Tennessee, with a force largely outnumbereo
by the rebel armies confronting him. On one
of these he had but forty three hundred men

Colonel Woodford declined to issue it, on
the ground that he did not intend to use
the words white, black or colored IN any
official order. His answer was quite cpl
grammatic:
"Sir, when man approaches me with
the shield of loyalty before HIM, he seems
so bright that cannot see that he Is black /;
and when he comes with the shield of dis
loyalty, he looks so black that | cannot see
that he is white!"
