name has been selected by our esteemed colonel, and one that will be welcomed by you all, and that is the honorable name of the gallant commander of our brigade--Colonel Hunter. Therefore, the great gun shall hereafter answer to its name, the Hunter Gun. Now, parents anxiously listen to the first lispings of the infant's lips, and the mother's heart swells with joy when she catches the first utterance of her cherished babe, in the words mamma, mamma; but here I shall guarantee to you that this promising boy will speak for the first time, in loud, clear accents, those endearing words, papa, papa, papa--patria mia, patria mia--and, in name, as in effect, he will hunt traitors from this fort, while the echo of his voice will be as sweet music, inviting the children of Columbia to share the comforts of his father's home; and thus may he soon speak to the glory of the Stars and Stripes, honor to the name that he bears, and lasting credit to the Sixty-Ninth.--Louisville Journal, June 25.

blessings may share. Float freely forever, Our banner of stars; Wave, wave on the breath Of freemen's huzzas. Our country forever, let time tell the story, Our country forever, unending her glory. Huzza, huzza, huzza. Our country forever; glad voice of the nation, Whose liberty cost the rich ransom of blood; Heav'n hasten the day of the world's liberation, When Freedom shall triumph on field and on flood. Float freely forever, Our banner of stars, Wave, wave on the breath Of freemen's huzzas. Our country forever, let time tell the story, Our country forever, unending her glory. Huzza, huzza, huzza. Our country forever; we swear 'neath the blue, Thy name and thy fame bright and spotless shall be! Thine honor we'll guard-hearts and hands ever true, Columbia! we owe all and give all to thee. Float freely forever, Our banner of stars; Wave, wave on the breath, Of freemen's huzzas. Our country forever, let time tell the story, Our country forever, unending her glory. Huzza, huzza, huzza.

63. Cotton is King. Cotton is King. Tired of her Queen, Britain is seen Gazing far o'er To Columbia's shore; Where, lying prone, Hurled from his throne, Robbed of his power, Brought to his hour, Changed to a thing, Lies the old King. Cotton is King; And Albion's throne, Now scarce her own, Rocks in a swing, Spun by the King She, in her pride, Was wont to deride; Crying, with scorn, “Lo! the base-born Have chosen the thing Cotton for King!” Cotton is King. Let her beware, Lest, caught in a snare, While she bends low Homage to show, Far o'er the main Should sweep the refrain: “Britain is down, Robbed of her crown, And the base thing Cotton is King!” M. A. New York, June 17

armies stood, Behold! the angel in command-- How soldierly his word: “I'm captain of the hosts!” he said, With sword drawn in his hand, and led Unseen by Joshua before, To victory all the tribes of war. And so, when Syria's guilty king, 'Gainst Israel led the foe, And omens dire began to sprint From out that threatening woe; “Fear not,” said Israel's prophet bold, “Our numbers cannot now be told.” And lo! the mount of vision came, With hosts and chariots of flame! And shall not fair Columbia, too, Land of the brave and free, Her ancient heroes wake anew To life — to Liberty? Ho! all ye martyred sons of flame, Statesmen and warriors of fame, Filled be the air afresh with fire, Which your immortal minds inspire. And when in conflict with the foe, The nations reel and rock, Trembling as if beneath the blow Of some tremendous shock, Remember, 'tis the Lord that fights; He rules the deeps, He crowns the heights, Sends the destroying angel forth, Or heaven's strong legions b

68. the war slogan. Dedicated to Captain M'Mullen's Rangers. McGregor's Gathering. Columbia is calling her sons to the border, Rouse, rouse, ye brave hearts, to conquer or die; Revenge on the Southron, and death to the traitor-- Our Union forever, the slogan we cry. Then gather! gather! gather! Then gather! gather! gather! While leaves on the forest, or foam on the river, Our Union, despite them, shall flourish forever! They trample her banner, and murder her freemen; They curse us as cowards, and swear we shall fly; Give their homes to the flames and their flesh to the ravens, Our arms, keen and gory, shall answer the lie. Then gather! gather! gather! Then gather! gather! gather! While leaves on the forest, or foam on the river, Our Union, despite them, shall flourish forever!

