TI1K BATTLE (HtOUNI) AllOL'ND TllK
CITY OF VICKSni'HU.
On Monday list, says the coiresprn-
: d'-ifee of llie Cinciiinatli Comuicrriat, in
company w It 1 1 an ollicer of high rank,
who paituieito'l in Hit i-ieg-, for my
c.'i-i roil c, I ex imine. 1 iho balilo field
around Yiekburg: Unless one under
stands (he topography of iho country, it
is impossible to ccmprehciid tho niegni
lude t.f ih! military operations coniiect
cd wit'i the siege. J'y some mig'ity up
heiivi.1 i t naliuo the whole country is
cut up. into deep ravines, wa-hes, g illies,
and sharp aogiilai- hills The popular
idea of a banle field being a plain, would
be peilectly '.nlagoiuzed hero. In the
assaults niadu upon tho Confederate,
woiks it was impossil l to deploy n line
of hatlle hence tin? charges were nude
by beau ofeoluinn We examined one
road over which I 'lair's division charged.,
and where the heavie-t slaughter drued
The roa.l is l(!ca!ed on lie crow n of a
narrow ridge, runs over comparatively
unoolh ground along tho edge of lhu
ditch, on the right face of the enemy's
position, and enters the parapet nt tho
.-boulder of iho bastion. Tho crown of
this ridge road was perfectly coo-mandod
by tho well served nriilloiy and pircisu
nin-kelry of tho rebels, and to cross this
point was tho terrible gauntlet of tho
baillo. Tin-danger was all in fn'iy feet,
'or before reaching and nller crossing
tlusspace tlio approach was comparative
ly covered. As soon as the head of iho
column reached this point, the enemy, 111
double rank, rose fiom behind his breast
wi iksand poured a niking and tei rilio
lire upon the assaulting party. The
rear would press forward, but to fall
before the well directed fire. The result
was a disastrous repulse, and tho pro
duction ot the conviction in the minds of
the leading Generals that such was tho
strength of tho nutural and artificial de
fences of Vicksbnrg, and tho detoriniii
ation if the f'orco which lay behind ilium
that the place could never bo taken by
assault, and only, it ever, by thu regular
apptoaches of parallels and paps. This
alterward was the policy of iho Federals.
I5y taking advaulago of the ground,
they advanced their parallel works with
in a hundred yards of tho redoubts which
commanded tho roads, and then restor
ed to the preparation of covered road-;
and regular Daps. A nap is simply n
deep trench, so dug ns lo allow of cov
ered npproach to a furtilied place. At
appropriate- spaces traverses aro dug
for tho purpose of deploying and cover
ing tho men. Thcuo siqis aro dug un
der tho protection of gabions. A gabi
on is a hollow cylinder of wicker work,
resembling ft basket, but having no hot.
torn, filled with caith, nnd scrying to
cover tho men from tho enemy's Gro
wlilo engaged excavating. Scores of
these '-nps,"hall filled wi'h earth, may
bo scon around the crumbling works.
liy moans of these tho Federal army was
enabled, with small loss, to lodgo itself
dirtctly under lha shadow ot tho Con
federate torlillcations. Suth was ihju
proximity that nrtilWy nnd rifles wdra
considered inellicient, and llm only ef
fective weapon tho rebels could emp'oy
was iho hand grenade. This missile is
a min.it are shell about u-o inches und a
half in diameter, filled .with powder, ex
ploded with .1 fuso and thrown by hand
into the trenches or lodgements cf the
enemy. Tho eflioor who was with me
inlormed mo that the prevailing impres
sion that the morning of iho -1th of July
was to have been distiiitruinhed by a gen
eral ansault, is (.ncorrcct. Nothing more
was contemplated for that day than a
terrific shelling of tho enoiny's hues, nnd
preparations for a grand assault to be
made upon the Gth.
Ho wasAdj-it.ini Gonaral to one of
the divisions, nml saw tho order issued
by General Sherman to his troops. The
plan was ns follows : Ten soldiers from
e.'tch company .were to bo detailed to
run ahead, and with as many giuinyhags
tightly packed with cotton, throw them
into tho ditches t-.ud alongside the ram
parts, a-id tluis jiirni a compact footway
over which the assaulting columns were
to march. Thu plan was approved by
a'l tho General olliuers, and would, had
not Iho capitulation on tho 1th rendered
it unnecessary, undoubtedly proven suc-cc-slul.
