Secretary of War, which it gives Us
pleasure to record
First He ordered Colonel Greene to
organize the Freedmsn's Village, for the
protection of the black man and his
family, upon the Arlington estate, be

Secondly. He has himself recently
selected a ite upon the same estate for a

General Neigs has been directed -

How appropriate that Lees lands should

would enslave. and the bodies of the

Yet bapiy, from the regions where,

May lay their weapons by.
Then may We warbe unafraid,
Where hands, that wear the fetter now,
Free as your wings shall ply the spade,
And guide the peaceful plough.
Then, as our conquering hosts return,
What shouts of jubilee shall break
From placid vale and mountain stern
And shore of mighty lake!
And midland plain and ocean strand
Shall thunder: "Glory to the brave,
