The New York Post, under the above
heading, publishes = number Of quaint
melodies to which the war hss,given birth.
We clip few for the benefit Of our read
ers Of q poetical turn Of mind:
TO SOUTH CAROLINA.
90 Carolina, sister, pray come back,
Scorn net our flag, nor lightly talk Of wars,
Lest Uncle Sam come fairly on your track,
Should make you feel the stripes and see the
stars"
REBEL FLEETNEss.
"Nst half the soldiers on the rebel SIDE
Can spell their names, if grave reports we
Yet southern learning has been much beTied,
II it be true that, he who runs may read
And again:
"The rebels at Richmond were boasting last
That the Jao'0sr of their army our borders
And egad i we Judge them, while seeing
All that aqaSr (nOw just boltsD appears to be
-wryP I
GOVERNOR MAGOFFIN.
'' Beriah Magofin,
You tratorous ruf1an,
I'm sure The community think that you ought,
With kickn' and cuffin,
Laid fat as a muffin,
To have good stufhn
OF powder and shot"
GOVERNOR WISE.
1.-THE rebels moan & sad defeat,
That might have been completer
For Burnside, though he had feet
Must yield to Wise as fester."
"A couplet slightly changed will show
Why Burnside lost his boastful foe;
He that is Wise can run away,
And live to fight another day
THE TWO BIS.
Says Battery to the Bayonet
With derisiVe irony,
"slimmest Of all the blades I've met
Do you think you can carry me Z"
SAYS the Bayonet TO the Battery,
- Square up.with your elbow joint
And youll find that however slim 1 be
IalWays carry my Point ~
POOR JOHNNY BULL.
No wonder the Britishers law,
Now their sad case is laid bare;
II they don't get their cotton raw,
They won't get their beefsteaks rare,
Another song with an equally sstonish-
ing chorus has been somewhat popular |
with the soldiers
Raise the banner, raise it high, boys
Let it float against the sky;
God be with u.s. this our cry, boys
Under ltWe'll do or die.
Isl CHo-Anse to glory, glory, glory
Our country calls march On,march onl |
2D CAo-Co-cs-che-lunk-ch e-luDk- che-la ly,
CO-ca-che-lunk-che-lunk che-is-ly,
k-che-lunk-che-la-ly,
Rig-a-de-dig' and away we go
The following was the defiant song song |
which Burnside's soldiers sent over, with |
ringing voices, to the North Caroline |
shore as the approached it:
essay, rebels, will you meet US,
Say, rebels, will you greet Us,
Say, rebels, will you beat US,
On North Carolina shoreg
In the name Of God well meet you,
With the sword Of God WeIl greet YOU.
By the grace OF God well beat you,
On North Carolina shore:
Singing glory, hallelujah,
Singing g1oTy, hslleluJsh,
Singing glory. hallelujah,
To God foreyermorel
"With the sword of JEFF. you meet us,
In the name Of JEFF you greet Us,
In treason's cause to beat us,
On North Carolina shore.
But our flag shall nOst forever,
And our Union none shall sever,
And treason punish ever,
On North Carolina shore.
Singing" etc.
The following lines are said to have been |
written by a cOpperhesd to show that he |
was loyal man and 8 patriot:
lam down on this rebellion ten fold more
But not because our glorious Union it is bound |
to dissever,
But this cursed treason it at last has come to |
That Whiskey has gone up from six to ten cents
glassl'
And the manner in which J. D. would |
be willing to compromise, and also the po-
lite answer he would get, are explained |
thus:
"Well, Uncle Sam" says Jefferson D.,
Llhbulero, old Uncle Sam,
You II have to JON my Confed 'racy,"
Lillbulero, old Tncle Sam.
Bero, lero, that don't appear o, that don't |
appear" SAYS old Uncle Sam.
Lero, lero. fllibustero, that don tappear o.
says old Uncle Sam.
The following sonnet to the Chief Mag
istrate no doubt proceeds from its authors |
heart thodgh somewhat deficient in or
biography:
Graft Msgistrait: that gifts up in the mite
All full Nv Cair, & rites for seVeril Ours

A irwin all the vile 10 doc Wots rite

but that's beeos you knew so much moren Wot

Converting Lady Rebels.
A late number Of the Little Rock ARK.
Union says:
Uncle Sans nephews in Arkansas have
found an agreeable and effectusl way Of
crushing the rebellion. 1t has been said
that the women Of the South are the most
rebelhous, and, but for them, the spirit Of
rebellion would soon die out The boys
have gone on the principle of striking at
the root Of the evil, and Of oonquering
