There were, beginning from the hour when McCIeilan was attacked on the Cbickahoininy, half a dozen periods daring the war when Rich mond was open to capture by the Federals, and yet it was held until events necessitated its evacuation. There never was an hour, from the time Vicksbnrg was first invested until Pemberton's surrender, when there was the least chance for its capture, and yet the Federal Gov ernment made no account of life or treasure in seeking to bring it about. All military men saw, after the war, how Bichmond could have been taken and wondered that it was not, but no one has asserted that Vicksbnrg should have fallen an hour before it did. The iron clad fleet could run the batteries, but with the bluffs lined with guns for miles, and field batteries posted all along the banks, a boat could effect no more at one point than another. The country back offered every advantage to an army of de fense, being broken and timbered and easily forfeited, and when Sherman let go of the undertaking it was in the beuel that nothing but a long siege could ever give a Federal general possession of the place. Other points alongtbe river tell into Federal hands at the first attack, but Vicksbnrg was a Gib raltar which the Confederates were determined to hold at- any cost. A. DETERMINED PEOPLE. A few families out of the many sought safety in the interior, or left the State altogether when it was realized that Vicksbnrg was to be attacked ' and defended with desperate energy, bat the majority remained. Indeed, they were not prepared to go. ' A siege offered scarcely more anxiety than a hur ried removal to a locality among stran gers who had enough to ' en dure without further- burdens. As the city faces the river; the only danger to be feared was from, the ileet. To escape this almost every household had its cave ia the bluffs. These Vere tunnels, : having their openings on : the far side of, the -bluffs, and generally ending In a chamber after running, in ten, .or twelve leet. '- Having . from' ' fifty: to five hundred feet of 6olid hill be tween them and the river, the peo-! pie sheltered in these caves "were, perfectly safe from missies, but the: danger was" in - getting to ' them'.; The Federal: fleet 'did not' send word in advance when a bombard- j ment was to begin, and the, fire Was. as likely to open at mtanignt as any hoar in the day, At the first gun everybody wonid stare up. At. the second or third the non combatants would prepare to rush to shelter, and the rash mast be made with solid snot and Dursung shell sonnding their fearful warn-1 incrs to make haste. Women and children were at times half buried or knocked down as they ran, bat the deaths ; were few and far be tween. Probebly the entire list , would not count up a dozen names. , V THE CANAL.. The cut-off which' Gen, Williams first began across the Peninsula op posite Vicksbnrg and about1 five miles Troin the city was intended to isolate the post and render its de fense worthless. The length of the cat was only a mile and had things worked as intended Vicksbnrg must . have surrendered or been evacnated within a week. Williams could not get the waters of the Mississippi to ran into his ditch. He had the ad vice of the best civil engineers, but however well they understood sur veying a line of defense they did not understand the nature of the big river. The angle at which they I struck the river was incorrect. It was correct from an engineer's standpoint, bat the erratic nature of the current bad not been consid ered. 'Therefore the diggers had the strange speatacle before them of a great- river rushing past the open mouth of a ditch five feet lower than the dmt-wood hurrying by and yet without enough water flowing into the cut to float a skiff. It was a matter of annoyance and chagrin, and the job was finally Abandoned in disgust. GRANT TRIES HIS HAND. The two fleets had bombarded Vicksbnrg without serious effect, and Sherman had lost 2,000 men by attacking from the land side. Grant now concentrated at Young's Point to try his hand on the canal. He had determined to capture Vicksburg, and this was the easiest way. Thousands of soldiers went to work with pick, wheelbarrow and spade, and a powerful dredge boat was also brought into opera tion at the lower end of the ditch. A bulkhead was constructed across the mouth of the cut, and it was hopefully believed that when the spring floods came the canal would prove a grand success. The work was begun iu January and vigorously pushed until near the middle of March. At that time the bed of the canal was down at least eight feet in the shallowest I spot, while in others it was three or four feet lower. The hard work i had sent hundreds of men to the j hospital and the grave, but a iewj I more days would see the iron-dads i : and transports floating across the' .peninsula and flankiug Vicksburg. i Then came disaster. The flood in I the Mississippi suddenly increased, the bulkhead was ilnveu in with i terrible crash, and seven leet of water went booming through the ditch with such speed that a num-1 Ikt tit' the diggers were over-1 whelmed aud all the tools lost, it! was hoped that the current would1 scour out a deeper channel, but it j simply caused a removal of all the camps in the neighborhood, filled 1 up the swamps and then ceased; miming. Grant, had