With his gallant invaders behind him!"

"Jackson's commissary" was a favorite butt for the shafts of rebel humor. Another "Mother Goose" thus pictures him:

"John Pope came down to our town

And thought him wondrous wise;

He jumped into a 'skeeter swamp

And started writing lies.

But when he found his lies were out—

With all his might and main

He changed his base to another place,

And began to lie again!"
