THE CARRIERS ADDRESS
TO THE PATRONS or THE
HIGHLAND WEEKLY NEWS.
Now Years Morning, 1865.

For joy and Grief are sisters, dwelling near.
ThousI merry words my trembling lips o'er.leap,
have heart to weep with them that weep.
Much cause inspires TO Rladness; much TO sighs,
Our nirth niinplc now with moistened eyes,
This cruel once over, can sing,
A Country dlsenthraed and Freedom King.
The PEoPLE,-glUrious People $50 declare,
Nor to this end their blood and treasure sparei
But freely our Union altars pour,
More nobly yet than Grecian Knight Of yorei
Oh GoD Upon the sacrifice took down,
Aud wither all our foes with thy dread frown;
To LIBERTY and UNloN them dispose,
Aud heal with peace q guilty Nations woesi
Long guilty-now repeutant:-'ncath thy rod,
Accept the sacrifice we bring, oh Con!
The Jravest and the best fondly given,
In them our hopes are centored and in Hcaveni
An offering precious than pure gold;
An Offering whose price may not be told
It's incense mounts aloft mid battles smoke,
And every bleeding victim is stroke
+ Joves avenging, high uplifted hand,
To shake the nation and to purge tho landl
As when parent chidcs his wayward child,
| Aud potent rod constrains its passion wild;
Then quick reeuting, soothes the painful blows,
| And love in lavish mood again 6estows:
So now with tile Lord Of Justice deals,
So Fatherland TO rebel sons aprealsl
| Hol erring children ofc the Suth and North,
Receive new blessings the curse goes forth
'CoIunlbial Columbia to glory arise,
The Queen of the World and the Child Of the Skles"
| To sketch the grand events of SiXty-Four,
| Although pleasing tack. is vastly more
| Than time aud space pcrmits-had the power
Tn, tragic tale will page 10y page unfold,
| At,I la, lu.t .loIf u not he
Though telling cease not until Time grows old.
The solGiers Of the Union marched along,
Aud srcp by step beat back the rebel throug;
From Dalton to Atlanta Sherman sweeps,
| Through fearful passes and up mounain-secrsl
The stubborn Johnston slowly yielding ground,
Before the start banners waving round
Then Hood essayed in vain, at bitter cost,
BY rashucss to regain what Johnston lost
The traitors came with sritks, as hcuds Of Hell,
With lows rctnincd- hut many brave men fell
'Twoa Ehcrn,ou'. nest >" strit" manly blow,
| And hcm his fortress fled the vanqushed foo.
Thus in the Wet our victory complete,
Removed far South the raging conflicts seat.
While nt the East the shrcwd aud fertile Lee
Was forced at length within his walls to flee:
Dcsicging hosts around our standards plant,
And Fate reluctant yields the palm 10 Grant.
| For Fate though stubborn, scarcely darcs to match
'Gainst him Who from defeat doth triumph snatch.
,Tis his that oppressed the foe unto the WALL"
| To name the time thccitadel shall fall.
GaASr, YALoR, HEAVEN! How can Richmond stand,
When all combined its ruin shall commando
II Hunter Lynchburg reached day too late,
An EmIy time decides its certain fate.
when Sheridan designs to pass that way,
Who stand, opposed will sadly rue the day.
The ride Of Sheridan on gallant sIecd
| Is done in song quite benutifulIy- Read
l leave him with the poet, aud dismiss
The hero with this riddle for my miss
| "Of many bloody battles early lost, 'r.r...
A single Early triumph none can hdtAt"
When Price, MeCulloch, with their brutal clan,
| Unfortunate Missouri Overran,
Rusccrnns another laurel chuplct won,
While warriors rose, as Ewing, PlCasanton'
| Too long the list Of fworthies for recall,
But Price was quickly driven to the WALL
Aud Cehurne fell, to strike us nevermore,
While prisoners were captured by the score.
Tn Banks department progress has been made,
Aud Louisauas nearly right, tits said,
Her Con gressmen are knocklngat the door,
And may at least lie seated on tie foor
Since Sherman at Atlanta vanquished Hood,
J He traveTstd Georgia over doing good.

Like sOning schoheld used ut franklin WE'LL
Where many veteran rebels peaceful fell,
While Thomas-an Apostle, without doubii
Has likewise put Hoods armies to the rout.
To prove the rule, We may except perhaps
Short cuts like Butler's, when We hnd Dutch Gaps.