failed just as i Williams had failed. The Missis-; sippi would run past the canal in- stead of into it. Years atler, when gnu boat and; 1- the soil, the great river was seized with a sudden w him, and alone aud mi auled it cut its way across that! neck of land iu the most vigorous manner. THE SWAN LAKE ROUTE. Grant turned from the canal to find another route. He went seventy-five miles above Vicksburg to Lake Providence, intending to work down into Swan Lake, Black River, Bed Kiver and so on down into the Mississippi. This would flank Vicksburg just the same, and he went at his task with a determina tion to win. If Capt. Eads were asked to-day how much time and money he would demand to open that route and send ten steamboats down he would place the sum at hundreds of thousands and the time at months. At the very out set 5,000 men were set at work to deepen a sluggish creek six or seven miles long. It was the story of the cnt-off at Island jSo. 10 over again Trees, stumps, snags and roots were the constant and troublesome ob structions, and the men working in the mud and water and malaria were soon made sick. There . was scarcely a mile of the long route free from obstructions, and Grant was beaten again. He succeeded in passing a few craft as far as Lake Providence, and then he gave up the task. It was a route which could not float a barge unless the Mississippi remained at a high stage to furnish water. , THE YAZOO PASS. Grant was disgusted but not dis heartened. He at once prepared for a third attempt. Striking north of Vicksburg about 140 miles he began operations at Moon Lake From the river, he cut a canal to enable his boats to enter the lake. The lake discharged into Yazoo Pass, the pass into the Coldwater, the latter, into the Tallahatchie, and this stream emptied into the Yazoo. Grant could flank every thing by this route, and the North now looked upon Vicksbnrg as good as captured. The Mississippi poured into Moon Lake and created a heavy current along the entire route, and the, adjacent country was overflowed, so' that the Confederates had little show to prevent the com plete success of this grand scheme. .. A SUDDEN HALT, t Bat if;ithey. could not prevent Grant from opening the route and using it, they were not to remain passive spectators, xue day tnat the Federals began operations at Moon, Lake, the Confederates be gan work on the Tallahatchie, eight or ten miles above the Yallobusha. Here, at a sharp bend in the river, Fort Pembertorj was erected. While the fort was hurriedly constructed, and was nothing to boast of as a work of strength,' its location "and the nature' of the ground on all sides made ' itv impregnable and brought disaster to Grant's scheme. . The iron clads were leading the way down the Tallahatchie, and nothing more "serious than fnsilades by " concealed sharpshooters had been "encountered when Fort Pem berton suddenly made its presence known. The Chillicothe, a heavily armed and thick-plated iron-clad, moved boldly down and opened fire- supposin git to be some field Vork thrown up in a hurry to pro tect -two or three light guns. In the course of half an hour the iron clad backed out of range ot the heavy guns of the fort, and later on a second gun boat also found the fire of the fort too much for her. A force of infantry was theu landed, a battery constructed as near the fort as possible, and when all was ready the gun-boats and battery opened fire and continued it for hoars, sometimes silencing the Confederate guns - for a time, and again having plenty to do to hold their own. The gun-boats were considerably damaged by the accurate fire, and as the infantry had no show to carry the fort by a land attack the expedition was abandoned, aud Grant had to score another failure. THE STEELE'S BAYOU ROUTE. There was just one more chance. Above the month of the Yazoo was a creek running from the Missis sippi River to Steele's Bayou. This bayou was connected with others, and finally with the Sunflower River. If a way could be opened Haines' Bluff could be flanked. The soldiers were agaiu set at work to dig aud saw aud clear away, and Porter led tlie way with his gun boats and Sherman followed with a force of infantry. Between the bayous the streams were only wide enough to pass a steamer, and for miles the trees had to be cut away or frimmed up to get overhanging limbs out of the way. The flood had now subsided and the woods were full of Confederate sharp shooters, while every negro who could be found was set to felling trees across the streams aud other wise obstructing them. Some days the boats did not advance forty rods, and one obstruction was no sooner removed than another was encountered. Sherman's infantry could do no more than protect the force engaged iu clearing the was-, and finally it could not even do that As the expedition approached the Sunflower River the Confeder ates began obstructing the line of retreat with the intention of cap turing the entire force. Success might have attended the design had not Sherman been reinforced and the expedition ordered to re turn. It had consumed weeks of time, lost many men, accomplished an immense amount of labor, and without return. Haines' Bluff was till crowned with guns and lcks- bur" was still sate and defiant. Grant had tried every way but one. That