died of disease or nearly che seventh of

mortality is to be attributed m part TO
their inacton in camp, for very small

widely separated occasions, 1t also np-
pears that more than half the colored
troops were constantly on the sick list.
These singular facts are yet to be account

for them is the lower mental and moral
tone Of the black soldiers, as compared
with the white.
