9. to the men of the North and West. Men of the North and West, Wake in your might, Prepare, as the Rebels have done, For the fight; You cannot shrink from the test, Rise! Men of the North and West! They have torn down your banner of stars; They have trampled the laws; They have stifled the freedom they hate, For no cause! Do you love it, or slavery best? Speak! Men of the North and West. They strike at the life of the State-- Shall the murder be done? They cry, “We are two!” And you? “We are one!” You must meet them, then, breast to breast, On! Men of the North and West! Not with words; they laugh them to scorn, And tears they despise; But with swords in your hands, and death In your eyes! Strike home! leave to God all the rest, Strike! Men of the North and West! R. H. Stoddard. New York, April 17, 1861. --Evening Post, A

boasts a son, Davis, the second Washington, Know that Virginia, now by thee, Will battle for her liberty; Her sons, beneath thy flag unfurled, Will hurl defiance to the world; And, fighting hand in hand with thee, Will conquer, to be doubly free. Honor to glorious Wise, the fearless and the bold, Who dared to tell a nation the truth, that should be told; But unto Carolina be the glory evermore, For she hath done a bolder deed than e'er was done before. Aye, clothe her name with glory bright-- Around it throw a radiant light; For, oh! it is a glorious sight, This nation rising in the right; And Carolina well may claim The greatest, most unsullied name-- Brave, and magnanimous, and pure, Her fame will e'er remain, her power endure. Honor to them all — to each brave and gallant heart That manfully and earnestly will strive to do his part; But be the glory given, as to Carolina due, The noblest, and the bravest, the truest of the true.

Benjamin: Sir:--Your letter of the 9th has been received, and I wish you and Mr. Mallory to distinctly understand that I hold no conference with traitors. The banner stamped upon this slip of paper is my adoration; it has real beauty; God bless it now and forever; and curses upon him who tramples upon it in the absence of manliness to protect it. I am and have been since last October the husband of a Saco lady. * * * * * I was born il South Carolina, but, thank God, left i
