has the following sensible remarks In regard to
the inevitable negro question 'zid
s II the Rebels, in the Rebel States, have an In
stitut;on among them which they cannot man
age in "a time of civil warr-whieh indeed is not
suited to condition Of civil vsr-she fault Is
their own and upon them must fan the nisfor-
tune. They began the war, and thus far have
succeeded in keeping its calamities beyond their
tsrsisorieA If now We carry the war home to
them, let the full measure of ito desolation fall
unon their guilty heads. Do not trouble your
selves about confscdtion policy. sConascation
will not defeat the rebel armies. The courts
confscate, the armies subdue tho rebels, and es.
tablish courts. You are not within reach Of the
negroes Of the rebels. The negroes are beyond
and behind their battalions and their f6rtifca-
tionsu Defeat their battalions, and occupy their
fOrtiicati0ns.- End the war, end the States will
dispose of the negroes. The Government does
not want to buy negroes nor sell them. What,
then, shall we do with them ? Just this: Let
them aione. II they como to camp or ON ship

They are bound in and to the States, not to the
Federal Government. This is to be war of
bosles and not of procldnaations. So clay down
the shovel aud the hoe" and the negro, and 20
on with the fight. Stand back abolitionists, or
go into the ranks. We want no more talk out
of you. You have talked too much already,
Every time you speak we are compelled to add
new division to the army to put down new en-
emies you bring against us. If you will hush up,
the patriots of the nation will put an end to the
war in three months. Z.
Now, Abraham, one word to you. Turn out
Cameron put an honest man in his place; tell
Gen. Mcclellan, and all the rest of the Generals
to go to fighting We will all take take such
weapons as we have, and you seize your favorite
weapon-a rail, and we will all 60 down upon
this internal rebellion, and whip the devil out of
it in short metre; embrace, kiss and make
friends with our Southern brethren, and then,
altogether, join in and slap John Bull in the
face, and enforce the Monroe doctrine against
all Europe combined. d ti

ington, General Jackson, and the flag of the
Union, expect every man to do his duty.
