upon the rising of the sun; but sudden
and torcible emancipation, resulting
from the "eflOrts the negroes may make

that he proposes to excite the negroes
OF the Southern plantations to murder
the families OF their masters while these
are engaged in the war The concep-
ton of such crime is horrible. The
employment of Indians sinks to a level
with civilized warfare in comparison
