Put it Through.
Loose not one single band,
Binding our Union grand,
Woe is on all the land
If you do.Chorus –
Long as the rebels can,
We can fight, man to man,
Traitors the war began,
Put it through.Stop not for parley, when
Knaves fall on honest men;
Blow for flow give again, –
Three for two!Till the last foe is dead,
Or, over all is spread,
Proudly the white and red,
And the blue.Law shall in triumph reign,
Order shall come again,
Courage and hope remain,
To the True.

SEE THE BATTLE. –
“Here’s your Daily Times — all about the battle!” cried a newsboy the other day, vending his wares.
An individual with shoulder-straps, hearing the exciting announcement, purchased a copy, and hastily glancing at the headlines of the dispatches, remarked to the dealer in afternoon literature, “Where’s all about the battle? I can’t see it.”
“No,” said the boy, “and you never will see it as long as you hang round this city.”
