rush in in great number, and o
general assault be made.
For days and weeks bombardment had
been going on Now suddenly all ceased.
the unearthly stiffness was horrible and OPP
pressive. The ear had grown used to the
sound OF shot and shell so that it was not dis.
turbing. But the silence-that seemed to
appan like the shadow OF falling doom.
Three o'clock WAS the hour for the explo
sion. A brief minute or two, Or perhaps 10
was three minutes before that time, the fuse
had been lighted Would it burnt Would
it do its worki Fifty thousand men were
eSllinr the question.

THE OAK TREE AT VICxSBURG.

There was q historic apple tree at Apo
mattox, where Lee surrendered TO Grant. At
Vicksburg there was historic oak tree
Under this tree Grant and Pernberton held
the parley that resulted in the surrender oe
Vicllsburg.
July 3, 1868, Pemberton sent note to
Grant regretdng the ''effusion Of blood, )" and
asking for the appointment on each side Of
three commissioners 10 arrange for the capt.
ulation Of Vicksburg Grant replied IN a
brief note, in which occurred these words,
since become historic:
"The efTusion Of blood you propose stopping
can be ended any time you choose by the I'M
conditional surrender Of the city and garri-
SON"
At 10 o'clock in the morning of July 8
white flags appeared above a portion Of the
Confederate works, and firing then ceased.
At 3 o'clock Of that day Grant and Pember-
ton met by agreement at spot in front OF
McPherson's headquarters on a hillside, e
few hundred feeo from the Confederate lines.
The tree near which they stood was stuntei
oak. Grant in Ais memoirs writes of this
