Young America.

o, pray tell me, Young America,
u Is Ii true what hear:
That you are arming for tho war,
With gun, with sword, and spear;
That you're rising In your giant strength
Your arms keen and bright,
And the motto on your starry flag
Is, God is with the righn
The noble eagle as II flew
Across the Southern sky,
Did not see the stripes and stars,
And wondered the reason why.
TIL G sunny South all to n man
Is marching to the fght
Under the "palmotto M d rattlesnako"--
They think that they are right.
A Washincton--a Jackson
Our csuntry's boast aud pride!
For It's nlg you often fought
And for II wsuld have diod,
But your noble actions by the North.
Once more with armor bright
Thy stars and stripes they are uniurled
To direct them in the fight.
Young America. proud and strong,
Has never bowed the knee
To any King or Potentate;
No, that will never he.
King Cotton ho must be subduod;
His laws they are not right;
Young America with her loyal hoarts
Is arming Tor the tight.
Victoryl victary!--Young America,
Go ON with courage bold;
Let "Union" be the battle cry;
Tho stars and stripes untold.
Yankee Doodle and tho stars
Must go over South all right
Scforc nur Young America
VIII ever cease Ia hght.

N o I S o.

The following paragraph is extracted from an
article in the Cincinnati Enquirer of the 18th inst
| From the dispatch it appears that the Southern
Army commenced the attack upon Fort Sumter,
and before any hostile demonstration had been
upon them. They broke the status qtO which has
so long prevailed, and upon them clearly rests the
| immediate responsibility for the bloody strife
which has been naugurated They are the ag-
gressors in first breaking the peace, and Will re
Ceive the indignant condemnation OF every patriot
| The 0n1tS of fault they cannot shake OIL.
| The above is incorrect-wholly at variance with
the facts of the case-as the telegraph column of
the Enquirer of the same date, conclusi7ey proves
| On the Sth instant, Gen. Bcaurcgard telegraphed
the Secretary of War at Montgomery that . An
authorized messenger from President Lincoln has
Just informed Gov. pckens and myself that pro-
visions will be sent to Fort Sumter peaceably, or
otte1cise by force"
This was equivalent to declaration of war; and
no men are more fully apprised of the fact than
the intelligent editors of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Why then, should they seek to cast blame upon the
| innocent Confederate Government. to eXculpate
the guilty Abolition Government, by perverting
truth and misstating history?
The Confederate Government knew that Lincoln
was fitting out strong armed expedition against
Charleston. They knew that his ships were on the
way thher, and yet four days elapsed before
Gen. Beauregard opened his batteries, after he
had received official information direct from Lin
coin that he was determined to go ahead peaceably
or forcibly Who, then, broke the status quo Lin
coin and nobody but Lincoln
And yet, the Cincinnati Enquirer, usually an
honest paper, would throw blame upon us, How
| UNFAIR unjust and untrue.
| Notwithstanding all this misrepresentation, we
| are prepared for any sponsblity the present
| and future may have in store for us, even to the
| EXTREMIST extreme of carnage and desoaton. We
| have made up our minds calculated all the
chances-and will go ahead-for we know
