COME TO THE LIGHT!

The Dahl Nens has a long editorial intended
to fasten upon the National Government the
blame and odium of refusing an exchange of
prisoners, and thereby causing the horrors and
mortality of the Andersonville and other Rebel
prison.pens. 1t concludes as follows:
And we aver our belief from extensive informa-
on that the suferngs OF the Confederate prisoners
not caused by themselves greater than that OF the
Federal prisoners not caused by themselves the NOR.

LOUISIANA.

Those who clamor against the freedmen IN
the South az degraded class, who are either
starving, in the calaboose, or breeding insur-
rectiOns, should look at the condition OF affairs
in Louisiana. Here is a State that before the
war had 326. 726 slaves and 1e 547 free people OF
color. The free negroes of Louisiana embrace
in their ranks some of the wealthieSt and most
respectable people of the State, and as a class
have always been highly respected. They DO
not fall under the definition of freedmen as
now accepted. Of the freedmen proper 1t Is
estimated that nearly 10000 are old enough to
vote. The records of the Freedmen's Bureau
show that out of the whole number there are
not thousand maintained at Government ex'
pense, these being most probably negroes who
have been thrown out of home and labor by the
abandonment of plantations, together with the
old and infirm. In all the communities OF
freedmen degree of order and industry relgns
that is very pleasing to see. The only trouble
the officers of the bureau have is from the old
Bourbon shareholders, who never learn and
never forget anything. They cannot abandon
the whip the hound, the iron collar, and the
bludgeon. Notwithstanding this obstacle, all
along the plantation sections schools are es-
tablished and the freedmen are taught. These
schools have now 90, 900 scholars-yOung minds
who are, we hope, to lead and discipline the
coored race. and be the fathers and mothers OF
a new and enlightened generation.

new and enlightened generation.

A sensational account of the death OF the
Rebel Stonewall Jackson was published some
days since in The World, written by Southerner
and Rebel whom The Borld calls " gifted Vir-
ginian." The evident purpose of the letter was
to reterste, and if possible establish, the theory
which was a iavOrte one at the time, that
Jackson met his death at the hands Of his
friends by volley mistakenly fired. The place
was thick wood, the time evening, the po-
,tions of the different forces uncertain, and the
fire which struck down the Rebel leader seemed
to come, it is alleged, from the direction OF his
own troops. The UorH correspondent says:
THE origin of this fire has never been dis
covered and after JacksOn's death there was
little disposition to investigate an occurrence
which occasoned bitter distress to all who by
any possibility could have taken part in it,"
Bat we deem it incredible that such an occur
renee should have been allowed to pass without
inquiry, and still more incredible that it should
be supported by no subsequent testimony from
some of the Rebel soldiers supposed TO be i'm
plicated. The matter however, seems TO be
put at rest by letter from Adjutant General
Schouler of Massachusetts, quoting first a
passage from his Annual Report for 1868, PIP.
52s and 9, as follows:
at will be seen from the following narrative Of the
regiment, that the LIST Massachusetts had very ad-
yanced position in the front the Plank Road Ia the
battle Of Charlottesville; far indeed that two or
three of the Rebel officers down. surprising II 10
be part of their own army. They were taken prs'
oners and sent TO the rear. Col. Mclaughlin relates
this circumstance
The regiment being in that position, Col.
MeLaughlin's report says:
"Atst o'clock ?. NJ. cayacade OF dozen or more
horsemen drove down tue Plank Road, when my men
Immediately opened fire upon Them they Immediately
turned around and rode furiousy back up the road.
From the official report OF the rebel Gen. Lee, am led
believe that Gen. Stonewall Jackson formed ono OF
the cavacade, and that he was killed by my men,"
IL is settled, therefore, that on the evening
when Jackson was killed, and at the exact time
when he was killed, the First Massachusetts,
Regiment occupied a position near the place
where he was killed, and such position that
several Rebel officers supposed it to be Rebel
regiment. To the regiment in that position and
ut that time rode out cayalcade of Rebel horse
men, received a yolley, and retreated in asst the
manner Jackson and his party rode out, and
were fired on, and retreated. 1t is scarcely pos
sible to doubt that the cavalcade which the First
Massachusetts fired into was Jackson and his
staff. aud that it was from this regiment, and
not from his own men, that the Rebel leader re-
ceived his death wound. The darling deluson
of his admirers that he was impenetrable by
a Yankee bullet must be deemed to bedispelled.

