southern Negroes TO the Rescue!
1t seems that the late Conscription law, !
passed by. Lincon's Abolition Congress,
contains section which authorizes the
Governors Of the - loyal States to send
agents into the States in rebellion, except
arkansas, Louisiana amt Tennessee, for the
purpose of recruiting soldiers for the
Northern army. The business intrusted
TO these agents simply means the stealing
of negroes and sending them North there
TO be uniformed and equipped as the law
directs, mustered into the service of the
United States and then sent South, for the
humane and christian purpose Of being
slaughtered. OF course no sane man be-
lievcs for one moment, that these northern
patriots will ever succeed i'll enlisting teR
if even one southern lrhite man to fight
the battles Of the North. If they are not
all captured and hung upon ''sosn' a3pie'
trees, they will have most remarkable
streak of good luck. We think that most
of them will not remain long in Dixie"
