Thru the kindness of l.. J. Moss

are able to publish items taken from
a newspaper printed in the city of
Vicksburg on the second day of July
1863. We have the paper and are
taking the articles directly from it
II was printed on wall paper.
1t will be remembered by the old
soldiers and others who have kept up
with our history that Generals Grant
and Sherman were on that day ham
mering away at Vicksburg which
surrendered two days later. 1t will
he remembered that on that day Gen
erals Lee and Meade were fighting on
the battle field of Gettysburg the
greatest battle of modern times up to
the time of the world war and that
on the third day of July the confed-
crates made one of the most famous
charges of all history against the un,
ion forces and met with utter defeat
1t was on that second day of July
1863, that J. Nj. Swords as proprietor

GOOD NEWS

In devoting a large portion of our
space this morning to Federal intel
igence, copied from Memphis Bulle-
tin of the 25th., it should be remem-
bered that the news in the original
truth is whitewashed by the FEEDER
al Provost Marshall. who desires to
hoodwink the poor Northern white
5laves. The former editors of the
Bulletin being rather pro-southern
men, were arrested for speaking the
truth when the truth was welcome to
Gankeedom, and placed in the chain
gang working at Warrenton, where
they now are. This paper at present
is in duress and edited by a pink nos
ed, slab-sided, toad-eating Yankee
who is a lineal descendent of Judas
lscariot and a brother german of
the greatest Puritanic, sycophantc
bowling scoundrel unhung-Brown-
low. Yet with such character this
paper cannot cloak the fact that Gen
Robert +. Lee has given Hooker. Mil
roy & Co., one of the best and sound
est whippings on record and that the
"galorioas Union is now weak in the
knees.
