GERMAN SONGS.
TO THE EDITOrt. Sir,--Surely T.iedertafeb* will go out of fashion. No more pretty songs and warblings about "a little rosebud, rosebud red in tho hedgerow growing," or longings that a Dutchman's draught should be as deep as the rolling Zuyder Zee—the Zuyder Zee that they intended to have. We have read how they coveted it when they made, their ditch, the Kiel Canal. It was suggested that Holland should allow themto cut into her. How deep the German draught of blood has been, and she would wade through rivers of ' it—the blood of her own sons—to gain her treacherous way of spoliation and theft. Her lies wwe but a means to! all this brigandage and. thieving, to say nothing of the awful torture of mind and body, heart and soul, to innocent people. Well do tho nation? to whom honor and faith are dear declare that this evi! Power must be utterly quelled and vanquished. The German people will be well rid of tin's Prussian reign of terror, for it. never has been anything else.—l am. etc., Mcsic. September 24.
