thorough discipline and the utmost influence oi
officers over men. General Banks further ex-
plains his views in the matter as follows:-
"The chief defect in organizations of this
character has arisen from incorrect ideas of the
officers in command. Their discipline has been
lax, and IN some cases The conduct of their reg
iments unsatisfactory and discreditable. Con-
trovprsies unnecessary and injurious to the SER
vice have arisen between them and other troops
The organization proposed will reconcile and
avoid many of these troubles.
"Ofiicers and soldiers will consider the exip-
encies of the service in this Department, and
the absolute necessity of appropriating every
element OF power to the support of the Gov
ernment. The prejudces or opinions of men
are in no wise involved. The cooperation and
active support ol all officers and men, and the
nomination OF fit men from the ranks, and from
the lists ci non. commissioned and commissioned
officers, respectfully solicited from the Gen.
erals commanding the respective divisions"
The following extract from private letter,
received from field officer Of one of the black
regiments now in the service in Louisiana, will
throw some light on the results to which the
experiment has already led =
"rhere ara four regiments OF infantry and one
company ol afullefN organized ana now IN act
i've service in the field ;-and now word about
TIE negro troops.
After nearly five months experience with them
l unhesitatingly say, that with proper training
they will make the best troops in the field
They are courageous, obedient, clean, ard well
behaved; are sworn enemies to the rebels
warm friends to the American Union, and after
putting down rebellion will be the standing
army of this country, and will make their tor
mer taskmasters respect the laws and majesty
OF the United States. They have sown the
wind now they are reaping the whirlwind.
The black troops have successfully overcome
th; severest prejudice by their good conduct
and soldiery abilities.
"All the commissioned officers of my COM
mand are white, and am in favor of white off
Gers because the men have more confidence in
their ability to lead them. as sure you the
men will certainly justify the opinions formed
of them by their friends and the friends of the
Government, anl will close this part of my
letter by telling you they are the only real
friends we have got South of Mlson and Dix
