of his Country." But, after my advent here, I
came to know that the day had even additional
importance, because it was the natal day also
of one who may, in a way, very properly be
called the father of this large company of neighbors
and friends gathered here to mark his
eightieth anniversary. As Washington is the
Father of his Country because of pre-eminent
services rendered, so may Mr. Carter, for the
time at least, be regarded as a father to us,
because of kindly service rendered by him and
received by us all how often! We are not here,
therefore, simply to celebrate the eightieth birthday
of a neighbor,--rather, it seems, to take
advantage of the occasion to show Mr. Carter our
appreciation of his generous and cheerful life
among us.
What one of us has not received from or
through him some friendly token, some feast of

Give Special Heed to these Directions.
This No. is the sequel to No. 1, the preparation for No. 3. The directions here given
take for granted that those on the cover of No. 1 have been studied and followed. In
this No. the letters formed from the first four principles are reviewed, and the stem-letters,
t, d, p, q, are introduced.
The Contractions used are as follows:—m.l., Main Line; c.l., Connecting LIne; m.s.,
Main Line Slope; c.s., Connecting Line Slope; m. Modified; pl., Parallel; P.,
Principle; E., Element.
The Diagram on the cover shows the Elements, Principles, and Scale of Lengths. The
Diagram above the copy, the part made at each Count, the Principles, and the way the
copy is to be placed in the lines.
SUGGESTIONS. 1. The only possible way of teaching Penmanship successfully in
a school, is to have all the scholars of the class write the same line in the same book at
the same time.
2. The order of instruction is KNOWLEDGE, EXECUTION, CRITICISM.
First, KNOWLEDGE. Explain the copy carefully, and have it analyzed into its Principles
and then into its Elements. Teach the nature, peculiarity, slope, beginning and ending
of each element; notice the connections between the principles, and the combining lines
between the letters; call attention to similitude and parallelism of parts and lines.
Second, EXECUTION. Let them first trace the copy with dry pens. Then have one line
in the column written, directing the pupils to be very careful as to position, penholding,
rests, and movements, which are explained in the Manual and on cover of No. 1. Do
not allow the pen to be raised from the paper until the line is written except in p. Be
sure the wrist does not touch; it should be high enough from the desk to allow a holder
to be passed under its right side.
Third, CRITICISM. Criticize the line written, by asking questions on each particular
given as knowledge, which the class answer by raising their hands. The errors lie,
of course, on each side of the truth. Thus, if the line is a curve, it may be curved the
wrong way, or too much or too little; if sloped, then too much or too little; the turn
will be correct, or too broad, or too narrow. Select one or two of the most prevalent
faults, discovered by the answers and by your own observation, for correction, direct
especial attention to them, and have one more line written that may be corrected.
Then criticize these same points, see how many have succeeded in correcting them, and
write one more line. Thus, criticize the execution of each line, and direct attention to
the correction of fault after fault until the whole is perfected.
GENERAL RULES. 1. Begin and end in the corners. 2. Every principle touches
both the head and base lines. 3. The Main Lines are straight lines and the sides of
the oval written downwards; the ovals, the second upstroke of b and v, and the second
and fourth of w. See Manual, Chap. III. The Connecting Lines are the rest of the
curves written upwards. The Turns unite main to connecting lines. Sometimes the
main and connecting lines unite in a point: this is termed a Connection. The line
formed between two letters by their connecting lines running into one another at the
middle of the space is termed a Connecting Line. 4. The odd numbers are used for the
upstrokes; the even, for the down. 5. There are five Elements, numbered in the order
in which they occur in the principles. There are six Principles in the small letters; from
these, with the addition of a few exceptional parts, all the small letters are made. 6.
The red lines mark the columns, each of which is divided into three oblongs or boxes.
Write down the columns always. 7. The m.s. is 50° from base-line.
N.B. Teachers will find our Manual of Penmanship a complete compendium of the
art of teaching writing. The Blackboard Tablets are invaluable for presenting the Elements,
Principles, and Capitals, of large size and perfect form. The Oblique Lines are a
great help to the scholars in acquiring correct slope.
SPECIAL DIRECTIONS FOR THE COPIES.
COPY 1. KNOWLEDGE. The 1's and 2's are pl. respectively. The top of 1 is a little
more than half across the box. Mind the slope of 2's, and the distance between them.
Observe Rules 1, 2, 3, 7. Analyze P.1 from Diag. on cover. P.1 has been fully explained
in No. 1, which see. Its analysis is P.1=3/4 E.1 + 1/4 E.2 + 3/4 E.3. Notice that the
second 2 is perfectly straight through 3/4 of its height and pl. to the first 2, with which
compare it. Call attention to the bend which forms the left side of the turn, and to the
way in which the right side slants up directly the turn has touched the base line. Caution
against making a broad turn by turning too soon on the left, or sagging down on the
right side.
EXECUTION. First, trace the copy a few times by count, giving special attention to
Position, Penholding, Rests, and Movements. Next, have one column-line written by
count. Thus, "Ready," (which means place the pen over, but not on the spot they are to start from,) "1, 2," "ready" or "up," "2, 1."
CRITICISM. Ask questions on all the particulars known. Thus, "How many began
in the corner?" How many did not?" "How many made the top of 1 far enough
across?" "How many not?" "1 is the right curve of the oval—How many made this
curve?" "How many the left curve?" (Show on the board what you mean.) How
many made first 2 straight? Second 2 straight through 3/4? Turn too broad? Too narrow? &c., &c., &c.

the motives which to-day appear to control Legislatures and
politicians, it would be this: "We admit the justice of the
enfranchisement of women, but we don't want women in politics. That
has been our sphere and we want to keep it to ourselves. There are
not honors and plums enough to go around now; we don't want to have
to divide them with women. Women, too, have a spying fashion of finding
things out which we don't care for them to know. They might not
approve of us, if they knew us better. Our machines are in good
running order now. We know just how to conduct an election; we don't
want the cogs stopped by a new class of unknown voters. We have
ambitions which we can carry out if things are as they are, but if
women came in Heaven only knows what might become of us. While we are
in, women must stay out; when we get out, other men can enfranchise
women if they want to."
I think no one who has labored to secure justice from a
Legislature to-day will deny that this is the correct description of the
attitude of the modern politician. It isn't a new attitude. Men
talked the same way before they admitted the right of woman's claim to
the ballot.

4. Requisitions for ordnance and ordnance stores, &c., not being
entered in the book of "Letters Received," the memorandum preceding
the endorsement will give the name of the officer making the
requisition, the name of the company or post for which the stores are
required, and the date of receipt of such requisition.
Where the endorsement on the requisition is a simple reference or
a mere approval, it is not necessary to record it in full in this book; a
memorandum showing the action taken being all that is required.
Fig. 1 shows the mode of noting requisitions and subsequent action
thereon.
5. Endorsements on letters, reports, &c., merely referring or forwarding
such communications, need not be recorded in this book;
a note (in red ink) in the book of "Letters Received," showing the
disposition made of such communications, being all that is necessary.
On recording a subsequent endorsement, however, (should any be
made,) reference must be made to the first one, although not recorded.--
See Fig. 2. In all other cases the endorsement will be recorded
in full.
It sometimes happens that the endorsement made on a communication,
at department or general headquarters, simply approves of
the views contained in the endorsements of the post or regimental commander,
&c., without stating what those views are; in which case,
both endorsements must be recorded in the book, in order to give
a perfect understanding of the import of the last endorsement.--See
Fig. 3.
6. Endorsements on certificates of disability simply ordering the
discharge of enlisted men, will not be recorded in this book. The
fact of the discharge being ordered will be noted in the "Book of
Discharges," which will be noticed presently. In all other cases
the endorsement must be copied; the memorandum preceding the
endorsement giving the name of the soldier concerned, the date and
place from which such certificates were sent, and a brief description
of the cause or causes for discharge. A note (in red ink) will also
be made referring to the entry made in the "Discharge Book."--See

