ce and devotion, the marble and granite memorials of which, dotting the state from the Merrimac to the Connecticut, testify the gratitude of the loyal heart of Massachusetts. I have seen no soldier yet who considered himself wronged or insulted by the proposition. In point of fact the soldiers have never asked for such censure of the brave and loyal statesman who was the bosom friend and confidant of Secretary Stanton (the great war-minister, second, if at all, only to Carnot) and of John A. Andrew, dear to the heart of every Massachusetts soldier, and whose tender care and sympathy reached them wherever they struggled or died for country and freedom. The proposal of Senator Sumner, instead of being an insult, was, in fact, the highest compliment which could be paid to brave men; for it implied that they cherished no vindictive hatred of fallen foes; that they were too proudly secure of the love and gratitude of their countrymen to need above their heads the flaunting blazon of th

Abolitionists and conservatives The Abolitionists do not answer as rapidly to the roll-call as they promised before Lincoln's proclamation. According to Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, the highways were to be crowded with volunteers if Lincoln would only issue such a proclamation; but according to a Boston paper, published since the proclamation, the highways continue unobstructed. It is in vain that Bennett, of the Herald, insists that Grealey, of the Tribune, shall now buckles on his armor, Grealey, who is almost as pusillanimous as Bennett, refuses to do any such thing. Henry Ward Deecher is requested by a Sergeant of Corcoran's brigade to enlist in that estimable corps, and become indignant at the idea; and considers it an insult. It is evident that the Abolitionists have no idea of fighting, and are just as ridiculous as the conservatives represent them.--Granting all this, what are we to think of the conservatives, who yield to such influences, and who permit this conte

How negro soldiers are to be treated. The following letter, from Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, is in reply to questions addressed to him by Mr. Downing, concerning the position of colored troops in respect to pay, equipments, bounty, and protection, compared to that of white volunteers. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Executive Department. Boston, March 23, 1863. Geo. T. Downing, Esq., N. Y. Dear Sir --In reply to your inquiries made as to the position of colored men who maprivileges and immunities that are given by the laws of civilized warfare to other soldiers. Their present acceptance and muster in as soldiers, pledges the honor of the nation in the same degree and to the same rights with all other troops. They will be soldiers of the Union--nothing less and nothing different. I believe they will earn for themselves an honorable fame, vindicating their race and redeeming their future from the aspersions of the past. I am yours, truly, John A. Andrew
