be organized into companies, and regi-
ments, and fight if they choose The
white men of the South do not disdain to
let them fight why should the white men
of the North?
This policy does not contemplate a
proclamation inviting the entire flood of
Southern negroes within our lines. 1t
simply has reference to such as escape to
our lines, or such as are abandoned by
their masters to the possession of our ar
mics in States that are still insurrectiona-
ry. And we don't know as even this pol
icy would do in the State of Tennessee,
where armed insurrection is pretty much
subdued, and it is to be hoped the inhabi-
tants are becoming loyal again. But we
see no possible objection to it in the dis
loyal and pestiferous State of South Car.
Olina, and we hope the President will ap-
prove of it, and give Gen. nunter the
necessary authority. But we are not pre-
pared to say that the blacks should be
compelled to enlist into the service.