good we could hardly believe it, and we asked each other over and over
if it could really be true. It hardly seemed possible that the terrible
struggle that had gone on for four years could end so suddenly. But
the news was true.
And when we began to realize what this news meant, how many
glad hearts there were. What visions of home, and wives, and children,
and sweethearts, and neighbors, and friends, arose and stood before
our minds. Really it seemed like a dream, and like a dream we
feared it would vanish away. But it was real. And I reckon there
wasn't a man in that long marching line that day who had ever seen a
happier hour than the one that brought to us there in that pine forest
in North Carolina that day the words, "Lee has surrendered."
CHAPTER XXXIII.
JOHNSTON SURRENDERS AT RALEIGH.
After receiving the news of Lee's surrender at Appomattox, we
pushed on toward Raleigh, passing Smithville on the way, where
Johnston had turned back to make his attack on Slocum's corps of
Sherman's army at Bentonville. When we arrived at Raleigh we
found Sherman's army there, encamped near the city, with Johnston's
forces some miles beyond. We halted before reaching the city, and
went into camp about a mile outside. In this position the forces
remained for several days, while communications were passing between
Sherman and Johnston, and Sherman was communicating with the
authorities at Washington.
We remained in camp near Raleigh until after General Johnston's
surrender. While the proceedings incident to the surrender were in
progress many of our officers and men visited Johnston's army. It
was a great curiosity to see Confederate soldiers in their camps. For
some reason I did not go to see the sight. I might have done so, but
I did not. I cannot tell why. I have often wished since that I had
gone along with the others. While so many were going daily to see
and talk with the Johnnie Rebs, I was busy inspecting the regiments
of my division. About as hard a day's work as I ever did was to carefully
inspect three good-sized regiments of infantry. This I did while
we lay near Raleigh. The proper inspection of an infantry regiment is
not an easy task. The men have to be looked over carefully, to note
the condition of their clothing, how they wear their uniforms, their
condition as to neatness and cleanliness, their soldierly appearance, etc.
Then their knapsacks must be carefully inspected, to learn what is in
them, and the condition of their contents; after which the inspecting

and supply of destitute and suffering refugees and freedmen, the Assistant Commissioners of
this bureau will at once make careful estimates of the amounts of provisions, clothing, &c.,
as may be needed for the present quarter for the supply of such class of persons as may be
within their respective departments, and they will hereafter, quarterly, make like estimates.
All estimates must be approved by the Commissioner of the bureau prior to issue.
Rations, fuel, transportation, and quarters, have been heretofore furnished to teachers of
refugees and freedmen, and to other persons voluntarily laboring for the benefit of such per-
sons, by certain commanders of departments, posts, &c., while others have refused to furnish
the same. Therefore, in order that there may be uniformity of action and a clear under-
standing in this matter, the following rules will be adopted, and will take effect and be in
force on and after July 1, 1865m to wit:
Rations will not be gratuitously issued to teachers of refugees or freedmen, or to other per-
sons voluntarily laboring for the benefit of such persons, but such teachers as are authorized
by the Assistant Commissioners of this bureau, while actually on duty in their fields of labor,
may purchase rations of the government under precisely the same rules which apply to such
purchases when made by commissioned officers of the army.
Free transportation will be granted to such teachers on government transports and military
railroads only.
Public buildings, or buildings that may have been seized from disloyal owners, not required
for military purposes, may be used for occupation for schools, teachers, soldiers' wives, and refugees.

WAR DEPARTMENT,
BUREAU OF REFUGEES, FREEDMEN, AND ABANDONED LANDS,
Washington, June 20, 1863
I. The following ration, being substantially that established in General Orders No. 30,
War Department, 1864, for issue by the subsistence department to adult refugees and to adult
freedmen, when they are not employed by the government, and who have no means of sub-
sisting themselves, is republished for the information of officers of the subsistence department
who are issuing rations to the persons above mentioned:
Ration.–Pork or bacon, 10 ounces, in lieu of fresh beed; fresh beef; 16 ounces; flour and
soft bread, 16 ounces twice a week: beans, peas, or hominy, 10 pounds to 100 rations;
sugar, 8 pounds to 100 rations; vinegar, 2 quarts to 100 rations; candles, adamantine or
star, 8 ounces to 100 rations; vinegar, 2 pounds to 100 rations; salt, 2 pounds to 100 rations;
pepper, 2 ounces to 100 rations.
Women and children, in addition to the foregoing ration, are allowed roasted rye coffee at
the rate of ten (10) pounds, or tea at the rate of fifteen (15) ounces to each one hundred (100)
rations. Children under fourteen (14) years of age are allowed half rations.
II. Issues of provisions to the classes of persons above described will be made on ration
returns for short periods of time, not exceeding seven days, signed by a commissioned officer,
and approved by the commanding officer of the post or station, and, when practicable, by the
Assistant Commissioner, or one of his agents for the State or district in which the issues are
made.
At the end of the month these original ration returns will be entered on a separate abstract,
compared, certified to, &c., as is described for issues to troops in paragraph 23, subsistence regulations of June 8, 1863. No subsistence stores will be turned over in bulk to any Assist-
ant Commissioner or agent whatever to be by him issued.
III. In many cases the classes of persons above named are nearly able to subsist them-
selves; in which event, only such parts and proportions of the ration as are actually needed
will be issued.

Major General, Commissioner Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, &c.

We leave tonight and have "done" China. We have visited
ten towns: Hong Kong, Macao, Canton, Shanghai, Nanking,
Hankow, Peking, Nankow, Shanghaiquan and Mukden. We have
had seven (7) kinds of money: Hong Kong, Canton, Shanghai,
Nanking, Hankow, Peking and Mukden. The funniest thing was
that the Peking silver dollar was worth in small silver 110 cents
and those who changed it could get in addition 6 copper cents.
The same dollar here is worth 100 3/4 Japanese cents, but the
100 cents of which it is composed in the silver with 116 Chinese
cents and with 100 cents face value is only worth 84 Japanese
cents: This is the worst dazzle-dazzle on money we have found.

anti-slavery people in 1845-1849,
and to which Garrison and
Phillips lent the prestige
of their names by writing a
paper and a letter.
It is needless to say that I
purchased the historic volume, and
ere I slept - that night - had
read its contents and been
deeply stirred by them. My
wife and mother inmates of the
home listened to my reading
and we all felt then the
end came, - that we had new
conceptions of the awfulness
of the institution of slavery.
profounder reasons for rejoicing
in the valor and courage of
the men who brought slavery to
an end

vi PREFACE.
affair most deeply affecting the national welfare and common
defence, and has subjected itself to the severest enforcement of
those legislative and military powers, to which alone, under
the constitution, the people must look to save themselves
from ruin. In the last extremity of our contest, the question
must be decided whether slavery shall be rooted up
and extirpated, or our beloved country be torn asunder and
given up to our conquerors, our Union destroyed and our people
dishonored? Are any rights of property, or any claims, which
one person can assume to have over another, by whatever local
law they may be sanctioned, to be held, by any just construction of
the constitution, as superior to the nation's right of self-defence?
And can the local usage or law of any section of this country
override and break down the obligation of the people to maintain
and perpetuate their own government? Slavery is no longer
local or domestic after it has become an engine of war. The
country demands, at the hands of Congress and of the President,
the exercise of every power they can lawfully put forth for its
destruction, not as an object of the war, but as a means of terminating
the rebellion, if by destroying slavery the republic may be
saved. These considerations and others have led the author to
the conclusion stated in the following pages, "that Congress
has the right to abolish slavery, when in time of war its abolishment
is necessary to aid the commander-in-chief in maintaining
the 'common defence.'"

toward the close of the war. The few days we lay in camp there witnessed
the stirring and eventful scenes around Petersburg which culminated
in Lee's surrender at Appomattox, and saw General Joseph E.
Johnson's army retreating through North Carolina, followed by Sherman.
About the time we went into camp at Faison the battle of Bentonville
was fought, probably not more than twenty-five miles from us.
While we lay in camp at Faision Station an incident occurred
which in its result was quite important to me; and it was so unique in
its character that I deem it worth relating briefly. Had the result
been different I might not care to tell the story .
Although no enemy was near we kept a good picket line, for we did
not know when he might appear. The Confederates had a habit of
coming at unexpected times, and experience had taught us the necessity
of constant vigilance. We were short of lieutenants, and I found
myself detailed one morning to take a lieutenant's place on the picket
line. At the same time that the Adjutant detailed me thus, he notified
Captain Riley of Company K that he had been detailed as brigade
officer of the day. I don't question now but what all was right and
straight in the transaction, but I felt at the time that I was being
imposed upon. Officers in the army lay much stress on rank, and
when I saw myself detailed to do a lieutenant's duty on the picket
line, and the captain of another company going out as brigade officer
of the day, I thought I was not receiving fair treatment, and so informed
the adjutant, using pretty strong language. But my hot words
didn't change matters any, and we went out just as we were detailed.
I was in charge o the men from our regiment, and fortune so
arranged matters that we were placed directly opposite the headquarters
of General Terry, then commanding our corps, and not more
than thirty or forty rods from his tent. Soon after we went on duty
Captain Riley, brigade officer of the day, came along the line and in
addition to giving me some general directions, instructed me specially
that it was the order of General Paine, commanding our division, that
no person be allowed to pass any portion of the picket line held by his
men except on a pass given or countersigned by him. The order
seemed unusual to me, and I asked him if he was sure he was not mistaken
about it. He said he was not mistaken, and the order as he
gave it to me was exactly as he had received it from the division
office of the day, Major Brazee. I had full confidence in Captain
Riley's word, and resolved to execute the order strictly, although I was
sure somebody was making a mistake.
Very soon a detail in charge of a sergeant came from the corps
hospital, desiring to pass through the picket line out into the woods to

