It would hardly be supposed that the
very philanthropic, Christian editor Of the
Gazette In the above paragraph was speak.
ing Of President Lineola' wise, appropriate,
: humanitarian order, threatening the Rebel
Coufederacy with retaliation for ths. cold
blooded murder Of Union soldiers, taken
prisoners in battle, or their sale into slavery; |
and yet this is 20. 1t is q we'll known fact
that at the battle Of Stone River the rebels
in cold blood murdered every free colored
man they captured, although these colored
men were non. combatants, the servants OF
officers, who had taken them With them
! from their homes in the free States. HUI
manity was horror.stricken at the outrage,
and demanded d just retaliation but this
feudish piece Of paganism was permitted
to pass with simple rebuke on the part Of
our Government. Since then, however,
the persistent, organized efforts of large
party in the North to prevent the Govern
! ment from getting white volunteers, as well
as the propriety Of converting what had
heretofore been source Of strength to the
I rebellion into an instrument for it's over.
Throw, have influenced the Government in
e determining to enlist into the service the
i slaves of the rebels, made free by the ad
n vance Of our armies, and the free colored
If men Of the North. Time has demonstrated
is the wisdom Of the policy, and in the brave,
u daring, terrible charge Of the End Louisiana
