Oh, oh, oh, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Time Of retribution is . coming,
For With shot and shell we viii give the reb'

Or we will drive them from this happy land
Of Canaan.
Colonel Deitzler of the First, how he the rebels
curs't,
When he thought Of the prison at Leeompton
For vengeance we have burned, and the tables

And we'll drive them from this happy land Of
Canaan. glszl ri IS. s s
Of Mitchell, Blair, and Cloud we all Of us feel
5I proud, gaTaG 4g 5s&5
Of their gallant and soldierly bearing,
By such officers to be led we will fight until

Or drive rebels from this happy LAND Of Canaan.
On the gallant little Second the secesh hadn't
reckoned 30, ',4os ,,
When we met them On the creek near to Spring

some thing - s
And drove them from this happy land Of Canaan.
At Wilson's creek so nice were McCullock, Rains
and Price
With thirty thousand rebels there to back 'em
And at about sunrise we took them by surprise
And whaled them in this happy land of Canaan.
General Lyon was on hand with his gallant lit
tie band, aa' 5@5
And opened fire most CALLING,
Which struck them with disgust and many bit
the dust
While fighting in this happy land of Canaan.
The gallant Kansas First then suffered much the
worst,
While opposed to force overw helmning,
Aud many gallant spirits fell before those imps
of hell
Could be driven from this happy land of Canaan
Wen remember with just pride those gallant
boys that died.
The victims of cursed rebellion;
Their m emory shall be cherished when rebellion
has all perished
And been driven from this happy land of Ca
When over rcbeldom our victories are won,
And the stars and stripes are triumphant,
Well give a ronsing cheer for our homes and
sweethearts dear,
And hasten home to the happy land of Canaan.

tablish the old route aleng the Platte, via

+ High Water.-All the streams flowing
out from the mountains are UNUSUALLY high
for this season. The fall Of snow at the
ranges was much heavier this season than
for several years previous, and in conse-
