The white men ought to do one ol two things. They should uiakt up th?? : itc's full quota of troop* immedi itely or they should qui! and lot the Negroes try their hand. This State ha.s nothing to bo proud of iu its conduct in thie war, so far. Wo have not sent our quota. There has been s miserable lot of scheming and wire pulling and taking under ^ hold.* to get otlic'es. .V purently some people have been saying and doing all they CO .Id to prevent men from enlisting. There ? nas been a good deal ol loose, in.subordinate and foolish talk among men and officers of the one piece of a. regiment *ve have and idiotic newspaper? have helped. it all they could by pub V li hing every scrap of > t tattl at:' camp gambling t: y t-ou! ! got hold ol.

As it is, there seems I to he a tendency to teach our young men ' i tie slothful, sullen,unambitious , and narrow minded, brawlers and braggarts in time of peace,laggards in i . time oi war, doing nothing but to tiuil fault and gel in somebody's way. Tin men who return from the army will bring1 with them many and broad , ideas. They will he better in mind, body ami spirit. They will bring with them complete understanding of the truth that they are living, strong and responsible parts of the strongest, cleanest, freest and grandest country . and people this world has ever seen. They will route with better and clearer ideas than they have ever had of order, diseipline and duty and will make the best eiti/.ens we v. ill have.
