''coNPREHKNsIvK ESTIMATE"
The chivalrous South, my boy, has taken Fort
Sumpter, and only wants 10 be "let alone"
Some things of Southern sort I like, nv boy
southdosn mutton is 6t for the gods, and South-
side particular IL liquid sunshine for the heart:
but the whole country is growing tired OF new
South walls before this, and my present compre.
hensive estimate Of all there 10 of Dixie NAV be
summed up in twelve straight lines, under the
general heading of
REPUTATION
Meath ragged palmetto Southerner sat
Advising the band OF his Panama hat
And trying to tighten his mind Of q load
by hummlng the words Of the following ode:
"Ohi for q Niger, and OH for q whip:
OH for q cocktail, and obi for q min:
on !SF shat :. osa S6fslsy .eSdd7 aS s7:sss ssssser
Oh. for captain, and oh! for q ship;
oh, for q cargo OF nigsers each trip,'
And so he kept oh-ing for all he had not
Not contented with owing for all that hed got
These "twelvc straight lines" are worthy Of
Hood.
Here is a fair hit at the way in which the re-
cruitng service WAS conducted in the early
ges of the war
RECRUITING.
TIE Calcium Light Regiment was recruited At
great expense in New York, and went into camp
on Riker's Island. until Secretary Cameron or.
dered his colonel TO briag him on immediately
for the defence Of Washington. The regiment
has three officers, and will elect the others %
soon ~ bis voice is strong enough. He says
that he is . regiment of 900 men; be says that
1000 lie simply the figure and three ciphers,
and that he represents the ], and his three Off.
GERS the three ciphere
believe him, my boy!
William Brown, Of Regiment s, Mackerel
Brigade, asked bis colonel last week for leave to
60 to New York on recruiting service, and got
it. He came back to day, and says the colonel
to him:
"Where's your recruits ?"
William smiled sweesly, and remarked that be
didn't see it,
service, didn't you!" exclaimed the colonel.
'Yes says William, 81 went to recruit my
he alth."
The colonel immediately administered the oath
to him. The oath, my boy, tastes we'll with lem
on ia it.
DEFIANCE TO GREAT BRITAIN.
The General Of the Msckerel Brigade 10 nt
friend to England. He is reported to have made
this strong speech -
1--WE have borne with Great Britain q grea
while. my boy but it is nov time for US 10 TAX.
Canada, and wipe every vestge of British tyran
| ny from the face OF the globe. The American
eagle, my boy, flaps his dark wings over the rex
head Of battle, aud as his scarlet eyes rest Tor
moment on the English custom house, he softl,
whispers-he simply remsr ks-he merely ejscu
Ia;cs-Gore.
Americans fellow citizens foreigners! On,
people Of Boston! shall We longer allow Ii
bloated B-i'ish sristocracy to blight me with be-
abolition proclivities. while Mr.. Seward 10 capt
bic Of holding pens
Hail, blood and thunder! welcome gentle Gorei
Let the loud hewgas shatter every shore!
High 70 the zenith let our eagle fly,
| Ten Thousand battles blazing in his eye!
Nail our proud standard ~ the Northern Pole,
Plant patent earthquakes in each foreign hois
Shout havoc, murder, victory and spoiis,
| Till all creation crouches IN tolls.
Then, when the world 70 our behest is bent,
And takes the Herald for its punishment,
Wen pin banner 20 comets tail,
} And shake tho Heavens with big "Au HAILr
} That's the spirit Of America, my boy, take
with nutmeg on top and hollow straw. Ves
good for invalids.
