The Daily Dispatch: August 1, 1863., [Electronic resource], Extracts from a paper under fire. (search)
Extracts from a paper under fire. --The "Vicksburg Daily Citizen," printed semiweekly on wall paper, and published by J. M. Swords, has been discontinued since the fall of the city. It was rather amusing to read extracts from it. An "accident to the press" is accounted for in an editorial apology by the bursting of a 100.lb shell in the basement. --Here are some extracts: "We are indebted to Major Gillespie for a steak of Confederate beef — alias mule meat We have tried it, and can assure our friends that they need have no scruples at eating the meat. It is sweet and tender, and so long as we have a mule left we are satisfied our soldiers will be content to subsist on it." Another article states that M. L. Keiser, having on hand more corn than will probably need himself, is distributing to the poor free of charge. "Porter," says our paper, "is enjoying a season of rest. On Tuesday he fired a few shells. The mortars have not been used for 24 hours. Poor fools!
