In the issue of the American of June 5th, 1863, there is an account of the seige of Vicksburg from the "Commercial" of Cincinnati, viz:
"When our army advanced on Vicksburg it was confident that it would make an easy conquest of the place, but the ground in the rear of the city was found to be so much broken and rugged as to be almost impassable by artillery, and the rebel fortifications were ascertained to be very formidable. Being grass grown, it shows that preparations had long since been made to stand a seige upon the land side.
The main fortifications consist) of a chain of pits about eight hundred yards apart, connected by deep entrenchments, and extending seven miles.

22d (Friday) was about 2,000.
"It was the opinion that another general assault would not be ordered, but that the city would be taken by regular siege approaches.
"The Cincinnati Gazette has advices up to the 27th (Wednesday), through a staff officer of one of Gen. Grant's generals, who left for Washington last evening. • "Three assaults had been made by our forces, in all of which we were repulsed. The last assault was made by General Sherman with 20,000 men, in which we lost 600 killed and a large number wounded.
"Our outer line is within one-hundred yards of the rebel works. Our sharpshooters prevent the rebels from working their guns. "The rebel works in the rear of the city are more formidable than those in front.
"Johnston is in the neighborhood of Jackson with about 15,-000 men, short of provisions and ammunition.
"No apprehensions are felt of any serious attack in our rear.
"The same officer says that General Grant has taken eight thousand prisoners and captured 84 pieces of artillery."
A very pretty war poem is in this number and is worthy of
perpetuation:
AFTER ALL,
The apples are ripe in the orchard, The work of the reaper is done,
And the golden woodlands redden In the blood of the dying sun.
At the cottage door the grandsire Sits pale in his easy chair,
While the gentle wind Of twilight Plays with his silver hair.
A woman is kneeling beside him, A fair young hand is prest,
In the first wild passion of sorrow, Against his aged breast.
And far from over the distance The faltering echoes come
Of the flying blast of trumpet .. And the rattling roll of drum.
And the grandsire speaks in a whisper— "The end no man can see;
But we give him to his country, And we give our prayers to Thee."
The violets star the meadows, The rosebuds fringe the door,
And o'er the grassy orchard'
The pink-white blossoms pour.
But the grandsire's chair is empty, The cottage is dark and still—
There's a nameless grave on the battlefield, And a new one under the hill.
And a pallid, tearless woman By the cold hearth sits alone.
And the old clock in the corner Ticks on with a steady drone.
We have written before of the attitude of the Republican Party in Maryland on the slavery question. The following is an editorial of the "Advocate" of June 12th, 1863. Henry Winter Davis, a brilliant Republican of Baltimore city, was nominated for Congress and he came out in a straightforward manner for the emancipation of the slaves. We publish the editorial in full for the benefit of the colored voter who has been taught to believe that the war was waged by the Republicans to free them:

"Slavery Question and Hon. H. Winter Davis.—We have a thousand times or oftener, warned our loyal friends against the dangers likely to ensue from the agitation (at this time) of this exciting and dangerous question in Maryland. The convention which assembled at this place on the 21st ult, wisely gave it as their decided opinion, and sentiment, that it was useless, by setting forth a pre-

amble and series of resolutions in which the question of slavery was not mentioned, and in which all loyal citizens, without respect to party, were invited to join.— Notwithstanding this prudent course pursued by our Union convention of Baltimore county, the nominee of a convention , in the Third Congressional District of Maryland, Hon. H. Winter Davis, in accepting recently the nomination, declared himself, not only a compensated emancipationist, but also declared that he was in favor of agitating the slavery emancipation question in every part of Maryland, and that if elected to Congress he would vote for an appropriation of $10,000,000 to compensate those who were willing to accept compensation for their slave property. That the Hon. H. Winter Davis is a man of decided talent and ability in his peculiar sphere, second probably to no man in Maryland, no one will deny, but this is not the first time that this man of rare ability, this agitator, has led off in political matters, thereby injuring, and in fact nearly ruining the

cause in which he was engaged, and his defeat by the arch-traitor Henry May, in June, 1861, was attributable to his course upon the slavery question alone, to say nothing about the innumerable injuries previously inflicted upon the American party, whilst that party was in the ascendency in our State.
"The question of compensated emancipation, says the loyal nominee of the Third Congressional District of Maryland " must be agitated, and he signified his willingness in accepting the nomination on Friday night last to assist in agitating the matter, and we can only say for ourselves and for a very large majority of the loyal people of Baltimore county that we deteire none of this agitator's assistance in our political affairs here.— We stand here as Union men, loyal beyond question to every reasonable loyal mind, and we ask no man, we will permit no man to add to our catechism of loyalty, or to take

"Old Town" Wins All The Trophies
"OLD TOWN" IS BIG IN EVERYTHING
IN a popularity contest in one of our wide-awake evening papers, which closed recently, the winner among the Firemen was Mr. Michael O'Dea, of No. 6 Engine House, just across from the good Clothing House of "Moses Kahn of Old Town."
It is not surprising that anyone that is close to "Mose" would he a winner, for "Mose" has been No. 6 Engine House's good company for going on i$3 years and they've been the best of friends.
It was "Mose's" pep that put "ginger" into this neighborhood of "Old Town" and the "boys" of No. 6 Engine House were the first to catch it and for the last 20 years, when the gong for a general alarm was sounded, No. 6 was first t get there and always brought home the trophies.
"Mose" takes off his hat to Mr. Michael O'Dea.
It May Sound Like "Babbitt" Or Small Village Stuff But If You Play Your Old Ancestors Across The Palls A Suare Game, Yrou can't Beat Them At Anything. And "Mose" Says You Can Put That In Your Pipe And Smoke It.
