In the great Battle Of the Wilderness, y
on FriGay, the 9Th ult., tie New York
Tribunc's account says:
The negro troops oi' General Burnside,
commanded by General Ferrero, had been
placed at the disposal of Gen. Scdgwich,
with the request that, unless absolutely
necessary, they should not be put into the
fight
The negroes remained within mile
and half of the front during the entire
day, until dark, and were not brought into
action"
This was the most fierce and desperate
of the conflicts ofthe campaign, and was
in fact drawn battle Ii We had mum.
Der Of reliable troops equal to the number
of negroes thus kept idle, 1t MI sht have
been made decisive victory.
Also, in 'Charleton' account of the bat
tie of the 10th, near Spot'sylvania, de-
scribing Burnside's operations at an i'm
portant crisis Of the fight, he says the
colored troops were not in the charge.
So in General Banks disastrous battle
on the Red River, we are told that the ne
gro troops were not used. Why was this:
Are these blacks reliablc?-And if so why
were they not made to 90 their work.
These facts are significant. They show
either that the officers il command have
no confidence in the negro troops, or they
are very careful ot placing them in posi-
ton to be '.hurt.

Seeking for nation

Loyalty has its experts, which, like the
witch finders of old. are especially gifted
to discover the slightest tinge, trace, germ
or sysmptom of the breaking out of treason
able :mposthumes. Among the most vigi
liant of these is our cotcmporary of the
Commercial, whose practice is so extern
sive and constant that even the uninitia
ted are able, from his operations, to dis
cover some Of the rules under which he
operates.
For example, when fight has occurred,
tits, in general proof Of reasonable procliv-
itives not to believe that our side has won
a grea: and signal victory. We say, in
general, for there may be exceptions to
the rule; and it is in respect to the law of
the exception that we feel curious; being
anxious, if possible, to keep within the
pale of loyalty. We: therefore, inquire of
our cotemporary: Is it necessary, in or
der to loyalty, to believe that General Grant
won great and decisive victory over the
Confederates on Friday last? We with
hold our opinion on that event until We
hear from the fountain of authority.
May we say that we fear that, upon that
occasion, our army was roughly handled,
lost large numbers of men, multiplied its
list Of manned and wounded to melan-
choly extent, failed to accomplish the OBJ
ject for which battle was given, and found
obstacles which even vastly superior forces
hardly hope to overcome? We do fear it.
We dread to encounter the awful picture
which the tr nth shall paint of that event.
May We say so? May we weep over the
dead? Sorrow for the wounded, lament
with the bereaved and contemplate. with
fitting feelings, the vast expenditure Of hu
man life made TO so little purpose?
We would willingly, gladly, do our duty
to the public and mankind. What shall
We do? Shall We say that the battle was
an unimportant skirmish, and the loss
insignificant; shall we say it was simply Il
in which the information
game! was cheaply purchased; or that it
was brilliant success to our armcs; or
shall we say nothing? We pause for

statistics Of SEisccgenatioa.

The sopperhoad leaders have, for the
past few months been continually pratine
about the doctrine Of miscegenation. Anal
gamation is to be the result of emancipa
ton, as they aliege, and the society Of the
North is to be contaminated with revolt
ing admxture of the black element, as
consequence Now an examination of the
matter, shows that it is the slave States.
where amalgamation is practically carried
out and adopted.-A C. Republican.
Then follows what the Republican fclic-
itousiy styles "some suggestive statistics
thereupor," which show conclusively that
the whole number of mulattoes in the
United States are 55s ,262; of whom $751;
SS3 were in the slave States, and the resi-
due were in the free States. Upon this
showing the Republican claims that slavery
is favorable to miscegenation. Such is
the sophistry to which abolitionists are
driven to blind their deluded followers
Now let us look at the matter as it really
is, and see how much truth there is in the
fanatical deductions of abolitionism:
"The census of 1850 shows that while
MORE THAN ONE FOURTH cftAe color
cd PEOPLE Of tie North ere muiGNoes, only
ONE TH1RTIETH of the slave population
are mulattoes. Among 3,204. 3l3 slaves,
1865 were mulattoes or had mere or
less white blood; while Of the 195, 800 col
ore! pc )ple OF the free States, over &c.
500 are mulattoes. In Ohio, more than
one ha!j otMe colOrsl population are mu-
lGn9es or over II 900 out Of $4,000. In
in Wisconsin and Iowa, over 81 per cent;
in Illinois, over IS per cent; in Michigan
76 per cent; in New Hampshire, 81 per
cent; in Maine, 81 per cent; in Pennsyl-
vania, (the residence Of Mr. Kelley 80 per
cent; in Vermont, 49 per cent; IN Massa-
chuse.ts, 81 per cent; in Connecticut 80
per cent; in Rhode Island, 81 per cent;
in New York &c rc1 cent; while in only
one slave State DO the mulattoes form l6
per cent OF the whole number Of slaves,
and 10 only three do they amount to ten
per cent
The Republican evidently forgot, or
else wilfully ignored the fact that the
great bulk Of cOlored persons arc in the
South, while there are comparatively few
in the North, and seeks to make It's readers
believe that, because there are more mu-
lattoes IN population Of three and half
millions of colored persons in the South,
than there arc in quarter of Il million in
the North, the state Of slavery is favorable
to miscegenation. The census of 1850
and 1860 shows the further fact that there
is larger proportion of mulattocs among
the free colorel population both North
and South than there is among the slave s.
