NEGRO REGIMNENr IN LOUISIANA
A Now Orleans lettler says: "On Sat
urday, the 4th, Gen. EVERY issued call
for troops for the defense of the city.
In just three days, four full negro regi-
ments were raised, organized. clothed;
armed and equipped"
"The niger isn't good for anything"
of course not. No matter if he does ex.
pose his life to protect the government,
and is partially instrumental in saving the
Union-all he is good for is TO be hung
and murdered. Such is the modern cop.
perhead doctrine.