116 CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
against the lawful government; holding public meetings
to incite the people to the commission of treason;
plotting treason; framing and passing ordinances of
secession; organizing and forming new governments
within any of the States, with the intent that they
shall become independent of the United States, and
hostile thereto; the making of treaties between the
several States; refusal to take the oath of allegiance
to the United States, when tendered by proper authority;
resistance to civil process, or to civil officers of the
United States, when such resistance is not so general
as to constitute war. Each of these and many other
public wrongs may be so committed as to avoid the
penalty of treason, because they may not be overt acts
of levying war, or of aiding and comforting the enemy,
which the offender must have committed before he can
have rendered himself liable to be punished for treason
as defined in the constitution. These and other similar
offences are perpetrated for the purpose of overthrowing
government. Civil war must inevitably result from
them. They might be deemed less heinous than open
rebellion, if it were not certain that they are the fountain
from which the streams of treason and civil war
must flow, sweeping the innocent and the guilty with
resistless tide onward to inevitable destruction.
ALL ATTEMPTS TO OVERTURN GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE PUNISHED.
Of the many atrocious misdeeds which are preliminary
to or contemporaneous with treason, each and
all may be and should be punishable by law. It is by
no means desirable that the punishment of all of them
should be by death, but rather by that penalty, which,
depriving the criminal of the means of doing harm,

sober, ascertaining the address of his family, go with him to
the express office and with his consent forward it to them,
leaving him enough to pay his fare home and follow on after.
We had several such cases.
Many ways of cheating the men were constantly practiced,
and with the utmost vigilance we could hardly stop it backed
up as the rascals were by some of the judges elected by the
people. A case reported in the Evening Post, of May 31st, in
which Mr. Kennedy, our energetic and faithful Superintendent
of the Police, was arrested for contempt of court, for not
immediately letting one of these rascals go, is as follows:
"CHEATING SOLDIERS.
THE ARREST OF MR. KENNEDY—CASE OF COLONEL COLYER AND THE JEWISH
CLOTHIER ALKERS.
The fact of the arrest of Mr. Kennedy on a writ of contempt, issued by Judge
Cardozo, and his subsequent return, has already been published. The facts in
relation to the arrest of Morris Alkers, in whose behalf the write of habeas corpus
was issued, were not published. It appears that Alkers keeps a clothing store
in Canal street. On several occasions he has visited the Soldiers' Depot corner
of Howard and Mercer streets, where he distributed his business cards, which
had a Masonic emblem at the top.
By this means he secured a number of customers among the soldiers, and the
Superintendent says he regularly cheated those dealing with him. One week
ago last Sunday afternoon, Alkers visited the depot during divine service, and
persuaded eight Western men from General Sherman's army to visit his store,
where he sold each of them a snit of clothes, ranging from fifty to one hundred
and twenty dollars each. Three or four of these men went west the same
evening. The next morning one of the others showed his clothing to the officers
in the depot, and was told that he had been grossly deceived.
He was advised to go to Brooks Brothers and learn the value of the goods,
which he did. He was was informed that a suit of clothing for which he had paid
eighty dollars could be bought for thirty dollars. Colonel Colyer then made
the facts know to Superintendent Kennedy, who detailed a detective to make
the man refund the money. Alkers did pay the soldier fifty dollars, retaining
thirty dollars for the clothing. The other soldiers who had remained in the city,
learning of the success of their comrade, visited the merchant and received more
than half of the money they had originally paid. To one of the men Alkers gave
two suits of clothing rather than refund any money.
At the request of the Colonel, Superintendent Kennedy detailed an officer
at the depot, with instructions to prevent Alkers from visiting the building and
distributing any of his cards, or enticing the men into his store. He persisted,
however, and yesterday was arrested while hawking his cards in front of the
depot in Howard street, and not in front of his own store, as was previously
reported."

94 CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
prevent Parliament from proclaiming any act of a subject
to be treason, thereby subjected him to all its terrible
penalties. The doctrine of constructive reasons,
created by servile judges, who held their office during
the pleasure of the king, was used by them in such a
way as to enable the sovereign safely to wreak vengeance
upon his victims under the guise of judicial
condemnation. If the king sought to destroy a rival,
the judges would pronounce him guilty of constructive
treason; in other words, they would so construe the
acts of the defendant as to make them treason. Thus
the king could selfishly outrage every principle of
law and justice, while avoiding responsibility. No
man's life or property was safe. The wealthier the
citizen, the greater was his apprehension that the king
would seize and confiscate his estates. The danger
lay in the fact that the nature and extend of the legal
crime of treason was indeterminate, or was left to
arbitrary determination. The power to define treason,
to declare from time to time who should be deemed in
law to be traitors, was in its nature an arbitrary power.
No government having that power would fail to become
oppressive in times of excitement, and especially in
civil war. As early as the reign of Edward III., Parliament
put an end to these judge-made-treasons by declaring
and defining all the different acts which should
be deemed treason; and, although subsequent statutes
have added to or modified thelaw, yet treason has at
all times since that reign been defined by statute.
POWER OF CONGRESS TO DEFINE AND PUNISH TREASON LIMITED.

usurpation, of the tyranny of exasperated govern-

PREFACE. v
laws rendering the holding of any slaves therein illegal, so long as
slavery is merely a household or family, or domestic institution
and so long as its existence and operation are confined to the
States where it is found, and concern exclusively the domestic
affairs of the Slave States; and so long as it does not conflict
with or affect the rights, interests, duties, or obligations which
appertain to the affairs of the nation, nor impede the execution
of the laws and constitution of the United States, nor conflict
with the rights of citizens under them. Yet cases might
arise in which, in time of peace, the abolishment of slavery
might be necessary, and therefore would be lawful, in order to
enable Congress to carry into effect some of the express provisions
of the constitution, as for example, that contained in Art.
IV. Sect. 4, Cl. 1, in which the United States guarantee to every
State in this Union a republican form of government; or that
contained in Art. IV. Sect. 2, Cl. 1, which provides that citizens
of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities
of citizens in the several States.
It is asserted in this essay that, when the institution of slavery
no longer concerns only the household or family, and no longer
continues to be a matter exclusively appertaining to the domestic
affairs of the State in which it exists; when it becomes a potent,
operative, and efficient instrument for carrying on war against the
Union, and an important aid to the public enemy; when it
opposes the national military powers now involved in a gigantic
rebellion; when slavery has been developed into a vast,
an overwhelming war power, which is actually used by armed
traitors for the overthrow of government and of the constitution;
when it has become the origin of civil war, and the
means by which hostilities are maintained in the deadly struggle
of the Union for its own existence; when a local institution
is perverted so as to compel three millions of loyal colored subjects
to become belligerent traitors because they are held as
slaves of disloyal masters, -- then indeed slavery has become an

AS A SOLDIER
year, President Lincoln was authorized to accept negroes
for any service. About a month later, the Secretary
of War, for the first time, authorized the raising
of negro troops, by directing General Rufus Saxton
to arm, uniform, equip and receive into the service
of the United States such numbers of volunteers
of African descent as he might deem expedient, not
exceeding five thousand, and to detail officers to instruct and command them. In September, the Union
victory at Antietam so strengthened the administration
that the President at once issued his preliminary
Emancipation, which was to go into effect January
1, 1863; and after that step all logical objection
to using the negroes as a military factor ceased.
On January 1, 1863 (now just fifty years ago),
President Lincoln issued his final Emancipation
Proclamation, and the project of making use of the
negroes as soldiers was then considered more favorably;
but not until the 22d of May following was the
Bureau of Colored Troops established in the War
Department. The tide then fully turned, for the
government itself undertook the work of recruiting
and organizing the new military force.

MRS. ELIZABETH ST. CHARLES EDWARDS
Los Angeles
MRS. ELIZA WARNER
President Meritus
California
The California State of Federation of Colored Women's Clubs was organized in Oakland in 1906 by Mrs. Eliza Warner of Los Angeles, California. For many years Mrs. Warner has been an outstanding character in the church, fraternal and civic life of the State of California and has given the better part of her service for the protection of womanhood, home and child.
Realizing the benefit derived from contacts with greater powers, the California State joined the great National Federation in 1908, and adopted a part of the National program for a part of the State's.
During the 28 years of the State of Federation a great deal of study and consideration were given to organizing women over the State into club life and instead of the one State organizer, an organizer was elected for each section of the State and many clubs were brought into the State work.
Aside from carrying out the State program many clubs in the various sections have built and maintained Institutional Homes for young women and children.

