FAREWELL TO YANKEE DOODLE.

-141E.---------
TO YANKEE DOODLE
Yankee Doodle, fare you well,
Rice and cotton flount you;
Once they liked you very we'll,
But now they'll do without you.
Yankee Doodle used to treat
Old Pompey as neighbor.
Tie din,t r7aS his bread and meat,
Nor cavil at his la Dor.
But Doodle now has got SO keen
For every dirty shilling,
Propose job, however mean,
And Yankee Doodle's willing.
Doodle, TOO, has had the luck
To get new religion
A kind of holy zeal to pluck
at every body's pigeon.
Doodle. morbid conscience strains
With Puritanic vigor,
To loose the only friendly chains
That ever bound Higger.
Yet, Doodle knows as well as T.,
That when he's come and freed 'em,
He'd see 4 million niggers die
Before he'd helpsto feed 'em.
Yankee Doodle sent us down
A gallant missionary
His name was Captain Johnny 3 rown,
The Priest of Harper's Ferry.
With pixies ne tried to magnify
The Gospel creed of Beecher,
But Old Virginia lifted high
This military preacher.
Yet, glory to his name is sung,
as if with sin untainied;
The bloody wretch By justice hung,
BY bigotry is ssinted.
Yankee Doodle, now goodbye
We spurn thing SO rotten,
Proud Independence is the cry,
OF Sugar, Rice, and Cotton.

DIovemepts OF Pres,dent Dnv,s

A dispatch to the New York EcsaiHg Post
states that JEFF. Davis, at the head of the
Confederate army, is within twenty -four
hours march of Washington. At what par
ticulsr place, or upon what particular route
he is to be found, within twenty four hours
march Of Washington, is not disclosed !;
which gives IN aspect of indefiniteness to the
report damaging to its credibility.
If by twenty four hours, is meant day,
the distance he is from Washington is
twenty or twenty-five miles; but so close a
proximity is not probable; otherwise some
more definite Information would have been
received. If the distance which he might
overcome in twenty.four hours travel, by
railway is intended, the story may be true
but the fact is not very alarming.
The size oftbe Confederate Army" is not
given. If it is within days march of
Washington, it can not be very large, for
even with the assistance OF the Southern
railway, Davis has not, probably, had the
means TO move an extensive body of troops
so far in so short a time.
Washington is rapidly getting into a con-
dition in " Which the particular distance which
Mr.. JEFF Davis may be from it is not of much
consequence. Unless it becomes necessary
to subdue Baltimore in order to clear a
passage through Maryland, few hours will
place troops enough in Washington to ren
der it impregnable to the whole Confederate
A!my-W igfall included.

The scenes Around Ua.

There will hereafter for one generation at
least, be little question of the willingness of
the people of the North to go to war, when
tver their country shall demand their serv.
ices. The North is not, it is true, nation
of soldiers. Its people have, perhaps, no Pc
culiar natural aptitude for the military pro-
fession; but no one who witnesses the scenes
that are transpiring every day in this city,
will fail to arrive at the conclusion that
whenever an emergency arrives which de-
mands their services in the field, they will
fnd the pluck to meet it in an appropriate
manner.
If the South ever expected-as is said to
be the case-to find US o cowardly people,
they have now an opportunity to correct
their error. If they counted upon our pusil-
lanimity as an element in their prospects of
success, in the strife which they are begin
ming, they have reckoned without their host
If they gave credit to the declarations OF
some of our politicians, that we were
too much divided in sentiment to be able to
make headway against them, when they
should come to invade US, they will find
themselves constrained to change their
opinions.
Northern sentiment is now most distinctly
and unanimously to sustain the Government.
The fact that the moment the Government
proclaimed its need of men, the question was
rather who should stay at home than who
should 60, is sufficient TO negative all the
presumptions that might have arisen from
their impassiveness before the way was open
to strike blow for their country.
The Presidents Proclamation was like the
progress of the fiery cross upon the hills Of
Scotland-like the peal of trumpet over a
camp at midnight, calling to arms. Soldiers
spIaDg from every quarter. From state of
apparent apathy and repose, the people
passed to one of intense enthusiasm. Such
alacrity to enlist, and such liberality to con-
tribute, has not often been witnessed in the
history of mankind; and we may feel conf
dent in making the assertion that the old
fighting spirit of the race is as vigorous as
ever
Cincinnati daily press. [volume] (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1860-1862, 1861-04-20

