For forty days and nights, with out interval, the women and chil dren of Vicksburg took calmly and bravely the iron storm which, in less volume and in a few minutes, turn ed back the victorious column of Beaurogard from Pittsburg Land ing. They wreaked their worst and utmost on the town, bringing out the most vicious of all war's aspects. That the ordinary atmosphero of life, the course of conversatiou, the thread of every human existence took in for nearly two months the momently contingency of theso messengers of thunder an:l murder, is past ordii'ry comprehonsion. Hown i mmy of them cana and burst, nobody can have the least idea. An account says that on June 22, 150,.. 000 shells fell inside of the city ; but this was probably an exaggera tion. They became at last such an ordinary occurrence of daily life that I have seen ladies walk quietly along the streets while the shells burst above thom, their heads pro tected meanwhile by a parasol hold between them and the sun I Nothing was spared by the shells. The churehes fared especially severely, and the reverend clergy had narrow escapes. The libraries of Rev. Dr. Lord, of the Episcopal, and of Rev. Dr. Rutherford, of the Presbyterian church, were both invaded and badly worsted. One Baptist church had been rendored useless for purposes of worship by the previous shelling. But what muttered churches, or any sacred place, or sacred exercise, at such a time I There was nothing more striking about the interior of the siege than breaking lown of the ordinary partition between the days of the week, as well as the walls which make safe and saved domestic life. During those long weeks there was no sound or summon of bell to prayer. There was no song of praise. The mortars had no almanac, and the mortals kept at home a perpetual service of fast and humiliation. AN ATMOSPHERE OF DEATII. I have spoken of the wretched expedients to which families ro sorted in the hope of safety. Vicks burg hangs on the side of a hill, whose name is poetical-the Sky Parlor. On it thousands of people assembled to see the great sight when the Federal ships went by on the night of the 16th of April; at wichl time the houses of Do Soto were kindled onl the othmer side, lending a lurid background to thei dark shadows of the boats, while the fire of the batteries made the river aL sheet of flame I But thle Sky Parlor was reserved for other uses. Its soil wvas light and friable, and yet sufficiently stiff to answer tile pur'poses of excavation. Whorever' tile passage of a street loft the face of tile hill exposed, into it and under it the p)eople bunrrowed, making long ranges and systems of chambers and arches within whiichl the women and young took shelter. In thoem all the offices of life-'had to be discharged, except that gonorally the cookimg-stove stood near the en trance, olportunity to p)erform upon it being seized and improved during the shells' diversions in other quarters. Some. imoes the caves were strengthened by pillars and wooden joists, and bea~s and furniture were crowded in them. WVhether they were really effective as against tile largest shells dropped directly above, I cannot tell. Stories were told, more than once during the siege, of people who had been buried alive by the collapse of eaves ; but they probably were not true. They miade good shelter against tbhe flying fragments of the bomnbs, and this was no,smalle mat.. ter. Ib was rather a point of honor among men not to hide. in these places, which were reserved for the women and children. Under 'all olrcumst'ances of difficulty, the niodest of these wasL supported in tlie h aAzpse RIe of t ave lloadluartors, which had boon a bank, was a vault in its collar. Ono night, when more than a dozen of thom wore iuddlod in it, a sholl j struck the brick arch squaroly and burst tho s'le monimt. Nono of the pieces penetrated : but would it have g;one through, was tho ques tion. And sup)1)oso it had, and had then bttrst ? I believo the vault Was never again ocetupiedl by thlo h tdios. Considering tho constant danger and tho m:my narrow ocapos, it is a great wondor that the casualties among the non COmbatants wore so few. I know of but one, and that was not fatal ; the loss of an arm by Mrs. Major Roid, whilo bringing her children under sheltor from a sudden storm of shells. Thoro wore doubtless others, but I hav sought in vain to obtain the figu1res. Ilside and out. side the lines there wero many ex a:;gorated stories inl this confeetion. One of the mortalities ptiblislshd wats that of Mrs. General Pembor-. ton, who was at Gainesvillo, Ala., the while. How theso people subsisted was another wonder. The straits to which the garrison woro rodneod are known, in fart. "After the tenth day of tihe siege," says the report of General Stephen ). Leo, "th mlen lived on about half rations, and loss than that toward the clo:;o." The ration has beon describod to consist of onosquartor pound of bacon, one -half pound of beef, live-eights quart of meal, bo sides an allowatnre of peas, rice, sugar n111d molasses. Of this, anon. Tihe citizens must have had less and where they got that from was a mystery. Blusilness, of course, was slspend.led. There were some stores that had supplies, a1nd1 at thoso prices climbed stedily ill ia ialnnor Ssuggestive of the prophocy of Je('rullsalem's llldoilg. A barrel of flour at last Came to sell for $100 an immense liguro thlonl ; but worse than the figure were two later facts --that nobody had the money and then nobody had th flour. Som people eked out their supplies by cooking the tender sprouts of the common cane, of which there was an immense "brake" just below Vicksburg. I havo reason to believe that few applications, and those only by the poorost people, wore made to the military powers for help throughout all this trial. 'Sympatly and patriotism must have improvised a practical colomnnism. The cruise and barrel had a little dust and unction to the last. LA n S 01 luxxv xxx. People would not wonder why newspaper paragraphists and lit Iorists wore such savage creatures if they know how poorly the para graphists are reulneratod. Our most famous newspaper writers draw comparatively slim salaties. Thoro is Catlin, of the New York Uomnercial Advertiser-ho gets $25 a week and the glory consoquent upon his work. Williams, of the I Norristown IHrald, gets $30 a week and glory ; Burdett, of the Bunrling, ton Iawk-JEge, gets $30 awvoek and -. glory ; Goldsmith, the P. I. man of7 the Now York Herald, gets $35 a wookc and glory' ; Lewis, of the * Detroit FPree Pess, has an annual salary of $1,800 and glory ; Cris~ well of the Oil City .Decrrich, and Burbank, of the New Orleans icway . une, draw $25 a week and look to ~ glory for what else is re quired to keep the wvolf away from the door." Hereafter let us not chide the poor paragraphist. Lot us deal tenderly 4 with the bruised reed. To the above we add that Field, ' the funny man of the J'ourMzal, gets ~ $35 a wocck, earns it all, and spoends it like a gontleman.-BS. Louis ; Journal.
