Dixie. by T . M. Cooley.
This song has taken so well, that arrangements have been made to send it to our regiments, that it may be the Michigan patriots song of the campaign.--Ann Arbor (Mich.) News, June 4. Away down South, where grows the cotton, ‘Seventy-six seems quite forgotten; Far away, far away, far away, Dixie land. And men with rebel shout and thunder, Tear our good old flag asunder, Far away, far away, far away, Dixie land. Then we're bound for the land of Dixie! Hurrah!
hurrah! In Dixie land we'll take our stand, And plant our flag in Dixie! Away, away, away down South in Dixie! Away, away, away down South in Dixie! That flag — the foemen quailed before it, When our patriot fathers bore it, Far away, &c. And battle-fields are shrined in story, Where its folds were bathed in glory, Far away, &c.

Washington, June 8.--Four soldiers of the Michigan Regiment performed a very shrewd act to-day, twelve miles out from Alexandria towards Manassas Junction.
They were out prospecting, and got away too far from camp.
The sight of some rebel troopers warned them of their situation.
Three of the four concealed themselves in a hedge or thicket, and left one in the highway unarmed.
Two rebel troopers soon came up and arrested the Federal soldier.
They dismounted, and asked the Michigan man who he was. l I belong to the Michigan Regiment of Federal troops, was his reply.
Then you are our prisoner, said the troopers.
At that instant the three concealed Federal soldiers rushed from their ambush, with the exclamation--No!
You are our prisoners!
Sure enough, the Virginians were taken completely by surprise, and surrendered.
The Michigan boys are in high glee over the act.--N. Y. Evening Post, June 11.
