RALLY SONG FOR THE N. CAROLINA
BOYS.

BIZ W. NJ. GUTHRIE, 5TH C. voLs, SEAH heFoLA, va
Our country is invaded by Lincon's vaRdal host
Turn out n Caronans and drive them from coast
Turn out Southern feemen who strangers to fear
For fortune always favors the brave volunteer
The vaIor of our fathers secured us liberty,
And built US a nation just proud and free;
Their sons to be worthy of legacy so dear,
Should initiate their sres and become a volunteer
Our cause is good and right, and in God ia trust
Who is sure to aid the brave in which is just;
And we will show the coward Abe before another year.
That the Lord is On the side of Southern rolanteer
The old men encourage, the women all say go
And fight for your country and let the yankees kno"
That the South is unit and her sons void of fear:
We will rush to the standard and become volunteer!
Then come boys come and join our gallant band,
To drive back the vandals from our sunny land
Then the rally and will soon make them fear
To come across the borders to fight volunteer!
HurrahI boys hurrah! we have not long to stay
The South needs our help so let us haste away,
For the tocsin is sounded, the cry We hear,
Then fall into ranks and become a volunteer!
The girls all will love you and the old folks will praise,
And point you men who before many days
Will make Lincoln scamper and fill his mind with fear,
To come across the borders to fight volunteer!
Then cheer up my lively lads it should be said,
That the men of North Carolina yet afraid,
Then join old and young, in three hearty cheers,
For the North Carolina and the brave volunteers!
Let us march to the battlefield enemies to face
And there teach the vandas that the race
Has not lost its courage, but when the foe is
Will fight for his country and the brave volunteer
Our neighbors have come out and brought the women
too,
To hear what may say and what we may do
Then rally boys rally oh come from far and near,
Show the blood of your mamma and become volunteer!
Our wives and sweet-hearts at home will remain,
And wait with womans patience till we return again;
And when do come back they will shed joyful tear
And fly to the arms of q returning volunteer
And my gentle friends have got to say to you
The time is close at hand when shall bid you adeu
Our wives and babes loved ones, leave to your
They will be safe, is the faith of your volunteer
True, parting emotions our bosoms may swell,
And many friends weep when shall bid you farewe
As slowly reflect from the war you shall hear,
Victory or death from the brave volunteer
Our glorious all fear should divert,
Our trust is in God that should be hurt;
Then drive back the tears heave not a sigh
When the time shall arrive for the soldiers good bye

A CHEAP DYE-A gentleman has handed US
specimen of cotton yarn colored to represent cop
peras, which it does very closely The dye en-
ployed is very cheap. 1t is made of red or black
oak bark, the rough out side of which should be
first trimmed off. Make strong decoction of the
bark by boiling, and to pot of about gallons,
add table spoonful of blue vitriol. The yarn to
be colored should be put in and boiled for hour
or two, and then washed much you please.
The color will stand; and the yarn will be found
soft and free from the ha1shness usual in copperas
dye.
Mrs Jacob Wilhelm, of this county, has recent
ly tested this dye, and any one desiring further
information the subject may obtain it by calling
on her.-Saiisbury Wotchman.

A SINGULAR PRoPHECY-The following cir
eumstance recently occurred at Pensacola, aud its
truth is vouched for by reliable officer in the
army:
A soldier in the Confederate service fell into a
long and profound sleep, from which his comrades
vainy essayed to him. At last he woke up
himself He then stated that he should die the
next afternoon at o'clock, for it revealed to
him in his dream. He said in the last week Of
the month Of April would be fought the greatest
and bloodest battle of modern times, and that
early in May peace would break upon the land
more suddenly and unexpectedly than the war
had done in the beginning. The first part of the
prophetic dream has been realized for the soldier
died the next day at o'clock p NJ Will the
rest be in April aud May? Let believers in
dreams wait and see.-JoJHe Register
