ANOTHER YANKEE DOODLE,
Yankee Doodle bad a mind
To whip the Southern traitors ?
Because they didn't choose , to live
On codfish and potatoei..
Yankee Doodle, doodle-doo,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
And so, to keep hie courage up,
He took a drink of Brandy.
Yankee Doodle said he found - 'v
By all the census figures,
That he could starve the rebels out, ,
If he could steel their diggers.
Yankee Doodle, doodle-doo,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
And then• he took another drink
Of Gunpowder and Brandy. .
Yankee. Doodle made a speech;
'Twos very full of feeling :
I fear, says he, I Cannot fight,
But I am good at stealing.
Yankee . Doodle, doodle-dOo,
Yankee Doodle dandy„, • '
Hurrah for Lincoln, he's the boy
To take a drop of Brandy.
Yankee 'Doodle drew hie sword,
And practised all the passes;
Come, boys, we'll take another drink
When we get to Manassas.
Yankee Doodle doodle-doe,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
They never reached M 41141,108 plain,
And never got the Brandy.
Yankee Doodle scion found out '
That Bull , Run was no trifle,
For if the, North knew how fo steel
The South.knew-how to rifle.
Yankee Doodle, doodle-doo,
' Yankee Doodle dandy,
'Tis very clear I took too much
Of that infernal Brandy.
Yankee Doodle wheeled about,
And scampered off at full run,
And such a race was never seen
As that he made at. Bull Run.
Yankee Doodle, doodle-doe,
Yank!!! Doodle dandy,
I havn , t'time to stop just now
To take a drop of Brandy,
Yankee Doodle, oh ! Tor shame, '
Your'e always intermeddling ;
Let guns alone, they're dangerous things ;
You'd better stick to peddling.
Yankee Doodle, doodle-doo,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
When next I go to Bully-Run,
thruir away the Brandy.
Yankee. Doodle, you had ought
To be a little smarter;
Instead of catching woolly.heads,
I vow you've caught a tartar.
Yankee Doodle, doodle-doo,
Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Go to hum, you've had enough
Of Rebels and of Brandy.

COTTON CULTURN IN ILLINOIS.—The
Chicago Tribune of December 23d con
tains an array of:facts which prove that
cotton can be raised in Southern Illinois
with as much facility and as profitably
as in the cotton regions of the Southern
States. The persons who have been
raising it in that region for many years,
and who have, under their careless mode
of cultivating, succeeded in obtaining
from 300 to 500 pounds per acre. At
ten cents per pound, this gives from $3O
to $5O to the acre, and reckoning eight
acres to the field hand, which is the
calculation made of the slave productions
in an official report to Congress in 1852,
we have then $240 to $4OO as. the year's
product of one hand and eight acres.

on a mere 'gait. This is really letting
to be a serious business. It is bad
enough to Waiee' time . end money—{o
say nothing of lareqb—in the coliiibinp

is added the mania, for, coloring capon

preposterous.

showed one little spot of brown: ' Some'
