Miss Matilda Fennell.—South Caroline.
First to rise against oppression.
In this glorious Southern band.
Home of dead and living heroes,
South Carolina takes her stand.
Miss Lucinda Frazier—Florida.
And I come with greeting sisters.
Where, amid her orange bowers,
Waves fair Florida her sceptre.
Crowned with rarest, sweetest flowers.
Miss Alice Eaton—Georgia.
Loland Georgia uprising,
Burning with the blood of yore,
Sends her children forth to conquer
Peace from haughty foes once more 1
Mms Kate Fennell—Alabama.
In the new born arch of glory.
Lo 1 where shines the central star,
Alabama, and her radiance,
Never cloud of shame shall mar.
Miss Cornie Caperton—Mississippi.
Sisters! room for Mississippi!
Well she knows the martial strain;
She has marched of old to battle.
She will strike her foes again ! —
Miss Sallie Snodgrass—Louisiana.
A voice from Louisiana,
Lo! her brave sons arise,
Armed and ready for the conflict,
Stern defiance in their eyes !
Miss Parthenia Bryant—Texas.
Texas, youngest mid her sisters,
Joins her earnest voice to theirs ;
Forth she tends her gallant Rangers,
With her blessings and prayers.
Miss Sallie Fennell—Virginia.
Wave, wave on high your banners !
For the -“Old Dominion” comes,
With the lightning speaks the thunder ;
Lo! where sounds her army’s drums,
Miss Sallie Carter—Arkansas.
Long Arkansas waited, hoping,
Clinging to the flag of stars,
Now, she t°ars it down forever,
Ho ! away then for the wars.
Miss Jennie Armstrong—North Carolina.
Over vale, and over mountain,
Pealing forth in triumph high,
Comes a lofty swell of music.
The “Old North State’s” battle cry. j
Miss Kate Mattox—Tennessee.
Last but far from least among ye,
Spartan band of brave and free :
, Like a whirlwind in her anger,
Wheels in line old Tennessee !
