The Hero Of Wilmington.

The Hero of Wilmington
BALLAD.
Ben Butler was soldier man,
A hero brave was he,
Who had for silver spoons and such,
A partiali-ty.
BE did not fight at New Orleans,
he loved not martial knocks;
Yet he was there and brought away
A pocketful of rocks.
He ruled us here in New York town,
All on election day,
But could not get riot up,
And so he went away.
He was pet with Abraham,
So Old Abe said Il must
Get up job for Benjamin
Some high and holy trust
The Rebs are strong in Wilmington,
A pretty place to hold;
And blockade runners there have stored,
Much silver and much gold.
so Ben, you'd better take that place,
Your trusty sword in hand;
BY water Porter can attack,
While you assault by land
Then down they went to Wilmington,
An army and feet,
With transports, monitors and ships,
And everything complete.
Ben Butler is a brilliant man
A hefty engineer
But he conceived plan which seems
Not altogether clear
He sent a powder-boat quite close
To Fortress Fisher there,
And blew her UP to make great
Conclusion in the air.
But that was all 1t seemed to do,
For when the thing was bust,
The fortress was not hurt az all
The air alone cOncussed.
Then at it Mister Porter went,
With hammer and with tongs;
To him the feeble credit
Of that there fight belongs.
lie burst his hundred FOUNDER guns,
Just six of them were dished,
And killed more Union men than Rebs
Which was not what he wished.
And while the hot teu denver ragged
And guns and shells did roar,
Ben Butler brought the transports in.
And put his men ashore.
A slirmish line he first threw out,
That rushed into the fort;
A dag by them was taken, and
BY them a horse was caught.
DIT son,.boIy. M onp followed ON
And skirmishers alone
Can hardly take first class fort
As every one must own.
SO being left quite in the lurch,
Not knowing what to do
They took their captured horse and flag,
And quietly withdrew.
1t is not known where Butler WAS;
But in my inmost mind,
I think that he was hunting round
Some silver spoons to lind
And being thus engaged forgot
To make his grand assault;
So that the Rebs still hold the fort
Ia probably his fault
So back he took his forces then
And signalled Porter soon,
I cannot take Fort Fisher. aud
cannot find spoon
The transports took the men Oh board
Some ten or twenty loads,
And in humiliation bore
Them back to Hampton Roads.
MORAL: FOR FATHER ABRAHAM.
Now if you want to win fight,
And not to make q mess
Choose men who love their country more,
And silver spoons the less.
For otherwise you'll find too late
They'll do as Ben has done,
And waste both life and property
To fail, at Wilmington.
POSTSCRIPT.
Since the above was written,
Brave Terry down did go
And captured the Fort Fisher
That scared Ben Butler so.
Poor Buffers nerves are ruined
His Porter proved too strong
And neither silver spoons nor fame
Do now 10 him belong.
He's given up his dog tax
And silver spoons beside,
And though at home, in Lowell
Is greatly Ierry.fed

NEGRO EoUArrY IN BosroN.-The
question of negro equality may be
considered as settled in Boston. A
few evenings since two negroes ap-
piled for admission to a place of
amusement in that city, but the
agent refused to sell them tickets.
The next day the negroes sued the
agent, and won their case on the
strength of a law passed by the
Massachusetts Legislature last
winter, that no person was to be
excluded from any place of amuse-
ment on account of color. The
court, however, RENTED the penal
ty prescribed by the law upon the
plea OF the defendant that he was
ignorant Of the existence of the
statute referred to, but supposed
that he had perfect right to admit
or exclude whom be pleased from
a hall OF amusement which he hired
and paid for.

The South AS A FIELD FOR AMBI-
TEoUs YOUNG MEN.--The New York
Evening Post urges young men who
propose literary career to emigrate
South, where, it argues, there are gol-
den opportunities for editors and pub
fishers. 1t says the South is to be for
some time to come what the West has
been, and it is now the finest field in
the world for amassing fortunes. The
few years needful for restoring the
buildings, railroads, and other inn
proyements destroyed by the war, and
for re-peopling the country, are no
more than are required for clearing up
new land. In place Of stump-felling,
there is rebuilding to be done instead
Of an entirely new soil is one that has
been only scratched on the surface by
the hoe. Apd the same inducements
always stand for professional men as
for the carriers of axes.
