really cannot be disguised, The thing is getting risky: Winchester, Donelson, Roanoke, Pea Ridge, Port Royal, Burnside's stroke At Newbern — by the Lord, I choke!” Jeff took a drink of whisky. “McClellan, too, and Yankee Foote; Grant, Hunter, Halleck, Farragut, With that accurst Fremont to boot;” (Right here he burst out swearing; And then, half-mad and three parts drunk, Down on his shaking knees he sunk, And prayed like any frightened monk, To ease his blank despairing.) He prayed: ”O migme of frightful need And perilous reverses; Therefore, sink every Federal boat, Let Stanton be with palsy smote, Make George McClellan cut his throat, And blast Old Abe with curses! ”Then, Satan, whilst we give thee thanks, Kill Shields, choke Halleck, poison Banks, And spread through all the Yankee ranks Terrific devastation! Let loose the plagues and pestilence, Stir up the Northern malcontents, And drive the invading mudsills hence, In utter consternation! ”By all the incense we ha

the United States. One of the criminal publications was styled, Letters from the army ; another, Root, Abe, or die; a third News from General Price. The commission found the prisoner guilty of the charges and specifications, and sentenced him to be placed and kept outside of the lines of the State of Missouri during the war, and that the press, types, furniture, and material of the printing-office of the Boone County Standard be confiscated and sold for the use of the United States. Gen. Halleck approved the finding and sentence, and directed the printing-office to remain in charge of the quartermaster until further orders; that the prisoner be placed outside the State of Missouri, and that if he returned during the war, without permission, that he be arrested and placed in close confinement in the Alton military prison. The proceedings being returned to the War Department, they were approved by the Secretary, and an order issued that the form of procedure should be adopted in l

he wide world through; That on the page of history, In deeds of valor done, Will e'en outvie the daring high Of honored Wellington. Fort Donelson was nobly earned, Pea Ridge was won full well; Of Pittsburgh Landing time would fail The glorious things to tell. These are the battles, not of boys, But men of iron will, Who swore to die or plant on high The Union banner still. And then the men who led them on To triumph in these days, For them, a people's gratitude, A nation's loudest praise! Halleck and Buell, Grant and Smith, Curtis and Sigel, all Whose battle-cry is, “Do or die!” Before your feet we fall! And oh! the One who spared their lives Amid the leaden hail, If we forget to honor him, We in our duty fail. 'Twas his right arm that led them on Through carnage and through death, His sleepless eye that, from on high, Beheld their fainting breath. “Up! up and at them once again, Ye sturdy men and bold: They have profaned my Sabbath-day, That I ordained of old.” 'Twas as a voi

air was red, his toes beneath Peeped, like an acorn from its sheath, While with a frightened voice he sung A burden strange to Yankee tongue, Skedaddle! He saw no household fire, where he Might warm his tod or hominy; Beyond the Cordilleras shone, And from his lips escaped a groan, Skedaddle! “Oh! stay,” a cullered pusson said, “An‘ on dis bosom res' your hed.!” The octoroon she winked her eye, But still he answered, with a sigh, Skedaddle! “Beware McClellan, Buell, and Banks, Beware of Halleck's deadly ranks!” This was the planter's last Good Night; The chap replied, far out of sight, Skedaddle! At break of day, as several boys From Maine, New-York and Illinois Were moving Southward, in the air They heard these accents of despair, Skedaddle! A chap was found, and at his side A bottle, showing how he died, Still grasping in his hand of ice That banner with the strange device, Skedaddle! There in the twilight, thick and grey, Considerably played out he lay; And through the v

y, and a firm spirit of devotion to the great cause in which we have enlisted. Unless these requisites develop themselves soon to a fitting extent, we fight in vain. Unless we have more clear indications that the great heart of the people is with us, our efforts will be futile. The government is impotent to retrieve the disasters that have befallen us, and that yet stare us in the face on every hand unless the people rally to its assistance. McClellan is already moving on the Potomac; Halleck's operations in the South-West are at every step successful against us. The Federal army and navy are already menacing the metropolis of the South-West and the key to our granaries. Florida is overrun by Northern invaders, while, wherever we look, we gaze on an advancing army. In this trying emergency the government appeals to the people — to the brave hearts and sturdy wills of the South. It cries: Awake! your hands have been put to the plough, and will you now look back and repent y

se their vigilance, I merely said that I had seen six, the number I had personally beheld. I guess they go the other way, he replied, thereby acknowledging they suffered much from desertion. Mr. Tennessee wanted to know why we did not make the attack; they were anxiously waiting for us, and confident of victory. I said that they could not be more eager for the battle or more sure of success, than ourselves; that to us every thing appeared to be ready, but we were not supposed to know General Halleck's plans. We talked together some fifteen minutes, both of us very wary about giving contraband information. He was a gentlemanly, well-educated man, apparently under thirty years of age, and from Maury County, Tennessee. I gave him the pictorial, and asked for a Memphis paper. He had none, but promised to send me over one, if he could procure it during the day. Before parting, I remarked that it would be well to make some agreement about picket-firing, and learned that they had re