was to move up against lem berton's fortifications and bang there and tight him until Vicks burg was starved into surrender. He had sought in every way to avoid the loss of life sure to attend this plan and to save the time that a siege would consume, but he had been baffled. He now prepared to adopt the fighting plan, and Vicks burg made icady for what w as to come. M. IJCAD. A great many of the negroes in Georgia are dying of consumption. The Ualtou Xtim says they have been so assiduous iu their attend ance upou night meetings that the cold aud exposure are getting in their work. STATE NEWS Gleaned from ear Exchanges. Durham Tobacco Plant; The high prices of tobacco for the past few weeks have been almost unprece dented. Dave Burtoriy of Caswell, sold four loads of the weed in Dur ham last week for $2,600. He has in his barns now not less than 10,000 pounds, and bis crop will realize him $8,000. In addition to bis to bacco crop he made all the neces saries for the farm. This kind of farm in g pays. He w as awarded the prize bell at Lea & Lockhart's last Wednesday. Wilmington Revieic: Thus far this year the City Clerk has issued 32G badges for dogs, about a dozen of which, however, were duplicates. There are now not quite 1,000 that roam the streets in unbridled, un- badged and unlicensed freedom.- Talk abont rapid growth, here ts a specimen. A inullen plant in a garden in this city, which four weeks ago last Monday was bat a few inches above the ground, has now attained a height of - 8 feet. This growth is at the rate of 21 inches a week or 3 inches each day. It is almost wonderfnl. Tarboro Southerner: , M.r.. J: H. Gordon, who for many: years has peddled tobacco in the, Eastern counties, was through . here last week. His recollection of the early politics ot the country, is vivid and notwithstanding his age, he ut still vigorous. . VV hen Clay went to Ral eigh his party friends sent carriages down to Granville for Mr. Gordon and twenty-seven of bis sons who were old enough to vote, and were all Whigs, to welcome the great Kentnckian. The old man and the boys went with great pleasure and Mr. G. happily describes their in terview with Clay. Charlotte Journal-Observer: A party of the well-posted yesterday set to work and counted it up fthat between now and next ' December there will be fourteen weddings iu the city. This number is said to be already in sight, to say nothing of the matches that may be made in the meantime. Five new brick stores going up around the corner ot Fourth and College streets gives that locality an air of business. It looks like a new town down that way. There were three funerals in the city yesterday afternoon, at 3, 4 and 5 o'clock, one of an aged lady, one of a colored man, and one of a little child. Washington Gazette: Through the kind influence of Col.

When found the child was wandering in the direction of and near the pocosin. Wilmmeton Star: Dunne a severe thunder storm that passed over Alma, Robeson county, on the Carolina Central Railroad, on Mon day last, lightning struck the resi dence of Mr. J. B. Wilkinson, of the firm of Wilkinson & Fore, do ing considerable -damage to the building, the electric fluid having entered it in several places. The family had just left the dining room and"were scattered in different por tions of the house. Mrs. Wilkin son, Mrs. L. H. Fore and Mrs. Chas. H. Fore, the latter of this city, were badly stunned by. the shock, one of the ladies falling to the floor insensible, in which condition she remained for some time, much to the alarm of her frinds, who thought she had been fatally injured. At last accounts all had recovered. Elizabeth. City Economist: Thirty odd buildings are in course of con struction in town. This looks like prosperity. Farmers fear that the frequent rains have damaged the- crops very much.. The; rice prospects are more favorable than last year. -We are glad to see the increasing interest in the Normal School. More teachers, in attend ance last week, and we hear of several who are to come In this week. An able corps of teachers have charge of the school, and it is the duty of every teacher in this and adjoining counties to attend; nay we think tnat tne scnooi law requires them to attend. . We think the Principal, Capt. Bell, a live man and fully up with the times. Again wf anv. artpnil rhp Normal. Roanoke jsews: on Saturday afternoon lightning struck in the well of Mr. J. A. Han-ell, came up through the ground aud entered his kitchen, tearing the timbers but did no serious damage. Mr. H. B. Harrell who was standing on the steps was a little shocked but has gotten over it. The water which was clear and pure is now very muddy and hardly fit for drinking. On Friday lightning struck a cabin on the farm of R. H. Purring ton, Esq., near Scotland Neck and set it on fire. The house and con tents were burned to the ground. Fortunately uo one was in it at the time. One day hist week lightning struck a stable across the river from Nbrfleet's ferry, set it on fire aud burned it to the ground. Two horses w ene destroyed. We did not learn to whom it belonged. A cave on the Colorado river, j over one mile in length, and in some places thirty feet in width, is at-j trading considerable attention at Lampasas, Texas. This cave is i about sixteen miles from the. town, i and has