Nor Much TO BoAsT oF.h-There is a
rather neat bit of sarcasm in the follow
ing though it comes from the New York
Herald
We would advise the friends of ''hu-
man freedom" par ereellenee that the pas
sage of the measure through Congress,
after five months of hard labor, to equal
ize the pay of our white and black sol
diers is not much of matter for boast
ing after all. The late rebel Congress,
in providing for twenty thousand black
laborers, teamsters. &c, bond and free,
to the rebel army, found no difficulty
whatever in making their pay the same
as that of their white soldiers. The
rebels could not afford to waste their
time upon such trifes.
