White or Black officers. ...That's the
Question.

We see that the Aboltionlsts In Congress dis
agree on one point In relation to the negro
soldier bill. II is pity that this should be the
case, and we trust the free negro philanthro-
pists will be able speedily, If they have DO;
done 60 already, to effect compromise.
The point In dispute is this: A part Of those
Congressmen vino favor the African Army bill,
Mant the black regiments, brigades and divis'
ious to be ofRcsred and commanded altogether
BY white men. They say they cans quite
stomach the idea Of having in the service Of
the United States negro Colonels, Brigadier
and Major. Generals, and, possibly, in the course
. Of the new free negro millennium, negro
General In Chief.
On the other hard, II 10 insisted by the more
srdsnt Iovsrs of the "Americans of African
descent" that such ideas are repugnant to the
cardinal principle On which the Emancipation
proclamation 10 based, and on which. the war 10
hereafter to be conducted az I. should have
been from the beginning, namely - That
al men, white and black, red and
brown, tawny-colored and is!r-skin-
ned. ere created equal. ana should have
equal privileges. end en- equal chance to gain
social, civil or military distlnc.ion They ar
que that the black soldier shoula have the same
stimulus to his ambition as The white soldier,
and the prospect Of promotion in the ranks be
held out to him ss the reward Of courage and
fdelity Il Is furthermore insisted that deny.
ing the blacks the liberty OF having officers Of
their own color will discourage negro enlist
msnts, may produce desertions and mut!ny
among the black recruits. and viii degrade the
woody heads as effectually as the mos: invst'
crate prejudice against color could desire.
The reader can decide for himself which Of
these sides, II either, has the best Of the argu
msnt. For ourselves We have noinclination to
take par. 10 such dispute, much less to set al
umpire In the case. The negro soldier project
is an Abolition concern throughout; let them FIX
It up In their own way. Ifthey quarrel about H.
10 is abroil in their own household with which
We have nothing to do We are merely look
ess-on.

Old Ben. Wade Elected Senator.

The Abolltionists In the Ohio Legislature

of the people Of Ohio. This Ia another of the
wicked sots Of abolition, shelving their utter

Union, or the voice Of the people. The ques-
ton OF bis reelection was directly before the
people of the State last fall, and II we had had

defeated by an overwhelming majority. His
election is an outrage and an Insult to the State.
He lie one Of the leading disunionists In the ma.
tion. AS early &c 1856 he declared, in speech
In Maine, that the Union was already divided,
and yet these pretended Union men would vote
for no other candidate. The great Abolition.
ist and dsunIonist, Ben. Wade, was the only
man they would vote for. This hosry- headed
old sinner Ia to disgrace Ohio for another elk
years, and continue his traitorous efforts to de-
stroy the Union permanently. "No union with
shareholders" has been his motto for years
down with the Union, or slavery. No matter
about the Constitution, and lie sacred obliga-
tions, with Wade and bis followers. No mat

The 76tn Ohio, It seems, bore q glorious part
in the glorious victory at Arkansas Post, and
some of our brave boys, alaa! did not live to
see our triumphant banner floating over the
works of the rebels. Among the wounded is
Lieut. Col. Woods. Fortunately his wound is
only slight. The ball seems to have had very
serious intent, but was TUNED aside from its
the barrel about midway and glanced thence to
his arm, bending the barrel, and tearing open
the sleeve Of bic coat, and also tearing little
into the flesh. 1t is probable that his pistol
saved him from o much more serious disaster.