We were about to say that some system
attic provision should be made for the wives
and children Of those who have enliste and
gone 10 fght the battles Of their country.
But the difficulty with systematic, that is to
say, with public or institutional benevolence
is, that II enures TO the benefit o. the least
worthy and least necessitous. The deserv-
ing are reluctant to let their wants be known,
or to appear as the recipients of public
charity. They suffer in silence, while the
undeserving clsmor and are satisfied.
There are many who would not have en-
listed but for the pressure Of want oocasioned
by the absence of employment. They have
gone in the hope TO earn something for the
support Of their Misunderstanding, at the
same time, those families in greater or less
degree of destitution. While men Of means
are so liberal in subscribing funds TO carry
on the war, they should not forget the help
less ones at home. Committees, probably in
each ward, should examine into this matter.
Ladies' who wish they were men, that they
might go forth and fight for the cause, can
do service equally noble in cheering the
hearts and satisfying the wants of the
soldiers family at home.
What soldier would not fight better, and
entertain feelings of more intense devotion
to his country, if he was assured that the
sympathy of his fellow-citizens, instead of
sxpendipg itself in mere words of applause
and encouragement was manifesting itself
in acts of kindness toward those whom he
loves.
We therefore enter this brief but heartfelt
plea for the soldiers family. There are
thousand waysin which good can be done
at little expense to the doer. A deserving
woman, struggling for the means to sustain
life, may be temporarily relieved of the bur
den of child, whose food and clothing in a
large household would not be felt, Let peo.
pie not be afraid 10 take on youngster or
two not their own. Employment may often
be directed toward this class of the needy;
and the eye of the really benevolent even if
they have nothing to give, is a sort of Prov
idence.
The times are very hard now in respect to
female employment. Our Hebrew fellow
citizens who, in their clothing manufacture,
furnish so many industrious women with
the means of subsistence, are doing little or
nothing in comparison with what they
usually do at this season of the year. There
is really great deal of want now in this
city, and persons who heretofore, in the
worst of times, have kept their courage, are
feeling gloomy enough at the prospect be-
fore them.
In the South, some chivalrous females are
said to be banded and preparing for fame in
the tented field; and we hereby suggest to
the chivalrous females of this city, an
equally noble and patriotic, and at the same
time far more feminine form of public
snrvica

nhin Troops Copntermnndsd.

It appears that Governor Dennison has
stopped the progress of the Ohio troops at
Pittsburg, and contemplates bringing them
to this city. Of the reasons that induced
him to adopt this measure, we have no
knowledge. The attitude which Kentucky
has assumed has quieted apprehensions Of
any immediate attack upon this city from
that quarter; while the enormous enlist
ments that have taken place here have fur
nished us with abundance Of the ingredients
for armies. The thing we want most is dis.
cipline, organization and material-tents,
guns, tools, SC. The boys, whose blood is
up for brush at the enemy, will be disap-
pointed; but until we know more of the in
ducement, we will not question the pro.
pliety of the proceeding.
Cincinnati daily press. [volume] (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1860-1862, 1861-04-20
The Position Assumed by Kentucky.

We Print in another place the resolutions
adopted by meeting of the citizens of
Louisville, called to consider the present
crisis, and TO determine the position which
Kentucky is 10 assume in the controversy
between the Union and the Confederate
Government. The meeting was large, the
names of several of the ablest men of the
State and city appear in its proceedings; and
it is probable that its doings will have con-
siderable weight in molding the opinions
and shaping the conduct of the people.
The question was not so much what Ken
tucky ought, as what she is able to do. AS a
n ember of the American Union her consti-
tutional duty is undoubtedly to stand by its
Goyernment-to forget, in short, that she is a
State, in the paramount recollection that she
is part of nation whose existence is
threatened by the rebellion of some Of its
constitutional members.
But divided as her people, and even her
leading men are in their views and proclivi-
ties, the performance of her whole constitu-
tional dnty was not to be expected; and il
is probable that the compromise which the
resolutions represent is as good a one al
under the circumstances could have been de.
Vised or expected. How long it will stand,
or how practically effective it will prove, is
another question.
IfKentucky shall fully observe the course
marked out in these resolutions, there will
be small cause to complain. The proceeding
of the meeting have given general satisfac.
tion here for nothing could be more abhor.
rent to the feelings of the people of Ohio,
and of Southern Ohio especially, than the
prospect of war with neighbors to whom
they are attached by so many ties Of interest,
fellowship, and consanguinity. We see in
them disposition to avoid that worst species
Of strife, a war between old friends and
neighbors, and are grateful accordingly.
That there will yet be attempts to nullify
these pacific sentiments, and precipitate
Kentucky into Secession and all its conse.
quences, is to be apprehendei. Kentucky
has large share of the turbulent element,
and there will not be wanting demagogues
to stir ii into activity. There will be need Of
considerable vigilance to keep this element
In check and how far the head of her Gov
ernment viii feel called upon to exert his
power 70 that end, Is a question which time
perhaps alone can decide.

Those Arms.

It seems obvious that the best use to
which the Arkansas arms could be put
would be TO place them in the hands of our
citizen soldiery. There is little likelihood
thstthey will lever reach theplaces ofconsign-
ment. We are little short of these arti-
cles he1eabouts, and as self.preservation is
Natures first law, and they may be needed
for that purpose, perhaps they had better be
put where they can be made available. The
City Council is, probably, for the sake of
regularity, the party that should take action
in the premises. .r
