Negroes as Soldiers,
j. II. SPENCER.

We can hardly drop the historical ar
gument to prove the capacity Of negroes
to make efficient soldiers, without illus
trating it from our own history. Madi-
son was the resident of slave state, and
of course, was the observer Of the char
acteri5tics of the negro slave. He, at a
dark period of the revolution, proposed
the employment Of slaves as soldiers
In the latter part of 1880, he wrote to a
member OF the Virginia Legislature
Would it not be as well to HJerate and
make soldiers at once of the blacks them
selves, as to make them instruments for
enlisting white soldiers" lie further
suggests plan for their organization and
embodiment with white men. Hamilton
also concurred with Madison in the prac-
ticabiity of his idea, and in some of his
spondence urged the adoption Of the
scheme. But no general attempt was
ever made to put it in execution. From
the earliest battle in the revolution, to its
close, urgrv soldiers fought sulIanrly ia
the patriot armies. In the battle OF
Bunker Hill, says SWEET, ''when Major
Pitcairn mounted the work he exullingly
cried out We day is ours but was imme-
diately shot through by a black soldier
named Salem" A contribution was
raised for Salem, and he was presented
to Washington for having performed the
exploit. There were several other col
ored soldiers in the battle. AT the close
of the war, John Hancock presented to
one colored company called the Bucks
of America" banner, hearing his mi
tials, as a testimonial TO their courage
and constancy through the struggle
Graydon, of Pennsylvania, in his me.
moirs, states that many of the Southern
officers disliked the New England regi-
ments because so many blacks were in
the ranks. We suppose, however, they
could bear with them SO long as they
defended Southern soil and Southern
homes.
Tristan Burgess, of Rhode Island, il
Congress, in 1923, said: AT the com.

killed. cheeks, and force your eyes TO look
upon US as we HE TO the contest, with the
sad conviction that it may be for the last
time. But so it is. Our country calls
and we must 90. We cannot stay with
out being unworthy of our fathers--un-
worthy sons of you, noble, beloved moth
ers. We cannot stay without crushing
into weak and cowardly baseness the spir'
il yourselves early kindied in our breasts
We cannot refuse TO 60 without leaving
lessons of shame and ignominy for ouT
children to learn-in place of the proud
traditions you taught US. We cannot re
fuse for your sake, without believing thai
you are changed in spirit, or that you
taught US lessons of manly duty which
you would now hinder US from doing, be
cause it will cause you pain. We canno
think so meanly of you. To do and tt
endure for God, and for our country, i,
the noblest fortune of man. If we are
true to this, it matters little whether lie
is long or short. Noble and useful deed,
may as we'll be done in youth as in old
age. An honored place in the temple o
fame may be more surely secured by 1
short life of self sacrifice, than by u Ions
life of comfortable ease.
The son that goes to the war ant
bravely meets its hardships and its per
lis, should he return, will have the proud
est history in the family, and should h,
fall, henceforth his name will be enshrin
ed in the choicest niche of memory'S tab
let. 1t will be oltener spoken in history
and in the traditions OF the family thar
any other, and the noble spirit that ami
mated his young heart, will have more
influence in forming the character of tn,
future generations Of the family, than al
that can spring from other sons who hee'
not their country'S call, but choose to fol
low their own selfish and gainful pursuits
No, mothers, no. You will not hol,
Lack your sons. You will not send then

give them fearful adieu but let you
tears be mingled with the smile tina
shows you recognise the manliness of biz
spirit, and the bravery OF his action. |
may be harder hour for him, and on,
demanding sterner courage, to turn hi,

CINCINNATI, Jan. 20. A combined
attack was made to-day on Gen. Zoll-
Golfers intrenchments at Mill Springs,
Wayne Co., KY, resulting in complete
victory for our troops. The stars aud
stripes now float over the Notifications.
We captured all their camp property and
a large number of prisoners. Our loss
is heavy. General ZolIicofer's dead
body is in the hands Of our troops.
The Lexington correspondent of tho
Commercial gives the following account
of Sundays battle: General ZoIicoiFer,
learning that federal forces had appeared
in his rear, marched out Of his entrench-
ments, at 3 o'clock on Sunday morning,
and attacked General Schoepf in his
camp. The pickets were driven in at an
early hour, and the attack was made be-
fore daylight.
The battle is reported to have ragged
with great fury until 3 in the afternoon,
when Gen. Zollicoifer having been killed
the whole force Of the rebels fled in con.
fusion to their camp. The loss is not
stated, but it is thought TO be heavy.
The Battle Peyton killed is the son Of
the ex-member of Congress from Ten.
nessee Of that name. Our victory has
been very decisive, and will result in tie
rout of the whole rebel force defending
the right flank Of Bowling Green.
LouIsvILL, Jan 20. The recent fight
took place on Sunday, instead OF Satur-
day morning Gen. Thomas, on Sunday
afternoon followed up the rebels 10 :her
intrenchmenrs, sixteen miles from hisown
camp, and when about to attack them this
morning, he found their intrenchments
deserted, the rebels having left all their
cannon, quariermaster's stores, tents,
horses and wagons, which fell into our
hands.
The rebels in dispensing had crossed
the Cumberland in steamboat and nine
barges at White Oak Creek, opposite
Their encampment ut Mill Greek. The
los Of the rebels was 27j 10 killed and
wounded. Among the killed were Gen.
Zolcofer and Bailie peytor. The 10Th
Indiana lost IS in killed and wounded.
Nothing further Of the Federal loss has
yet reached here,

Letter from j. H. Spencer.

The following is portion OF letter
received by L. E. Stafford Of Barton
Landing, from signal staff officer J. II.
Spencer, who was detached from the Min.
nesota First Regiment for that duty
lie is an Orleans county boy, and has
many relatives and friends that will be
glad to hear from him.-ED.
SIGNAL STATION,
PoolsviIle, Nd, January 4, CO.
About the tenth of September | was
left in charge of this station. This |
considered compliment to me, for it is
one Of the most impo tant stations Of the
line. l have been doing signal duty at
this station since that tme. The station
is about one hundred rods from General
Stones headquarters, very pleasantly To-
Gated. | have the credit of having the
best eye for reading night signals or day
signals, at long distances, OF any officer
on the line. About three weeks ago
was at the Seneca Signal Station and
read signal made by six foot flag on
Mary land Heights, opposite Harper,
Ferry, distance in an air line OF about
thirty.fye miles. |: was clear day, and
had a very powerful glass--not OF
brandy. There was no one else that
could see the flag distinct enough TO make
out what il was.
On the tenth of December | was de-
tailed as signal instructor to introduce day
and night countersign signals in General
Stones division. In view of the grave
responsibility resting upon the one who
introduces the countersign signals,
would have wished that this duty had
been assigned to some other person.
The signals are taught TO the Adjutant,
Sergeant Major and color Sergeants OF
each regiment and military organization
in the division. | commenced the duty
with some misgivings, but l have sue.
ceeded in doing the duty ia a satisfactory
manner, and have reported TO headquar-
tiers each regiment and organization per-
tanning to the division to which / was
assigned, has carefully instructed officers
and is fully supplied and equipped with