two small streams running j through it, which are about two feet deep. I Birmingham Sunday Chroniclv: We are informed that Florida next i autumn will celebrate the introdue-! tion Presbyterianism iu that State. West Florida, near Lake De Fuuiak, was colonized many years ago by a band of noble Scotch Presby terians, and to-day their descend ants class as t he best people iu that State. They retain all the primi tive forms of their worship, sing their old psalms aud pay 100 cents on the dollar all the time. Queer Stories. A deed of property lately made over to the United States, near Fort Davis, Texas, reads: "To the United States or its successors.' ' An Englishman bequeathed his two daughters their weight in 1 bank notes. One of the girls re ceived 54,200, and the other 59,34-1. The wife of J. W; Wise of Spur Hngton, Ky., is a grand-mother at 31 years of age. She was married at the age of 11, and her daughter was married at the same age. The reason given by a Camden, Oneida county, man, for not marry ing again-is' that his lot in the cemetery" is now full.- he having re cently buried his sixth wife there. Letters deposited in the Ottum wa (Iowa) Post-office iu 18CC. have just come to light. They were discov ered in tearing down the building. They had beenlost through a de feet in the slide. , In a replevin suit at Stevensville, Montana, relating to a pair of reins bought at auction for 50 cents, the unsuccessful litigant paid in ests more than $500. Over 100 wit nesses were examined. Two cattle dealers of Bay St. Lonis, pained Odum, .aqdf Borden, quarrelled unde a pine sapling daring a storm. Borden -held up the knife to. strike his opponent, but at that instant a stroke of lightning killed them both. A man named' Van Voust warned several young men not to bathe in the Mohawk at Schenectady on Sunday, but they disregarded him. Van Voust then carried off an arm ful of their, clothing. A tall young man of the party found a. headless barrel, into which he stepped, and thus made his way home while the dogs of the town furnished a howl ing escort. ; John House, of Reading, Pa., was in the Soutk when the war broke out, and he wrote to his wife that he had been forced to join the rebel army. Nothing more' Was heard from him, and he was mourn ed as dead. Recently he returned home. He says that when the rebel army marched to Gettysburg, he one night made nis escape, but was recaptured and put on board a war vessel, where he remained for some time and then made his es cape. He travelled westward, was taken prisoner by Indians and was held captive for fifteen years. - He learned a number of Indian dialects. and became a member of a tribe. He made- his - escape at last, went to France, and returned to America via Cuba. " The daughter of the late Harvey Jewell some, weeks ago" dreamed that she savy an undertaker drive, up to her residence witH': a fiearsej He . was a' 'pecnliar-lOokih'g' rrtan. His 1 queerly "shaped nose, Which looked as i" it had been broken and was twisted to one side,' "gave his countenance a" very odd expression. He came directly toward her, and as he said "Are you ready?" she suddenly awoke. Within a week the dream was repeated, even to the words "Are you ready!" While visiting Cincinnati some days after ward she wen$., to a hotel to call upon a friend, and, stepping into an' elevator,' was startled to hear the man in charge say,' "Are you ready!" She was greatly agitated when, turning; to lopk at him, she beheld the exact counterpart of the man In her dream. She requested to' be let out of the elevator at the first landing. " She stepped out and the man remained. The elevator machinery gave out; suddenly the car went up. and then down, and the man was killed." ' Made Useful. There is one man in the ity who is willing to be managed by his wife. He knows that she is efficient,, and that he is deficient; he there fore relies on her to support the family and to find him employment. They live happily together, as the following uarrative ot ber expe rience, given in the IJoston ulooe, shows: 1 am a milliner, and I have made between 1,500 and $2,500 a year in my business for some time past. I married four years ago. My husband is kind and good-looking, but he never learned any trade, had no profession, and could not aver age $500 a year. 1 loved bim, liowever, out i saw- that it would not do to depend upon him, so I kept on with my business. After a time I think he became a little lazy, and as we were both away during the day, we could not keep house, and were tired of boarding. Finally, 1 proposed that he should keep house aud I would run the business and find the money. We have now lived very happily in this way for two years. My husband gets up and builds the fire, gets breakfast, and I leave at G:45 for my place of business. He does the washing aud ironing, the cleaning, and I do not know of any womau who can do such work any better. He is as neat as wax, and cau cook equal to any one in town. I may be an isolated case, but I thind the time has now come when women who have husbands to sup port should make them do the housework; otherwise they are luxuries we must do without. A tin nip is growing in iSt. Au gustine, Fla., that measures two and a. half feet in circumference. The fruit and vegetable growers iu the vicinity ol lla.Ichuist.

