a- The last news we heard from Attakapas
say that the Federab have pushed their pickets
as far as franklin, and that several skirmishes
had taken place, The enemy's force is not ascer
tanned but it is generally believed that their num-
Der does not exceed 5000 men. 1t is also almost
generally believed that this force is part of an ex-
petition which is destined for Texas; this would
seem to quiet the population Of Atsakapas.
Nevertheless, the question is often asked: "1s

HAIL, friends and kind patrons, again / am here
To wish you the joys of another New Year;
Since came round, year ago to-day,
Seed-tme and Harvest, each has passed away,
The Farmers has been but poorly filed
From numerous that were piowcd and titled,
But Heaven has granted greater joys than wealth,
In giving all good degree of Health;
Thankful lets be, for blessings rich aad rare
And as meet. the festive joys share,
Wen cast a thought on those we hold most dear
And wish them all prosperous, Happy \ ear
On numerous subjects might chat a while;
Ger sorrows sigh, and pleasures smile,
But war the theme that occupies each tongue
OF war we talk, and some of war have sung
On April twelfth, in Eighteen Sixty-one,
When Sumpters walls pierced by rebel gun,
Sweet Peace took wings and left our happy land
Since drenched IN blood shed by "a brothers hand
Prom that day forward, our land has been cursed
With War, of all considered the
An nnholy rebellion, commenced without
BY part of the Union protected by laws
That gave them all rights that we have enjoyed;
But alas for the Niger those laws y ere DESTROYED
Those rebels our brothers. had ruled long
They felt themselves mighty all powerful and strong;
They d erect new Government call it their own
Then say to the North-pray let Us alone
Like dog once read OF in fable of old,
That entered a butchers shop fearless and bold,
Purloined from Its owner a large piece of meat
Ran off with the prize he regarded so sweet
And while he leSurely gnaWing his bone,
lie asked nothing than to be ''et alone"
They'd break up the Union-lheyd tramp on flag
Disregard Constitutional treachery brag,
Steal millions millions of funds not their own,
And cry with ndignitv-'.iet US alone
And cen in the North, there men not few
Who sympathze tronely with Davis and crew.
nth faces elongated, they p eoosly moan
we r opposed to Coersion-Ohi let them alone"
This let alone game has been play ed quite long
Rebellion meantime has grown to be strong;
Commanders of 4 rmes Lave feared to offend
The owner Of ringers '-Rehelons friend
Instead OF pursuing and conquering the foe,
Hen Hoops and Pig Pens must be watched where they 90
And if stray niger comes into the Camp,
"Be.one, cries the Colonel" You impuden scamp:
This Is the white and re but a slave,
Il d not give you Freedom the Union . sa-e.''
But the signs Of the times point 10 this blessed morn
As day when nation OF Freemen born;
From bondage set free. three millions
ReiOi Of air llerino Is o'pr
Old Abes Proclamation they hail with delight,
And gladly would rally for Freedom to fight
So slow are the movements that point to the day
When peace viii the hardships of camp life repay
That the true. loyal people, all over the land
Think noulder-strappcd Jonahs are high in command
a few have already been to the whale
And others trust in the craft will sail,
Till nought but Ioyolty is left in the field
Then look out We rebels-ve die you yield.
In the East and the South the signs indicate,
Operations active armies await

SIXTEENTH ANNUAL ADDRESS

"Strategetc winter quarters we hope there
Giving rebels and traitors time prepare.
The battle blade for Freedom let them draw,
And fight Tor Country, Government and Law
Make justice bold and truth and Union strong
Strike treason d~wr, annihilate the wrong.
Let all the leaders of our army prove
True to nankind-true 70 God above.
Then God will grant protection to our fame,
And eud rebellion with the traitors shame
To fight the battles IF the brave and true
Wseonsns have rallied, not few;
On every field where fighting is the game
The Badger Bovs have earned a lasting tame.
Fhe "MIxER's GUARDS" from Mineral Point the first
Have fought and bied, Of ali our boys the INST
An Iron host, they ye stood their ground;
Among that band ne fearful heart found
Though few in numbers they still host;
Where danger leads twill ever be their boast
No Miners Guard e er turned his back to fec
But those who fell fell fighting for the free.
The ''FARMER's GUARDS have earned noble name.
Justly Inscribed upon the roll of fame;
The STANTON guards ready for the fight,
The BURTON GUARDS will er sustain the right;
They 90 fight for Union and Mankind
And many leave their dearest ones-behind
Let us who stay. provide with liberal hand
For such as need, the honnties of the land
Supply the wants, and fill tie heart with cheer,
OF her dependent on a Volunteer
Would time permit might extend my verse;
And scenes domestic to your rehearse-
Might the numbers who have crossed the plains,
In search of Gold, in hope of rapid gains;
| might rehearse their disappointments sore,
At finding plentier tired limbs than ore;
Might call your mind to politics, and say,
That bogus Democrats on last Election day,
In many places, proved the thing outright.
That they could vote, while others go and fight,
] might relate that other stubborn fact
That they, by cunning Legislative TACT
Deprived our Soldiers families of aid
That heretofore justly had been paid
] might portray resistance to the draft
BY who sail this Democratic Craft,
And tell how sorely they mistook their man,
How. marched to Camp, like any rebel clan,
And there compelled the menial work to do,
For | MON Soldiers who are brave and true;
But these facts You knew we'll before
lis labor lost if | relate them oer
Before close my humble docgerel lines
Let me just hint at something of the times
Paper is ce and prices very high
Little in market, and that is bard to buy;
If YOU would read, from week to week the news
Step up and pay the printer all his dues.
The TRIBUNE then will at your door appear
Each Wednesday morning, through the coming year,
Laden with news from every State and cline
Much more important than my humble rhyme
Now, if you d like to raise the ID

Fork out a quarter to commence the year,
And let him of to with other cheer