EDITOR'S PORTFOLIO.
WE have received a number of letters
from young correspondents who
have been getting subscribers for us,
and getting at the same time handsome
prizes for themselves. (See page 3 of
cover). One little girl sent three subscribers,
and we sent her a nice silver
fruit-knife. She then thought she would
like another to present to her dear
grandmother; so she sent us three more,
and got another fruit-knife. Another
little girl wanted a croquet set, and so
sent us twenty full subscribers. Others
have got wallets, books, note-paper, &c.
Will our little readers help us to
establish "THE NURSERY" prosperously
by doing a similar work?
For seven full subscribers we will
send one of the excellent Craig microscopes
with a prepared object-glass, all
ready for use.
OSCAR PLETSCH.---The well-known
critic of "The Boston Transcript," who
writes under the name of "Tom Folio,"
says,---
"What Landseer is to dogs, what
Rosa Bonheur is to horses, what Morland
is to pigs, what Teniers is to
Dutch boors, Oscar Pletsch is to children,
---their painter, interpreter, immortalizer.
It has been said that
Pletsch has never had a superior, and
probably not an equal, in his specialty
of sketching children. For presenting
the American public with the best drawings
of this admirable artist, Miss
Seaverns deserves the thanks of all
lovers of art. If you would obtain an
idea of Pletsch's genius,---his humor,
truth, geniality, and beauty,---get a set
of 'The Nursery,' and carefully examine
his designs. If you are not charmed
with his 'Keeping Shop' 'A Young
Hair-dresser,' 'The Professor,' 'A
Hard Day's Wash,' 'I've Been A-Maying,'
'You Can't Come In ,' 'The
Children's Auction,' 'A morning Call,'
'Cooking Dinner,' 'Getting Ready for
Breakfast,' &c., I advise you not to set
up for a connoisseur."
This admirable artist is now engaged
upon some designs made expressly for
"The Nursery," and which will appear in
our numbers for 1868. Three of Pletsch's
drawings appear in this number, as will
be seen by our Table of Contents.

168 PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY
was still unknown. Things were soon to change, however. After
Grant's regrettable assault at Cold Harbor on June 3, he decided
to move around Lee's right flank, across the James River, and strike
Petersburg from Bermuda Hundred. By June 15 Grant himself
had arrived at Bermuda Hundred where almost 50,000 troops
were preparing to cross the Appomattox River for the projected attack.
Early on the morning of the 15th Major General William F.
Smith's 18th Corps, previously detached from the Army of the
James to assist at Cold Harbor, began the advance. Crossing the
Appomattox at the Point of Rocks on the pontoon bridge the 6th
Regiment had been protecting, Smith's troops passed by this unit's
camp. The 6th followed immediately, joining some nine regiments
of a colored division under General Hinks. The puzzling events
of June 15 were by this time well under way. (27)
Smith's corps, consisting of his own and Hinks' division, numbered
at least 12,000 men. (28). Hinks' division of about 5,000 was
composed of three brigades. Of these, Duncan's 2nd, consisting of
the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 22nd regiments, totalled in the neighborhood
of 2,200. Hinks took his men along the main road. Smith moved
his division of over 6,000 to the right of the road, so as to face the
Petersburg defenses near the Appomattox River. By 10:00 a.m. the
corps was before the city's works, Smith having the advantage of
a position in a wood and Hinks being protected by a slight rise
in the ground between himself and the level line. Opposing the
bluecoats was a thin band of troops numbering about 2,200. Until
late in the day the corps' action consisted of several minor, though
sharp skirmishes, those involving the 2nd Brigade occurring at
Baylor's Farm. In one of them McMurray's company had several
men killed and wounded. For the most part, however, Rebel fire
was ineffective in the area of the 6th Regiment's movements. (29)
Just before sundown Smith ordered the long-awaited attack.
His own division of white troops, immediately to the right of the
colored division, moved off first. Hinks' colored soldiers followed

By the Militia Law the Governor is required to furnish the
troops with suitable clothing, and make arrangements with
the Government of the Confederate States to receive the
commutation money for the clothing furnished. This law
was ratified 20th September, 1861. Immediate steps were
taken to comply with the law, and although there was no
clothing on hand at its passage, before cold weather most of
the troops were supplied with clothing and blankets, at least
so far as to prevent any suffering.
An establishment for the manufacture of clothing was put
in operation in this city, immediately after the passage of
the law, under Captain Garrett, Assistant Quarter Master. I
enclose herewith a statement, marked "A," of the clothing
and camp and garrison equipage manufactured at that establishment
and turned over in the fiscal year ending September 30th.
Independent of the articles manufactured here, many purchases
had to be made elsewhere to supply the troops. I enclose
herewith a statement, marked "B," of the clothing and
camp and garrison equipage issued by Major W. W. Pierce,
Quarter Master, for the year ending September 30th.
The cost of every article of clothing has increased at such
rapid rates within the last few months, that they are now
more than double the price they were twelve months ago.

joined General Taylor's command at Aqua Nueva. The
combined forces defeated Santa Anna at Buena Vista on
23 February 1847, ending the war in the north.
Marching from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Brig. Gen.
Stephen W. Kearny occupied Santa Fe, New Mexico,
and continued overland to California where he joined a
naval task force. A column under Col. Alexander W.
Doniphan marched south from Santa Fe, captured Chihuahua,
and joined General Wool's command at Saltillo
on 21 May 1847.
In the decisive operation of the war, Maj. Gen. Winfield
Scott, supported by the Navy, captured Vera Cruz
on 26 March 1847 and after defeating the Mexican Army
at Cerro Gordo, Contreras, Churubusco, and Molino Del
Rey stormed Chapultepec and captured Mexico City on
14 September 1847.
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, 2 February 1848,
restored peace and ceded New Mexico and California to
the United States.
Demobilization was a continual process during the
Mexican War as it had been in previous wars. At the
conclusion of hostilities whole units were demobilized
without prior planning. Army casualties in the Mexican
war were approximately 1,700 men killed incident to
battle, 4,000 wounded, and 12,000 who died from other
causes.
During the war Dennis H. Mahan, a professor at the
United States Military Academy, published a little book
that became the prototype of all United States field service
regulations. Both his instruction and his book,
Advanced Guard, Outpost and Detachment Service of
Troops, had considerable subsequent influence upon operational
thinking in the United States Army.
In first amphibious landing, Army forces debarked at Vera Cruz.

suffered with their unhappy and proscribed chattels. The white
men of the North, who, from their own hard-earned and
hoarded wages, will support their unemployed craftsman rather
than let him work for under wages, would hardly have permitted
men to work beside them for nothing, and throw their babies
as property into the scale with their unrequited toil.
Sir, I believe this war was inevitable. The insane ambition
and mad, craving lust of the South could be checked alone by
the results of war. It had closed its ears hermetically against
the voice of persuasion and reason. And wherever slavery
existed that ambition and that lust had root. Slavery did
cause this war. It was destined to cause war, and if not put
in process of eradication, will involve our posterity in war. Is
it not fitting, therefore, that the result of the war shall be the
end of slavery? The President’s proclamation does not propose
to touch the institution in the Border States. But, as I
have said, with the market for the annual crop gone, it will be
found to be of no more value in Kentucky than it is now found
to be in Missouri, with her free surroundings. And then we
will come to what I am prepared to say very few words upon,
the compensated emancipation proposition of the President.
The countless millions, the millions of millions that we have
heard from the other side are to be expended in compensated
emancipation, will be somewhat reduced when we come to remember
that it is only the loyal men of the Border States that
we will have to deal with.
Missouri is here, asking $10,000,000 on condition that she
emancipates her slaves within a little more than a year. In
God’s name, let us give it to her; and if Kentucky and Maryland
make the same claim, let us give it to them, and pay our
full share out of the results of our own hard labor at the
North. Let us even, by an addition to our already grievous
burden of taxes imposed by this war—slavery’s own offspring
—share the losses of those whose slaves shall be exalted into
freemen.
But, say the gentlemen, the proclamation is unconstitutional
and illegal, and therefore void. I fear self-interest blinds some
of them. It is a professional maxim that he has a fool for a
client who takes charge of his own case. Certainly, no disinterested
lawyer will dispute the validity of the proclamation of
the commander-in-chief inviting to our flag people of the rebel
States, and promising them protection and the enjoyment of
constitutional rights. But will the proclamation be enforced?

