An Heroic Ode ON Is the Battle of
GreytOwn."

GreytOwu."
ny A. BALLoU.
Written for the Providence Journal
THE INVOCATION.
Ye muses. of the ancient bards attend
Celestial Clio, strike my slumbering Tyre
Majestic Calliope, deigp to lend
Twenty five cents worth of poetic fire.
Not like the fogie bards of olden time
sing of seges and protracted wars
A liyelier theme calls forth my humble rhyme;
Assist me MUSES. in a nobler cause
THE BATTLE.
All the atmosphere grew dark
Yelled the sun his useless splendor,
As the Cyane-gallant bark,
Manned with Yankees to defend her,
On sultry summers day.
Furled her sails, and reefed her spanker,
And in Greytown's noble bay
Quickly dropped her heavy anchor.
When the tidings reached the town,
All the motley population
Negroes, monkeys, gathered round,
thled with awe and admiration.
Then, as on the walls Of Troy
Leaped adventurous Ulysses,
Fen as Priam--nobe boy
Shouldered corpulent Anchises,
Even so brave Captain Hollins
Acted with immense decision
landed on that fearful shore
And proclaimed his vengeful mission
Men of Greytown black and white.
Listen to this proclamation
You have acted impolite,
You have 'sassed our mighty nation
Base Mosquitoes, you have done
Mr.. Borland vile dishouor
Bottles at his head you've thrown
For those deeds your towns a goner'
"Damagss I've fixed as follows
My demand is mild and civil;
Pay me twenty thousand dollars
Or III blow you to the-ROORp
Reckless of the danger nigh,
Yankee Doodle's power detying,
Back they sent a bold reply,
His polite request denying.
Clear the decks! fierce Hollins cried,
They've refused all satisfaction;
Scatter bombshells far and wide!
Pipe all hands, prepare for action!"
Then Columbia's gallant tars
Goriousy commenced the battle
Blazed away like sons of Mars!
How they made the shanties rattle!
Meanwhile, Greytown's timid sons:
Ere the sounds of strife grew louder,
Little pleased with sounds of guns,
Liking not the smell of powder,
Sooner than gun was fired,
Wisely making no resistance,
To safe retreat retired,
Feeling better at u distance.
Proudly fought our gallant men
For the honor of the nation,
Fought till they were tired, and then
Ceased the work of desolation.
Then on shore that valiant crew
Gazed around in silent wonder
All astonished =" not fewn
They had wasted all that thunder!
Not shrek dying groan-
Not vanquished army flying
Naught but that Inflated town
In mass of ruin lying.
Loud their chieftain cheered them on:
'Onwardi and the towns our own boysi
Now the enemy is gone,
We can fight it out alone, boys"
Brightly flashed the blazing brand,
Ger the scene wild glare nnging
While from out that conquerng band
Shouts of victory loud were ringing.
Shout an anthem of the free!
How our nations pride it rousesl
We have gained victory!
Smashed a lot of vacant houses!

From California.

NEw ORLEANS, Dec. l4.-The steamship
Prometheus, before reported below this city,
arrived up to-day. Our files of California pa
pers contain very little intelligence of general
interest. The mining news continues fayora-
BILE, though the miners were, in some localities
greatly in want Of water, and were anxiously
expecting rain, of which less than the average
quantity has fallen thus far in the season.
The Daniel Webster, Of the Nicaragua line
OF California steamers, sailed from this port
this morning.
The advices from San Juan represent the
revolution in Nicaragua as still in progress,
bGt We do not learn chat either party has set
achieved; any decided advantage.
The British sloop Of war Yestal and the
steam frigatc Termagant were at Greytown.
Advices from Oregon state that the numer-
Gus and powerful tribe of Indians called
.sSnakes'' had commenced war upon the whites,
and slaughtered whole train Of immigrants.
The commercial advices from San Francisco
represent affairs in about the same condition
as at the state of our previous advice. 1t was
not anticipated that there would be any mate
rial change for the better until the commence
ment of the new year.

OUR RAILROAD

We call the attention Of our readers to the
letter of Mr. MONTGOMERY, the Engineer who
recently surveyed the proposed route for the
Tyrone and Erie Railroad, which will be found
in another column. We coincide with him
fully in the Importance of fhe meeting adver-
tised to be held in Tyrone City, on the 1lth of
January, and hope that every friend of the
road viii endeavor to be present on that occa-
sion.
We have repeatedly urged those Interested
in the success of this great enterprise, to ac-
tivity and energy, as without labor nothing
can be accomplished. The time has now ar
rived for ,eorh, and We hope that this meeting
may be but the precursor OF determined and
energetic effort on the part of all the friends
of the road.
That the route is not only favorable, but the
very best for the construction of a road over
the Allegheny Mountains, has been plainly
and satisfactorily demonstrated by the recent
survey, and report of the Engineer. Its util-
ity, as the great connecting link between
Philadelphia and the Lakes, is also as clearly
proven, aud nothing therefore, remains to
secure the success of the enterprise, but ener-
gy and perseverance on the part of its friends.
Clearfeld is deeply interested in the construc
tion of the road, LET her be well represented
at the meeting in Tyrone, Strike the iron,
while it's hot.
