From the Richmond Enquirer Oct %
What humiliation has attended our
cause in that Valley made glOriOusly
historical by the lamented jackson
From Lynchburg to Harpers Ferry,
from the Ridge to the Alleghanies,
where victory and honor and glory once
shed their charming blessings over our
cause, there hangs the gloomy cloud Of
defeat, disgrace and decentralization. 1t
is often said with sigh, 'The news
from the Valley is not go bad as we ex-
pected." What was expected that
could have been worse than the shame
full defeat into which victory was turn
ed, not by the Generalship of Sher-
idan, not by the valor of his infantry,
not by the charge Of his cavalry, but by
the unaccOuntable but not less shame
ful and disgraceful panic of our own
troops.
The well-knOwn bravery Of these
troops forbid the suspicion that fear
caused this disgraceful flight and aban-
donment of artillery Such a suppOs
sition is refuted by the fact that they
had but few hours before won great
and splendid victory. 1t will not do to
say the cavalry gave way; for al ac~
counts agree that the infantry aban-
doned the artillery. What caused this
panic? Our men went into action well
enough; they fought braVely and gal
lantly; victory attended their efforts
and encouraged them 10 push on; all
weat we'll, because the enemy was hy-
ing before them. But the moment they
sfs1 he ~ rF
the foe, the first check received, they
halted, hesitsted, turned, fled from
victorious army, in the twinkling of an
eye, they were routed, demOFalized.
There is no propriety in making ex-
cuses and plastering over with soft and
honeyed phrases this most infamous
defeat To say that our men lost their
victory by stopping to plunder the cap
tured camps Is an excuse more dis
graceful than defeat After four years
of war; the discipline that cannot pre-
vent plundering stragglers from throw
ing away the gathered fruits Of hard
fought battle is criminally defective.
The officers that cannot restrain their
men from plundering and keep them
in the ranks are not ft to command.
A change of commands is demanded
In the Valley. Gen. Early has done the
best he could, We have no doubt; but
his mode Of 6ghtingis too expensive, in
at least.
When brave and experienced troops
break and retreat, as our troops have
done under Gen. Early, 1t is
because they do not feel that the head
that directs them is competent to pro-
vide for the exigency that is upon them.
This panic can be explained in no other
way.

Other States may decide Cor themselves
but Virginia, after exhausting he
whites, viii fight her blacks through I,
the last man. She will be free at al
costs"
On the same subject, the Montgomery
Mail understands that the features o.
a bill for arming the negroes and
placing them in the field are being can
vassed by circle of politicians prior
to the introduction before the Confed-
crate Congress.
The bill proposes:
lst To cOnscribe all the able-bodied
negroes of the couatry, between the
ages Of Is and As, respectively.
ID. To organize this force into regi-
ments, brigades and divisions, and to
arm and equip them thoroughly, as sol
diers.
Sd. To officer the force thus organ
lied from meritoTious soldiers and sub
alterns now in the field.
and, 18th. To offer each negro who
serves faithfully to the end of the war,
his freedom.
1t is assumed by the friends of this
measure that its passage will at once
supply two hundred and fifty thousand
fresh troops; thstit viii avert the neees-
sity for an extension of the existing
eonscriptory limits; that it is essential
as the only means of immediate relief;
that it is justiisble as an expedient;
that it will be popular abroad; and that,
in short, it viii insure successful re-
pulse to the two swollen armies of the
North next spring
The bill will be presented to the
House by one of the most eloquent and
influential of its members, and is likely
to form prominent arch in the debates
of the session upon military affairs.

ArmIng Negroes.

