tice to the black soldiers of histy OF JUS
and to General Weitzel himself, m iian,nr
of Richmond was such as to have ReopSS
credit not only on that officer, but on, sev
colored man In his cOnmmand.
This is nothing new, for it is the gene
acclaim that the black soldiers are mo-
tractable to discipline, and easier kept from
depredations on inhabitants, than, the
whites: but this testimony is from a new
source. We wish that the; black soldiers
could give as good testimony to the depoft-
lnent Of Gen. Weitzel, and to his respect
for theidignity Of American soldiers. For
he stands charged in general report with
removing guard Of black soldiers which
had been detailed to protect the premises
and substituting guard of white soldiers
because she objected to the blacks.
This from the wife of the General who
had urged upon his confederate insurgents
the enlistment Of slaves for soldiers, could
have been intended only far an affront--
The ease with which General Weit4el
swallowed it, shows lack of regard for
the dignity Of the soldiers of his com mand.
II American soldiers are to be judged by
their race, the race which General lee
thinks good enough to fight for him., is
good enough to guard the house or his
wife. The general ascription to the good
conduct Of the black sold iers takes away
them; and from their General it was,
poor return for the valor they displayed
and the blood they so generously shedJ in
the fight for Richmond Gazette.
