The Daily Dispatch: March 16, 1865., [Electronic resource], A good beginning. (search)
A good beginning. --We understand that to Maj. J. W. Pegram and Maj. T. P. Turner has been assigned the duty of organizing and training the negro soldiers, preparatory to putting them in the field. They are both young officers of the highest promise, distinguished alike for gallantry in the field and for skill in the discharge of this peculiar duty.--They speak in the most encouraging terms of the enterprise, both expressing the belief that the negro under proper officers, will make an excellent soldier. It is a great pity this had not been done six months ago. But we may yet derive enormous benefit from the experiment. Success to these gallant young officers.
