J." Thcro are three da ys most noted in
s Soldier's I'm, the day of battle, pay
; day, and the day on which he musters
; for pay. The day after our arrival at
i Bunker Hill being tho last of the
, month, the troops were mastered. No
- advance was made. May 1st, in ac- j
. cordanee with a time honored custom,
' people every where move on tliis day.
t We therefore 'moved. Ou our way
- we passed the battle ground of Juno
t.l5th, 1863. Gen! Milroy 'a forces,
' when retreating after two days fight
ing . with Buells corps, were here at
tacked at daylight by a body of rebels
"concealed and fortified in a wood, and
,, wore scattered In every direction. As
yte passed along we thought, our time
: will come next
We marched through Winchester

from their windows upon us with
) evliiig faces, forgetful of the time
i when we drove the rebels out of the
. town, and they came and begged for
even crackers io eat In posing con
toast to these were the smiling faces of
(' the negroes, who, as it was Sunday,
- were dressed in their gayest clothing,
. . aad as we passed them, showered
lown blessings on our heads. It is
itrangei that with all their ignorance,
-. they knew1, enough to welcome Union
Boldiers. -We halted two miles south
pf town on the ground where the bat
rile between Milroy and Buell bogsn,
' and where I first heard the ping of a
rebel bullet Here we remained eight
" days, which time was spent in drill -
ing and picquet duty. I went over
the old battle ground, and helped to
sbury some of onr regiment who wero
, tilled and , hastily , interred. The
iigroves of many rebel soldiers proved
our men had fought well. But . I sup
f pose all traces of those groves are now
obliterated. No doubt the spirit of
avarioe has desecrated the resting
f places of those brave men, and the
l l "proogh-ahare turned np the soil above
them. But they , will all awake to-
igether. Let us revere their memories.

southward, and here the moui'.taina are
plainly seen on both sides. The land
is not so level nor so rich as at the
mouth, tut it is the most beautiful
country my eyc3 ever beheld. I am
glad to know that since the war this
eountry is being settled by Pennsyl
vania farmers. Under their honest,
industrious . hands, tho once Slavery -curied
valley will soon become a jiam
dise of freedom. ;
1 the meantime the circle of three
was faring sumptuously on the
products of the land. ' We now began
to speculate about the campaign. It
was seen that we were moving np the
valley in order to threaten Lynchburg
and the railroad, and thus ; draw away
a part of Lee's forces from Richmond.
An army tinder Gen. Crook was mov
ing up the Kanawha valley for tho
same-purpose. But it was a dangerous
position for us. ' Leo could at any
time send a force through the gaps in
the mountain behind us, and force us
to retreat down the Kanawha, leaving
Baltimore and Washington uncover
ed. , And nearly this same result oc
eured when Hunter made his raid on
Lynchburg. But .the utmost confi.
dence was placed in Grant., We felt
sure, too, that '. our beloved Lincoln
would be re-elected by an overwhelm
ing majority. . One tjbing was certain,
the soldiers would vote for liiml In
our company but one man , was tor
MoJlellan, nd he could neither read
nor write. i alter waros tounu that
the rebel soldiers were a unit in favor
of "the great commander."
Early on the morning of the 13 th,
our Bg't. set out on its way south
ward. Some cavalry had gone in ad
vance of us. We marched seven miles
and halted. Here a slight skirmish
had occured the day before, and it was
reported that Harry Gilinoro was

