To Our Soldiers.

Lo! q ',"Hrth l. on the country,
Aud We caGpnt break its hnllnoss,
Cannot aonud its aepths Of .lullnesa.-
Dullnc;s de.p. and dnrk. and heavy
pullness tina. will never tighten,
Till our Ecldier.boys come tilling
With their bright and manly faces
To illumine happy hearth -st"nes,
Having driven back the invader
And redeemed the States Confederate.
Then, oh ! thon we'll raise chorus
High and full md strong and iuyous,
and its burden shall be ever
"Glory to tho Southern Soldier"
But tho news! the now5 from EigeGeld!
Where, oh, tell US whero to lind it!
Can't re scare n lille scrap up
Out Of all the dalea and dingles
Fran Ssluds to Savannah p
Thi. we know: The good old district
Stands a. stood it ante Jelium--
Every hill ilrm-set and solid,
Every homestead calm and quict,
Every mntron Mt her duty.
Every maiden rresh in beauty.
Every farmer brisk and active,
Every darkcy up and ready
sowing wheat and digging tters-
Digging humping biz pcriatcrS.-
'Sinmons too aro juat in SEASON.
sinmon beer goes we'll With ta,ers--
And tleru's many kes iiyin'
For this pleasant rural beverage
Bcr'rage, MT like npple-,oady
Milking lis recipient noldy-
BeY'rsgc, heulthful, cool and hrac;ng,
Sp,.hy of u frosty morning;-
Very gcud 100 after dinner
With ginger nuts
Virgil left sumo lines unfinished
Why may not your correspondent:
Bat the news well, lot Us ponder:
Cot. GmrrIS leaves to. rIorrow
fur his Legion on the border.
Some recrulte are going with bin,
And he carries num'rou boxes-
Boxes, trunks, Nnd huudlct various,
For hiS brarc and trustY LEGION
And for uthor soldiers may he,
Ent We have not learned particulars.
With him 20 the war,uest wishes
OF thousand glowing hosoms,
For his safety and the LcSion's,
For tho wca! of every soldier
Edsefeid GLAZING along the border.
We've heard it limited that somo thirty
OF the rascal Yankee pris'ncrs
May be granted winter quarters
In old Edgefeld's rocky dungcons.
Certain, some 20 to Columbia-
Why not make fair distribution?
Let tho acnmps get bread and water
At the hapds they sought to ictter.
Wolves they would have been, If aIle,-
Let them Este their aavage stumachs
With reflections long and dreary,
Through the months Of hcary winter,
aafe iumured in csuntry pri.onS,
Well supplied with bread and water,
Bullluc!. broth aud turuip salad,-
And, to punish them completely,
Cut of oil suprlios Of ouions--
Gut off oil supplieI Of garlic
Keep them to the bread and water,
Bullock broth and turnip salal.
And now To tail off this spis,lo,
Let us toll you what did happen
Tother night to friend J.a b., our
Alusic-Teaeher, You remember,
aud very clover fellow
Just from Hamburg, ho won't over
From the Planters after supper,
Eat ar hnnr with Mr.. Hrpsoy
Talking over rurious matters.
But in leaving, by some hlnpde.,
como freak Of Imagination,
Jte went out through u: back door,
Over fruee, and. what Il splattor.
Intu we'll ten foes in water,
Down he fell but not quite under,
Caught hy rlsnkH and other lumber,
Which prevented such ducking
Az be otherwise had suffered.
"Hclp" was called, but long before it
Reached the place, j. B. wss nut Of
That coniuundvd chilly chamber,
High and dry 81. mother rs!ln..
How no hnpponsd un this venture,
30 one hus informed dcpcncut
And depooent Anoweth nothing
More about the cold empluusement.
Th;. rv'vo heard: when b. emerged,
And found himself all safe ana sOlid,
Ont he sung: of thnt can't hur. me,
Nothing can,-I'm u6 for Charleston,
Beaufort. Richmond, my where, 80