ich for so many years has been the symbol of might, freedom, and charity. The following toasts were drank upon the occasion:-- 1.--Abe Lincoln, the honest old miller; while he separates the chaff from the wheat, his grinding shall be done Scott free. 2.--old Abe shall be another link on (Lincoln) to our chain of Government supporters. 3.--Liholiho and Emma — the King and Queen of these islands. Heaven bless them. 4.--Let the gallant defender of Sumter have prefixed to his name Columbia; and future generations shall often look back with pride upon Columbia Anderson, (and her son.) 5.--the secession States--the corrode of a Republic. Shake off the rust, and the steel will pierce the keener. 6.--(Drank standing, and in silence.) Col. Ellsworth. A bright light quenched in the hour of deepest darkness. After the toasts had been disposed of, the company listened to some pertinent and patriotic remarks from the orator of the day, Capt. Thos. Spencer, a brief synopsis

called upon to lead! What! are ye weak in purpose and in deed? “ And dare ye shrink from acting now your part, While all the nation waits with throbbing heart? “ Oh, give us, God, the men of purpose high, And give the people one brave battle-cry-- “ A cry whose tones will wake the civic earth, And start its heroism into birth. “ Be this our watchword-let the nations hear-- Slaves nevermore shall breathe our atmosphere! “ And let our boast (the boast of England) be-- The slaves that touch Columbia's soil are free. “ Man must be man in all that makes the man-- The crowning work of God's creative plan; “ No thing debased, no slave of monstrous birth, A blighted manhood and a shame to earth. “ Strike Treason down, annihilate the wrong, Make Justice bold, and Truth and Freedom strong. “Ho, impious men! ye fight at fearful odds, Who war on Freedom; for her curse is God's.” 'Twas thus he spoke; and that brave, honest prayer, Is now an anthem on the lips of air; And earnest ca

are welcomed by fall. The birthright of manhood awaits for your slaves, But prisons and halters are waiting for knaves; And the blades of our “mud-sills” are longing to rust With their blood who would bury our stars in the dust. They die unlamented by people and laws, Whose lives are but shadows on Liberty's cause; They slumber unblest by Fraternity star, Who have blocked up the track of Humanity's car; Regarded, when dead, by the wise and the good, As shepherds regard the dead wolf in the wood; And only unhated when Heaven shall efface The mem'ry of wrong from the souls of the race. The streams may forget how they mingled our gore, And the myrtle entwine on their borders once more; The song-birds of Peace may return to our glades, And children join hands where their fathers joined blades: Columbia may rise from her trial of fire, More pure than she came from the hand of her sire; But Freedom will lift the cold finger of scorn, When History tells where her Traitors were born.

121. to arms! to arms! by Dr. Reynolds, Assistant Surgeon, Twenty-fourth N. Y. Regt., (Oswego.) Respectfully Inscribed to Gen. Van Valkenburgh, the Soldier and the Gentleman. To arms! to arms! Columbia's foe Their banners flaunt on high; To arms! to arms! and overthrow The rebel host, or die; For more than life we freemen prize The blessings freedom gives; Each hour the trembling coward dies-- 'Tis only courage lives. chorus — To arms! to arms! &c. Let cravens yield their struggling breath In agony and tears; Be ours the warrior's glorious death, 'Midst battle's joys and cheers. Let others seek a sculptured stone In consecrated ground; Our monument be foes o'erthrown Our martyred corpse around. chorus — To arms! to arms! &c. Kind Heaven to us in mercy gave One worthy of all love,-- Great Washington, the wise and brave, A man man's race above; Immortal as our heroic sage Is every law he made; The earth, the heavens, may fade from age, But his laws cannot fade. cho
