A song for the South.--From Ludden & Bates' Southern Music House, Savannah, Ga., we receive a splendid song and chorus entitled The Southern soldier boy, with words by Father Ryan and music by W. Ludden, which we can commend as a grand song that will be welcomed wherever the Southern soldier boys' memory is held dear. The poet priest's touching words are here set by a master hand to a tender melody, and fittingly dedicated to the Southern mothers whose soldier boys sleep in graves Unmarked by a name, unmarked by a stone, And only the voice of the wind maketh mo

Hayne, hearing of these courageous acts, ascertained the facts of the affair and wrote the following beautiful ode in commemoration thereof.

I shall endeavor to be as brief as may be consistent with a clear understanding of these facts, in view of the very partial and prejudiced account of them rendered by the army signal officer who, with unparalleled presumption, undertakes to criticise the movements of men-of-war engaged in a deadly struggle, and commanded by men who were competent for such commands before he was born. Commodore Foxhall A. Parker, of the U. S. Navy, who was distingu
