A few days ago the editor of the I

Vicksburg, Miss, remaining for some
time on the historic spot, now marked |
by a cannon, where Generals Grant
and Pemberton met under flag oil
truce on the Sd day of July, 1863, tol
arrange the terms upon which the be-
sieged Confederate army of 31,600 men
surrendered the following day. It'll
was Sabbath afternoon. With the ex-
ception of the grim cannon standing on
the hillside, a more quiet and peace-I
full scene could not be imagined. Some

tuated by curiosity and desire of gainI

mementoes in the shape of bullets and |
fragments of shells that had been pick
ed up by them on the battlefield. OnI
this spot, so calm and peaceful now,
men were striving, fighting, dying byl
the thousands thirty-six years ago.
For what? That we, their children
and our children, and other genera
tions yet unborn, might enjoy the bless
sings of liberty and peace in an inde-l
soluble union Of free and independent
States. As we stood there, with rever-
emily bowed head, what train oil
thought was started, and what con-
trast was drawn between conditionsl
today and those which existed one
third of a century ago. Then brother
was. arrayed in deadly conflict against
brother, and the nation was strug-I
Cling for its very existence. Then theI
fearful blight on human slavery had SO
blinded the eyes and sensibilities of
millions of good men and women. that
they, could not at that time see and
realize that those things for which,
they were fighting and making such
heroic and desperate sacrifices OF lifel
and property, were contrary to their
own material best interests, as well as
moral welfare. God reigns and rules.
Vicksburg fell, and this was the be-
ginning Of the end. At last came APP
pomattox, and the nation was preser-
ved Today we see one people, oneI
flag. an united nation. Nowhere in |
the country will more sincere and
outspoken patriotism be found than
in the south in the year 1900. The cor
diality of the people is sincere and nn-
bounded. Everywhere immigration isl
welcomed. The opportunities for pro-
fitable investment of capital are many,
andit can be truly said that the most
ample protection is given under the
laws, aud by public sentiment, to life
and property. truly the war is over.

The war e over.

We gazed with almost trembling
awe upon the steep heights which
were SO bravely stormed by the fed
seral troops on the ed day OF May,
1863. That the assault failed, none
can wonder; the only surprising thing
is that anyone lived thru the hell of
murderous shot and shell to tell the
tale, and yet we are now told by
those who We're defending those
works that for few moments on that
fateful day victory was within the
grasp of General Grant. The Union
troops We're at one point inside the
confederate works, and could have
held them and pushed the victory
along the entire line had the situa-
ton been fully understood.
Returning to the hotel on this peace
full Sabbath day, thirty-six years la
ter, the fact that the war is over was
brought still more fully to our realiza-
ton by an address of welcome tender
ed the visiting editors by General
Stephen ID. Lee. General Lee was one
of the brave men who fought in the
confederate army at Vicksburg. He
was a worthy foe, who is today as
courageous as he was then. He it is
who bears the distinction of being the
only Confederate commander that de-
feated the great Sherman. When the
first movement was made on Nicks-
burg, Sherman lead it, confidently ex-
pecting cooperation from Grants ar
my, which was Supposed to be proceed
ing southwark thru Mississippi along
what is now the Illinois Central rail-
way. The Confederate cavalry cut the
railway behind Grant, and he had to
fall back towards Memphis. Hence it
was that Sherman's division unaided
Stephen d. Lee, at Haines' Bluff, and
was compelled to retire. This griz-
zled veteran of the war, who fought
so valiantly for the lost cause, welcom-
ed the editors, declared that the war
was not only over, but that he could
truthfully say, that he was Profound
~ glad that it had resulted as it did.
The institution of slavery had been the
primary cause of all the trouble, and
he believed that had this question not
been settled by the war, the aroused
and enlightened conscience of the peo-
pie of the south would have demanded
it's adjustment before this. The south
was infinitely better off without sla-
very than with it, and today is enter
ing upon an era of Industrial and COM
mercial development which in a few
years will make it one OF the most
prosperous spots on the face of the
globe. The south stands today with
open arms to welcome intelligence,
capital and enterprise.
