From there persons I get inteitigenee of the most inieresting character in reference to the political and agricultwral condition of the States from which they eame. « As soon as the surrender of Vicksburg be- bame generally known throughout the States spoken of, 2 peace feeling began to develope uself in all directions. Persons who for whe past two years have been compelled to hold theirown counsel, now speak out their feel- ings, and their enthusiastic desire to have the “old flag” wave overthem perfectly astonishes even the most forward movers in the Union cause, “Within the past week Union leagues have been Sormed in several counties in Mississippi. Where there is no rebel army—where the people can give & free expression to their feelings, there the cause of ihe Union is comparatively stroag, and. its adherents are more numerous than in those parts of the State where the army has been. encamped. Ata secret meeting held in one of the most populons towns in the State of Missis- | Sippi, a resolution was unanimously passed to the effect that, in the event of peace, each mem- ber then present would use his influence in having a law pass Congress taxing every per- t son hving im the Confederate States one-halr his or her income to pay the publicdebt.
