io a published letter urges that
tl; N- gr<> ?s of Miis St it" We
allowed to organize a regiment
ai 1 enlist under their own ollicorn.
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

This State is a part of the lnion
and ought to do Iter sh r - in
the l oion's quarrel, not only as
a tnatier of patrioti.-m at: ' duly
but sis .t matt - r f State pride.

ex^erienre of discipline and training
ami army lift* and the opportunity to

life and warfare will be the making of
matt v n tmin Manlwvml ..??
courage and ambition arc the qualit ies
a soldier's lift- develops and tliey are
j qual it ies we need and should foster
' and liiniiiatc. 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. In the
i meantime, if we cannot recruit the
regiment to its full strength ami till
our quota with white mon,l??t ns -ta,nd
hack, stop growling and give the Ncgro?
- a chance. h we are not going
to help, let n- not make mirsclvcH contemptible
ami ridiculous by hindering.
