SOUND DooTRNR.- Gen. SLOCUM, who
commands in Mississippi, has issued an
order relating to the freedmen, from which
we extract the following:
The class Of citizens who are 90 blinded a.
to think Of still holding these colored men a.
slaves, and who, by their unkind treatment.
are doing al in their power to excite their hs.
tired, are the worst enemies Of the State. On
the other hand, the protested friend of the ne
gro, who d constantly dwelling on the wrones
that have been inflicted upon him BY his former
Government has not yet granted to him ali the
privileges TO which he 10 entitled, IL the wort
enemy Of his race. The eolored man can be
improved and elevated not BY making him
the enemy Of the dominant ace, among 1hom
he must live; not by making him the tool of
politicians; bat by impressing upon him the
importanceo Of education, and Of forming habits
Of industry and economy.
