5. Jeff Davis's prayer. by Clarence Butler. Bowed down with grievous cares of state, (For things weren't going very straight,) There sat that awful potentate King Jeff, the great secesher; He looked exceedingly forlorn, Harassed and vexed, annoyed and worn; 'Twas plain his office didn't return Much profit or much pleasure. Says Jeff (he thus soliloquized:) ”This isn't quite as I surmised; It 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 mighty Lucifer! Than whom of all that are or were There is no spirit worthier To be our lord and ma

22. the men of the West. by Richard Coe. Men of the West, with stalwart arms, And souls to nature true, Have won the victories of the day, That ring the 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 th

That the writer was an indifferent poet and an illiterate and blasphemous man, there can be but one opinion among those who scan the writing on the walls. On Purcell, Ladd & Co.'s east wall: On Yorktown's walls the cry is still they come. Change your bells into cannon, and charge with confederate 5‘s. Southern Lexicon covered with glory: Pinks of chivalry. The Lord is on our side, but, in consequence of pressing engagements elsewhere, could not attend at Pea Ridge, Donelson, etc., etc. He will also be prevented from visiting the chosen pinks at Yorktown. Southern hearts are beating low; Manassas boasters shun the foe; Stars and Stripes shall wave again; Northerners tread this ebon main. On E. B. Spence & Co.'s west wall: Something new under the sun, to wit: Petticoat Gunboats. Nationals! unfurl your banners over Yorktown walls. On the Powhatan House south wall: Southern boasters grasp the dust, In the Lord you vainly trust, For the

et me half-way. All right ; and arming myself with a newspaper, profusely illustrated with pictures incidental to the capture of New-Orleans, I started out. A rebel surgeon of the Third Tennessee was the individual who met me. He was dressed in a citizen's suit of black, with military buttons, and the rank of captain designated, not by shoulder-straps, but by marks on the collar. After shaking hands and exchanging the customary salutations, we proceeded to talk about the war. He was at Fort Donelson, and made his escape the night before the surrender. Spoke of the battle of Shiloh, at which he assisted; said it was their intention to have made the attack on Saturday instead of Sunday, but on account of a misunderstanding between their generals the plan failed. The number of deserters from his side appeared to have a prominent place in his mind, which he vainly endeavored to conceal. Do you have many deserters from your ranks? he commenced. I told him of only two cases which had
