A Dark Subject.--The Everlasting mig
ger is about to be brought up to the scratch.
The bill authorizing and ordering the enlist.
ment Of an indefinite number of negro regi.
ments for the service, has passed the House
of Representatives at Washington, Parties
who claim to be in the confidence of the ma
jority, assure us that it will pass the Senate.
For the first time since the war began the
effort is being seriously made to get clear OF
the Gentleman from Africa
The rebel authorities, on account of the
employment Of black troops by our Govern
ment, have ordered that all negroes found in
arms shall be shot down without quarter; and
in two or three instances they have already
shown disposition to carry out the order
with an energy that is not very .eneonraging
to enlistments in that wing of the army to be
composed of American citizens of African
descent"
In the face of the rebel order to anuihilate
all armed negroes that may be found upon
Southern soil, and after an earnest of It's exc.
eution has been given, ''the friends Of the Az
rlean race" have the ooolness TO order them
TO walk up and be shot White men would
not enlist under such conditions; and as the
colored population are likely to take white
view OF the situation, it is not probable that
the negro regiments will rise out of the
ground when the order for their enlistment is
given fl- .ItlI
We have it from authority which Greeley
would deem reliable, that il the negroes viii
not enlist promptly, they will be drafted forth.
with And this is really the way in which il
is intended to raise the Negro Brigades. We
suspect that the negro having proved entirely
too much for the Abolitionists they have de-
vised this inhuman plan to get rid Of him
The scheme is TO embrace every other able.
bodied colored man in the North and all that
come into our lines in the South. II the
plan succeeds we are in a fair way to get
rid of the niger question. We have no rea-
son to doubt the inclination or ability of the
rebels to accomplish the work as fast an the
brigades are organized and sent within their
reach
II we were a negro we would lose no time
In making our way to Canada that is, f we
were not entirely sick of life.

excellence of the article is fully set forth in
the following certificate from Messrs John
Thompson n Co., who are we'll known here.
PITTsBURc, 18th April, 1862.
We have tried Coslee Patent Japan Drier
and find it an excellent article. We tried il
with lampblack ground in raw oil Wefound
that for these two colors we had to use a
larger proportion of dner than that recon-
mended by Mr.. Ooale, but for others colors
we found the quantity Zone eight quite
enough to dry them thoroughly Practical
painters know that a Japan that will dry lamp
black and Vandyke brown will dry any other
color that it is put into We therefore have
no hesitation in recommending it to the
trade and to the public generally.
