0u:rages upon the Families OF Col.
Soldiers ---


EVANSVILLE, Ind, July Is, 1865
Editor Journa'
l write to make the enquiry if there
can possibly be any truth in the many
complaints made by the colored people
living in this city-the wives and child
rem of -colored soldiers, in the field
that their old masters, in some in
stances, and in many, cases their hired
soul drivers from Kentucky, are sneak
ing about the workshops of the young
and the residences. of their parents, for
the purpose of kidnapping and return
ing them to slavery. These very persons
they drove away from their homes, a
short time since, with curses on Mr..
Lincoln and the Government
But now they tell these poor unfortu-
mates that the war is ended and they
must return, land they even threaten 10
drag them back; and in some cases have
succeeded" sfuae- sdi lfigr
Yes, the wives of colored soldiers
have received this kind of treatment,
and this very day, some eight or ten of
these self constituted, Constitution
EoVing, hal sUbdued rebels are in Eg-
ansYllle as I write. Shall the laws of
the free and intelligent Commonwealth
of Indiana be overridden, and the peo-
pie be insulted by these acts of outrages.
Let it not be said that the city of Ev-
ansville is as deafto these matters as an
island of the sea inhabited by sayages?
! Let every lover of law and right. say
to these persons, visiting our city, that
they shall be protected, and bid welcome
if they come upon lawful and legitimate
business; but if they come for the pur-
/ pose Of Kidnapping the wives and
children of our colored soldiers, made
/ free by the patriotism of husband and
father, no punishment should be with
held from those proven guilty. @
Now, if these things be true, let the
| people be- up and be vigilent in looking
into the matter, keeping Q strict watch
by the proper authorities, and permit no
man, CT set of men, from Kentucky, TO
drag from the free soil of Indiana, any
I one, be his or her color what It may, to
slavery in Kentucky or elsewhere. y
