vigation of the Mississippi; but either in their blindness or their inability to escape from the meshes thrown around them by the Abe Lincoln Government, the proposition was not accepted.--The West has still waged the war, and every blow that it has struck has only tended the more effectually to fasten on them the chains of commercial and financial bondage to the North and East. The West has so far succeeded as to have control of the river down to Vicksburg, while New England (or rather Massachusetts) controls from the Gulf to Port Hudson. Therefore, the only remaining portion of the river not open to commerce is from Vicksburg to Port Hudson. The Yankee gun boat patrol renders it useless to us always, excepting some forlorn flatboat or skiff which the Yankees have not destroyed, and which our people use to ferry themselves over the river. The trade of the West down to Vicksburg is but trilling, and, take away the attractions of a large army, amounts to almost nothing. To mak

New England holds the river, with New Orleans, to Port Hudson, and the only South, instead of going to the East over the railroads around by New England and the northern capital, and what advantage has the West gainedes will be continually captured and destroyed; and to crown all, New England has a capacious month, extended "wide open" to swallow up whateventitled to no sympathy.

The possession of the Mississippi river--Vicksburg and Port Hudson The Jackson correspondent of the Mobile Register discusses, in the following letter, a question which is rendered of more interest by the intelligence of the fall of Vicksburg: The question frequently suggests itself, suppose we abandon Port Hudson and Vicksburg, what benefit would the Federal Government derive — what injury would it entail upon the Confederacy? Suppose we should give up those places and thus gratifyistory for the last two years and then judge the future by the past. The object held in view by the West for the prosecution of the war is, that the possession of these places would give them the free and unobstructed navigation of the Mississippi river to the Gulf, and as a necessary consequence, its commerce and that of its tributaries. The commerce and trade of the Mississippi is absolutely essential to the existence of the Western people, who have two great and powerful motives in car

In ordinary times the trade of Vicksburg alone was worth more to the West than will be all the trade of the Mississippi and its tributaries with Vicksburg and Port Hudson in their possession. Let the West have the Mississippi and still remain in arms against the South, and what will her trade be worth?--The question can be answered in a word — nothing. Then suppose the war continued, the West is paid in greenbacks and the coin husbanded in the North, while a debt is

ent of these places, and the West can receive little or no benefit from the day that Port Hudson and Vicksburg are abandoned than she now enjoys. It will be contended that to give up these places will encourage the West to renewed energy, and cause a procrastination of the war. This may be the case, but only for a little season. Not until then will the West realize the fact that she has lost her best cash customer and most true friend. It will then be as clear as "mud" to the Hoosiers, Buck eyes and Suckers, that they have been befooled to such an extent as to cause them to turn on their deceivers in their wrath, and take full vengeance. Nothing is more true in the natural course of life than that no man, however great a fool he may be, likes to be told of it, and, moreover, used as an instrument in the bands of his more crafty and subtle neighbor. Again, it may be urged that it would free a large portion of the Federal army, and thus enable the enemy to successfully carry out
