18. Anglo-Saxon whittling song. Your Yankee is always to be found with a jack-knife, and when he has nothing else to do, is eternally whittling.--Growling old traveller. In the olden time of England, the days of Norman pride, The mail-clad chieftain buckled on his broad-sword at his side, And, mounted on his trusty steed, from land to land he strayed, And ever as he wandered on, he whittled with his blade. Oh! those dreamy days of whittling! He was out in search of monsters — of giants ed their little freight, They put their Sunday coats on, and whittled out a State; They cut it round so perfectly, they whittled it so “true,” That it still stands in beauty for all the world to view. Oh! those grand old days of whittling! When England sent her hirelings, with cannon, gun, and blade, To break and batter down the State which these good men had made, The people seized for weapons whatever came to hand, And whittled these intruders back, and drove them from the land. Oh! heroic <

We raised the shout for Gigmanity. We affirmed that Slavery itself, not the Person who suffered the death of the slave, was the corner-stone of the universe. These are our watchwords. In this cause, and not, as some foolish friends of ours represent, to vindicate our right to hire our servants for life, we have drawn the sword and flung away the scabbard. H. (much affected)--Brave and noble men! Champions of our interests as well as your own! You have not been exactly the friends of England, but we feel that we may embrace you as ours. Let us join solemnly in drinking the toast. The Cause of Gigmanity and Slavery, civil and religious, all the world over. [Hip, hip, hurrah, and exeunt.] F. D. M. Rev. F. D.

is war a war to the knife, when no quarter will be asked or granted. I believe it is the only thing which can prevent recruiting at the North. As to ourselves, I think that very few will not admit that death is preferable to dishonor and ruin. Our great misfortune is, that we have always relied on foreign intervention and peace in sixty days. No nation will ever intervene until it is seen that we can maintain alone our independence; that is, until we can no longer require assistance. England is afraid to admit that she cannot do without our cotton, for then she would virtually be in our power. France is unwilling to interfere, for fear of the treachery of the latter. She always remembers her as la perfide Albion. But if France concludes to take Mexico, she will require the alliance of the Southern Confederacy to protect her from Northern aggression. Nations as well — as individuals always consult their own interests in any alliance they may form. Hence, our best reliance

Josiah Vavasseur & Co., of London, take credit to themselves, of course through the columns of the London Times, for providing the steel shot for the rebels by which the Keokuk was sunk. A statement published in England to the effect that practical artillerists have not been using spherical steel shot put this house of Vavasseur & Co. upon its defence, and as a proof that artillerists do use such implements of war, they say they have reason to believe that the same shot made by us (Vavasseur & Co.) were used by the confederates in the first attack of the monitors upon Charleston, in which action the Keokuk was so severely handled. Vavasseur & Co., like good neutral Englishmen as they are, rather pride themselves on the efficient aid thus rendered to the rebels.

79. Don't meddle with the Yankees, John Bull. by James S. Watkins. Written while the fever ran high on recognition by England and France, during the first year of the unnatural war, and inscribed to the English secessionists of to-day. Don't meddle with the Yankees, John Bull, They'll “teach you a thing, now, or two;” Don't meddle with the Yankees, John Bull, Don't meddle, whatever you do! They are ten times as strong, Johnny Bull, And a hundred more daring to kill, Than, when in their weakness, John Bull, Your “hirelings” besieged Bunker Hill. Don't meddle with the Yankees, John Bull, They've Freedom and Liberty's might; Don't meddle with the Yankees, John Bull, Or else you may force them to fight. And then, when in their strength, John Bull, They cross the St. Lawrence, “mi boy,” Look out to be served, Johnny Bull, As you treated the captured Sepoy. The Yankees don't boast, Johnny Bull, They but speak out their mind as it is; Then I pray you don't meddle, John Bull, For
