Hurrahl boys, hurrahl stop ratching and rafting,
And rally in defence of the sold North State"

Hurrahi boys, hurrah! arise and be marching,
Onward to battle, onward to glory,
Remember your mothers your sisters your sweehearts
Then Liberty Dea.h," let your motto be-
Then away, boys, away, tits time to be standing,
Buckle your armor, take up your rifles,
With firm hearts and trne, declare you're determined
Never to tyrant to bow the knee.
Ere the hirelngs of Lincoln, step your border.
Don't let them come to you, but onward TO meet them
And take on your journey, shot, powder and shell.
Then away, boys away and blessings 60 with you,
May God in his mercy and justice protect you;
Then hasten away, and return when wars
To the dear at home, who love you so well.
Then three cheers boys, three cheers for the new
Southern Union,
For jefferson Davis and all of our rulersl
May the flag that waves Ger our Southern Re-

Never fall, but forever continue to wave!

For those who left home and friends protect

jim LANE TURNED OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
1t will be rccollected that Jim Lane, and his
band, were chosen by "Old Abe as a special body
guard, and quarters were ASST ened them in the
White House. Of course they became disorderly
and much bad whiskey drunk and a large de-
coction of "nigger-head' tobacco juice squlrted
upon the carpets and wallis Old A be himself free
ly participating. Mrs. Lincoln being opposed to
such duings told Abraham, as the story goes, that
it guard was necessary, he should ges gentlemen
around him, and if he did not order those rufians
off, she would have it done herself; and moreover
sooner than have them around her, if guard was
necessary she would prefer standing sentinel her
self Jim Lane has accordingly been dismissed
from the position of special body guard to the
President.
We have the above facts from a gentleman in
every way relable.-4terandria Sentinel.

Pending the war between the North and South
ana the blockade OF Southern ports many articles
for family use which came fl ON the North former

For such articles North Carolina and the Southern
States, had expended millions annually, which

rich enough by cur commerce generally. Now,
the State surely ht to be able feed her popu-

cities. Our farmers everywhere, more especially III
the mountains, must improve their husbandry and
their stock, aud increase the quantity of produce
for all Of which they will be certain to obtain
good prices. Let the farmers and their good wives
begin the business once for the demand is great

son propitious to enter upon the good work. Our
Mountain region is now reached by Rail- and it
ought to supply the seaboard cities with all the

Butter when taken from the churn should not be
washed in water, drop of water couch it,

should be made of post or white oak (red oak is

be made to hold 20, So 100 pounds or any con-
