Jeff Davis soliloquy.
BY A LADY OF pELAwAng.

Upon hearing he dgsai Of lice by Meade at Get
tys6arg, and he surrender Of FicksJurg,
by Ptmbsrton aud Graat.
All me ah mel what shll do
Our cause is 50 forlorn,
That now the day | sadly rue
That ever was born
Once was happy, still might be-
III had been content,
Was blest with station, and with friends
With whom my youth was spent
My country loved at home, abroad,
On earth none fairer stood;
My fratrieidal hand has struck
Aud washed its soil in blood
Oh vile ambition! now see
When it is just too late,
The evil il has done to me,
Myself, I'll always hate
Years long ago plot planned
And nightly dreamed it Ger,
Which northern men have scanHod and damne,
Aud seal'd forevermore
The English nation long have tried
This Union for to sever,
joined with them I've not denied
Their schtmc is lost forever
Peace men have done what e'er they could
And labored in disguise,
To aid our cause which had not stood
So long but for their cries
My Gen'rals have done all they could
Both Beauregard and Lee
Aud Stonewall Jackson he wns good,
Aa Central e'er could be,
But who 'gainst God can hope to fight
And prosper well and long!
The northern men are in the right,
And God has made them s1RoNn
iavincble, we all have thought
That great man Central Lee,
But when in conflict Meade was brought
'uainst him, what do we see
Behold him whipped, and then retreat,
He never turus again,
He found his match, was greatly heat,
With only half his men.
There's yickshurg humbled too by Grant,
Though strongly fortified
The Spangled Banner floats between
Our East and Western side.
July the Fourth is heard again
Its fame will never die
This vict'fy to the Union men,
To treason bids goodbye.
The Northern fast days, much | fear,
Their prayers ascend on high
They ask in faith, and God Is near
To hearken to their cry.
God gave them Gen'rals when they prayed
That whipped us very bad
Another fast II not.delnycd
Will make our cause more sal.
The blockade soon I'll have to run,
10 Europe haste away,
For fear shall ere long be hung,
Aud LINCOLN take the day,
