The speech OF President Lincoln at Balti-
more, in which he alludes to the massacre at
Fort Pillow md promises the action OF the
Government in the way of retaliation, will
give satisfaction to the country. The Presi-
dent confeeses himself to be personally re-
sponsible for the care Of the black troops,
inasmuch as it WIS by his own act thst 1t was
decided In the first place to arm them. He
rcrv well knew before the thing was done,
that peculiar difficulties attended the en-
deayor to make troops of them, on account
Of the views Of the enemy regarding them,
and the spirit offcroc1ty 1t was likely to ex-
cite If arms were put into their hands; and
he decided in advance to give them the pre-
lection Of the Government whenever they
were brought into extra peril On account
of it.
All this WIS well known before; but 1t is
highly CRAFTY ing that Mr.. Lincoln loses no
time in assuring the public. As to the mode
Of Tetribution to be resorted to. he confesses
TINT It Is not get decided on. His wish cvi-
edntly is to proceed SO tar as not to shock
the sense Of the wcrld by IN exhibition of
cruelty, or barbarism similar to that exhib-
ited By the rebels. If the Government is In
earnest in the matter, we haye no feat, but
that the right mode Of proceeding will be
found al1 that We need to be concerned about
at tic present time Is, that there is proper
cnrnestuces In the right quarter, and that
promptnees Of action is resolved on We
hare CO, 900 blnck troops in the field We
cannot aiIotd to expose them to the brutality
OF such barbarians as captured Fort Pillow.

we are In earnest in this matter, and that no
