vite their attention to the following
undisputed authority, to wit:
Experience proves that the Color

unsurpassed"

and when ordered TO retire, marched
off as if on parade"
Secretary Stanton, speaking OF the
colored troops at Petersburg, said ,
1.-The hardest fighting was done by the
black troops. The forts they stormed
were the worst of all. After the affair
was over, General Smith went to
thank them, and tell them he was
proud of their courage and dash. he
said they cannot be excelled as sol
diers, and thereafter he would send
them in difficult place as readily al
