BY THOMAS P. CoWAN.

Do'i', ehc HiSu priest or BeelZeDuD, TIT
: ruler OF Iartarus, made war on the peo
pie OF God in the land of Dixie wherein
are raised turpentine, treason and cotton
And JEFF. raised seven thousand of hi
brave men, and hailed iron, lead and frt
on Fort Sumter, in the command of Rob
ert, whose surname is Anderson, and sew
enty veterans Puritans.
And Jefferson ceased not, day and
night to Cypress the army of the Lord in
somuch that Anderson surrendered the
fort and lowered the flag of his country
And Jefferson made great banquet
and his wives, and his concubines drank
wine in the vessels made of gold stolen
from the treasure of Floyd, under Old
Buck, the bachelor
Moreover his seven thousand soldiers
reJoiced with great joy, and cried with a
loud voice for three days, Great is King
Cotton, who has delivered our enemies,
the Black Abolitionists, into our hands,
Sambo aud Dinah, who reared our King.
And 1t came to pass, when Abraham
heard the rejoicing, he called Seward,
and said, what meaneth the rejoicing?
And Seward said unto him, Live forev-
er, Father Abraham the Philistines be
upon US.
And Abraham wept, and covered him
self with sackcloth and ashes, and prayed
nightly to God.
And the Lord answered and said unto
him, Fear not, Abraham, for l raised thee
up to deliver my. people. 2uo
Issue thy proclamation, and call out
FIVE and seventy thousand men; perad-
venture Jefferson will repent.
And Abraham hearkened unto the
Lord. Selah.
And Jefferson hardened his heart, and
stifened his neck, aud boasted and said,
What do these Yankees? One of US can
whip ten Abolitionists, and ten of the
chivalry can put a thousand Yankees to
flight.
And it repented the Lord that he had
made Jefferson of the house of Davis
And the Lord saith unto Abraham, Is
sue thy proclamation, and call out three
hundred thousand men, and [ will punish
Jefferson for his sins, wherein he hath
sinned against Heaven.
And Abraham obeyed God Selah.
And the Philistines pitched battle a
gainst the Puritans at Bull Run; and
Jefferson slew Of the army of Abraham
two and twenty thousand.
And discounted the army of the Lord,
and took forty and four thousand prison
ers, and wagons not few aud routed
the army of Abraham.
And Abraham wept bitterly, and pray
ed nightly to God, and said, Surely, O
Lord God, thou hast forsaken thy servant
Abraham, and destroyed the people.
And the Lord answered Abraham and
said, Fear not, my servant, for | have
raised thee up to deliver my people.
And l will punish the arrogance of
Jefferson, and the naughty shall be laid
low.
Issue thy proclamation again, and call
out six hundred thousand men, and | wills
sweep the land of Dixie with the bosom
of destruction.
And it shall come to pass that Rich
mond and Charleston, the beauty of the
Southern Confederacy, shall be as Sodom
and Gomorrah.
They shall not be dwelt in from gen
Grafton TO generation neither shall the
STAKEHOLDER pitch his tent therein but
the wild beast of Florida shall lie there
owls shall build their nests in their pala-
ces, and satyrs shall dance there, and
their time is near at hand, and their days
shall not be prolonged.
For the Lord thy God shall have mer-
cy on Abraham, and will yet choose Is
rael, and they cleave to the house of A
braham.
And my servants shall take them cap
tive whose captiyes they were, and they
shall rule over their oppressors, the L. +.
VS. of Dixie
And thou Abraham shalt use this pow
er against Jefferson, the arch traitor of
Dixie and say,
How hath the oppressor ceased the
golden cities The Lord hath broken
the staff of JEFF, and the sceptres of his
rulers.
He who smote the people in wrath with
continued stroke; he that ruleth in an
ger is prosecuted and none hindreth the
whole earth is at rest; my people break
forth into singing.
Yea, the palmetto trees and cedar sre-
ioice saying, Since thou JEFF. art laid low
no fellow is come up against US.
He'll from beneath is moved for thee to
meet thee at thy coming; it stlrreth up
the dead for thee.
All these shall speak and say unto thee,
Art thou JEFF. become weak as we thy
pomp is brought down. =
How art thou fallen from Heaven, .
Lucifer son of mourning? How art thou
cut down to the ground which did weak
EN- this nation :,
For thou hast said in thy heart, ] will
call the roll of my slaves on Bunker Hill;
and exalt my throne above the stars and
stripes.
L will be like the Most High; yet you
JEFF, shall be brought down to hell, to the
! bottomless pit.