I have already intimated that
Iho principal losses of tho United States
foieos in tho sicgo of Vicksburg were
occasioned by the two charges ordered
by General Grant. After tho sappers
and miners began their work, the loss
was surprisingly small. The army was
then so many thousand moles approach
ing mi lergwund tho strongholds of the
; enemy. Jut the loss m the two charges
! must have been immoiis". I have visit
j ed tho cemetery into which has been
gathered the Federal shun, and observed
I upon llio ilead board of tho number l,
! li.'l". There sic acres of graves, and
i yet many 1 f the hones of tho fallen ho
j. roes have not been gathered up by those
j appointed for that purpose. On one of
j tho old battle fields we' observed in one
I pile the skeletons ot seven men. Tho
j bone had been washed or plowed up,
I an 1 n'ere piled by an old slump, as irrev
I oreiitly and indi-Tiin-innK-ly as we have
I seen boulders in n stony lield. In one of
I the skulls I observed the gold filling of
I the dentist, as perfect as whmi first plac
ed 111 the cavities. Hero and there over
j a largo plowed field could bo detected
j human remains. What a co nmentary
j w. is here upon tho glorias of war!
j Who were these fall ,'n braves? They
I fought for their country's flag, put stars
I upon' their Gur.-.'ral'a shoulders, aJded
brillient chapters to American history,
won ihe the theoretical applauso of their
country, an 1,'so.far as personality is con
cerned, havo served no higher purposo
1 than to enrich a Mississippi cotton field
J with their blood and niuscto and reap
' pear in a rich growth of co'ton and corn,
j 1 1. !s horrible to think of the blood of our
I Union soldiers being coined into golil
but tho next crop of cotton, hy the
transmutations of nature and coir.mmg-
I ling laws oftho vegetable and animal
woild, will present some ( f them to tho
I market in tho h it of thu gre.it staple of
j the S uit h and they' will bs quoted in
the price currents of Livernool by the
penny nnd those ot Now Yoik Wythe
cent. I hope tho ofiieors intrusted wiih
the work will, at least, take care of the
bones f these heroes.
Inside the wasting fortifications oftho
enemy, tho ConfederaU dead are buried,
and their graves aro in 10 belter condi
tion than Ihoso of tho Federals. Tho
ladies of Yick-burg have, however,
adopted preliminary measures for the
reinterment of tho S luthern dead and
the decoration of the places where they
sleep.
A visitor now to the battlefields around
Vicksburg will witness wasting ramparts
half-fi'.led ditches, .fragnionts of shells,
scraps of accoutrements and bleaching
bones all deslineJ soon to pass away,
and kayo 110 traoo behind ot tho mighty
conflicts which made this locality furnish
ono of the most romanl'o and bloody vol
ume of martial history. Where once
tho bray of the trumpet, lolloftbe
drum and shout of charging columns
iho hurtling shell, the whistling ball,
roar of artillery and the raltlo of uiu.-ket
ry was heard now alone can bo detect
ed, the Rounds of peaceful husbandry.
Upon one of thq fields wo s.iw a littlo
negro boy gathering bullets in a tin pail,
which ho Inform id ns his mother took to
thu city and sold ns old lead. .
Tlifiro are tons upon tons of iron nnd
'lead lying about the linos ot fortifica
tions which jnviron Vicksburg.
Every tree contiguous to tho toftili.
cat'ons has been deadened by shot and
shell, nnd contains a caisson load of solid
ammunition, When these missiles en
tered, tho trees were jj;reen and flourish
ing. Now they aro dead and seasoned,
and the perforations look comparatively
small.
Thu Spring the farmers set fire to tho
canebrakes, which luxuriated over the
storied hills. Hundreds of unexplored
shells bursted as the li ro .reached them,
and for a time reminded the neighbor
hood ot the horrors of tho sicgo. Tho
old line of fortifications around which
the battles raged aro from two nnd a half
to ftvo miles lrom tho city. Very few
minks aro left in the city ot the bombard,
ment.. Old rents havo been repaired,
and it is only hero and thero that a stran
ger would detect anything to r::mind
him of tin! fearful scenes which once
"painted hell on the sky" in this Ioc.il-
While around tho crumbling fortifica
tion? nihiglc in common dust the remains
ot tho gallant soldiers of two annios in
life, enemies, in death, friends on Ihe
sidewalks of Iho city the survivors ot ihe
slain greet each other as friends, mingle
in trade, divide profits, share losses, and
challenge eieh other in tho enterprises of
practical life.
A NOVEL nil ESS.
We used to think that thtre was one
place in tho United States where the in
habitants wero sufficiently linprovincial
not to interfere with people, whether
they wore dressed as Germans, Turks,
Chinese, Hindoos, or American Indians
Rut it seems that even Now York is
more or less provincial, as a certain Dr
M.u-yE. Walker, late oftho U. S Army,
wad recently arrested for creating a
crowd by wearing the following dress ;
"Mrs Walker was dressed in a kind
ot gored sack, fitting closely at tho w aist
and reaching a few inches below lh
ki-.eo Relow this point all that is visi.
bin suggests an undergarment nimilar.tn
the pantaloons worn by males, but fuller
and gathered neatly about the ankle.
Tho back is made ot broadcloth, with
very little trimming, and the sack is orn
Ainonted with a single row ofjet buttons
reaching from tho throat down the front
to tho bottom of the dress, Thero is
certainly, says the N. Y. Tri'mnc, noth
ing inimoden in the costume."
