WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THEM General
Butler has writer letter to the Secretary Of
War, which draws the attention of the country to
one OF she incidental issues Of the war which
neither the government or the people will be able
to ignore or overlook. The question which
General Butler discusses is what shall be done
with the black peoplewho come into our camps'
Ii seems that he has nine hundred Of these refu-
gees now near his camp at Fortress Monroe, Of
whom three hundred are able bodied men, and
the rest women, children and aged persons And
0more coming inn
General Butler shows that these negroes have
been deserted by their masters and have not the
opportunity, owing to the disturbance caused by
the rebellion, to earn their own subsistence II
collected In great numbers. He argues that they
must be considered by the government not as
things, property-but as men and women. And he
thus sums up bis opinion to the duty of the
government In this matter:
SIN loyal state would put down servile In
surrection In state Of rebellion would confis-
cate that which was used to oppose my arms, and
take all that property which constituted the wealth
of that state and furnished the means by which
the war Is prosecuted, besides being the cause of
the war; and IT, In so doing 1t should be objected
that human beings were brought to the free enioy-
ment Of life liberty and the pursuit OF happ ness
such objection might not require much considera.
