The six hosemen dressed in full tar

This caused Gen. Grant to retreat at
once. Failing to join Gen. Sherman,
enabled Gen. S. d. Lee to defeat him
at Chickasaw Bayou, a few miles
North of Vicksburg the latter part of
December
The war in the South was set back
for many months which paralyzed the
entire program of the L. S Govern
ment and not only saved Vicksburg,
but the entire state. Over one hum
dred thousand men were defeated by
Van Dorn's brilliant raid. Can an
clent or modern history produce any
thing to equal this and had he been
a Virginian or from Tennessee, how
many gifted pens would have sung
his praises? Well do | remember the
JOY it gave us of the Vicksburg army
when the glad tidings were made
known that Grant was i'll full retreat
and we had only Sherman to attend
to. He fell by the hand of an assas-
sin for an offense. that had it been

The man who killed him was after

him but a telegraph from President

Richmond, and from there he was
sent North.

VAN DORN'S RAID

The following thrilling sketch from
the pen of Mr.. ]. w. Smith will, no
doubt, be read with interest by a
great number OF our readers. Mr..
| Smith was a gallant follower of Van
Dorm in the Civil War, and as many
articles are now going the rounds OF
! the newspapers about the brave deeds
! OF Forrest Stewart, etc, he thought
it was only right that Van Dorm $
achievements should be given laudible
mention We fully concur with Mr.
Smith and gladly give his article
space in The Times. In this connec-
ton we would add that the columns
of this paper are open to any article
OF like nature that our brave soldiers
and veterans would like to contribute.
