IsHUMAN SLAUGHTER most dis
graceful and inhuman scene Of the war
thus far, is the butchery of nearly four hun
dred Union soldiers, by the rebels under
Forrest, at Fort Pillow, on Tuesday of
last week After desperate fight, in
which the Union forces were so greatly
outnumbered as to be compelled TO sur
render, the rebels went deliberately at
work and murdered in cold blood near 400
negro troops and the white officers com
manding them. Such scenes are too hor-
rible to contemplate, and disgraceful to
any. nation except tho high toned chly-
airy Of slaveocracy.
