X Msrmon, sergeant in the a6th Ohio
Regiment, writes to a friend in Mitchell

solid truths for she benefit of The Copper

"The Negro is the grestest burden Of
the Copperheads. 1t is the prevailing
sentiment of the soldiers that slavery was
the cause of the Rebellion, and that the
cause must be destroyed to save the coun-
try. Take the negro from the Rebel and
his hopes are blasted. Form the negroes
into armies, and let them aid in crushing
out this giant Molocb. Negroes do not
bother the soldiers like they do the Cop
perheads. There are but few soldiers
who would not be willing TO charge the
Rebels and fight shoulder TO shoulder with
contrabands, if this course would aid in
gaining victories. Negroes will fight
This fact has been repeatedly tssted. To
my understanding an army of contrabands
will not only strike effective blows for the
Republic, but will save the lives OF thou
sands of white soldiers. This fact should
shut the mouth Of every croaker in the
North who does not wish to see his white
countrymen slain in battle.

Capt. Killes, the Provost Marshal, has
received notice from Gen. Curtis that
some 200 negroes are on their way up from
St. Louis, on the Gaty, which will arrive
in day or two. The question arises,
What will We do with them? There sre no
houses in the city to quarter them in, AID
it is doubtful if it would be best to keep
them in the city if there was room. We
presume Capt X. will put them in camp a
few miles from the city, aud then inform
