Yankee Cruelty to Negroes.

The Yankees profess to have great
regard for poor negroes of the South
The following will serve to give some idea
of the late treatment the latter received
when they fell into the hands of the
enemy.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune tells the following--a
specimen of Yankee humanity to the
"poor" slave:
The sutler Of the regiment had been in
the habit Of vending liquors to the men
with the knowledge and implied, if not
direct, consent Of the Colonel for which
he demanded and received exorbitant
prices. Several of the men got passes and
went outside of the camp, and after dill
gent search, found three slaves, of whom
they got some whisky, but not until after
much entreaty. This fact coming to the
knowledge of Col. German, he sent a
guard to arrest the offenders and bring
them into camp, which was done.
The Colonel-"to make an example Of
them," he said-had two of them tied Sc.
curely to some posts, and then directed
that they should receive a number OF
lashes at the hands of the men to whom
they had sold the iquor--twenty-one
lashes each, think, was the allotment.
The remaining negro was spared on ac-
count of his extreme age" The Colonel
stood by while the men were being whip
ped, cursing the whippers for not striking
hard enough; and to bystander, whose
feelings revolted at the inhumanity, and
who gave utterance thereto, the master"
said characterization, sir, insubordina-
ton; another word from you, and Cd
d-n my soul to hi if don't have you
whipped too"
