As A. Lincoln would say, Ct a story:
Onee in the bright hey-day of glory,
On battlefield sLot-pIoughed and CORY,
An officer stood; truth binds me ff

Had "shelld' the fore part Of his leg.
San right" he quietly uttered.
And as he was banddged, he rnuttsred,

SECOND PATRov.
This is the lad who weekly
Brings the printers jottings,
Distributes at our doors,
Accounts of grand f,trores;
OF Bcccher preaching meekly,
Of Opayke stealing sleekly,
OF JEFF Davis growing weakly,
OF ug1v Rebel plottings
T. invade the Northern border
Or with phosphorus and bot things,
Throw New York into disorder;
OF 'Rullatins' from Stanton,
Describing Pilloge wapton.
Of murder, rape and arson,
For which the village parson
Thanks God each holy Sunday,
And prays our conquering armies
May repeat them all on Monday;
OF Sewaris shrewd dispatches,
OF sleeping Gideon's hcdes,
Of what the last alarm is
Along the North Potomac
OF Federal rations vanished
In Moseby's hongry stomach
OF noble patriots banished
For standing hy the cause
OF Freedom and the laws;
Of traitorous cons2racies
Iiy o. u. As and X G. Cs,
As found in Joseph Hollis reports
Of blowing mp of rebel forts r.-s.
And sealing up' Of Southern ports,
IZidnapping judges Of The courts,
And all the regal games and sport,
Played by our noble rulers now
For ''loyaIty's" diversions
Of Winter Davis latest row
With Seward and the President;
OF the wonderful conversion
Through which the frieads Of Fremont went
For the man they swore was never sent
On earth to be tier Presidents
OF all the proclamations
About the drafts vexations, r
To this ''nost distressed of nations; y
