...there Are At The Present Moment Many Colored Men In The Confederate Army...as Real Soldiers, Having Muskets On Their Shoulders, And Bullets In Their Pockets, Ready To Shoot Down Loyal Troops, And Do All That Soldiers May Do To Destroy The Federal Government...there Were Such Soldiers At Manassas And They Are Probably There Still.