Woman Citizen
April, 1931
"Party Clean-ups Are the Crying Need"
Says
Carrie Chapman Catt
Distinguished Suffrage Leader
Wanted, feminism in politics. Emily Newell Blair says so. Mrs. Blair, sunny-tempered, broad-visioned and one time hopeful, confesses herself (in her recent Journal articles) to be pessimistic and discouraged about women in politics. Her conclusions are drawn from seven years' experience and hard work as vice-chairman of the National Democratic Committee.
She admits that women vote, sit in conventions and serve on committees, but instead of supporting independently their own ideas and policies, she charges that they have been widely guilty of merely doing what men want them to do and of voting as men direct them. Mrs. Blair finds that women have created no progressive action for their parties and that women form no bloc of political power.
Perhaps. But there is a twin comment and one should not be made without the other. The masses of men, also, fail to support independently their own ideas and policies and they walk up the chalk line to vote exactly as their higher-ups tell them to; in fact, men and women behave so much alike in politics that the comment should be confined to the admission that the great masses of men and women have not really grown up yet and are more or less in leading strings.
A Republican woman in high political leadership has been known to express views so similar to Mrs. Blair's as to reveal the fact that the same sad thing that has happened in one party has also occurred in the other.
Mrs. Blair suggests that the remedy is the application of more feminism. I believe this is the comment of the other party also. Mrs. Blair says there are two ways only in which women may become a power in politics and such power she regards as essential. One is by holding office and the other is by becoming effective in political organization. Either or both calls for more feminism.
But is the feminism a revival of something we once had or is it a brand-new attitude for which modern politics is yearning? Personally, while I agree with Mrs. Blair in many of her comments, I do not think her diagnosis is correct.
The fact is that when the new women voters walked through the opened door into American politics there was one great crying need throughout the national and that was for a thorough party cleaning. The parties have not been cleaned yet and, apparently, are as much in need of it as on the day women were enfranchised.
Said Professor McMaster, of the University of Pennsylvania, under the title, The Political Depravity of the Fathers:
"A very little study of long forgotten politics will suffice to show that in filibustering and gerrymandering, in stealing governorships and legislatures, in using force at the polls, in colonizing and in distributing patronage to whom patronage is due, in all the frauds and tricks that go to make up the worst form of practical politics, the men who founded our state and national governments were always our equals and often our masters."
So the years passed. Votes were bought, nominations were engineered, legislation was passed or lost by political strategy, statesmen degenerated into politicians, poor men made fortunes in politics, and the price of election has flown so high that it must withstand continual investigation.
There is a Tammany Hall in New York, a Republican machine in Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia, which is even worse. Neither men nor women have seriously attempted to remove the dishonorable use of money, corruption, fraud and indecent attemps to cover up the wicked things that have been done. No feminism in politics and no masculinity in or out of politics can contribute much to American self-government until the voters within the nation drop every other question and devote themselves to the institution of honesty and decency in the administration of party politics. We shall never be a great nation, our parties and politics will never be worthy of the respect of our own citizens and neighbors, until this housecleaning is thoroughly done. Every dishonst trick, every over-expenditure, every purchased office, must be recognized by all voters as a political crime and political honesty must be made the common standard of all parties before any simple remedy can be applied effectively.
A wide cry from women of all parties that they will no longer support a party that is dishonest, covers graft, or guarantees profit to certain of its men, would startle the nation and the world; it would awaken respect where it does not now exist. It would put the right kind of feminism into politics and take out the wrong kind of masculinity. Instead of more women in office and more women effectively working in the parties, the great need is a crusade conducted by men and women against the positive wickedness of their parties.
Suppose Mrs. Blair and her friends, a Republican and her friends, conduct a Round Table upon these questions:
Are women getting out of politics all they should?
Are women giving to politics all they might?
Does politics call for more feminism, less masculinity, or more decency?
When the conclusion has been reached, there will be need of another Round Table to answer the next question:
How shall the result wanted be attained?

18 Document, No. 1. [Session
subject at length. I have not yet had the pleasure of seeing
that opinion, and now lay the matter before you, and recommend
you take such steps as will preserve the rights and honor
of the State. It may well be doubted if the officering of the
whole of our troops does not belong exclusively to State authority,
as by strict reference to the Constitution they may
be found to be in point of law, militia. It is mortifying to
find entire brigades of North Carolina soldiers in the field
commanded by strangers; and, in many cases, our own brave
and war-worn Colonels are made to give place to Colonels
from distant States, who are promoted to the command of
North Carolina troops over their heads to vacant Brigadierships.
Some of these promotions are charged to North Carolina,
which enables the authorities to say that we have had so
many appointments, when in fact we have not—the appointees
not being citizens of our State. This is fast breaking down
the pride and patience of our officers, many of whom are reporting
to me their intention to resign, alleging that the road
to honorable promotion is almost closed to our citizens. This
is not right, and forms a just cause of complaint both in our
army and with our people at home. We are willing that our
soldiers should follow any General capable of leading them,
but we contend that as a matter of sheer justice, our soldiers
are entitled to receive their fair proportion of honors won
by their gallantry and endurance.
I would also recommend that the existing prohibition against
the distillation of spirits from all kinds of grain be continued
during the war. There is no grain to be spare for such purposes,
and all the medical needs of the country and army can be
abundantly supplied by the liquors made from the fruit crop.
Should even the supply for the army fail, it cannot be doubted
that it is much better for the soldier to go without spirits than
that his wife and child should be without bread.
I also recommend that a law be passed providing for a rigid
punishment of all persons who may be convicted of speculating
in any of the necessaries of life, under the false pretence
of being government agents.

In 1861 the people in the mountainous western counties of Virginia
strongly opposed secession. When the rest of the State voted overwhelmingly
in a statewide referendum on May 23, 1861, to withdraw from the
Federal Union, the loyal western residents, in a series of conventions at
Wheeling, voted to "secede" from Virginia and set up their own State. The
bill for admission passed Congress on December 11, 1862, and on June 30,
1863, by Presidential proclamation, West Virginia became the 35th State.
For years, however, many Jefferson County residents refused to use
"West" as part of the designation.
Harpers Ferry never recovered from the devastation of the Civil War.
Staring at the stark chimneys and charred remains of once impressive
buildings, one of the townspeople concluded: "This place will never be
anything again unless the government rebuilds the armory - and it is
doubtful if that is ever done." The Government never did, and the ground
on which it stood was auctioned off in 1869. Mills and factories remained
closed. The railroad did a small percentage of its previous business. Hopes
for a renewal of the town's former prosperity were dashed in 1870 when
a flood destroyed or badly damaged nearly every building on Virginius
Island and along the south side of Shenandoah Street. Subsequent floods
destroyed still more of the town and ruined the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal. The canal was finally abandoned after the flood of 1924.
Inundated to often by high water, the residents of Harpers Ferry
eventually left the old buildings in the lower town and moved up the
heights to the high ground of Camp Hill and towards Bolivar. For years
the old shops and stores, those that remained, stood empty, neglected, and
deteriorating. When Harpers Ferry became a national historical area, the
National Park Service began an intensive campaign to preserve the fragile
remains of the 18th- and 19th-century industries, homes, churches, stores,
and shops, and to restore much of the old town to its pre-Civil War
appearance, a time when it was at its peak as a thriving, bustling
industrial community and transportation center.
Today, while much of the old historical town remains, few of the
structures that figured prominently in John Brown's raid survive. (See
maps on pp. 29 and 30.) The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridge across the
Potomac, by which Brown and his raiders entered Harpers Ferry in
October 1859, was destroyed by Confederate soldiers early in the Civil
War. More modern structures span the river now, but the stone supports
of the old bridge can still be seen. Nothing at all remains of the bridge
across the Shenandoah. The stone piers now standing in the river near the
Point section of the town are from a later structure.
The ruins of the armory buildings stood for many years after the war
and eventually disappeared. In 1893 the site itself disappeared under 30
feet of fill when the B & O Railroad changed the line of its tracks. The
outlines of two of the armory buildings have been marked by flat stones
and the spot where the enginehouse was located is marked by a small
monument. The enginehouse itself (now called "John Brown's Fort")
stands nearby on the old arsenal grounds, and is little changed from its

THE NEGRO AS A SOLDIER
BY GEORGE R. SHERMAN, *
[Captain Seventh United States Colored Infantry and Brevet-Lieut.-
Colonel United States Volunteers.]
WHEN we remember that in all the wars of our country, negroes have always shown that they were able and willing to fight, and that patriotism burned brightly in their hearts, though they were usually looked upon and treated as chattels, that at Bunker Hill, standing shoulder to shoulder with the white yeomanry of the colonies, negroes stood firmly, and bore their part bravely; that a Rhode Island regiment of manumitted slaves did valiant service for their state and country in the Revolutionary War; that as early as June 28, 1778, negroes were to be found serving in as many as eighteen brigades under Washington; that at New Orleans, in the war of
* For many of the facts here related I am indebted to a paper by William Elliot Furness, Major of the Eight Regiment United States Colored Troops, which has been read by him before the Illinois Commandery of the Loyal Legion; and by his permission I have copied copiously therefrom.

