NEGRO SHARPsHooTERs.--Aw writer from
near Vicksburg says:
The notion that colored men are untitled
by nature for the stern warrior has been
most effectually exploded in this army. ]
have noticed in our rifie-pits quite number
Of colored sharpshooters, the most of whom
went out there out of love for the excitement
of the work, and have proved themselves in
no respect inferior to many men of lighter
complexion. Yesterday morning was par
ticularly struck with the demeanor of black
man in one of the labyrinthian range fpits
in front of Gen. Blair's Division. He seem
ed so thoroughly to enjoy his occupation, and
so full of enthusiasm and excitement that
inquired of Tim what motive he had for
working there as a sharpshooter. He replied
by asking me if would not delight in an
opportunity to shoot at the men who had
sworn TO give me or nv race no quarter when
| should be vanquished in fair fight This
is but one ofmany instances have noticed in
which the supposition that the rebels are wag
ing war Of determination against the blacks
who seek the Union camps, has stirred with
in the breasts of the blacks them selves a
raucor which will make them fight. Men who
look upon capture as equivalent to death,
will seldom be taken alive.

of the old folks and the children, when ths

SHASTA COURIER,
The Effect of 1t.

Every Southern mind and every Northern
mind must of course see that the States Of
the Union, the loyal States, are not fighting,
as is often alleged. for the mere conquest OF
the Southern States, but fighting in effect
for their own existence, fighting for every
thing that men hold dear, fighting to save
themselves frcm as wretched fate as ever
befel any people on earth, fighting to keep
themselves from becoming the pity and scorn
of even the poor and pettiest communities Of
all the world-Louisrille Journal
Truly and eloquen,ly uttered. The break
inc up of the Union would be, not the mere
dissolution of partnership-<it would be the
tearing down of the building oveE the heads
of the stockholders. and the speedy ruin OF
the concern. 1t would be, not the mere sew
ering of the cords that bound a family of in
dependent Commonwealths together-it
would be universal wreck and ruin and cha
os. 1t would be, not the several States re-
verting back to their primitive condition-it
would be a mob of jarring principalities bro
ken loose flom the cid orbit and rushing
wildly into - blank space
We should be worse than Germany for
there the pretty Governments have become
established facts. We should be worse than
Italy; for there the peopie-divided into mi
nor klHruOElS-tlre dLltlf'slci W tuc SCitt|NSHe
of a common nationality by community of in
terest and religion. We should be worsc--if
possible-than the Mexicans; for even they
are -eemented together by the sympathy OF a
common origin, and a common faith.
Suppose the Union is divided. suppose
we break up into two or three separate Re-
publics. What is to become Of the old fami
ly mansion? How are the effects to be dis
posed of? Who is to administer on the es-
tate? Who is to pay up the debts? Who is
to look after the interests of creditors? Who
is to look after the interests O. the heirs?
Shall the traps of the old concern be put up
mt auction? Shall they be disposed Of by
"private sale?" Who will be the purchas
ers? Who will act Is salesman Who Is to
settle disputed claims? u ho is to " close
up'' the affairs of The intestate Union?
There is bat one way OF escape from ruin
there is bat one mode Of national salvation.
1t is BY tke preservation Of the Union. With
it we may defy the world without it we
shall become the scorn and pity of mankind.
Under its beneicient sway we may dictate
terms to continents; without it we shall be
in condition to be spit upon by the meanest
Power in Christendom. With it we may be-
ccme as prosperous as we are great; with
out it we shall hand down TO our children IA
heritage Of Bankruptcy and shame. Is not
such Union worth susfering--worth fight
ing-worth dying tor?-AJJany Journal.

UxRSascSApLE.- Democratic journals
are complaining again because the soldiers
are allowed to vote. They say the 5000
California volunteers should be disfranchlze,i
because they are serving the cause Of the
Union. Admitting them to vote they call
. a fraud upon the electors of the State:"
and they charge that all the officers will be
suborned and all the priyates deprived of
free choice. Well, as to that, six eights Of
these officers were appointed by Downcy-
the very man who is now running for Gov
ernor most of them we're Democrats, and the
rank aud file were claimed to be Democrats
also. Are Downey journals afraid to trust
these Democratic officers and privatcs to vote
when their 81 fayXite is a candidate? Are
all of these Seuloeyl.;s militant corruptible =?
All ! the truth is these California volunteers
are Union Elen, enlisied for the war that
Downey's party opposes, in defense of a
Government which Downey's party hates
and maligns and they will vote nearly to a
man for the unconditional Uuinn ticket
