SONGS OF THE CAMP.
Fort Fisher.

Fort Fisher stormed on January 18TH 1865 at $50
P At ten at night the fort garrison of 200 men, and
the material of surrendered 60 Major General
Terry, commanding the United States forces.
Three generals assembled, hold council to-day,
To decide if the fort we can take and the way
Terry, Comstociz and Ames, this trinity form,
Whilst Butler is proving the fort we can't storm.
Says Terry: " My whole reputation ! II stake
That that fort by assault can certainly take"
Says COmstock " | think the fact is most clear
And so Grant informed me when he sent me here"
Then Adelbert answered: only can say,
] perish or conquer the rebels to-day"
Now Curtis has marshaled his gaap5 brigade;
hundred shnrp-shoOters advance before these
Pennebacl>ers and Bells next in order arrayed,
And two thousand sailors commanded by Breese,
Amidst whom, in valor inferior 10 none,
Was Bartlett, Rhode Islands invincibe son.
See! Lamb like warrior clad in mail,
Now thunders forth his iron hail
And our force approaches higher,
He pours his entladng fire
Upon their unprotected 1anks
And decmates the staggering ranks
The tars unused to tented field
Reluctant, seem about to yield;
But whilst within bomb proof secure
The Southern soldiers lie,
From ri1ed cannon swift and sure,
The kissing bullets fly.
The strongest guns, dismounted now,
Cannot, i'll time, he set:
'Tis certain death to show ones brow
Above the purapet.
Protected by the deathful shield,
Boldly our troops advance;
And, when the final gun has pealed
The leaders practiced glance
Sees that the gunners only halt
To give signal for assault.
Now, manly courage claims the right
70 cope with deeds performed of yore;
Now brave any Christian knight
Europe Palestine eer saw
Needless of bullets sword or flames
Stood forth our leader, General Ames.
Two hundred yards in front we see
The mimic rifles cleaning;
He draws his sword, cries Follow me-"
And none of Il ght is dreaming.
We rush into the pliisaie;
The traverse soon clear,
From whence the stars and Stripes displayed,
Call forth "A rousns cheer.
And the fort which they said could never
be taken,
At ten % clock was ours;
And the Southern cause was at once forsaken
BY the treacherous foreign powers.

The jest and Laugh in Battle.
I From Chautbers'S $ Journal I

In the midst of danger soldiers are sometimes
prone to jest and laugh, and even play prac-
tical jokes on each other as the following an
before SebastopOl there was a certain man in
the regiment who disliked being on duty i'll
the trenches, and who always got into what he
considered the safest corner ot the trench and
remained there as long rs lie could. The hu@icr
of his company, Il malicious uICAIn, soon found
this out and was constantly in the habit Of
playing tricks TO frighten his cautious c0mradc.
He would peep over the parapet and call out
A shOt!" and then turn around To see his
friend roll himself together like a ball. At
other times he would call out "A shell!' of
which he knew the man had mortal dread;
and when he saw him throw himself fiat Oh

him by showing him =, bit oi an old she'll which
he had picked up for the purpose, remarking
at the same time: THAT was a near thing
man" All the men knew and enjoyed the
joke, and sometimes roared with laughter, but
it was well for the urehin that his friend never
found him ont. This same man was really
wounded afterward, and while l was removing
the bullet from beneath the skin OF his back,
the same "urchin was standing by, and the
moment | rad extracted the hullet-a small
spherical Onc-rhe boy held out - his friend
6-pound cannon ball saying: See what the
doctor has cut out o ye!' This occurred
while my back was turned; but on hearing the
remark, i looked around. apd saw the boy

GOOD SOLDIERS MAKE ORDERLY CITIZENS

GOOD SOLDIERS MAKE ORDERLY CITIZENS.
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
In 1861, while company after company and
regiment after regiment were marching to the
'front.' there were some old maids and all of the
eccentric old fOeiCs who dreaded our return, be-
cause the war was demOralizing institution.
They said they would have to put combination
locks on their barn doors, place a WatChman
over their chicken coop and lock the pigs III the
cellar if they expected to have any Christmas,
for the boys would be so demOralized and lawleSs
that they would steal everything thcy could lay
their hands on. Eighteen years OF social andciyil
life have convinced them that such is not the
case; also that there is no class or body Of men
that present to the public so good deport-
ment or have gained a more noble reputation
fact in looking over the criminal record find
that ninety-tVc per cent of the crimes are COM
mittcd by men that never carried a knapsack
or shouldered a muskct. Therefore, J say that
the war was not demoralizing, and l believe
that if Nse comrades continue to march on the
line of moral principles, with the TRIBUNE as
our leader, we snail ere long receive our just
dues from the Government When Congress
passes the bills that are already in their hands
which affect the interests of disabled soldiers,
we may feel that the splendid promises made
to us at the time of our enlistment are begin
ming to be fulfilled. God speed the TRIBUNE
