Negro-Soldiers.
The jiibjeob of organising and arming
(reed as gross is now a question of g reat
practical importance. IThe work is even
bow going ob to some ektent in South Cw>
olinh end Louisiana; and the plan of oc
eupyiig Florida with twenty thousand ne
gro volunteers; to serve nine months and
than remain’ as permanent occupiera of
that aoll which, during the forty-four yearn
we have possessed it ha# cost about a
thousand times "more than it baa oome to,
U another step in the same.aireotion.
Nothing would sooner break down this
rebeUion than the ooiverslon of the stal
wart and involuntary laborers of the
South, the great souroe of its strength, into I
hostile soldiers, to be held under striol and |
regular discipline—regular soldiers, not
guerrillas. Suoh a fotoe, eomposed of en
tire divisions and corps, would by a two
fold power, physioal land moral, paralyse,
and utterly extinguish that thing from
wbioh the rebellion sprung, for which the
war. on the rebel side U waged, and whenee
the rebels derive their power to wage it.
Are negroes fit materials of whioh to
w.v. soldiers ? This question is not to be
answered by theoretical reasonings based
upon preeonoeivsd abstract notions, which
i.v. their hue more from prejudice than
truth. In the British West India islands
nsgro troops have been used for many
yean in the garrisons,' and found to be en
tirely trustworthy.! In St. Domingo, in
1794, the freed slaves rallied voluntarily to |
the rid of the French Governor against the
English and Spaniards, at a moment when
he was on the point of being overwhelmed,
.and after a struggle of nearly three years,
during which Tulesrint L'Overture, a ne
gro, was appointed by the French au
. thoritiee commander-in-chief of the army,
' they turned the Coale of victory in his
favor.
In 1796 the Spaniards, by treaty, relln
quiahed to France: their claim to the island
and retired, leering the EngUeh to fight
alone. In 1797 the- EngUeh wero driven
from the liland by Touiasaint, after which,
under the energetio administration of that
extraordinary man, the colony flonriahed,
commerce revived, thewhltes were restored
to the possession of their estates, and whitee
and blaoka placed on political equality.
Thia atate of things continued until Napo
leon Bonaparte, First Consul, in 1801, re
solved to ruler* \ lUvery in St. Domingo.
Then, in resistance of thia great wrong,
' thia abominable act of ingratitude and per
fidy on the part of France, the negroes
once more took up arma, not for the French,
bnt for themselves, and after a tremendous |
conflict—which superficial people some
times talk of as a servile insurrection—
they drore the French from the island. So
whatever may be said of the negroes of the
Southern States, 1 thoie of St. Domingo gave
the most indubitable proof of their soldierly
qualities and their love of liberty.
But we need not go abroad for evidence to |
prove that good soldiers can be made of the
• men who, ten days ago, were deolared free
men by the President s Proclamation,'and
who, as auoh, ire as much bound to defend
the country as other men, and who, we aro
persuaded, areias willing as any other men.
General Jaoxsiit, in his memorable defense
of New Orlsafis, in 18U-IS, employed ne
gro troops, to Whom, just before the battle
of the Bth of Jan nary, and in the presence
of the whole army, he deUvered the follow
ing stirring address ■
. .Totht Xen.of‘Color:
Soldiers: From the shores of MobUe I
collected you to am*. 1 invite* you to share
' ih thapenls afid to divide the glory of your
- white oountrymen. I expected muoh from

United State* shall be Informed of your
aonduct onlthe preeentoooesfon, andthe

tout GenSil now praise* your ardor.
S?enemy {is near; “his sails cover the
takes;'’ hot the brave are united, and if he
finds us contending among ourselves, it
will be for the prise of valor, and fame, us
noblest reward.
General Jaoxsox, in a moment of great
publio dangir, did not stand cowering be
for* a vulgar prejudice. There was no
timid balancing of duty against expediency
with him His country needed n*», and
Jackbos cared not a straw for their oolor.
