The Black brigade at Port Hudson. by John A. Dorgan. Not fair, for they too long have borne The badge of shame, the lash of scorn; Not fair, for seamed with many a scar Their spirits like their bodies are; Nor learned in books, nor smooth in speech, Whom tyrants made it crime to teach; But strong of limb and true of heart, Behold them in their manhood smart For this their trial-day arrayed, The soldiers of the Black Brigade.

And on, and on, and on they tread; And all the field is heaped with dead, And slippery grows the grass with gore, But onward, onward, yet once more. In vain!
In vain!

He availed himself of the opportunity this afforded to ride up to the rebel works as close as he could, to get a good view of them, when he saw a regiment of the enemy throw down their arms, and heard them give three cheers and exclaim: We surrender.

Our officer replied in the negative, say
