PRoTEoTTos TO CoLoKED SoLDIERs.-
Colored soldiers will be protected IN
der the war code adopted for the con-
duct of the National army. This code
declares that as soon as man Is armed
by a sovereign Government. and takes
the soldiers oath Of fidelity. he is
belligerent, and his acts Of war are not
individual ofenses. The law OF nations
knows OF no distinction of color. and
IL an enemy Of the United States should
eDslaye and sell any captured persons
Of our armies, It would be 9 case for

~ In . summary Of Southern news
appears sn extract from the Richmond
Enquirer relative 10 the great cavalry
ight at Beverly Ford. The other
Richmond papers contain further de.
tails Of the rebel losses. The Senti.
mel says about 200 rebels were taken
prisoners. and their killed and wound
ed "are supposed to reach several hun.
dred. Some pu. the figures higher
and SONS lower" The Dispatch
states the number Of killed, Woupded
and missing at 500. The Sentinel
says: "AmOng our slain are Lieut.
Colonel Hampton OF General Hamp-
tons brigade. and Colonel Saul Will.
Jams Of the ed North Carolina ReRi-
ment. Colonel Butler Of South Caro-
lima had his foot shot OF, and has suf.
fsred. Gen. W. n. F. Lee received 9

10 the thigh. He came down yestsr-
day to Col. Wichham's 10 Hanover
Colonel A. W. Harman Of the l2th Vir-
ginia Cavalry was wounded, but not
seriously in the neck"
All the rebel organs claim q victory,
but admit that their men we're dis
gracefully surprised. The Examiner.
the sblest and most candid paper in
rsbeldom. says: at is q victory over
which few will exult. 1t resembles
that other victory won at Kslley's
Ford on the l7th Of March. Both
would have been well merised defeats
if valor had not paid the price Of con-
ceh and carelessness."

Milliksn's Bend, q few miles above
Vicksburg, on Sunday, 7th inst. Our
forces consisted Of about l,5OO, one

they found that no quarter was shown
to their wounded who fell into rebel
hands, they rallied and fought with
great desperation, and the rebels were
repulsed. A gunbost came to the aid
Of the Union troops. It is reported

@The steamers between New
York and New Orleans have heretofore
refused to transmit the soldiers mail;
except upon inadmissabie terms, and
seem to have tried to take advantage
of the suxieties Of the brate fellows
to hear from home to demand exorb;t-
ant rates. General Banks in order to
remove these selfish restrictions on per-
sonsl correspondence has declared that
no steamer from New York will be
permitted to pass the quarantine sta
tion at New Orleans, without his
special permission, unless it carries a
mail or is Government transport
This rule will compel the steamers to
carry a mail, IN order TO avoid the
vexstious delays Of quarantine. and
the result must be that letters will be
transported at rates which The Govern
u'eut can afford to pay. We are glad
that General Banks has thus check
mated the extortionists who would
have deprived the soldiers of the
Southern Mississippi army Of all the
comforts derived from hearing fre.
quently Of their loved ones at home.

Hoppositiou to tbe enrolment Ia,

Eopposition to the enrolment laws
manifested itself in Ohio. as wen as in
other loyal States. Blood has been al
ready shed, and where IL will stop is
hard to conjecture. This is q very
solemn matter, and one which the Gov
eminent should meet promptly, and
punish with the utmost severely. The
officers Of the enrolment are either act
ing in pursuance Of law, or they are
not. II they are, then the protection
of law should be afforded them at all
hazard. The man who kills an enroll
ling officer when in the line OF his duty,
is guilty Of murder, and should suffer
the penslty Of the crime. Whilst this
must be so, there is one other consider.
alton not to be overlooked. The blood
already shed does not fall merely on
the ignorant and malicious people Of
Holmes county. They are only acting
upon the instigations OF such men as
Vallandigham, Pugb, Olds. Cox & Co..
and of such sheets as the Cincinnati
Enquirer, Columbus Crisis, Dayton
Empire. DC. They. as the orators and
writer's of the Democratic party, are
strictly cbargesble with this great vio-
lation Of law. They are the real nur-
dersrs. They have openly advised re-
sistauce to the enrolment laws. They
have steadily denounced the war, as
waged only on behalf Of the negro
They have BY secret organisations, in
barns and out-of-tbe-way places, bound
inen under oath to resist the draft
They have inffamed the evil passions Of
bad men BY violent aad fanatical
harangues, all calculated to bring about
q civil war In the North. and ultimately
dissolve this Union. They studiously
refrsin from any reflections upon the
course Of traitors in arms against the
Government. They carefully misrepre.
sent and falsify every act Of the Govern.
ment tending to sustain itself, into a
violation Of the rights OF a State
These. and many other things they do.
under the garb Of Democracy. The
result Of such teachings can only end
in blood. It is daily manifesting itself
in the North, and the fruits Of IL may
yet become more fearful, unless the
Government lays bare its arm, and
treats these assassins as they deserve.
Mercy to them is cruelty to loyal men.
And yet. II is not the ignorant and
vicious bordes whose passions are thus
infamed that most deserve punishment,
but such men IS the present candidates
