" To the Hon. Z. NJ. Stanton, secretary
of war: Sir have this moment recev-
ed telegram il these words, viz:
"'The secretary Of war desires to know
how soon you can raise and equip three or
four more infantry regiments, and have
them ready to be forwarded here to be arm
ed and equipped. Please answer imme-
dlately, and state the number you can raise.
81. TnoMAs, Adjutant General"
"a call so sudden and unexpected finds
me without materials for an intelligent re-
ply. Our young men are all preoccupied
with other views. Still, if real call for
three regiments is made, ! believe we can
raise them in 40 days. The arms and
equipments would need be furnished here.
Our people have never marched without
them. They go into camp while forming
into regiments, and are drilled and practic-
ed with arms and muskets as soldiers. To
attempt the other course would damoen
enthusiasm and make the men feel thew
were not soldiers but mob. Again. if our
people feel that they are going into the
South to help fight rebels who will kill and
destroy them, by all means known to sava-
ges as well as civilized men, will deceive
them by fraudulent flags of truce and lying
pretenses, as they did the Massachusetts
boys at Williamsburg, viii use tn, ir negro
slaves against them both as laborers and as
| lighting men, while they themselves must
never fire at the enemys magazine, think
they will feel the draft is heavy on their
patriotism. But if the president will sus-
tain Gen. Hunter, and recognize all men,
even black men, as legally capable of that
loyalty the blacks are waiting to manifest.
and let them fight with Gcd and human
nature on their side, the roads will swarm,
if need be, with multtudes whom New
England would pour out to obey your call.

believe that these were helpless, depend

that against your early teachings, against
your reading in history, against the very OBJ
servation Of daily life. you entertained and
cherished this monstrous mist axe that is be-
ing blotted out by the red blood from tn e
veins of your brothers? Do you not know?
Do you not remember? Go back to your
press-go back to your rostrum-and alas
sometimes 90 back to the sacred house OF
God, and see if you were not taught these
express fallaces. 1t was no accident.
tell YOU this fatal ignorance was the result
of long years Of systematic teachinS that
has brought upon this land the terrible cal
antilles which now affect it, Say what you
please, and think what you please as to the
Cause of this war-say it is slavery. say it is
Abolitionism, say it is ambition, say it is
thirst for wealth-but every man knows il

Working Negro Help to Save the Union.
From the London Morning Post.
President Lincoln has. it appears. decided
on pursuing the war with negro help. Inc
citizens of the North will not flock to his
standard The population. who have over
and over again expressed their readiness to
make every sacrifice in defense OF the I'm
ion, will not now stir finger IN its supper /,
and the Executive of the States sees himself
obliged to prop up the crum bling fabric bv
those whose political existence is denied by
the Constitution they are called on to save.
WE DOUBT IF THERE COULD BE FOUND IN THE
ENTIRE UNIVERSE MORE DEGRADED SPEC
TAcLE THAN THAT of A REGIMENT OF NEGRO
SOLDIERS FIGHTING IN SUPPORT OF THE FED
ERAL GovERNMENT. Had the South turned
to account the negro population on the bat
tlefelds as on the cotton plantations. there
would have been, however revol tiDg, some
consistency in the proceeding.
The slaves Of the South might Justly
enough take heir masters interest to heart,
as assuredly they would their own. They
might have heard, p,rchance, of the anoma-
lous position their free brethren hold in the
Northern States, and Be so utterly degraded
Gas AbolitioDis's would think) as to prefer
the one they fill. tall events, if the South
enlisted slaves in its armies, they will AT
least fight for some thing in which their per-
sonal interests were engaged. But no mo-
tive can possibly actuate the negro soldier
in the North save the bounty or the pay
which he receives from a Government which
loathes and despises him. We do not be-
lieve that any negro regiments have as yet
been actually enrolled. We hope that bet