A year ago we called attention in
these colums to the reserve power Of
resistance to our enemies, residing in
the slave population of the South. We
advocated then, as a last resort, and
one to be used without hesitation, the
arming of the negroes, whenever 1t be-
came necessary to secure our lndepend
ence. The question is recently revived,
and is attracting more than usual at
tention. 1t is we'll that the public
mind, as well as the policy of the gov
ernment, should be settled on the
question, against the time when we
shall have TO call on this means Of de-
fence. We do not think the time has
yet come For this campaign it would
be too late, even lift were needful, and
for the next-and who knows if we are
to have another 2-there is time 70 act
after the present campaign is finished.
On this subject we copy the following
remarks from the Richmond Enquirer,
and for Alabama We are prepared TO
say, as the Virginia editor does tor his
own State, . Virginia, after erho1sting
her tehites, a0iK fqht her blacks through u
tie last man She giH Be free at al costs
Says the Enquirer:
@The question Of making soldiers Of
negroes, of regularly enlisting them
and fighting them for their safety as
as well as our own, must have presented
itself 10 every rejecting mind. Be-
cause the Yankees hare not been able
to make soldiers out of their drafted
negroes, it does not follow that we can
not train our slaves 10 make very eff
ciept soldiers We believe that they
can by drill and discipline be moulded
into steady aud reliable soldiers. The
propriety Of employing negroes as col
diefs, we shall not at present discuss;
but whenever the subjugatiOn Of NIr
ginia and the employment Of her
slaves as soldiers are alternative pro-
positions, then certainly we are for
making them soldiers, and giving free
dom 70 those negroes that escape the
casualties of battle
ave should be gladfto see the Con-
federate Congress provide for the pur-
chase of two hundred and fifty thou
sand negroes, present them with their
freedom and the privilege Of remain
ing in the States, and arm, equip, drill
and fight them We believe the ne
groes, identified with Us by interest,
and fighting for their freedom here,
would 0e faithful and reliable soldiers,
aud, under officers who would drill
them, could be depended on for much
of the ordinary service, and even Tor
the hardest fighting Il is not neces-
sary now to discuss this matter, and
may never become so, but neither ne
groes nor slavery will be permitted 70
stand in the way Of the success OF our
cause. This war il for national inde-
pendence on our side, and for the sub
jugation Of whites and the emancipa-
ton Of negroes on the side Of the
enemy. II We fail the negroes are
nominally free and their masters really
slaYea We must therefore, succeed

All il quiet on the north side, and

mics have 80 strongly intrenched them

it would seem sheer madness for either

over in making an assault, appears sufi-
cient 10 make il an absolutely hopeless
undertaking. Ii has been the common
belief that Grant, whether Buffers
canal were finished or not, would, be-
fore the 4th Of November, attempt
something as card for Lincolns re-
election but il strikes as nov that ha
will rather be content b ret Ldac9i's

OhstiOzs Kill do. In Gods name, let all
who want to 60 back to Yankee rule
/ 90; let all who want to renew their af-
/ hliation with the destroyers of our
property 90 TO them. We say, give
them free pass; the country would be
greatly benefited by their absence Are
we never to be freed of these meddlers
and mischief makers3 They want the
freedom of the South; they want their
homes, their slaves, their lives and their
liberties protected, and they are eon~
stantly throwing obstacles in the way
OF those who are toiling and fighting to
secure these great object
Truly they are on the wrong side of
the line, and it would be well for the
country if they were put on the other.
Some of these men talk about despot~
ism of the Confederate government
We tell them if they were in that sec
ton to which they seem to be so much
attached, and were TO talk about the
government there as they do here, they
would very soon find themselves in
some Of the numerous bastiles that FIJI
that land, charged with the crime of
giving aid and comfort to the enemy
That is only what these peace resolu-
tions and continued grumbling and
fault finding do, and that is al they
have done. These resolutions and
speeches about negotiations serve no
other purpose but to prolong the war
and make the North more unreasonable
in its demands.
II, instead Of talking about peace, there
were but one voice ringing throughout
the Confederate States, and that voice
for war until independence was secured,
we should soon have peace with ali of
its blessings. Il Is these gTlaa6hHg, i0AiH-
ing peace nongers that cause the continuance
Of the scar. We know the effect of those
things upon the Southern mind, and
therefore we speak 50 plainly. TO their
eternal shame, Be Il sad, there are abks
bodied Dqe,; hiding themselves from service
