Our Starry Banner.

Go. fling our banner to the breeze:
Avenge at once the lost ship Maine;
And drive the foe from land and seas
The treache:ous. cruel, bastard Spain.
In triumph. let it wave in air,
With all its patriot folds unfurled;
Its stars and stripes still shining there.
The pride and hope of all the world.
Columbia knows her strength and power;
Ten million men defend her shore;
Her loyal sons from hour to hour
Can fight and win forevermore.
We know no North, we know no South;
We're one in heart and sonl today
United at the cannon's mouth
You'll find the brilliant Blue" and "Gray!'
Ten million cheers from sea to sea,
Resound upon the ambient air,
Pro.laiming Law and Liberty
For all the people everywhere.

TIMELY PATRIOTIC POETRY
The Spanish Main.


The Spanish Main. the Spanish Main
Eeeks with the blood Of countless slain,
Where argosies of virgin gold
Were boarded, with their spells untold.
The Spanish Main. the Spanish Main
With butchery is rife again.
For Spain's envenomed dagger falls
In hatred that the world appalls
The Spanish Main. the Spanish Main
with blood bedews the decks like rain;
Wild wailings from the deep arise
In curses to tn eternal skies.
The Spanish Main, the Spanish Main,
Its barbarous acts will never wane;
Its martyrs and its victims dead
Stain Spanish hands u guilty red
The Spanish Main, the Spanish Main
Awakes anew a hurricane
OF execration on the sea
Where men sank killed by treachery
The Spanish Main, the Spanish Main,
Its breakers are a constant bane
To liberty and human rights
Where tyranny and freedom fights.
The Spanish Main. the Spanish Main,
Its skeletons long sunken lain
Now that the hour Of reckoning looms
Will shake their bones in ocean tombs.
The Spanish Main, the Spanish Main,
Its pillows groan in grief and pain
At savage crimes of buccaneers,
Despite their captives' prayers and tears.
The Spanish Main. the Spanish Main.
The signs abroad are strong and plain
That earth detests such demon sin
And soon its scourging will begin.
The Spanish Main. the Spanish Main,
Its deeds cf blood mankind disdain;
The sword of God is flashing fire
And Spain shall shrink before Its ire.

ing intesting correspondence from the
First regiment in Camp Merritt, at San
Francisco under date OF the 18th:
Discipline in camp has become very
strict and the regimental court martial
presided over by Lieutenant Colonel
Slower is very busy. Seven cases were
brought before the court to-day. First
Sergeant Todd OF company l was found
guilty OF being drunk and was fined SO
and reduced TO the ranks.
Private Breese Of compay + was tried
for leaving the field hospital without
leave and was acquitted. The field hos.
pital is said to be badly m~aEaged, there
being little food and no bedding. Our
sick will therefore. be kept in the regi-
mental hospital until tie weather be-
comes more favorable.
An order which was issued to-day,
places the regiment in the brigade with
the First North Dakota, and Fifty first
Iowa under Brigadier General McCather,
who is OF the regular army. The change
was entirely satisfactory to the boys and
this order places all the officers and men.
The regiment drills every day in the
Preside military reservation within sight
Of the city Of San Francisco, the forti-
tications. parks and the famous Golden
Gate.
The whole regiment was passed out
Sunday except these on duty and spent
part Of the day at the beach. \ swim.

out in which a large number OF the boys
contested. Corporal Greene of company

they ran III a short distance and opened

About q half dozen shots were fired,

ported the attack to the flagship Of the