JOHNSON'S UNIV. CYC. VOL. III
Libe'ria, a republic on the western coast of Africa,
founded in 1820 by the American Colonization Society
(see COLONIZATION SOC.), and established as an independent
state in 1847, is between 4° 20' and 7° 20' N. lat., and
stretches along the Atlantic from the Sherboro River on the
N. W. to the Pedro River on the S. E., a distance of about
600 miles, extending inland from the coast from 10 to 40
miles. Its area, which is steadily increased by purchases
from the native tribes, was estimated in 1890 at 14,300 square
miles. The shore is elevated and rocky in the S. E., but
otherwise low, generally sandy or gravelly, seldom marshy.
In the interior the country rises, swelling into forest-covered
hills and lofty mountain-ranges traversed by fine valleys.
Many streams flow to the ocean, but none of them is
navigable for more than 20 miles from the mouth; the
most important are the St. Paul, navigable for 18 miles,
and having 7 feet of water at low tide on the bar at its
mouth; the St. John, the Junk, and the Cape Mount River.
The climate is thoroughly tropical. Of the two seasons,
the dry lasts from October to June, and the wet from June
to October. In the dry season the average heat is 84° F.,
the thermometer seldom rising above 90° in the shade; in
the wet season the average heat is 76°, the thermometer
never falling below 60°. To the white man the climate is
deadly---not from its excessive heat, but probably from
miasmata; and even the negro, when born and reared in
another climate, suffers on his arrival here from the so-called
African fever. The natives, on the contrary, are
robust, healthy, and long-lived. The soil is generally very
fertile. The principal farming districts lie along the banks
of the St. Paul. Here the sugar-cane grows luxuriantly;
one year's produce was estimated at 300,000 pounds. Cotton
is indigenous, and yields two crops annually. Coffee
of excellent quality is cultivated with success in the interior.
The cereals, maize, rice, wheat, barley, and oats;
the vegetables, cabbages, peas, beans, tomatoes, cucumbers,
etc.; and the fruits, lemons, oranges, guavas, tamarinds,
pomegranates, pineapples, African peaches, etc., are easily
raised. The forests contain teak, mahogany, rosewood, hickory,
poplar, several kinds of gum trees, dyewoods, medicinal
shrubs, and different varieties of useful palms, among which
is the nut-bearing palm, from which palm oil is made.
Wild animals, the elephant, hippopotamus, crocodile, leopard,
etc., are now nearly exterminated. Of minerals, iron
abounds, and copper is said to occur in the interior. The
inhabitants of the republic numbered, according to the
largest estimates, about 1,068,000, of whom about 18,000 are
Americo-Liberians, and the rest natives. The natives belong
to different tribes: the Veys, mostly Mohammedans,
among whom the Protestant Episcopal Church of the U. S.
has established a mission school at Totocoreh; the Pessehs,
entirely pagans; the Bassas, among whom the American
Baptist missionaries established a mission in 1835; the
Kroos, mostly idolaters; the Mandingos, the most gifted
of the tribes under the jurisdiction of the republic; and
others. The Americo-Liberians have a regular system of
schools, and are progressing in all branches of civilization.
Industrial processes and manufactures have been started
among them, and a lively trade has sprung up between the
republic and the U. S., Great Britain, Belgium, and Hamburg.
Palm oil, sugar, cotton, coffee, ivory, camwood,
arrowroot, etc. are exported; cotton goods, cutlery, powder,
and tobacco are imported. The country is divided into
four counties---Mesurado, Grand Bassa, Sinou, and Maryland.
The capital, Monrovia, is situated on Cape Mesurado,
and has about 3,400 inhabitants. Other settlements
are New Georgia, Caldwell, Virginia, Edina, Greenville,
Lexington, Buchanan, Millsburg, etc. The annual revenue
is about $100,000, almost exclusively derived from customhouse
duties. A public debt of $500,000 was contracted in
1871. The constitution of the republic is modelled after
that of the U. S. All men are born free and equal. Elections
take place by ballot, and every male citizen who possesses
real estate has the right of suffrage. But no white man
can be admitted to citizenship, and none but citizens can
hold real estate in the republic (a temporary provision).
The president is elected for two years; the senators for
four; the representatives for two. Each county sends two
senators to the legislative assembly, and one representative
for every 10,000 inhabitants. The first president was
Joseph Jenkins Roberts, who served four terms, from 1848
to 1856, and was once more elected in 1871. Hilary R. W
Johnson was elected president May, 1883. The officia[l]
language is the English. (See Stockwell, The Republic of
Liberia, its Geography, Climate, Soil, and Productions, wit[h]
a History of its Early Settlement, New York, 1868, and Liberia;
the Americo-African Republic, New York, 1886.)

and furious struggles took place to carry the works by storm,
but often on the verge of success, the federal were as often repulsed
and driven back by the indomitable bravery of the
enemy, the federals were eventually ignorminiously repulsed
with heavy losses, Federal loss 668 in killed, wounded and

the gap with 13,000 men and well fortified the same, This
gap is a cleft in the Cumberland mountains, and is so deep
and narrow that there is through the gap for only a single

its possession with the utmost tenacity. No such result
followed. When the rebels were informed of the approach

of Color, To Arms!" He published it as a broadside as well as in pamphlet form. Four days later he wrote to Gerrit Smith:
"I have thought much of your letter to Mr. May, expressing the wish that we should send at least one colored company of soldiers from the State of New York to make part of the regiment now forming at Readville, Massachusetts. At first I saw some ground for hesitation. Subsequent reflection and consultation with our friend Mr. George L. Stearns from Boston have convinced me that your suggestion should be carried out. I have therefore already set myself to the work of raising at least one company in this state to be a part of the first colored regiment of Massachusetts. I have visited Buffalo and obtained seven good men. I spoke here (Rochester) last night and got thirteen. I shall visit Auburn, Syracuse, Ithaca, Troy and Albany and other places in the State till I get one hundred men. Charley my youngest son was the first to put his name down as one of the company. It is a little cruel to say to the black soldier that he shall not rise to be an officer of the United States whatever may be his merits; but I see that, though coupled with this disadvantage, colored men shall hail the opportunity of getting on the United States uniform as a very great advantage. I sent you a few days ago my call upon colored men to enlist. It was published in all the papers here, and is having a good effect...I shall be in Syracuse on Wednesday for the purpose of getting men for this company, and in Troy on Thursday, Friday in Albany. I shall go to New York and at the request of Mr. Stearns go to Philadelphia I shall revisit the places named and make calls at others in the State, for the purpose of accommodating those who wanted time to decide."
In the April, 1863, issue of DOUGLASS' MONTHLY, the editor gave considerable space to appeals for enlistment in the 54th Massachusetts. He urged his readers to send him the names of volunteers and told them not to wait until New York State authorized a colored regiment.
$20,000 ORATORY FROM AN EX-SLAVE
In March, 1855, Frederick Douglass delivered an address to the New York State Legislature. An eyewitness (William H. Topp, of Albany) describes the crowded audience, and their rapt attention to the speaker, as the grandest scene he ever witnessed in the Capitol. Among those whose eyes were riveted on the speaker full two hours and a half were Thurlow Weed and Lieutenant Governor Raymond; the latter, at the conclusion of the address, exclaimed to a friend, "I would give twenty thousand dollars, if I could deliver that address in that manner."
—James McCune Smith, in Introduction he wrote for MY BONDAGE AND MY FREEDOM, by Frederick Douglass, published 1856 by Miller, Orton and Mulligan.

64 EMANCIPATION AND COLONIZATION.
The city of carmen has about 5,000 inhabitants; its aspect from the port is
very picturesque and beautiful. Mariners, on their entering, may be guided by a
fine fixed light in the Indian village opposite the place, which light can be
seen fourteen miles at sea. The principal commerce of this town consists in the
extraction of logwood, the annual exportation of which is from four to six hundred
thousand quintals. The price generally ranges from 75 cents to $1.25,according
to the demand, or the great or small supply in the market.
The logwood is carried to Carmen in canoes of from four hundred to a thousand
quintals burden, from Tabancuy, Chiboja, Candelaria, Chumpan, the Ranchos
of the East, Palisada, and principally from all the ranchos on the river Usumacinta,
passing through Palisada. The interior of the country is generally swampy,
and its greatest production to this day is logwood. There is also in the interior
of the country a large quantity of cedar, mahogany, and divers other kinds of
fine and valuable timber, especially for ship-building; but, until now, they have
not been an object of great extraction or exportation.
There are at present ten or twelve establishments for the elaboration of sugar
and aguadiente (sugar-cane rum,) and with time these articles may be produced
in abundance for exploration.
What is now considered as the territory of Carmen has about 20,000
inhabitants.
If the country was more thickly peopled, so as to facilitate labor for agricultural
pursuits, it would probably be one of the richest tracts of country in the world.
Steam communications could be established from Carmen to the rivers of
Palisada, Chumpan, Candelaria, Mamantel, and Cano de Tabancuy, by deepening
a little the bars of these rivers, which could be done without any great outlay,
and with lucrative results to any one who would undertake the enterprise.
The distance by sea from Vera Crus to Laguna is two hundred and seventy
mile; from Lugano to Frontera de Tabasco, by sea, fourth-eight miles; or to
San Juan Bautista on hundred and fourteen miles by sea and river.