Now while we look upon dress, so for
as quo-tic ns of modesty avo concerned,
na a mure mattur of habit no universal
ctst'imo being immodest to the genera
tioa which grows up with it, and net or
knows anything else we do not see that
a drew could well bo more "modest"
than that of Dr. Walker. And while
wo should not bko a lady friend ot ours
to make herself conspicuous, by wearing
any novel attire yet if she choso to
wear such a dress as is described above
we should defend her right to do so.
In fact tho Folit-o Commissioner bo
fore whom Dr. Walker appeared, while
defending tho notion of the oflicer who
a-rested her paid, '-Don't nrrcsl bei
ng ain, oflicer. Let her go. She s smart
"iiough to take care ol herself. Never
arrest her again,"
Apropos to this matter, the. citizens of
every town nnd v il nge in the Union
should kuow that there is no stronger
pro' tthiit they havo never travelled, and
111 e in fact tho veriest "Philistines'' as
the German (itudents say than smiling
or jeering at strangers beciuso et some'
peculiarity in their manners or attiro.
Half Ihe lime those who do this aro only
displaying tl.eir own want ot knowledge
of the in ii'iiers and customs of the great
WO! Id.
Tun Supremo Court ot Pennsylvania
at its recent session at Harrisbiirg. tkcid
ed 111 the case ot ElnoraMohn, ot Lehigh
county, that a woman can bo indicted as
a common scold. Judge Woodward, in
delivering tho opinion of the Court,
s dd :
"As to the unreasonableness of hol
ding women liable to punishment for too
free uso ot their tongues, it is tnough to
say that the common law which is the
express wisdom of ages, njudged that it
is not unrensonnblo And the Legisla
ture have not changed the common law
in this regard, but on tho contrary do
clarcdso recently as 1800 that Ibis of
lt?nso shall bo punished a heretofore."
Wasiiin(!ton, June 19 Tho Comp
troller oftho Treasury has decided that
all mutilated national bank notes 111'tmt
bo sent to tho office from which they
wire issued for redemption. If the
banks reengniao them ho will redeem
them. All United States no'es, when
not defaced more than to the extent one
twentieth, will bo redeemed at tho
Treasury Department at 'their full face
yaliio. When the mutilation is greater
the. redemption will bs iif proportion.
THE CHEAT SETTLEMENT.
Governor Curtin's proposition to have
extra sessions ot all the loyal Stale
Legislatures called lo ratify the constitu
tional amendment appears to have failed.
Tho Executives of New Jersey, Ohio
and New York aro said to havo declined
to do as suggested, and opposition has
also como from other quarters. Wo
sincerely regret this, ns wo believe that
tho whole matter could, be settled, nnd
tho. loyal portion of the southern delega
tions admitted to Congress before the
close of tho Bummer, whereby the agita
tion would bo ended, and tranquiiility
be restored to the wholo country. Such
was Governor Curtin's aim in nwiking
proposition, and so understanding it we
nt onco indorsed it. 15ut Democratic
politicians promptly stopped forward to
oppose and dennuneo it. Thev alleged
that it was a mere effort to avoid leaving
tho amendment to stand the test of the
ensuing elections, and they wero elo
quent on tho point that the present leg
islatures were not chosen with any
reference to this isMio.
Thus tho position of parties in tho
pending campaign is settled- The Re
publicans go bfforo tho people in favor
of a defiiiito nnd righteous immediato
adjustment of our domcsliu trouble
Tho Democrats want no adjustment.
They expect to cultivato southern sec
tionalism as an available basis of parly
strength, TIipJ principles involved in
tho constitutional amendment nru just
those upon which we can most confiden
tly appeal to tho people, and had they
been removed from contest by the im
mediate ratification of the amendment,
as vu proposed, it would havo been a
party sacrillco for tho sake ot public
peaco and prosperity. Now that this is
prevented, mainly through the clamor of
those who havo r'oiio most to prevent
Congress from arriving nt tiny settle
ment at 'all, wo go into tho cnjiv.ass with
the nssurano ; of victory from tho outset.

pledged to tho principles of the consti

the0j

It U against th'ero principles we now
find the Democrats marshaling in every
loyal State. They are issues which ap
peal to the rights, tho interests nnd the
pockets ot c veiy loyal mm in tho repub
lic. They aro indispensably necessary
to the welfaro of the country, and should
they be ignored wo shall all be ngain at
sea in a wild tempest of agitation. Tho
rebels are now silent and subjugated
Rut lot their nllies succeed in defeating
these propositions nnd the enemies of
domestic, pence and civil lights will
onco more como out boldly with all
their ambitious schemes. We do not
fear tho decision soon to bo made. Hut
wo desire the people everywhere to
understand tho matter plainly. These
aro tho great issues. No man must uow
bo allowed to dodgo thorn. Thoso who
are not for them' all aro against them all!
They stand together nnd address the
reason, the common sense, the patriotism
of all loyal men. Let this amendment
be adopted, and nationality will be estab
lished throughout tho republic upon nn
immutable apdim.nnvablo basis. North
