There is no color line in the volun-

can, recently. Over at Camp Alger,
among the 1000 white troops there,
is one battalion of colored troops at
tached to an Ohio regiment. The Off
GERS are all colored men, the major
commanding the regiment being Mr..
Young, who is the colored West Point
er in the army. A few days ago an Of
ficer of the colored troops stood by the
side of private in a Tennessee regi-
ment in one of the booths that have
been erected for the sale of all sorts
of things. The private made no move
to salute the colored officer.
Don't you salute officers in your reg
iment?" asked the officer, sharply.
The Tennesseean looked at the Off
Ger for a moment. Then he drawled
out:
'All coons look alike to me-"
He has been under arrest ever since
awaiting court-martial.
