/ CABINET MEETING II RICHMOND.
RIeHMcxD, May 10, 1854
I Dayis-Dear benjamin, hast thou eF-
or thought Of utter dissolution, and
What the world calls nothingness2
Be1iamin-Jefferson when my brain
was young-aye, when 1t was still IN
/ infancy, in the swamps Of Louisiana,
where alligatoIs--horrid monsteTs-and
hogs, detested by the Jews, do dwell,
methought once upon a time of defeat,
vet il was but for a moment Methought
Poydras-street---
Dayis-Come, come, Benjamin, /
wish not to know Of the rascally deeds
of thy tribe in New Orleans; bat re-
member that thou and John didst
promise me, when by thy silvery tongue
was forced upon this hard adventure,
TO take my tribes into land Of promise,
where milk and honey flow, and where
government "psp" should be eternal
But fear me thou art a very Judas of
thy tribe, for To- these many days have
l been leading nay nation through the
wilderness Of the Potomac, and thou
and thy tribe have been enjoying all
the benefits from selling old clothes
and dealing in Confederate rags, while
John has been living in style IN the
city of Paris, whereof the Frenchites
are masters. Alas, that l should ever,
at thy persuasion, have left my Missis-
sippi farm, and invested in Jewish
stocks
Benjamin-Why, Davis, thou hast
become an old woman. Thou art in
thy dotsge Who Of the tribe in New
Orleans have we not left TO prey upon
the Philistines, and is not Lee, the great
Jewish general, in orr front, to beat
back the Pharoah Of the North?
DaVis-Alas, BENJAMIN, l fear that
game is up. We have been running for
long time on our good looks, but that
won't do now. If Mcclellan, Hooker,
Burnside, or any other of the common
herd were in front Of Lee, then would
have some hopes; but the cunning
and accursed Hittites have found new
man, a regular GoIiah--a very Samson
and fear we are gone. Oh, Benia-
min, bat for You, never would have
been reduced to such straits; and then
they say that fellow Butler, who voted
for me in the Charleston Convention, is
in the saddle, and on the Peninsula
Oh, for brigade of your New Orleans
Jewish maidensi Think you, Benia-
min, that Beauregard can hold the
city2 Oar soldiers are weary, and our
conscripts wish for peace.
REORGANIZATION art growing weak,
and am ashamed of thee With my
silvery voice alone will go forth and
meet these Amelikites, and put them to
rout Am l not Of the tribe Of judah,
and was not David one Of my ancestors,
and what though did help John TO
rob the people of Louisiana, are we not
the sristocracy and chivalry Of the
country, and shall cowardly Yankees
wrench BY force that which we have
gained by logic? What, no my horse
BENJAMIN mounts his charger)
Enter Courier-Butler is coming
Davis-Well let him come. If l
can meet old Ben. and he'll agree not to
outlaw me, I'll swap Benjamin off for
him any day. How far il he OFF,
Courier-Only two miles and-a-half
Davis-Where is Robert?
Courier-Who did you say sir2
Davis-Lee you slave Where Is
Robert E. Lee, my protegee | don't
believe much in him since Stonewall
was killed, but then he's the best I've
got Where is he varlet2
Courier-He's on the left
Dayis-On the left? What does he
on the left when he should serve me at
Richmond? Alackl the day when
became a rebel To horse to horse
I'll try the issue myself Methinlls,
alone and single handed, can slay ten
thousand Grants. l would have Killed
Santa Anna at Buena Vista had my
men not given away
Here the wires from Clinton broke
and we are left in the dark; but from
the grapevine we learn that jeff was
MOUNTED on "White Sure y" and in
the field was staying all he encounter
