THE NEGRO WILL FIGHT.

There is no longer any question about
tie fighting qualities Of the negroes. He
has proved himself to be good soldier on
every occasion when his black metal has
been tried; and before the end Of the war
he will, if weare not vastly mistaken, have
achieved a brilliant record. Up to the
present time, he has~fully justified the
trust and confidence which have
been reposed in his courage and loyalty
He knows well what he is fighting for,
and this knowledge will help to sustain
him against the enemy, urging him to still
more daring deeds Of heroism and valo1.
Opposition to make soldier Of the negro
has nearly ceased everywhere. The army,
always generous in its recogni.ion OF
bravery, is no longer unwilling to fight In
the companionship Of colored regiments
and even Coppcrhead begins to be
ashamed Of the lies and hatred which
he has pcrpetrated against them. The
only wonder is, that this opposition
should have prevailed at all It is
stupidity amounting to imbecility, to
