THE NEGRO IN THE WAR.

There is no evidence that the confed-
crates are arming their negroes, or that
they have determined to do it. The SUBJ
ject is up for discussion among them ;
public meeting in Mississippi lately rec
ommended the arming of fifty thousand
slaves, and the Georgia and Alabama leg
islatures have passed resolution in favor
Of employing negroes in the military ser
vice, as laborers merely; this is as far as
the rebels have got in the matter Of in
PRODUCING the negro into the war. The
southern papers are decidedly against the
measure. Nevertheless it is not improb-
that it may be adopted. 1t will be the der
nier resort manifestly, because to make a
soldier Of the slave is to free him, and
when the confederaey calls on the negroes
to help achieve its independence it will
by that act announce that it has abandon
ed the great object for which independence
was sought, the strength and permanenc
Of the peculiar institution. And when
the time comes that the rebels shall de-
spair of success without the aid of the ne
gro, the serious question for them will be
whether they can trust their slaves with
arms. The London Index, the rebel or
gan in England, edited under the eye Of
Mr.. Mason, has lately published remark
able article on the subject, In which it is
said that public opinion in the South is
ripening for the measure, and it is argued
that the negro's courage, implicit ooedi.
Lamoille newsdealer. [volume] (Hyde Park, Vt.) 1860-1877, 1863-10-07

cnco and insensibility to danger fit him
to become an excellent soldier. The only
objection the Index sees to the measure is
the fact that emancipation must 60 with
it. and II cannot disguise the terrible
danger Of thus subverting at one blow the
whole social fabric Of great country"
The object of the Index evidently is to
create belief that emancipation is likely
to take place in the South under confed,
crate rule and thus TO remove the great
objection felt in England to the recogni
tion Of the confederacy. Nevertheless IL
goes to confirm the fact that the rebel
leaders are seriously considering the ques-
tion of armiug the slaves, and that they
are likely to resort TO so doubtful and des-g
perate measure when all other resources
fail them. '
1t is we'll that we have the start of them.
We have only some twenty negro regi.
ments actually in the field, but many
more are organizing, and it is believed
that by the first of January we shall
have fifty thousand black troops armed
and in SO forward state of discipline az
to be capable Of valuable service. The
government is now Systematically enlist.
ing slaves, not only in Maryland, but in
Tennessee, paying to loyal masters for in :
demnity the $500 bounty. and insuring
the slaves their freedom. Recruiting sta
tions have been opened at Nashville, Gall
attn, and Murfreesboro in Tennessee, and
the enterprise is to be pushed vigorously.
No such effort in Kentucky is yet an
nounced, and it may be doubtful whether
the government will consider it prudent
to put the loyalty of the shareholders in
that state to so severe test The obvi-
Gus effect of the enlistment of slaves in
the border states is to use up slavery very
rapidly. 1t will make little difference
whether Maryland and Tennessee 60 for
immediate or gradual emancipation, or
against the measure altogether; if the
able bodied slaves of these states are en-
listed as soldiers, the system must soon
die out. In Maryland, under this enlist
ment scheme and the free escape Of slaves,
the Baltimore American says, the system
is already so far gone that pretty much
all that remains to do is merely to per-
form some sort of requiem or dirge over
its remains. ."-SpringfeM Republican.

PICKET CAMP ON THE RAPpAHANNoCK,
September goth, 1858. ID
Dear Express Our regiment has been
on the battlefield again, and perhaps your
readers would like to know something
more particular concerning its action than
can be learned from the report Of the gen.
eral engagement. .' ~
Our division Of cavalry had been occu-'
plying the same locality for more than q
week. This was so unusual that the or
der to prepare to march did not greatly
surprise us. 1t took nearly half day
to call in the pickets and get ready in our
regiment Various were the speculations
among the men as to our destination, but
of course We were kept in the usual igno-
rance of the soldier. Night found the
brigade bivouacked near Kelly's Ford. and
then most were certain our destination was
across the river. Early as the heavy
shower of the next morning Sunday, the
18th would permit. we did cross. After
little ransackiDg of the vicinity the
whole force moved off in column. Our
regiment was placed near the rear. Be-
fore very long the order cnme to trot.,
Soon after the noise of cannon on, our
right broke in through the green woods.
Still we hurried on and passed the ,ambu-,
lance train left in the rear Next came
wounded men and horses, falling back
from the conflict In moment more we
emerged into view Of our cannon, and the
hurrying regiments of another cavalry
division. We knew the enemy we're fall
ing back, but, instead Of joining the con-
fict here, we turned further to the left.
keeping body Of forest between VA and
the combattants. Still we hurried on, f.
nally turning to the right and passing in
to the woods. Rebel shell now burst over
our heads, and before VIC had all passed
through, several fell amongst the ranks.
No one was injured here and whom we
came out into the open country we were
in full view of Culpepper and the whole
contest. II was the finest cavalry fght
