rather 'intimated that the African

the white rebels could only whip FIVE
Abolitionists apiece. the black rebels
could "whip any ten Aholitionists. y
In fact, the rebel organ hints that n

known that Gov. Harris recently fl.
vored enlistment of slaves as well as
fec negroes, in the rebel service, and
that Gen. Pillow coincidel with him.
The scheme Of arming the negroes
was dropped only because the re-
bcls OF the Cotton States knew that II
the negroes were armed they would
certainly turn upon and slaughter
their masters. The project was too
