Negro Soldiers.

soldiers complete success. | have had a

interest in watching their progress from the
time of the first enlistment az Hilton Head.
During the last week l have visited their
camp three or four times and witnessed their
drill, and will state that as far as | am capa-
BILE Of judging of infantry tactics, they dis
play as great efficiency in drill as any of the
white regiments on the island They are
quick, active ane possess great power of en-
durance, are easily disciplined, and we'll sat
ished with their condition. | want to see
100000 blacks in the field before the first of
July. How can we get thems' you may
ask. By striking into the interior of some
thickly settled slave states and giving every
negro chance to help work out his own
salvation. Let the government do away
with their agricultural! projects for the pres
ent, and instead Of sending men to the fed
to raise cotton, make soldiers of them. The
rebels fear them much more than they dc
white troops. Many of them have old score:
to settle up, and they know wher they fgh
it is their only salvation. Ask any of them
what they may expect il their old master:
catch them, and they will say, Lord, masss
he shoot me, sure-never go alive, boss
As long as this state of feeling exists among
them, you need not fear but what they vii
make good soldiers. The rebels say they dc
not want any negroes after they have enter
ed our lines, and as general thing the!
shoot them when they catch them"
