NEGRO HER0ISN.

The battle at Carrizal adds an
other to the many pages of our
history, which record the bravery
of our Negro soldiers. We have no
more courageous fighters and no
better patriots. than in our Afro
Americans.
Those whose memories bark back
to the Civil war will recall that at
first it was a question of grave
doubt whether the negroes, ex-
slaves, would make good soldiers.
The doubt did not last long.
In George Williams History of
the Negro Race in America we read
II thrilling account of one of tie
first battles in which colored troops
were entered. Ii was at Port Hud
son, a bitter fight, and they showed
their mettle, from the start.
Under the command of Col. Nelson
the Negro regiment marched all
night before the battle. They we're
given only an hour for rest and
breakfast, then on march again at
six, and at seven they were ordered
to charge the enemy. The odds
were all against them, in the batt-
lie, and in spite of seven desperate
charges, they were unable to cap
ture the battery. But, the historian
writes, they faced the enemy with
the GOODNESS and presician of an old
regiment on.parade". Gen, Dwight
has been severely criticized for
sending this regiment on the last
charge in this battle an imposs-
ible and cruel task; but not one of
them faltered. Their heroism, as
the historian points out, was quite
equal to that of the Greeks at Their.
mopylae, but has never been so
celebrated. Never to be forgotten,
however, is the bravery of one of
their.leaders. Andre Callioux, who
was known as the Black Captain .
In the last terrible charge, he was
heard to say;
Colonel, | will bring back these
eolors to you in honor, or report
to God the reason why"
The latter alternative was his,

Mr.. &. G.. Bates, Of 1882 South
Spring street, is erecting a house,
N the old site, which, when COM
pleted, will rank among the finest
owned, and occupied, by tolored
men in this city.
The residence is an eight room
house, with a cement floor base
ment, the width of the main build
ing. There arc five rooms down
stairs, three upstairs and an attic.
The house is raised two feet from
the ground, and will be very COM
manding and conducive to good
health. The floors will be finished
in hard wood; the walls are snow
white plaster; the rooms are large
,nd well-arranged. Concrete side
walks will surround the house, be-
ginning at the front walk. Every
piece of work is being well-done,
and good material, only, is being
used. There are many windows
in the house, all plate glass.
There is fireplace IN the reeep-
ton room, which Mr. Bates prizes
highly. It is a reminder of How
dear to my heart are scenes of my
childhood" The front room will
have draw doors, The front piaz-
"a extends the full length of the
house. The house will be lighted
by electricity and gas. On the
second floor are the bedrooms and
bathroom.
