Our banner shall proudly wave, Or we, who fight for the sunny South, Will sleep in the honor'd grave. Now let us be faithful, bold, and true, And Heaven will bless us still; And so good-bye to our homes and friends, And Natchez on the Hill. --Natchez Free Trader. 38. Southrons. The following stirring verses, which we copy from a Southern exchange, are from the patriotic pen of a lady of Kentucky, who has achieved a national reputation as a poetess and authoress.--Louisville Courier, June 22. You can never win them back-- Never! never! Though they perish on the track Of your endeavor; Though their corses strew the earth That smiled upon their birth, And blood pollutes each hearth- Stone forever! They have risen to a man, Stern and fearless; Of your curses and your ban They are careless. Every hand is on its knife, Every gun is primed for strife, Every Palm contains a life High and peerless! You have no such blood as theirs For the shedding: In the veins of cavaliers Was it

This is the picture of a Southerner who abuses the North: He toils not, neither does he spin. Swaddled at birth in a Northern blanket, cutting his teeth on a Northern gum-ring, solacing his sweet tooth on Northern candies, learning his letters from a Northern book, educated at a Northern college, learning his gentility and acquiring all his refinements in Northern social circles — he still looks upon the North as a foreign country, a region altogether plebeian and uncivilized, because it has neither cotton nor niggers.--Boston Saturday Gazette, June 22.

ts ranks! The muster-roll, bearing the names of the spirited young vivandiers, has been sent to Headquarters, and the company accepted by the powers that be. Since that day four flag raisings have come off in that portion of Kane county, and mary and May --the soldier girls — in uniforms of white, red, and blue, have attended all of them, at the request of the officers, marching as pioneers at the head of their company. The captain says he could not get along without them, and after the flag has been sent up, he allows them to fire each three guns in honor of the Union, the Stars, and Stripes. Whether he will deprive the place of the valuable services of a good teacher, and a lover of a pretty sweet-heart, by carrying his Joan of Arc to the wars with him, remains yet to be seen. Much of the success of the recruiting service, and the patriotic fire burning now in old Kane, is attributed to the gallant conduct and bright eyes of these young ladies.--Easton (Pa.) Express, June 22.

Anecdote of Phillippa.--Among the troops in Western Virginia, stories about the Phillippa affair still form a staple of conversation. Here is one of the best:--A certain Indiana company, almost worn out with march, was straggling along with very little regard to order. Hurrying up to his men, the captain shouted, Close up, boys! d — n you, close up! If the enemy were to fire on you when you're straggling along that way, they couldn't hit a d — d one of you! Close up! And the boys closed up immediately.--Buffalo Express, June 22

Mr. Benjamin Franklin, New Orleans, Louisiana. Enclose the letter in another envelope, with twenty cents' worth of United States Government stamps, and direct as follows: American letter Express Co. Louisville, Kentucky. This must be paid with one or two three-cent stamps, according to weight. The twenty cents' worth of postage stamps pays ten cents to the Express Company for their trouble, and enables them to pay the bogus Confederacy postage, which is ten cents from Louisville to New Orleans, the distance being over five hundred miles; but if the letter is intended for a point distant from Louisville less than five hundred miles, then the Confederacy postage will be but five cents. It is understood that this arrangement has been entered into with the knowledge and consent of Postmaster-General Blair, and, if properly carried out, as we have no doubt it will be, must prove a great benefit to the people of both sections of the Union.--Buffalo Express, June 22.