The sate of Yucatán contains 47,253 square miles, just the area of Pennsylvania.
Siliceo, in his Memoria, published in 1857, gives Rigil's computation of
the inhabitants in 1853 as 668,623: cities, 5; incorporated towns, 7; haciendas
1,388; rancherias, 2,040.
M. Gilbert, an intelligent traveller who visited Yucatan in 1801, estimated
the population at 500,000.
Yucatan was, under Spain, a captain generalcy, distinct from the vice-royalty
of Mexico; it was called the Intendancy of Merida.
Humboldt, in his New Spain, vol. 2, p. 244, writes of the intendancy of
Merida, in 1808, as follows:

(c) PREAMBLE.
"WHEREAS, unconditional slavery exists to a fearful extent amongst us as a nation, in violation
of those principles that moved our fathers to the dreadful struggle of the Revolution---
"that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable
rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
WHEREAS, the aristocracy of the South are determined to perpetuate it by means scarcely
less dreadful than the tortures of the Inquisition, and the [bastard] aristocracy of the north
are aiding their "chivalrous" compeers of the South in their inhuman endeavors by misrepresenting,
slandering, threatening, and imprisoning those who boldly espouse the cause of
universal freedom, and further by circulating publications and making speeches so highly
incendiary as to excite mobs, an I impel them to their ruthless work of terror and destruction
WHEREAS, the crisis has arrived at which the descendants of the pilgrims must determine
whether they will establish the shameful and cowardly precedent of surrendering their most
sacred rights at the nod of an arrogant domineering and self constituted aristocracy, or in
the spirit of their fathers manfully maintain them.
AND WHEREAS, if we remain silent and inactive we effectually surrender those rights, and
with them the hopes of the slave, till the prediction of Jefferson shall be realized, and the
slave fearless and free shall till the land of his thraldom enriched with the blood of his
master.
THEREFORE, RESOLVED, under a deep sense of duty to ourselves to the slave, to our country,
and to God, that "sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish," we will exercise the right of
discussing the subject of slavery, that we will use all constitutional and peaceful means for its
speedy termination---and to act the more efficiently, form ourselves into a society and adopt
the following, &c.
(d.) ABOLITION.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
Some forty miles from Cincinnati, to the East, are two settlements of free negroes---probably
near a thousand---men, women and children, of the true ebony color; with a very little mixture
of the mahogany or lighter shades. The negroes own the land occupied by them, but
without the power to sell. Each family has a small farm. They a re emancipated slaves, and
these lands were purchased expressly for them, and parceled out among them about fifteen
years ago.
Their lands are not of the best quality of Ohio lands; but, by good management could
be made very good---they are particularly well adapted to grass, either meadow or pasture.
Having been formerly slaves and compelled to work, one would suppose they ought to have
industrious habits. They have had every inducement to industry and good conduct held
out to them.---The experiment was to test the merits of the negro race under the most favorable
circumstances for success.
Has this experiment succeeded? No, it has not. In all Ohio, can any white settlement be
found equally wretched, equally unproductive?
Farms given to them fifteen years ago, instead of being well improved, and the timber
preserved for farming, have been sadly managed-- small awkward clearings, and those not in
grass, but exhausted and worn out in corn crops--the timber greatly destroyed--wretched
log houses, with mud floors; with chimneys of mud and wood--with little timber for further
farming.
They are so excessively lazy and stupid, that the people of Georgetown (near by their
camps) and the neighboring farmers will not employ them as work hands to any extent.
They do not raise produce enough on their own lands to feed their families, much less do they
have a surplus for sale abroad. They pass most of their time in their little sorry cabins;
too listless even to fiddle and dance. One may ride through the "negro camp" as they are called,
passing a dozen straggling cabins with smoke issuing our of the ends, in the middle of
clearings, without seeing a soul either at work or play. The fear of starvation makes them
work the least possible quantity, while they are much too lazy to play.
Why do not the zealous Abolitionists go there and see the experiment in all its beauty---the
slave changed into a free, but wretched savage! Why not make something of these thousand
negroes? There are not more than two or three families out of the whole who are improved
by the change from slavery to freedom.
The negro settlements are a dead weight upon Brown county, as to any productive benefit
from the negro lands, or from negro labor; and that space of country might as well, to
this day, have remained in possession of the Indians.
If Southern wealth can be applied to buy and colonize among us such a worthless population,
what farmer in Ohio is safe? Has he any guarantee that a black colony will not be
established in his neighborhood?
Let any one who wished to learn the operation of emancipated negroes, visit the Brown
county camps. As they sink in laziness, poverty and filth, they increase in numbers---
their only produce is children. They want nothing but cowries to make them equal to
the negroes of the Niger.

hands of loyal men in the rebel States, and by immediately
yielding a united and enthusiastic support to the Government,
thus speedily and thoroughly crushing the hopes, and effectually
baffling the efforts of the rebels.
REMARKS OF HON. WM. D. KELLEY, OF PENNSYLVANIA,
IN REPLY TO THE OPPONENTS OF THE CONSCRIPTION
BILL.
Delivered in the House of Representatives, February 24, 1863.
Mr. Speaker, the discussion upon this most important bill
draws to a close. The discussion has, it seems to me, been
made the occasion for proving, not the dangerous powers of
the bill, but the necessity for some such provisions as it embodies,
whereby every species of "reasonable practice" may
be quickly suppressed.
The gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Mallory) inquired this
morning or when in which of our wars such powers had been
asked for. When I ask, in return, was the exercise of such
powers necessary before? Sir, there was little occasion for
their enactment during our earlier wars. When a few influential
men of Pennsylvania during the revolutionary war talked
as gentlemen have talked on this floor, the executive councils
sent them far inland into the then remote State of Virginia.
They were seized, by night or by day, wherever they could be
found, and forthwith hastened upon their journey thither, and
the right to the writ of habeas corpus expressly denied them.
That transaction was approved by George Washington, and
the Continential Congress passed a bill of indemnity, covering
all parties concerned in it. There were it is true cow-boys in
those days in the South, and as this instance shows, a few false
and craven creatures in the North who sympathized with the
enemy and prayed "for peace on any terms," but they were
so few that they dared not hope to be able to debauch the
sentiment of the army, so few as not to hope, as is now hoped
by the disloyal managers of the opposition, to be able to paralyze
the arm of the Government.
During the late war, the men who attempted to embarrass
the Administration charged with its conduct, where overwhelmed

CHAPTER XI.
THE YORKTOWN CENTENNIAL.
Before leaving Yorktown and the "Peninsula" for good I want to
speak of my visit to the "Yorktown Centennial" in October 1881, when
the one hundredth anniversary of the surrender of Lord Cornwallis to
General Washington was celebrated there. That surrender ended the
war of the Revolution, when we achieved our independence as a nation.
The celebration being at the place where I spent over seven months
during the active progress of the civil war, I was anxious to witness it.
To reach Yorktown I went from Brookville to Pittsburgh over the
Allegheny Valley railroad. From Pittsburgh I went to Washington,
over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. I remained in Washington one
night, and it happened to be the night when electric lights first shed
their brilliancy on Pennsylvania Avenue--the first night that a street
in Washington City was lighted with electricity. I was standing in
Pennsylvania Avenue, near the monument, below the Capitol building,
when the electric current was turned on, and saw the lamps as they
flashed their light, one after another, along the avenue from the Capitol
building to the Treasury, and witnessed the beautiful illumination
it caused. It was known all over the city at what hour the illumination
would take place, and the avenue was crowded with people the
entire distance I have indicated, nearly a mile. The scene was a brilliant
one, increased and intensified by the large number of people who
were assembled to witness it.
From Washington I went to Richmond, passing through Fredericksburg,
close by the place where my only brother was buried, who was killed there in December of 1862.
From Richmond I went by the Danville and West Point railroad
to White House Landing, near where the Pamunky and Mattapony rivers unite to form the York river. The "White House" was a place
of considerable importance during the Peninsula campaign, and subsequently
during the civil war; but long before that it was a place of
interest to Americans. Here it was that George Washington first met
Mrs. Martha Custis, the "beautiful young widow," who afterwards
became his wife; and as I passed the railroad station here, where
twenty-five or thirty very pretty girls and young women were engaged
in animated conversation, forming a handsome picture, my mind ran
back to the time and the account of the first meeting here between
Washington and his future bride.
It was in May of 1756. Washington had been serving on the
frontier, and was on his way to Williamsburg, then the capital of the

