July 4th, Daily Citizen (Vicksburg, Mississippi)

            Two days bring about great changes.  The banner of the Union floats over Vicksburg.  Gen. Grant has “caught the rabbit;” He has dined in Vicksburg, and he did bring his dinner with him.  The “Citizen” lives to see it.  For the last time it appears on “Wall-paper.”  No more will it eulogize the luxury of mule-meat and fricassed kitten–urge Southern warriors to such diets never-more.  This is the last wall-paper edition, and is, excepting this note, from the types as we found them.  It will be valuable hereafter as a curiosity.