The people alonu' the Mississippi river, near Memphis, are crying out for prompter and more frequent postal facilities. Between New Osleans and Memphis the river parishes and counties contain 750,000 inhabitants, (wo thirds of whom live within five miles of the Mississippi, and are dependent on it for their mails. Death of Distinguished North Caro linlang. Daring the past few days North Carolina has lost two distinguished sons; one Governor Rencher, who nad attained great age and was called to his final account after a life remarkable lor its varied and extensive public service; the other Prof. Grandy, who was cut down before be nad reached his thirty first birthday. But young as he w,as he had won a title to fame. He was. "pre-emipently first" in bis class at Horner's School and grad uated with "first distinction" at the Military Institute at Lexingtou, Va. While only twenty-two years of age he became a teacher at his alma mater and then taught at Yorkville, S. C. But in 187C he was elected a professor at our own State University an institution ever eager to avail itself of the best North , Carolina talent. Here he justified every conception of his proficiency. He was competent to fill any chairand finally be came professor of natural philoso phy and civil en gineeripg, which position he held until he resigned last year because of ill health. He was cut down, alas ! in the bloom of manhood, and denied that Idng career of distinction - which fell ' to the lot of Governor Bencher, ; Such are the,, vicissitudes of an. earthly existence.' To one is' vouchsafed a long life; illustrious by virtae, me morable for usefnlnes and success ful in the enjoyment . of merited honors., Another bright and shin ing star courses through the firma ment and is lost to view almost as soon as its beauty and btightness are discovered. News- Observer. Silvery Tonrued. Arkansas Traveler. Colonel Joglin, editor of the Ar kansas Trigger, was , arrested and arraigned before court on a charge of assault with intent to wipe from the face of the . earth. - Some time ago a young man, . who, for. several months, had been a journalist, se cured a situation .on the Trigger, Shortly - afterwards . the people in the neighborhood were startled by distressing noises, and harrying to the Trigger office, they found Colo nel Joglin standing over a young man, belaboring, as Mark Twain delights to say, the immortal bouI out of him with a board. ' In court the Colonel made no denial of the assault, but declared be had a cause to act with a decision' which some people in their ignorance, might ,term violence. : . , . . ; Tbe young man was a. reporter, was he?'? asked the Judge. iiYes, he was.a journalist." n "Did you s whale hin - because he failed to maket, personal mention of the fact that , you had. returned from visit to Uncle Billy So-and-Soy who lives out in the White Oak district ! , '-;i '-'. : "Nay8ir.'!. ,.....' . , . .. "Well, did--yon fall -him because he saSd Miss- Suoh-and Such, the beautiful and accomplished daught er of General Blow-and-Puff the freckled face girl who giggles was on a visit to the amiable and hand some daughter of the editor-in-chief I" "No, sir." "What did he do!" "Why, sir, he wrote this " and he read-the following irom his pa pen -"We were very much pleased to meet, the other evening, Mr. John Gugnckle, the rising young attorney of Snackville, the silvery tongued orator of Mulehead county." Now, sir, this silvery tongue and rising young lawyer business has been carried on long enough. Every fellow in the State ' who stays in a lawyer's office is a rising young attorney and a silvery tongued orator. Here's another notice: 'We were delighted, yes terday, to form the acquaintance of Mr. Thomas Meatwing, of Snack ville, who is a rising young attor ney and the silvery tongued orator of Mulehead county.' Here are a few more, Judge: 'Captain James Hughle, the rising young attorney and silvery tongued orator, of Mulehead county, is here. Col. Westey Hoggers, the silvery tongued, who has scores of friends in the city, of Mulehead county, is with us.' 1 couldn't stand that any longer. So many silvery tongues from one county sickened merand I downed the rising young journalist." "Of course you acted in self de fence," the Judge replied. I re gret very much (hat you did not kill the silvery tipped young jour nalist, but in the belief that you discharged jour duty to the best of your ability, I discharge you." The Judge Himself Was Posted. As illustrating some of the re markable laws of Indiana on the subject of divorce, the Hon. Thad deus P. Rollins related the other day the story of a divorce which he procured in Oass county some years since, before Judge Chase. The nllegations in the complaiut were drunkenuess and general worthless uess of the defendant. When the case came on, a witness was called to prove the character and habits of'the defendant. Mr. Rollins asked him the question: "Do yon know Mr. , the de fendant iu this case. Mr. Bairdf The answer was in the affirma tive. At this point Judge Chase looked up, and said: "Mr. Baird, tell me if that man is the same Mr. who was in Company K, of the Indiana Regiment during the war?'' "The same man, judge," was the answer.
