s well drenched with gore. Thy blood-stained banners, how they wave O'er Zollicoffer's men and grave! O'er Donelson, and Henry too, The tri-colored red, white, and blue To every breeze is wide unfurled, Declaring victory to the world. Clarksville has fallen-Roanoke Has yielded to the mighty stroke; And Richmond, Treason's central grounds, Is suffering from her sister's wounds. Her pulse is sluggish, stagnant, slow, And when the coming potent blow Is struck, she'll stagger, reel and fall, And Davis with it, treason, all. Then where's that fancied paradise, Those fields luxuriant, cotton, rice; Those verdant lawns; elysian plains; Embowered shrines; pierian strains; That constitution, moulded in time, To suit the South and Southern clime; Those petticoated belles and maids, Who scoff to shame the Yankee trades; And all that fancy-gilded scheme, The South-Carolinian's golden dream?

March 27.--Rev. J. Graves, editor of the Tennessee Baptist, lately published at Nashville, has published a card, in which he informs his patrons that i owing to the sudden and unexpected fall of Nashville, he was unable to move any of his presses, type, or paper, and that the publication of the Baptist will be suspended for the present — probably till the termination of the war. Mr. Graves, who announces his purpose of entering the military service, proposes to raise a legion, battalion, or company of pikemen, or lancers, so soon as President Davis announces that such will be received into the confederate service.

The Richmond Examiner has found a black Union man in that city, of which the editor speaks as follows: Allen, slave of Richard Whitfield, was yesterday arrested by officer Chalkley, of the city police, on the charge of having proclaimed that Jeff. Davis was a rebel, and that he (Allen) acknowledged no man as his master. This fellow should be whipped every day until he confesses what white man put these notions in his head.

Pun-Gent.--Nowadays our citizens are often regaled with military witticisms. The following will rank as a good specimen: A regiment of Feds marching through the city is surrounded and followed by a bevy of immoderately patriotic boys, (though otherwise too harmless and amiable to attend Sabbath-school,) when the least modest of them, having heard of South-Carolina, and a few incidents in her modern history, sings out in the midst of a group of mounted officers: Hurrah for Jeff. Davis! Nearest officer, having no very pleasant sensations aroused, by this vociferation, exclaims to the urchin, not altogether good-humoredly: Hurrah for the devil, sir! He! He! He! exploded the youngster, well, hurrah for yer own side, and I'll holler for mine! Hero vanished amid a shower of unsuppressed military smiles, of the audible kind; and is soon unconscious of everything but his recompense for crying: Here's the Nashville Patriot--only five cents! Nashville (Tenn.) Patriot, March 15.
