sin. Many of those negroes were brought
liz here by Gen. Williams own order, from
plantations where we took confiscated
property. The property and houses were
burned, and the negroes brought into
camp. Now, the question arises, hes Gen.
Williams the right to squander govern
ment property in that way for, by com
mon consent, slaves are allowed to be
property, and as s1ch are liable to confis
cation, the same as any other property
\ w, when Gen. Williams took those
slaves from those plantations, they be-
longed to the United States and has he
the right to return them to rebels, without
an order from the government?
