I fcThe Negro where he is,—Copper- j, head politicians are eternally advocating 8 “the Union as it was, the Constitution t as it is, and the Negro where he is.”— £ The great difficulty has been to ascertain where the negro is. A letter from t James G. Brice, a Union soldier, writ-ten from Suffolk, VaM and published in ^ the Crawford ville Journal, throws some T light on the matter. From the follow- f ing extract it will be seen that the negro j is in the rebel army fighting as a sharp-shooter. Of course Copperheads wish f him to remain there. g“I can assure you, of a certainty, ^ that the rebels have negro soldiers in their army. One of their best sharp- e shooters, and the boldest of them all j here, is a negro, He dug himself a rifle ( pit last night just across the river, and ^ has been annoying our pickets opposite 1 him very much to-day, You can see him plain enough with the naked eye, occasionally, to make sure that he is a I “woolv head,” and with a py-glass there is no mistaking him. ,
