raE FoRr Pillow MASSACRE hideous
bu,ohery Of the garrison OF Fort Pillow, by For.
rests men, seems now TO be fully confirmed. The
details are too shocking forrectal even, and the
dendlsh crueltcs INFLICTED by the rebels would
disgrace the most brutal savages Even the
rebels admit that the massacre was all that the
first reports represented. A rebel paper has the
following
McBlLe, Apnl 49, A special dispatch to the
Advertiser and Register, from Fort Pillow
18th, says Forrest attacked this place with
Chalmers DIVISION yesterday,
The garrison consisted Of 900 white and 400
negro troops. The tort refusing to surrender
was carried by storm. Forrest led Bells brig
ade and Chslmer led McCulloughs. They both
entered the fort simultaneously and an indis
crlmInate slaughter followed.
One hundred prisoners were taken, the bal
ance OF the garrison were slain The fort ran
with blood. Many jumped into the river and
were drowned, or shot in the water.

The Pay of Negro Soldiers.
A Washington telegram of last week is
follows

A Washington telegram of last week is as
follows
The Ways and Means Committee have deter
mined to retain Senator Wilson amendment TO
the Army Appropriation bill, to give black sol
dIers the same pay as white soldiers The House
Military Committee with its chairman Sohenck
at its head, will resist, and it is believed, will
defeat ii. This committee have carefully and
maturey considered the subject and are decd-
eddy opposed to placing white and black soldiers
on an equality Of pay. They have agreed to u
bill giving the former sixteen and the latter thir
teen dollars per month. There will be sharp
contest over the matter.
The upjlstland unrighteous treatment, by tho
majority OF the House Of Representatives, Of tie
colored soldiers in the Union army Is, it seems
to US, greater outrage than even the massacre
OF these troops by Infatuated rebels. We have
invited the negro to fight for US ,-fgbting, to be
sure, for himself at the same time, yet just as
every Union soldier fghls for himself-and we
yet refuse to pay him what we pay other sol
diers Tor doing tho same work. What kind OF
justice or even honesty Is there in such conduct
and bow long will 1t taxa by such legislation ID
educate the negro into love for tho hlg for
which he fights? And what right have we to
expect that the rebels will treat our black J.
di.rs according to the rules Of civilized warfare
when wo set the example Of refusing to
thom their rights Retaliation FOR the Forl
Pillow massacre had better be deferred until d
Union Congress learns nol to commit wrongs
which, if less cruel and inbnman, are ust a.