Whatever may have been his opinion of
Ut* soolal equality or inequality of colored |
men, h* hail the good sens* to know, and
toaot upon; the knowledge, that a blaok
man couldshoot a red-coat or stop a bullet
aa well as a white man. He did employ
them, and, after testing thsir qualities, he
told them that he expected much, yet they
had surpassed hi* hopes.
From all this it is perfectly clear that,
whatever estimate people may put upon
colored men, they make good eoldiers, and
are perhaps more obedient and manageable
than whits men. Any number of them
may he had without a resort to proscrip
tion ; and the very fact that they are per
mitted to hear a part in the war as organ
ised troop* will put an end to all danger
of servile insurrection, and bring peoeeohly
abont that great social revolution which
is now inevitable in the South; and—eon
. trary to ill the preconceived notions of
mankindjwith regard to the slaves of this |
~ country4-it may yet prove true of them as
of all other people—
Who would b* frv*. th«m*elT«* most strike lh* blyv!
At ail (events, it will put a stop to such
barbaHtlee as that perpetrated by the reb
els at Murfreesboro, where twenty unarmed
oelored tlsamster* were shot down in cold
'blood murdered.

Geueral Butler on Sonthein tile and j
' Bode'?*•‘Conversation with the!
New York Committee. j
In conversation with the Committee of \
tha cititene of New York, which wailed j
upon him on Thursday, tc* tender him the
honor, of a public dinner, General Bt.Ti.ta
gave a most interesting'account of bts ad
ministration in New Orleans and of the
condition of affairs and society he found
there. We make the following interesting
extracts: . ~ . ,
If they would allow him to be colloquial
he would: speak of a few things respecting
his course in New Orleans, whioh had been
carped at and severely criticised by ‘hose
who had been acoustomed to act with him
politically in times past —not for Ute pur
pose of injuring him, but the cause of the
oountry.. With reference to the slavery
question, hia views had-undergone a redi
cal change during his residence at New
Orleans, and while entertaining no preju
dices against his eld political associates,
who found fault with him on that scare, he
would only say to them, that if they had
gone there with the same sentiments that
he felt, they would have come away with
the same sentiments that he felt. [Laugh
ter.] He thought he might say that the
principal members of his staff, and. the
prominent officers of his regiments, with
out any exception went out to New Or
leans hunker Democrats of the hunkerest
sort, for it was but natural that he should
draw around him those whose views were
similar .to his own, and every individual of
the number had oome to precisely the same
belief on the question of slavery, as he had
put forth in his farewell address to the
people of New Orleans. This change oame
about from seeing what all of. them saw,
day by day. , .
In this war the entire property of the
South was against us, because almost the
entire property of the South was bound up
in the institution of slavery. This was a
well known fact, probably, but he did,- not
become fully aware of it until he hadspent
some time at New Orleans. The South had
$168,000,000 of taxable property in slaves
and $168,000,000 in all other kinds of prop
erty. And this was the cause why the mer
chants of N. Orleans had not remained loyal.
They found themselves ruined—all their
property being loaned upon planters notes
and mortgages upon plantations and slaves,
all of whioh property is now reasonably
worthless. Again, he had learned what he
did not know before, that this was not a
rebellion against us, but Bimply a rebel
lion to perpetuate power in the hands of a
few slaveholders. At first he had not be
lieved that slavery was thft oause of the re
bellion, but attributed; it to Daviß, Slidell,
and others, who had brought it about to
make political triumphs by whioh to regain
their former ascendanoy. .
The rebellion was againßt the humble
and poorer classes, and there were in the
South large numbers of secret societies,
dealing in cabalistic signs, organiied for
the purpose of perpetuating the power or
the rich over the poor.
