An Iron Hall for Forty Days--People
Dwelling In Caves and Living on Air.
1 S. Grejory in the Philadelphia Times.
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.

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

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

To the above we add that Field, '