q freedman anywhere refuses to work
for whatever wages or absence of wages may
be offered him--f one Of the luckless -Four
Millions commits a crime-if planter, fast
fixed in the old ''patriarchal ways, proves I'M
qualified to make crop by Free Labor and SO
offers his estate for sale-if any trouble ever
occurs between Whites and Blacks-i the latter
are suspected of wish to right themselves by
force-if negro asks more for his labor than
an employer chooses to give, or agrees to work
for less than his White competitors choose to
take-there is trouble, which is improved by a
thousand journals to difluse and deepen antipa-
thy to the hapless Blacks. Never was there
evinced more signally the deprayed human
tendency to "strike him while he is down 7"
than in their case.
We should not have been enabled to abolish
Slavery in our late struggle, had we not been
unwittngly but powerfully aided by the efforts OF
our Copperhead Generals to save it. And now'
we should fail to convince a majority that an e1-
tension of the Right of Suffrage to Blacks Is
essential alike to North and South, to WHITE
and Black, but for the powerful help undesgh'
edly accorded us by those who scout the Sugges-
ton of Negro Suffrage and openly or insldiously
promote Negro Repatriation. They are dong
a good work without intending it, and will yet
convince many now hostile that the rights OF
each are safest under constitutions and laws
which affirm and secure the equal rights OF all.
Let none, therefore, be discouraged because
majority now seems arrayed against recog-
milton of the right Of Blacks to vote and give
testimony as well as to pay taxes, respond to
indictments, and sometimes be hung. We have
already learned "to labor and to wait we
shall yet learn to trust our adverSarles to DO
whatever is needful to awaken the public con-
science and soften the general heart. 1.-The
side whereon God is, is always the majority, v
though years may be required to demonstrate
it, as in the case of Emancipation. Let us,
then, abide in faith and trust that no generous
purpose was ever really defeated-no effort for
Justice and righteousness ever put forth in vain.

The requirement of the new State ConstItu
ton of Missouri that clergyman shall take the
oath Of loyalty before continuing their clerical
functions, drew out protest from Archbishop
Kenrick of the ROmish church, which strangely
enough has been followed by the refusal Of
several Protestant denominations to acquiesce
in the demand of the law. Considering the
history of Missouri during the last four years
the State rent by hostile factions now
loyalsts, now disloyalists uppermost, and
ruy large proportion Of the clergy
VIGOROUSLY siding with the latter-ths Con-
vention could scarcely have done less than i'm
pose test of fidelity on ecclesiastical as well a.
on civil officers. We do not believe the really
loyal clergy find anything in this oath to cause
them a scruple Of conscience. That The Ne0-
York Observer should make mouths at it, does
not shake our conviction. The opposition
which pervades several denominations is de-
scrbed by The St. Louis Democrat as proceed
ing from a conference Of Rebel chaptains
recently held in Centenary Church in this city,
and the rebelOus manifestations Of other clerical
representatives" The same paper adds: 80
far as our information goes, the colored clergy
men of the State, both in and out of st. Louis
have without exception taken the oath Of 10y
atty required by the new Constitution" They
do not seem to think it an insult or outrage to
be asked to affirm by an oath loyalty which
no man ever doubted. 1t is the white preachers,
whose loyalty in so many cases is doubtful, that
detect the insult, and resent the administration
of an oath which offers them the alternative OF
resigning their pastoral duties, or pursuing them
by help of little perjury.
