REBEL PRosPEcTs RESPECTING THE' CoLoRED
MAN-The.subject Of employing negro sold
ers is vigorously discussed inbDixie. The
Hon. GUsTAyUs ADoLPHus HENRY, Senator
from Tennessee, in the Confederate Congress,
in the great War Meeting IN the African
Church, at Richmond on the 9Th inst. said:i
"My idea is this; 4I,would. employ one or
two thousand negroes in the army. / would
bestow upon them freedom onathe battle
field, where they drove the enemy, from the
field. would then set then, free. But
would not then free their Ja0akes; s for what
sort of freedom would that be which would
entail upon the negro the care of his wife
and three or four children without the means
by which to, support them?. So,T tie ne4ro
don't care 0lto Is not free, so he IS free. I'm
fact The woatd beg you 10 take back his sOife aud
children and support them for, hips,"os
A correspondent of the Richmond Enquifsr
Of the 18th inst. proposes to make the slaves
fight the battle of slavery as follows:
H' seo1f Of the coffscripts let each soldier Sc
lect his negro Tor decliue ia altogether if he
choosesl to wait on him, march with him, be
drilled by him, fight by his side ID battle, and
forswbose presence and ACCOMPLISHMENTS the
old soldier shall be responsible. BY this
means you make two men out Of one, and
you have the bravery, the, xexperience, the
Intelligence and devotion OF the long tried.
veteran for she eoyerntnent of both. Let it,
not be said that the army will object to the
association as degrading to them. Remember
the action of each soldier is voluntary, he
can take his negro or decline it if he chooses.
But confidently affirm that not one soldier
in ten would decline"
In their Congress, in their newspapers, at
their war meetings, there is no subject more
prominent than this new phase of the "Ever-
lasting Niger" question, which it was un-
derstood was to be forever tabooed in the
new rebel confederacy.

degree the result Of smart ruse by Lieut..

about 10 O'Clock, this vessel was taken, with

CHARLESTON, April IS, 1851 so, 26O 600 of the
Confederate loan has been taken here. The news
of the secession OF Virginia is received here with
joy. The old secession gun was fred in front OF
the Courier office by the venerable Edmund kufin.
Something of change has come over the
spirit of the Southern dream since the above
exultant dispatches we're transmitted North.
There are not so many 'bursts of laughter as
there were, at the reception of the news of
Northern preparations for war. Sour Beau
regard who plumed, himself so highly upon
overcoming, with an army of eight or ten
thousand men, the starving little garrison of
Fort Sumter, is now upon a rapid skedaddle
with his ragmuffin chivalry, before the pur-
suing Yankees. There are no more secession
guns fred in Charleston. Where there were
so much exultation and defiance four years
ago, there are now desolation and mourmng.g
The high hopes of the. wicked conspirators
against the. Union and Republican institu-
tions have ended in dust and ashes. The
black and smouldering ruins of the once hap
by homes of Charleston should be warning
forever of the fate that awaits those who may
conspire against the Republic, yrsi -s'zr
