the fortifications at Richmond and
Petersburg
At Wick sburg on the other hand,
there was real seige. The Fed
erals attacked the place on the
river side with their naval forces,
while on the land they completely
infested or surrounded the fateful
city on the blutfs. Nicksburg was
of inestimable value to the Con
tederates because it commanded
the crossing of the Mississippi
river and maintained communica-
tion between the two sections of
the South that were separated by
the great cor tinental river AS
long AS the Confederates held
Vicksburg and Port Hudson lower
down in Louisiana, the section of
the river between the two places
was under Confederate control.
and the crossing of troops and sup
plies was assured. Even when
Port Hudson WAS lost tho value of
Nicksburg WAS still great.
Of course il was necessary to
hold Nicksburg at all costs, but it
WAS fully understood that this
could not be done unless there
should be relief from the outside.
General Joseph +. Johnson was
sent with a force to make suc.' a
move and assist in opening com
munication with the beleaguerd
city. but General Johnson's noto-
rious lack of enterprise made him
the wrong man for such service,
and the consequence WAS that he
remained entirely inactive until
the fall of the city was accomplish
ed by overwhelming forces on the
outside and starvation within.
Evidently General Kuorpatkin
has too small force to spare a
sufficient numb Der for the relief Of
Port Arthur, and there ia. As lar
rs can be seen, no reasonable pros
pect for the succor of the place.
Under all the circumstances it
would have been best TO have
abandoned Port Arthur AS soon as
the failure of the Russian navy
Was made manifest, and to have
saved the troops now shut mp there
for more important use. The cap
ture of the Port will be great
triumph for the japanese, who will
secure it's stores and ships and
make prisoners of the garrison.
while the Russians will suffer loss
and humiliation for which no rec
ompense will come to them.-New

Its shame that the leading
daily papers that circulate in Mis-
sissIppi are represented At Jack
son by u little coterie OF cores
pondents who can not be- depend
ed ON half the time TO send out re-
Liable news. They draw on their
ina ,ination when they are short
of matter, or If they desire TO ere
ate certain impression, they have
no regard whatever for truth or
facts, but give utterance If they
see tit TO statements that have no
foundation at all. Of course q
good many know what amount of
credence to place in their asser-
lions, but a great many do not,
and il ia to be regretted that these
harmful reports and misrepresen-
taIions are circulated. Efforts
have been made of late TO start
the impression that the negroes
are leaving the State. notwith-
standing that these rumOrs are
being denied on all sides and from
the very sections where it is al
legged that negroes are emigrsting.
The fact of the business is, mum
bers Of the negroes are being
brought into the State. Only a
few days ago gang was import
ed into this section from Alabama
TO work on the new railroad, and
the scarcity of labor is not caused
by an exodus of negroes. but by
an increase of industries. No. the

Port Arthur, Richmond and
NiCkSburg.

A report comes from Paris that
Port Arthur has been captured by
the japanese.
While there is no confirmation
of the report, the fall of that place,
# it he not relieved by an attack
ON the Japanese by a large force
of Russians from the outside, is
sure to happen at no distant day.
Port Arthur, no matter how
strongly fortified, has been COM
pletely separated from all connec-
ton with the main Russian army,
and is of no use to the Russians
whatever. If the Russians had
been able to cope successfully with
the Japanese navy and to keep the
sea with an effective fleet, Port Ar
thur would be of extreme value as
port of supply for the war ships,
but the complete defeat of the
Russian naval forces and the help
lessness of the few vessels that re-
main to them, make it impossible
for them to wage successful de-
fense against the combined land
and naval attacks Of the japanese,
and they are engaged in gallant
but hopeless task, for they are
now entirely surrounded by enc
mics
In the American Civil War, what
WAS called the seige of Richmond.
Was not really seige. Richmond
never Was surrounded by troops.
On the contrary, there never was
Z day in the entire time (about a
year.. during which the supposed
seige continued. when the Con-
federate capital was cut off from
connection with the interior OF
the Confederacy. Trains came
and went daily on three railroads,
and when Richmond was shan-
doned finally by the Confederates

were sent out by rail
Richmond WAS held until. by
the dwinGling of General Lees

ment of Grants, Lee was unable
to maintain his extended lines and
he retreated with his small force.
A year earlier no such conditions
could have occurred, because Lee
would have been able, as he actu-
ally was in the spring of 1864, to
take the field and to fight Grant
on open ground. 1t was only when
his forces had been reduced by

SPECIAL TRAIN TO ST. LOUIS.
Mr.. Jno. f.. Rays Personally Con-
Quoted Worlds Fair Trip.

A special train will be made up in
Raleigh on the morning of July 18th
TO carry a large party of North Caro-
linians to the Worlds Fair at St Louis.
It was at first expected that one special
Pullman car would be sufficient to take
care of those who will comprise the
personally conducted tour. of which
movement Mr.. Jno. f. Ray, of this
city, is at the head. The number who
have already made arrangements to
Join the party is already so large that
additional Pullman cars are required
and it is the intention of Mr.. Ray to
have enough Pullman accommodations
to make the trip the pleasantest that
could possibly be arranged.
Mr.. Ray is president of the Ameri-
can Association of Instructors of the
Blind. The association meets in an
nual convention at st. Louis on Wed
nesday, June goth. The special train
leaving Raleigh on the 18th will carry
a large number of teachers from the
various schools and colleges in the
State, and others, who will aid in MAX
ing up a congenial party.
The route selected is the most de-
sirable The special train will make
few stops between Raleigh and Rich
mond At Richmond it will leave the
Seaboard Air Line tracks for the Ches-
apeake & Ohio, which is known as the
Worlds Fair Scenic Route. The seen
cry from Richmond to Cincinnati is
the most beautiful found along any
through line. Mile after mile is
crowded with historic interest The
scenic granduer along New River
gorge, through the widest mountain
sections of Virginia, and then along
the Kanawha, through mountain gaps
until the Ohio is reached. The attrac-
tons are unparalleled. Mr.. Ray is re
ceiving letters from all sections from
ladies who are going with the party
Special arrangements are being made
to provide the best hotel accommoda-
tons for the least money. Mr. c. II.
Gattis. of the Seaboard, and Mr.. W.
@. Warthen and Captain j. G. Dame,
of the c. & o., at Richmond, are aid
ing Mr. Ray in preparing to take the
best care of his party.
