Stern battery and tower,
Of manly strength and power,

But brightest falls on Moultrie's walls,
Forever there to rest in glory,
A hallowed light--on buttress height--
Oh, fort, beloved and hoary!
Rest _there_ and tell that _faith_
Shall never suffer scaith;
_Rest there_-and glow afar--
_Hope's ever-burning star!_

Charleston Mercury




Only One Killed.

By Julia L. Keyes, Montgomery, Ala.



Only one killed--in company B,
'Twas a trifling loss--one man!
A charge of the bold and dashing Lee--
While merry enough it was, to see
The enemy, as he ran.

Only one killed upon our side--
