and having neither arms nor organization, was obliged to submit to brute force. Freedom of speech, indeed! or freedom of the press!-it is all nonsense; none dare speak openly, and should the newspaper editors even hint at Yankee tyranny, Fort McHenry is assigned them, without judge or jury. As for habeas corpus!--that is a thing of the past. While I was in the city, the members of the Legislature and Senate arrived, and every one of them who was in the least suspected of Southern feeling was waited upon, either when he landed from the car, or at his hotel, and, without the slightest explanation, conducted to the dungeons of Fort McHenry in the bay! There are fortifications of immense strength overlooking the city, and every gun in every battery is shotted, and pointed at the city!

In truth, our servants feel as much pride in this holy war as we do, and are ever ready, as we have frequently seen, t

Vicksburgh, situated on the east bank of the river, didt bank of the river, for several miles above Vicksburgh, gradually rises higher than the common leveubject to overflows. The Mississippi, above Vicksburgh, runs west to east, and, suddenly bending, rour batteries! As will be seen at a glance, Vicksburgh was an all-important point to the enemy, whoat the mouth of the Yazoo, a few miles above Vicksburgh, we could plainly see Foote's fleet of gunbor, as sailors would say, lies broadside to --Vicksburgh, being about half a mile across; so that wersupply, in an out-of-the-way river, far from Vicksburgh, thirty miles from the nearest railroad stat inclined to try it again. The woods facing Vicksburgh were literally blown down by chance shots frks. Thus ended the first bombardment of Vicksburgh. I am sorry to say that not less than four [6 more...]
