CAPTAIN
•fltilltary Nan in ,
Dixie.
BY A. N. ROUND.
September eighteenth, sixty-two,
From home mid friends.wo parted
We. bade' adieu • fo - 16fed ones there, -
• And offfor Dixie started; - -
WerWere'-weltsuppliecrwitlioffieers,
- Whose dames I scorn to
use
-But call me captain, Barnacle;
And the others what you chaos©.
Biit 'tis of our noble Captain,"
I have the most to say,
So.by yoni leave at present,
The rest are laid away.
Now kind . friends give attention,.
And if perchance I. rend,
Remember-his because
•MyCaptairilias gone home.
We landed first in Harrisburg;
Where Dutch :we thick as fleas,
And here our noble Captain,
-Enjoyed himself at ease. •
For there the -Dutch "Pie women,"
:And every straggling thing, • •
Collected thick atound us,
- Like ducks arOnd a spring.
. _
Our Captain liVes in splendor,
• And scarcely thought of home, -
For thus he reasoned' to himself,
pot'obliged to roam.
If things, go-not- to my liking,
And I AlQnot wish to.stay;
resign My commission,
And quickly speed away. .
•
But so long ad-good food's plenty,
And more forthcoming soon,
I.'t•ah live Off.of the company,
'''Much cheaper than at home;
For besides expense of eating,„
• My living costs me, haught,,
And I receive large . wages,
As a ruaia of gains - ought.
My men receive large rations, '
' And-much more than they need,
And surely me their Captain,'
They can afford to feed;
SO long as money's money,
' I can't afford to bny, •
And see my men all feasting, -
And more rations lying by.
So IT eat up the . sUrplns,
And save my money.:too,
And ifWe'ever cowe.to . want,
I'll:see what I can do.
So long as breakfast's early,
And dinner comes at noon,
I'll stay witT my company,
And play not the poltroon.
Twas thus our Captain reasoned *
• AS his actions proved too true,
Tis that which after this was done,
- . That I'm now telling you ;
:For when we got to Wushinaion.
. 'Where Mule beef wa.s;otir Zier, . -
Our Captain was not satisfied, • -
Because 114 could not fry it.
He then resolved that he would not stay ,
And be so much imposed : on, .
'He'd get diScharged and travel honie,
. With his new suit of clothes on.
He had a:coat, a paii of pants,
• And overcoat.around him,
Long legged boots, au extra .vest,
• And a hat the company found him.
When he got to Occocrirm,
Where rebels lay on picket, -
Twas there our Captain spread himself,
And started for the thicket ;
With thumbs extended in
- the air, • '
- And coat-tails straight behind him,
His horse's bead towards Washington ;
40r dust you could not find him.
His..countenance was woe &gone,
visage was matt solemn,
As loud he cried, " halt-comp_nny 8.,
- gill I get to the head of the c9luMn."
Two wiles from Stafford we encamped,
Where mud and pines were plenty;
If Fin not mist aken.in the-date,
Decemher three and twenty.
• ,Our Captain herd was taken sick, •
• The thought of home and pleasure—
Because 'he could not then be there,
He suffered beyond measure.
.His once robust an 'stately form;
Wa's dwindled to a shadow, _
His eves forgot their natural hue, ,
And looked like daisies in a meadow.
,Our homesick Captain soon resigned,
And asked of Thiele Sam,
To be discharged - and carried home,
- Just like any-otherman ;
° And Uncle Sam that good old soul;
The ruler of the Nation, '
Concind,ed to let our Captain go, '
And= thereby save much ration.
But stPl our Captain could not rest,
He -- studied night and day, •
-To find what he could get for us,
For he meant to make it pay ;
lie labored hard is we all know,. '
. And got wise men to figure, i -
- And they declared our Captain must'
Exchange us-fora nigger,
Well as it chanced one stormy day,
A negro black and witty,
Came toddling up from down belotr,- .
• From some great Southein City.
Oar Captain saw and liked the style;
And thoughythat he would-like him,
Andin exchange for this one 'nig ; •
Gitre two and eighty -white -men.
Our Captain, long mayheitay, _
For surely we:a-not-need hii
And for wh 7 ati little lie would do,'
We could not afford toleed him.
Long live our noble Burnacle i
: Our eaPinin long live he ; . -

DEAR F.A.II:ER :- 44 . WC have met the

blunder
.has been Made, all through the
wilifiilness, of BriadierGeu. Gilbert. • We
arrived at Franklin; Tenn., 18 miles from
Nash Ville, o n ' the 18th of ,February, and
Were immed i ately, ordered in advance , to
scout and pieket—, +,4t thiS time Gen. Gil
bert's command lay on the banks of Har
peth rivet on .-the other side .fira&, the
town of FrUpklin, small force, of the
enemy. We fo'rded the river, drove out
the *enernv,l and took possession of the
town. Aftdr posting a strong picket, we
laid out
.outt Camp ; with .the intention of
remaining. same tine. -- I said we forded
.the river. •• This•we were compelled to do,
paving all

passed with molestation.. We daily
made reoeilnoissances and alwayS came
across . more

were alwayS i vietorions. From prisoners
taken and 'he everlasting contrabands
that came into our lines,' we learned that!
a large fore° Under Van Dorn was en;
camped at Sprighill, all of Which was re
ported to, the General,, but not 'believed:
On Wednasday, March 4th, san - order

battle on my, own hook. The Men all
seemed anxiodsto try the range of their
