mp into detAchments, 80 that no regiment

would have burned some powder either in
fun or earnest TO honor the occasion. As
II was, the men In gray got on without
parting salute. At VicksburR, however,
on that same day, the skies there being
brighter, there was some characteristic
jOlliheation over tho surrender Of Pember-
toms Confederates, the evacuation Of the
city and the occupation by Grants troops.
General Pemberton began his negotiations
for terms on the Sd, but the parley did not
terminate until the wee small hours Of the

for the convenient hour Of 10 q. m. Gen

been a good deal Of friendly sparring be-
tween the soldiers Of the two armies on

After Johnny would call, We'll, Yank.

The garrison, from the commander down,
undoubtedly expected an assault on the
Fourth. They knew from the temper Of
their men It would be successful when
made, and that would be 4 greater hu-
initiation than to surrender. Besides, II
would be attended with severe loss to
them.
