rent of two fhillings fterng hundred demandable
fome years hence only, it is highly prefumabe that
they will always be held upon defrable foot
ing than where both thefe laid with very
heavy hand. And it may not be amifs further to
obferve, that if the fcheme of establishing new
government the Ohio in the manner talked of,
should be affected, thefe murt be among the
most valuable lands in it, not only account of the
goodnefs of foil, and the other advantages above
enumerated but from their contguity to the feat Of
government which more than probable will be fixed
at the mouth of the Great Kanhawa.

A copy of the Daily Citizen" printed on wall
paper and published by ]. M. Swords, friend of the
Confederacy, at Vicksburg, Miss, under date of
July 2, 1862 shows of the hardships the bust
and ordinary citizen of the Southland were
undergoing during the Civil War period.
Another item of interest taken from the Citizen
indicates that mule meat isn't such bad food and
that the Confederate army could continue to exist
as long the mules lasted.
Another story indicates very clearly that the
profteer, away back yonder" wasn't slow to
take advantage of the less unfortunate citizen:

July 4th, 1868
1.-TWO days bring about great changes. The ban
of the Union floats over Vicksburg. Gen Grant
has Caught the rabbit" he has dined in Vicksburg
and he did bring his dinner with him. The "Citi-
zen" lives to it. For the last time it appears
wall paper" No will it euogize the luxury
of mule meat and fricassed kitten-urge Southern
warriors to such diet never-more. This is the last
wallpaper edition. and is excepting this note, from
the types found them. It will be valuable here
after as curiosity.
1--WE are indebted to Maj Gillespie for steak
of Confederate beef alias meat. We have tried it
and can assure friends that if it is rendered
necessary, they need have scruples at eating
mule meat, it is sweet, savory and tender, long
as have mule left, satisfied soldiers
will be content to subsist on it.
IF aught would appeal to the heart of stone of
the extortioner will success the present necessities
of our citizens would do so. 1t is needless to at
tempt to disguise from the enemy people
that wants great, but still conscien-
tiously assert belief that there is plenty within
our lines, by exercise of prudence, to last until
long after reaches We are satisfied
there are numerous persons within city who
have breadstuffs secreted and doling it out at
the most exorbitant figures to those who had the
foresight means at their command to provide for
the exigency now upon rumU. sas reached
that parties in city been and now sell
ing flour at five dollars per pound! molasses at ten
dollars per gaon and at ten dollars per bushel!
We have not yet the fact upon the parties
accused but this alusion to the subject may s'uce
some of our citizens to ascertain whether such prices
have been paid, and to whom and if so, let brand
not only be placed upon their brow but let It be
scared into their very BRAIN that humanity may
scorn and shun them as they would the portals of
hell itself.
We have heretofore refrained from aluding to
matter which has been source of extreme annoy
ance and loss to our citizens We refer to the lax
discipline Of some Of our company officers in allow
ing their men to prowl around, day and night, and
purloin fruit vegetables, chickens, ETC.. from our
denzens and in the majority Of cases, from those
whose chief subsistence is derived therefrom. This
charge is not confined solely to those at the works.
but is equally if not mainly, attributable to the
wagoners and others in charge of animals. Several
cases have come to knowledge, wherein the Of
tenders have, in open daylight, entered premises,
seized cattle and other things, and deed the
to their teeth. We are panied to learn that an
teemed citizen of Vcksburg, VIM. Porterfeld,
was under the necessity in protecting his property
to wound one two soldiers, and deprive another
OF MS H1e we 1uly appreciate the fatigue, hard
ships and privation to which men subjected;
but upon inquiry it may ascertaned that city
is second to none in contributing to the welfare of
those gallant spirits who risk their life and limb for
the achievement of an end which will make one
of the most honored people of the earth, and such
conduct of which complain is base ingratitude.
A soldier has his honor at much at stake as when
citizen; then let him preserve his good name and
reputation with the jealous care as before he
entered his countrys ranks But so long this end
is lost sight of, long may expect to chronicle
scenes of bloodshed among those of people.
We make this public exposure mortifying it is
to us, with the hope that sautary Improvement in
matters will be made by our military authorities"
