on Friday, the 6sh inst., the New York
Tribuses account says: Il
"Ths negro troops Of General Barnside.
commanded BY Ferrs-o, had been placed
at the disposal OF Gen. Sedgwick. with the
request that, unless absolutely necessary,
they should not be pu. into the fight

day until dark, and were not brought into
