CARRIERS Address
OF THE
SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.

JANUARY /, 1868.
THE bright NEw-YEAR is here at last,
Expected sixty-thrrc,
To see what changes have been made
In this worlds history,
he scnns each leaf Of fate all Ger,
Astonished is his view.
To see the sights. to hear the ills
Of eighteen sixty two.
Vast happy homes are broken up.
The mournful sight foretells,
How many peaceful bosom now
With sad emotion swe1ls.
The din OF battle, clash Of arms,
Is heard on every hand,
A mighty tumult now upheaves
Our blessed Southern laud.
The father has gone forth to fight.
The son is missing. too.>
The brother and the lover. all,
Are absent from the view.
The neighbor, friend. are all away;
In distant lands they roam,
10 think. TO sigh, perhaps to drenp,
Ofloved ones left at home,
They want to meet the enemy,
The mighty Northern host,
no come to desolnte our land
And lay waste all our coast.
But We have enemies at homei
Quite busy all the time,
In looking for the dollar, nowi
And grasping at the dime.
The poor are often made to Hcl
The grinding touch Of thofe
Who ought to be their truea friend.
But now their deadliest 4 ics.
The chilling winds are blowing keen.
The ground is frozen ofr,
lie want of shoes is sorejy felt
The mother doth implose
some kind shoemaker ne4r'at hand,
To give her some relief
10 ease her weory troubled mind.