the spirit of improvement is abroad,
even if tho blamo must rest upon the

turbing the placid "Waters of indiffer

AMAI.UAATl-HOl'IAL EQUALITY.
The Rev. Mr. Butler, a colored
preacher, addressed the Kentucky Col
ored Convention, a few days ago, in
these words :
"The future of this country depends
not so much on what party isin pow
er, as it does on the removal of all
disabilities; they weigii down its peo
ple. Then nnd not until then, will
the country have pence. We don't
ask for social equality. I never saw
tho white woman yet that looked so
well, in my eyes, as a good brown col
ored woman. And if it wasn't so we
don't need their social equality, be
cause our friends tho white folks, have
kindly managed it so that wo have ev
ery shade to choose from, tho deepest
jet black to the purest white. Laugh-
ter.j juui as mere are no inuies pres
ent, allow mo to say that tho practice
of social equality has not k'en on our
side, but on tho part of the whites, who
in their dark and devious ways, wero
not always able, let us charitably sup
pose, to tell thein from white. This
social equality has not been sought by
us but they have run altci us j and
we aro now emancipated and free, they
haven't stopped. "
A voice "We'll stop it when we
get tho testimony."
les, tuats so. II icy liail. better
not cor.io my way, even now. We
say to them, let us alone ; wo don't
want any mixture. It tliey had left
mo alone I minht have known what
color I was ; but as it is, my greutest
troulile is to keep my hair just right.
Don't talk about social crjunlity. If
I was a white man in Kentucky I
would hide my head ; I wouldn't men
tion it with so many evidences stand
ing around my social equality. We
don t want any more of it. Keep .on
your side of the line and we'll keep on
our side nnd in the course of tune
we'll get back where God left us."
There is more fact and sense in these
brief paragraphs than in all the dec
lamations ot Democratic orators and
newspapers, touching this subject.
According to the census of I860
thero wero 582,782 mulattocs in the
United Stntes j of these 410,557 were
slaves. Of 172, 125 who wero free
bv fur tho lanrer Dart had nrohuhlv
obtained freedom in consideration of
the fact that their fathers were white.
Most of this amalgamation was not
voluntary on tho part of the blacks.
It was coerc.id in consequence of own
ership. Nor was much of it sheltered
l y the sanctity of marriage. A few tf
the white amalgamators like Col. Rich
ard Mi Johnson, whom the Democra's
elected Vice President, made a wife of
tho black woman whom he selected to
be tho mother of his children. But
(his was a raro instance. Tho most of
these nearly six hundred thousand mu
lattocs were of illegitimate parentage
and this without the consent of their
mothers, in any proper acceptation of
the inclining of that word consent.
This is not out of tho ordinary course
of events. Give any man, or any set
of men, arbitrary power over their fel
lowmenand it will certainly result in
tyranny. Alexander of Russia was
once complimented by being styled a
faithful guardian of his subjects. He
quickly replied that if he had really
earned that distinction his subjects
ought to congratulate themselves on
the existence of a fortunate accident.
Such rulers did not often happen un
der succession by prescriptive right.
Extending this thought farther, it
may with equal cogency, bo affirmed
that no set of men ever had bv law
anil social usage full nnd undisputed
control of tho persons of hundreds or
tiiousantls ot women, but tliev abused
their power to gratify their lusts ; and
it lias mattered little or nothing what
tho color of the women has chauccd to
be. '
We have shown that tho greater nart
of this amalgamation was in the
Southern States, where the slave-owners
and their sycophants were supreme.
So far as those States are concerned
the Republicans can prove an alibi.
They were not there. The Democrats
and conservatives presented sucli po
tent inuiicemcnts tluit all men oi Re
publican proclivities found it expedi
ent to keep North of tho Mason and
Dixon s lino, if they ventured beyond,
Viguanee Uommittcer equipped with
hempen ropes and tar and feathers
were rortain to be much too earnest in
their attentions to render a stay n;rrce-
able or safe. . It must bo admitted,
therefore, that the Republicans, if not
absolutely, are comparatively exempt
from participation in this mutter.
Jiut we cannot help directinp- atten
tion to another point. While there
were 416,657 muluttoes in the Southern
States, there were according to tho re
turns of the elections, 434,826 men who
voted Democratic tickets. Now we
do not insist that either of tho aggre
gates fully explains the other ; but,
considering all these circumstances, do
what we will, the two will come into
jnxta-position. .Nor is this aspect
modified but rather placed in stronger
relief, when the facts as to individual
States are considered. For instance,
in Virginia there were'79,776 mulat-
S pes and 72,413 Democrats; and in
diseissippi 20,365 uiulattoes and 26,-
876 Democrats. Proportions so uni
form would seem Ho have a definite
relationship, and that not altogether
recondite, fo each other.
Wo commend, therefore, all northern
Democrats and conservatives, who are
afraid if black men are allowed to vote
they will themselves be obliged to mar-
kry black women or at least to have

Wiie.v Aaron Burr returned to
