FRIDAY MORNING. FEE. 20. 1858.


We notice in the special dispatches
from Washington 10 the Cincinnati
0asetle, that Senator WILsoN has reported
from the Military Committee adversely
to the House bill for The organization Of
the negro army, on the ground that The
law Of last session conieFs all the power
given by this bill ~ baae ora a oa
The dispatch adds that the bin over
which such clamor has been raised by
nervous politicians diminishos instead
Of increasing the power the President
had already for employing negroes. The
intention is, no doubt, to use the negro
soldiers in the marshy and miAsmalic
regions along the coast, where it.wonld
be unhealthy for large bodies Of white
soldiers 70 be employed There is every
reason 70 believe that the negroes can
be used wiihigreat effect as scouts, sharp
shooters, and spies, in these localities,
and that severe blows can be thus struck
at the rebellion, at points where resist
ance will be impossible. The terror
created through the rebel States by these
soldiers, win paralyze instead of exas-
perating them. The negroes can also be
used largely in erecting Qualifications in
places where it would be almost certain
death for ourregular soldiers to 90. No
one expects on desires the black soldiers
to be assOsiaIoa*ith our white troops.
The negroes will greatly prefer 10 fight
by hemselVes;l aud in this way will do
better service, althoughR reference to the
historical tables of the Revolutionary
War, will show that in the army OF WASH
EeroN black soldiers served with white
soldiers, and did good service. The
whole plan at present is an experiment,
and WILTON be tested Fhe accounts
we have, from Florida and South CaroIi-
ma, prove that in the two instances, the
darkies whipped tho rebel chiyalry, and
we have no regrets 10 express for these
defeats o. white traitors by black loyal

breath out of JEFF. DAVIS we would re.
joice at it. There are results to be attain /.
Cd in this great struggle, and we are not
scrupuIous as to the mode Of tseir. attain

peace These are the ends which all pa :
triots are striving to attain, and policy
only should dictate the means we eua.

We have said thus much rather ON ac-
cOuutof the factious opposition made by
the pseudo conservative organs, to the Ad =
ministration, on account Of this new war
measure, than for any great Importance
which we attach to it at present. Since
writing the above we have examined the
speech of Hon. CHARLES @. PNckNEY, of
South Carolina, delivered in Congress On
the Missouri Compromise bill, from which
we take this very pertinent passage:
aAt the commencement Of Our revolu-

oREAr STRUGGLE WITH SIMILAR VIEWS -
LIKE BRtTHREN THEY CoNTENDED FOR THE
BENEFIr OF THE WHOLE, leaving to ea, h
the right TO pursue its happiness in its
own way. They thus nobiy toilcd and
bled together, REALLY LIKE BRETHREN

are, as valuable part of our population
TO The Union, as any other equal number
of inhabitanls. They were, in numerous
instances, the pioneers, and in all, the
laborers OF your armies. TO THEIR
HANDS WE'RE OWING TnE ERECTION OF THE
