Our enemies have better oil cloths than we. Another says: "Give a rebel a of water and a pocket-full of crackers, and he's ready for a week's campaign!" The Terrors of bombardment. The Yanks have been bombarding Vicksburg ever since the 22d of May, and have discharged over 20,000 shot and shell at that town. Up to the 4th of July they had killed six men and one woman, and a correspondent of the Memphis Appeal says: The city has suffered considerably from the constant rain of shot and shell that have been poured upon it, though the actual damage in dollars and cents is comparatively small.

Cornwallis did something of the kind in South Carolina. There have been at least fifty histories of that period written by Yankees, and in every one of them Cornwallis is denounced as a monster of cruelty for this very thing.
