never fly, But we'll conquer or we'll die, In defence of our happy land of Canaan. The greatest peril yet, By which our country's been beset, In this civil war which now is reigning; There's but one thing left to do, We must whip the rebel crew, And drive them from the happy land of Canaan. Way down in old Missouri, There's where General Lyon fell, And died where the bullets were a-raining; He left his gallant band, With brave Sigel in command, Now he's happy in a better land of Canaan. Col. Mulligan's brigade, They were never yet afraid, Fought at Lexington five days without complaining; Fed the rebels shell and shot, Till they out of water got, Then surrendered up their happy land of Canaan. There's the “Dutch Company,” Who are fighting for the free, When in battle every nerve they are straining; When it comes to run away, They will tell you, “Nix furstay!” They're an honor to our happy land of Canaan. I will tell you in my song, How our boys get along, Who under Colonel Williams

4. the Irish boys. At Winchester, two Irish companies, in the rebel service, refused to fire on the United States flag.--Louisville Journal. the Irish boys are bold and brave, The Irish boys are true; They love the dear old stars and stripes, The spangled field of blue. 'Tis Mulligan can tell the tale Of how they fought that day, When with the foe at Lexington They met in bloody fray. Fast whizzed the shot and murderous shell, The bullets fell like rain; But dauntless stood his brave brigade-- The heroes of the plain. Then pressed the foe in serried ranks; But not to them they yield, Hunger and thirst had done their work, Before they gave the field. Oh! honor to the Irish boys, And cheers of three times three; Old Ireland is with our side-- I wish that she were free. The Irish boys are bold and brave, The Irish boys are true; They love the dear old stars and stripes, The spangled field of blue. Oh! brave were those who nobly fought; But braver still the band Who, forced

retaken, and, assisted by other pieces which were now brought up to the edge of the crest, a terrific fire was opened on the lines of the enemy between the slope and the creek, which, finally breaking them, caused a confused retreat to the bridge. Night had now come on, putting an end to the conflict, and leaving my command in possession of the ground we had held in the morning, with the exception of the bridge. In this day's battle fell Lieutenant-Colonel Holmes, Second Georgia, and Colonel Mulligan, Fifteenth Georgia, dying as brave men should do. In the morning of the eighteenth, much sharpshooting took place, continuing all day. At nine o'clock P. M., I took up line of march for the Potomac, which river I crossed, taking with me all my artillery, wagons, and material, without any loss whatever, camping near Shepherdstown, Virginia, on the morning of the nineteenth. I have the greatest reason to be satisfied with the officers and men of my command. To my staff I am parti
