between w ashington and captured city is
curious enough, and we presume will not be

Extracts From a soldiers Letter

I" understand that the Secretary
of War has issued a proclamation to
raise negro regiments as. fast as can
be done. Well, let them take our
places with Massachusetts Abolition,
lists, and between them and the teb.
els be it. Let them fight it out, bur
don't put the niggers with US. We
have seen enough Of that. We are
treated with scotn and disgrace. We
can see it just as plain as any body.
Our eyes are NOT entirely closed yet,
and | don't think they will be soon.
The soldiers are dying off like rotten
sheep, while the negroes are used
like gentlemen, and have the best to
eat that the land can afford; and they
can be stuck upon horseback, while
US. poor devils musttootsit, z That is
the way to maintain the Union, and