FREEDMEN'S BUREAU 11
"VI. Brigadier General R. Saxton is hereby appointed inspector of settlements and plantations, and will at once enter on the performance of his duties. No change is intended or desired in the settlement now on Beaufort island, nor will any rights to property heretofore acquired be affected thereby.
"By order of Major General W. T. Sherman:
"L. M. DAYTON, Assistant Adjutant General."
In Virginia quite an amount of land was libelled and about to be sold by the marshal just previous to the establishment of the bureau, when the sales were suspended by the Secretary of War, in order that these lands might be turned over to the bureau for the benefit of the freedmen. I claimed that these lands, which had been condemned to sale, though not actually sold, were already the property of the government, and objected to his excellency the President against the insertion of the word "sold" in the definition of confiscated property. The President referred the matter to the Attorney General, whereupon, finally, the word "sold" was inserted.
This decision necessitated the restoration of all the property where the sale had been suspended. I have been very desirous of conforming to the letter of the law in setting apart lands, but was unwilling to do so before it became probable that they could be retained. In this way much disappointment and suffering would be avoided.
The freedmen were so eager for the possession of land, and so likely, without that possession in fact or in prospect, to be obliged to leave their present homes, that I made the following proposition through yourself:
WAR DEPARTMENT,
BUREAU OF REFUGEES, FREEDMEN, AND ABANDONED LANDS,
Washington, September 4, 1865.
SIR: The matter of imposing some conditions in the cases of pardoning those who have lands already under cultivation by freedmen, for the benefit of this class of persons, having been presented to me by the Attorney General, and a plan having been suggested by a distinguished officer of the army, which I heartily indorsed, I deem it best to combine these suggestions in the following proposals, to wit:
1st. That hereafter pardons of the President of the United States, extended to those who have been excepted in his proclamation of May 29, 1865, having more than 20,000 dollars' worth of property, be conditioned by specific stipulation in each individual case: that the land-owner agree to set apart and grant title, in fee-simple, to each head of family of his former slaves, a homestead varying in extent from five to ten acres, to be secured against alienation during the lifetime of the grantee. The location, precise extent, and other details to be determined by three referees, two to be chosen by the interested parties, each selecting one, and the two a third.
2d. That other persons, not land-holders, be conditioned according to their several circumstances by equivalent or proper stipulation, to be determined by a committee of three appointed by the President.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
O. O. HOWARD,
Major General, Commissioner.
Hon. E. M. STANTON, Secretary of War.
I felt quite sanguine that this course would produce contentment among the freedmen, and afford an example to other land-owners beside those affected by it. My proposition may have come too late for adoption, for already quite a number of land-owners had been pardoned.
RECORDS—OF LABOR.
By Circular No. 5 I empowered the Assistant Commissioners to do everything possible to "quicken and direct the industry of the refugees and freedmen, that they and their communities may do all that can be done for the season, already so far advanced, to prevent starvation and suffering, and promote good order and prosperity." * * * "Negroes must be free to choose their

ture was started in the Northwest an attempt
has been made to start a similar
co-operative delivery system in Cleveland,
Ohio. Numerous other attempts
are being made to solve the problem of
distributors' spread. In Cincinnati, for
example, the farmers have formed a co-operative
association and are building a
large plant of their own to deliver milk
to the housewife's door. In other communities
farmers are also working out
short cuts to the consumer.
"Licensing"
(Continued from page 17)
Third Assembly be promptly taken, the
date for the regular meeting of the Advisory
Committee on Traffic in Women
and Children was advanced by several
weeks. And it was to this meeting that
our American representative, Miss Grace
Abbott of the Children's Bureau, went
as "unofficial observer."
The full report of the action of that
Committee has just now been given out.
This informs us that the fullest possible
consideration was given to the draft
convention which, after much discussion,
was finally adopted. In this discussion
two other important points were
raised and were finally crystalized into
resolutions. One was a recommendation
for a questionnaire to be set to all
members of the League asking those
states that have a system of regulation
for a report on its working and results,
and those that have abolished it for a
full statement of the reasons that led
them to do so. The other urges the
use of women police in dealing with
prostitution.
But, says the report, particular importance
attaches to that resolution
which embodies the proposal made by
the "unofficial observer" from the
United States. This was that the Council
might, without delay, appoint experts
to make, in collaboration with
the governments of the countries concerned,
a comprehensive study of the
conditions under which this traffic goes
on, the methods practiced and the main
centers between which it prevails. Again,
it is seen, the mighty weapon of publicity
is to be used. Light is to be
turned upon this darkest spot in our social
organism. It is hardly credible
that, when the full facts are laid out
for the world's inspection, governments
and people will not be stirred to some
immediate positive action against this
hideous business.
When these resolutions of the Advisory
Committee have passed through the
necessary technical steps, they will be
referred to the various national legislatures
for ratification. Adequate legislation
for their enforcement must then
be passed. And when that is done, as
Mrs. Dale, alternate from Australia,
said at the time of the discussion in the
Third Assembly, the greatest blow ever
dealt at the traffic will have been
struck.
Your Investments
By ELEANOR KERR
TWO policies issued by insurance
companies which are very popular
and which are more or less on the endowment
order mentioned in our last
article, are income bonds and retirement
annuities.
Many women--and men, too, of
course--who have no one dependent on
them and wish to provide themselves
with savings from which to receive an
income in the future, find the purchase
of income bonds one of the safest methods
of assuring this. The purchaser
makes annual payments until a certain
age, after which date the insurance company
pays her a fixed amount monthly
for the rest of her life. Should she
die before reaching this age, the insurance
company usually agrees to return
to the heirs the total amount of
deposits which have been made. And
even if the purchaser dies after having
reached the stipulated age and received
some of the income payments, but not
the aggregate equal to the entire amount
deposited as premiums, the difference
is usually returned to the heirs.
The cost of income bonds varies
greatly, according to the age at which
payment on them begins, and the age
at which the income is desired. A person
thirty years of age, who wishes to
receive ten dollars monthly beginning
at the age of sixty, would pay an annual
premium of about $34.14, and the
same amount for each additional ten
dollars of income desired. Should she
wish the income to begin at the age of
fifty the annual premium would be
about $82.36. Disregarding the fact
that no interest is paid until the end
of twenty or thirty years, the interest
received after that period amounts to a
little over 7 per cent. on the accumulated
deposits in the latter case, and
approximately 11 1/2 per cent. in the
former case. The profit to the insurance
company, of course, lies in the
fact that interest on the money as it is
accumulating during the twenty or
thirty year periods is not paid out, but
goes into the company's treasury. From
a business man's point of view, this
makes the interest received on the
money in the form of income after the
age of fifty or sixty represent only
about one-half the interest rate indicated
above, as during this time the capital
has had a chance to increase 50 per cent.
to 100 per cent. The compensation for
that lower return lies in protection
against making a bad investment and
in the guarantee of systematic saving.
The retirement annuity bond operates
on the same principle and is practically
the same thing, though differently
names. The premium unit for women
is $105 a year. This would provide for
a woman of thirty a retirement annuity
of $13.50 a month for life beginning
at the age of fifty, and of $30.71 a

OLIVER OPTIC'S MAGAZINE.
415. 1869.
THIRD YEAR! FIFTH VOLUME!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE immense popularity which the only Juvenile Magazine published
ONCE A WEEK
has attained, assures the publishers that
OUR BOYS AND GIRLS,
commenced as an experiment, was needed by the young people, and is indorsed by their parents and guardians,
who demand
A FIRST-CLASS PERIODICAL,
and are willing to pay a fair price for such, while they insist that it shall not only contain the productions of the
BEST AMERICAN WRITERS
who have distinguished themselves in the department of juvenile literature, but also that it shall be of the
HIGHEST MORAL TONE.
The publishers of OLIVER OPTIC'S MAGAZINE, encouraged by the success of the past, will endeavor, in the
coming volume, to meet the requirements of their patrons for such a work more perfectly than ever before.
Having on their Trade List more than
TWO HUNDRED JUVENILE BOOKS,
written by the most popular authors, they are confident that their unrivalled facilities in this department will
enable them to realize their ambition to furnish
THE CHEAPEST AND THE BEST MAGAZINE
for the young people in the United States. Their aim will still be to
IMPROVE THE MIND AND HEART,
and while the work shall amuse and entertain. It shall also impart valuable information in
ART, SCIENCE, AND LITERATURE,
and develop and encourage the purest morality. The publication will continue to be under the editorial superin-
tendence of OLIVER OPTIC, whose books for young people have now reached the unparalleled annual sale of
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND VOLUMES.
His works are in every family all over the land, and are largely relied upon by parents and guardians as moral
and educational agencies in the training of the children. This popular author, while he writes
AN EXCITING STORY.
which shall afford young readers no excuse for resorting to the dangerous trash so abundant at the present time,
endows his heroes and heroines with pure and noble characters, worthy the imitation of youth, and depicts vice
in its true colors, so that the young heart may loathe and shun it. The publishers confidently challenge friend or
enemy to point to an impure thought or an immoral sentiment on the pages of any of his numerous works.
OLIVER OPTIC writes for no juvenile publication except OUR BOYS AND GIRLS, and all his books are issued by
the publishers. During the coming year he will continue the
LAKE SHORE SERIES,
four stories of which will appear in this volume, and which, when published in book form, will cost five dollars,
as follows:--
LIGHTNING EXPRESS; or, The Rival Academies.
ON TIME; or, The Young Captain of the Ucayga Steamer.
SWITCH OFF; or, The War of the Students.
BRAKE UP; or, The Young Peacemakers.
The issue of three stories in this Magazine affords an opportunity to the young people of the United States
which can be presented by no other juvenile publication.
