While over the Southland the voices
Of speakers and poets let fall
The accents of praise for the chieftain
So richly deserving it all,
I think it would please the great captain,
If he could look down here and set
That some one remembers his heroes -
The fellows that tramped it with Lee.
How oft in hiN tent at the midnight
Ho plotted the brilliant campaign!
How oft ere the daylight was dawning,

How oft they rushed into battle,

Though mighty the brain in its schem-

I he foot at its bidding must run;
And vict'rieson paper are proven

So, great as the captain we honor,
( And great may hi* fame ever be! i
'Tis shared by the shaggy old heroes
The fellows that tramped it with Lee.

To pass out of life with ;i smile,
A horo secure of his laurels; '
Hut to sweat with the rank and the
file,
And afterwards live and he patient,
Still struggling, appeareth to me
Yet nobler; and such be the fellows
The fellows that tramped ii with Lee.
They followed their dauntless com-
mander
Him who to the warrior's an
i Jnited the lore of the scholar
And the patriot's temperate heart;
And yet in their zealous devotion
Thesi men were as great as he
These grizzled, grim, veteran soldiers,

Powers had told him that they

Golden implicated Governor
Taylor, swearing that Taylor had
said to him and Powers:

first and then I will call out the

The ('itizen is indebted to Mr.

samples of tohaco, raised near
Alleyton, which in our judgment.,
is as fine as can bo raised any-

samples were raised from seed of
the Kentucky broad-leaf, and
that it is cultivated and grows off
like it was at homo in our soil.

some paper may be observed to
be unduly excited over politics,

great majority of the papers are
