Mr. Wickliffe addressed the House on the
subject. Instead of organized aud parad-
ing negroes Gen. Hunter ought to have
prepared his troops to prevent the retreat
from James Island II was n miserable
policy TO muster runaway blacks into the
service. If twenty millions OF freemeu
were not able TO suppress a rebellion Of
SIX millions of white men let the acknowl-
edgement be at once made.
Mr. Mallory, of KY, said no man con
demued more than he did, the letter Of
Gen. Hunter and the system lnauguraled
by that General, of armIug negroes. II
was an outrage on humanity. He shrunk
from II. The House ought to be forever
ashamed of It's conduct. The other day

graceful to the American Congress

duet of Hunter would be repudiAIed.

field
Mr.. Stevens, l intend to place the blame
exactly where II belongs. ! am no syco-
phaut and parasite. What think l say. As
these things have been perpetrated ever
and over again without rebuke from ihe
appointing power, le,.ve the House and
world TO understand where the responsibil-
ity rests.
Mr.. Kellogg-does the gentleman charge
this on the administration
Mr.. Steveng-I charge 1t OF the manage
ment OF the war and the different branch
es of the Administration ! DO not mean
to hatter. believe the President honest:
bu: being OF yielding disposition, has
fallen under the malign iufueace of Ken
lucky councils, and therefore has adopted
the policy ] rebuke-
