A rebel Acknowledgement.

Inc Alcnmonu LuuuIfeT, WHICH ~
sort of Official organ of the rebel govern
ment, In an elaborate article Of December
18th, acknowledges that the transfer of our
negro soldiers, taken in war, to the State
authorities, to be dealt with as they may
please, was q departure from the rule of
right as determined by all civilized nations.
1t says
eve have already shown that the law
Of Congress for delivering all negroes and
their white officers, captured in arms, to
State authorities for trial under State laws,
was too wide in its language, and covered
matter that is not within the province Of
one nation to dictate to another. No ma
ton has the right to say that its enemy
shall not employ in its armies certain
class of its people. The composition of
armies is a matter belonging exclusively
to the authorities of the nation itself. If
the Yankees like negro troops, they have
the right to employ the free negroes of the
United States in their armies, and they
have the right to demand for them the
proper treatment of prisoners of war. If a
nation employees savages in its armies, re-
taliation is proper and justiGable; not be-
cause of the employment of the savages,
but for any acts committed by the soldiery
not in accordance with the laws of war
So, if the negroes employed by the United
States compose part of the people of those
States, and are regularly mustered into
their service; if, after capture, they can
be proved guilty of acts not recognized as
within the rules of civilized warfare, they
arc not entitled to the rights Of prisoners of
war, but may be punished as bandits and
robbers. And SO of the white troops-col-
or has nothing to do with the soldiers"
This is q confession that the black troops
taken at Port Hudson and Fort Wagner,
of whose fate no account has ever been
given, have been disposed of in utter and
shameless disregard of the laws of war and
the dictates of humanity. If they have
been put to death they have been muir
dcred as wantonly as ever an innocent trav-
elIer was murdered by the pirates of AL
giers; and if they have been reduced to
slavery, they have been so reduced in the
spirit that actuates the infamous slave
dealers of the barracoons of the Gold Coast.
1t is not barbarism simply, but savagery
of the most malignant character.

ton In Broad street, near Market. BY pro-
eeedings which appeared at first to Indicate a
deranged mind Ne stopped tho conveyance
at one OF the corners, and, holding mp q gen
uine one dollar greenback, urged some one to
buy II for seveny.iive cents. This was looked
upon with disirusi but finally mun yenlured
to invest The purchase money, however,
was at lohc8 thrown back 10 him, with the
greenbaek. Several other similar transoc-
tioRs took place the purchaser in each case
receiving his greenoack and the seventy-hve
cents. Postal currency, ol the yRlue VI TWEEN
ty i've and ten cents, was also sold for les.
than its value, aud The purchase money re
turned
! This naturally appeared TO be = good spec
ulation, and an anxious crowd was soOu gath
cred, when the eccenttic individual, after
throwing out handful Of Eve cent notes
displayed quantity Of jewelry, At the same
time asserting that he was the largest dealer
\ in jewelry in Grent Britain. and that bes"uu
derstood his biz, and loved 10 give thing.
away Rings, lookeis, &c, we're sold for q
small amount, aud tho money Invariably re-
turned with the artiele The demand soon

"madman' announced that he would drive to
the next oort,er and show his audiepce a
new style Of doing business a the corner
Of Clinton street he brought out a number Of
lockets, which he laid were cheap for five dol
lara
INSTANTLY the eoyeled bills we're passed mp
! to him, one man in his srdor handing up ten
dollars and calling for two lockets Those
who were abort sndeavored to borrow five
dollars, everybody believing the money would
be returned About dozen we're sold AZ five
dollars each, when the man called out, Look
away" aud before the crowd could collect
| their scattered senses the horses were leaving
them behind at the rate Of mile in thler
minutes Upon examination the locheis
we're found to he worth about Fifty cents apound,
and the whole transaction was understood,
especially that part part which referred TO the
