THE BATTLE.

Give them shell, boys, give them she'll
They are coming over the hill,s
You can see their widening columns swell,
You can hear their bugles trifl,
Give them SHE'LL boys Aim her straight,
Ready-pull lanyard-of she goes
Hear her skurry and scream in hate
Puff She's done for dozen foes
Give them grape, boys, give them grape
They coming little too near
Each dusky bulk is gaining a shape,
And their tramp is loud and clear.
Give them grape, boys, Steady Fire
Now, boys go to work with WILL
Sight that gun q little higher
Right Ia gap that twenty can fill
Give them lead boys, give them lead
Up with the infantry, load boys, load
Where's Joe Lane ?-poor fellows, he's dead
Many of us must travel his road
Give them lead, boys on they come
With columns massed in fierce attack
Think of your dear ones safe at home
Stand by your guns, boys Drive them back
Give them steel, boys, give them steel
They fight like devifs--at them again
Their charge is broken--they pause-they reel !
After them, boys, with might and main
Give them steel, boys-see how they run
Pm hit-just here-but never mind me
Lay me down by the side of that gun,
And after the rest with three times three
Give them cheer, boys, give them cheer |!
Let them know we have won the fight.
I'm dying now-you can bury me here
Dig deep, boys, and do it tonight.
There's one at home, you can give her my sword,

Have always been true to my plighted word
For my country and her | am glad to die.

TYP PRICE CLEANED OUT

The situation in. w esternr Missouri ,ias re-
ported in our last issue, was that Price, hay
ing moved about with.his army in aeW o
Me-toisp manner, now here, now there, was
brought to stand up fight on the border of
Missourion Saturday. and after some sharp
fighting was finished up in a battle on Sun
day, and sothoroughly that he took to fl ght
with his whole army. The combined Union
forces undsr Curtis, Rosecral,s, A. j. Smith,
Pleasantor, Jennison, and others, were press.
ing on his rear, and drawing the blood at
every stroke. Our soldiers fought nobly,
and our last nights dispatch carries forward
though only briefly and without detail
the good news previously reported. Our boys
out that way are rough riders, and vigorous
fighters. They viii spare neither. horse flesh
nor the sabre's edge, and Price viii be rude
ly handled every step Of the way. There is
in our view, however, very little prospect
that lie win be bagged. The bagging bust.
ness has never, been thiivingly successful out
that way. Price has large and admirably
mounted cavalry force, or there is no virtue
in horse stealing, while VIC have reason to
believe that our own mounted force is not
what the present juncture requires for effect
ivencss. 1t is, however, certain that the tide
is turned, and the rebel cause in Missouri is
literally at its last ebb. Before it can again
seek to return, the loyal breakwater will have
been completed in the reelection of Abraham
Lincoln, and the only thing left the rebels
viii be their last ditch. -