When he saw the utter demoralisation of
the people, resulting from slavery,i‘ "I™'*
him that it was an institution which should
bethrußt out of the Union. He had, on
reading Mrs. Stowe's book—Uncle Tom s
Cabin—believed it to be an overdrawn,
highly wrought picture of Sourthern life,
but he had seen with his own eyes and
heard with his own ears many things
whioh go beyond her book as much as her
! book doeß beyond an ordinary eohool girl s
novel. He related an instance of the
shocking demoralisation of society at New
Orleans. There came into his office a wo
man twenty-seven years of age, perfectly
white, who asked him in proper -language
if he would put her in one of her fathers
houses. Her history was this. Her, father
had educated her in the city of New » ork
until she was between seventeen and eigh
teen years of age, and taken her Krone of
the metropolitan hotels, where he kept her
as his mistress. Not relishing the <*nneo
tion, and desiring to get away from, him,
she went to New Orleans— he followed her,
but she refused to; live with him, ntjiwhioh
he whipped her in the public etrtttt and
made her marry a slave. She afijfTward
resumed the unnatural relation,; gMng to
Cincinnati, but wae brought baofcSw her
husbandi or father with a child b*Hmging
to somebody. Ber father fl.cl oity
ht the time ef its occupation by sited
States forces leaving her in a stetqgT des
titution. She wanted to live in ong»f her
father's houses, but her etory was nMioredl
ile, and he deternfined to luvestijgte it
So hie surprise, it; was found tod» well
iknowu, and testimony of its trnthhtfas ob
-tained ftom A, B and C, without MSeuUy.
f Notwithstanding this fact, widelj|knowp
- as it was, thi» msn could b» electedTn Inui
aisna, in the city of New Orleans, 1 * Judge
of one of ,tho qetum. -I
0q one occasion qne„of bis aidSibrought
before, hist young woman,, almost white,
who had been brutally whipped and turned
oat of the house of her father, For thU
outrage the man had been madeto pay a
fine of $l,OOO and give the woman a deed
of emancipation; [Applause.] These were
the hind of chargee whioh had been brought
against him. [Cheers, and cries of ]
yV no right minded man could be sent to
New Orleans without returning an uncon
ditional anti-slavery man, even though the
roofs of the houses were not taken off and
Ike full extent of the corruption, expowd.
All the lower class of the people of New
Orleans were loyaL During the first four- .
teen days after the Union forces entered
the city, fourteen thousand look the oath of
allegiance •, and when he went on hoard
the steamer, on his return to the North, at
least one thousand laboring men came
down upon the levee, and uttered no words
except those of good will to him as the
representative of the Government.
General Butler continued by eaying that
the war could only be successfully prosecu
ted by the destruction of slavery, which
was made the corner-stone of the Confed
-6Tone of the greatest arguments whioh he
could find against slavery was the demor
alising influences it exerted upon the lower
white olasses, who were brought into se
cession by the hundred because they ig
norantly supposed that great wrong wae
to be done them by the Lincoln Govern
ment, as they termed it, if the North suc
ceeded. Therefore, if you meet an old
hunker democrat, and send him for sixty
days to New Orleans, and he comesbaok a
hunker still, he is merely incorrigible.
\ There was one thing about the Presi
dent’s edict of emancipation to which he
would call attention. In Louisiana he had
excepted from freedom about eighty-seven
thousand slaves. These comprise all the
negroes held in the Lafourche district who
have been emancipated already for some
time under the law whioh frees' slaves
taken in rebellious territory by our armies. |
Others of theso negroes had been freed by |
the proclamation of September, which de
clared all slaves to be free whose owners
Bhoold be In arms on the Ist of January.
The slaves of Frenchmen were free because
the Code Civile expressly prohibits a French
man holding slaves, and, by the 7th and Bth
Victoria, etery Englishman holding slaves i
submitted himself to a penalty of $6OO for
each. Now, take the negroes of secession
lata, Frenchmen and Englishmen, out of
the 87,000,’and the number is reduced to
an infiniteisimal portion ef those exoepted.
T>iU fact had come to his knowledge from
having required every inhabitant of the
city to register his nationality. After all
the names had been fairly registered, be
-exploited these laws to the English Mid
‘French Consuls, and thus replied to de
mands which had been made by English
and French residents of Louisiana upon
the government for slaves alleged to have
been seised.*’ [Applause.]
A Bjchxosd paper says that Bragg's
retiring from Murfreesboro in good order,
may be all -very well, but thot it looks like
one of bass.
