vice. They are to rendezvous at Baltimore, for service within the State and are in no case to be required to do duty outside the State without their consent. The Yankees are endeavoring to repair their losses by calling out the militia for one hundred days, to take the place of the men who were in the fortifications at Washington and on the sea coast defences. Yet they pretend that our losses are greater than their own, and that we cannot procure any reinforcements.

Failure of the negro soldier Experiment — Melting away of the Corps D'afrique The following letter from Port Hudson, May 14 to the editor of the Springfield Republican, tells its own story. It comes from a source friendly to the Administration, and for this reason, we should think, would produce its proper effect on the minds of the Yankees: Port Hudson, La., May 15, 1864.
