a MEETING OF THE OFFICERS or THE
IND UNITED STATES CoLoRED HEAVY AR
TILLERY was held at Fort Pickering on
Friday 18th at which the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted :
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the Al
mighty Ruler Of events to remove from
the sphere Of their duties on earth,
Major, Booth, Captain Carson, Capt
Ebeuetter, Lieut.. Hill, Lieut. Bishotf.
Lieut.. Mcclure, Lieut. Lippett, and the
officers associated with them III the de-
Tense of Fort Pillow, by cruel and bar
barous death; we do, therefore, as q to-
ken Of respect for the bravery and the
worth Of thedeceased. and in cOndem-
nation of the cruel treatment which
they and the brave soldiers under
their command were subject. to after
their surrender, pass the following
resolutions:
Rcs0ts3, That, having been person
ally acquainted with the above named
officers, we knew them to be honest, in
telligent, and affable rs friends, that in
each and every one Of them, we recog-
nize the highest type of the true and
brave soldier, and that in our memories
there shall always be a spot sacred to
the remembrance of their hcroism, and
regret for their sad fate.
RcsoLed, That the command given by
Mai. Booth to his devoted garrison, after
be was mortally wounded: Soldiers,
never surrender was worthy of an
American commander, and proper TO
be handed down to posterity with the
words of the immortal Lawrence
~ Don give up the ship.
Res0Irc& That in the leaders and in
stigators of the cowardly and inhuman
Of the survivors of the garri-
son, we recognize those unworthy the
name OF soldiers; that they have dis
graced the position in which honor and
chivalry are essential requisites, and
that 10 the name OF traitors they have
now added that of towards and muir
derers.
Rosolvai, That, as American soldiers.
we have always held that the persons
OF wounded and defenseless prisoner
was sacred, but that the scenes at Fort
Pillow admonish Us that humanity
forms no part Of the policy OF traitors.
Re'oius1, That. as officers command
ing colored troops in the service of the
Union, we now know our doom If we
are captured by our enemies, but that,
50 far from being intimidated thereby.
we accept the issue, and adopt as our
motto, Victory or Death"
Resided, That with the friends and
families OF the deceased heroes, we do
sincerely sympathize, feeling that in the
death OF each, they have met with az
irreparable loss, the country has lost a
true defender, we a friend, and human
ity one Of its noblest champions. Il
Resolved, That these resolutions be
