A Negro Victim of the Draft
How lac Felt.

The Lacrosse (Wisconsiu) Democrat,
place whero they have lately been drafting,
says;
Among the victims of the late draft in this
city was Sam, graceful-motioned coutraband
who was given leave to leave the South last
spring and become FREQ man ''up Norfl"
Early in the spring he did chores at the Har-
rington House. Later in the season he hoed
gardens, got married, and blacked stoves till
they rivaled the gloss on his cheeks Monday
he was drafted, and Tuesday was served with
notice to be at the rendezvous within ten
days along with his white brethren, or be con-
sidered Il deserter. He took the notice io a
friend who read il and made him understaI q
the nature thereof. And this is the way hs
took on:

The Freedmen of the South

The fearful condition of those victims of
abolition madness, the poor freedmen" of the
South, appeals to the heart of every person of
human sympathies We quote the apposite
remarks of the World upon the subject, and
urge its important suggestions upon our
readers consideration. After quoting the
descriptions of the Rev. Mr.. Fiske, General
Grants Superintendent of Contrabands, our
New York contemporary says
"Swarming thus in their worse than savage
misery among the camps Of the sodiery, their
presence moves all that is ribald and brutal
in those camps to hatred and contempt, to
outrage and abuse Had these people asked
us for the bread of freedom 1t were still in
suaerably base in us to have given them these
stones in response. But il was we who offer
ed, not not they who asked, this bread at our
The master may have chastised his slave
with whips, but we have made him free, only
to chastise him with scorpions. The master
gave him life, at least, and rajment, food and
drink, and a roof 10 cover him, and the COM
Portable presence Of his fellows. We give
him slow starvation, rags, and the armament
for his shelter We take him from his wife
and children to fight our battles in the field,
surrendering them to insult, privstion, and
death by famine and disease.
The men who have brought this huge wretch
edness upon helpless race, now throw the
burden on the people, whose national name it
threatens for ages to disgrace. We cannot,
and we must not, reject it. BY every con-
sideraton Of honor and humanity, as Chris
tian men, wo must lift it, grievous though it
be. This is the immediate work and duty of
the hour. To the future we may well remit
the chastisemeni, sure and terrible, which
awaits the hypocrtes and the madmen who
have loaded upon us, and upon our children,
so cruel weight of national shame and OF
individual misery"

Rg-Now that the radical Republicans
no longer conceal their hostility to the
Union of the Fathers, and openly avow
their determination not to consent to the
establishment of the unity of the States
except upon the conditions Of the Aboli-
tionists, they cannot expect that Union
men will countenance them or their party.
They can only expect to be classed among
the disunionists who curse and defy the
Constitution, and to be summed as enc
mics to the happiness and prosperity OF
the country. Such is the position the
radicals occupy before the people.

The Commercial Advertiser echoes the
theory, and adds
"The destruction of slavery will compel a

South; and while the States are preparing
for this change, social aud politial order can
be maintained only by the presence Of a
