RICHMOND WHGK
BISHOP MEADE'S SECOND LETTER TO ^E RICH -
MOND WHIG, ON A BOOK ENTITLES “OACfE
AND CONTRAST.” '
To tkt Edit- of tht Whig :
f Jfn a former letter, I sdduoed some passe gi from this
book, exhibiting its u:sscriptural views of tn origin of
the African race, making it different as to thotline and
placs and grade from that of ths white or bncasian,
and dairying that • Adam and Eve of the ^>le were
the ancestors of the negro. Oa this innate dffrrence,
which he declsree to he fixed and unalterable, b< grounds
the j istiti jatioo of negro slavery,as beingjthus Appointed
by God himself. That the Christians cf the fouth will
retort to this plea, and thus ex .-use tbemeelveafor hold
ing four millions of negroes in boudage, vix because
they received from God an inferior grade In auimal ex
istence and approximate to the most disgusting, tho'
canning of animals, the “ourang,” or monkey, la repell
ed with indignation. That their difference of color and
degtnertcy from the first and purest state of man stand
opposed to amalgamation and to the raising them, by
emiocipaiiou, to a political equality with the white popu
lation la most truo; but diffirence of color and inferi
ority, by reason of degeneracy from an original atate,
are things very distinct and distant from an Innate and
unalterable dificiency, which must excludo them from
those ceveuant-proinisea made to the children of the
first Adam, through Christ ths second Adtin. Wheie
do we find any promise of redemption from sin here and
tuffdriug hereafter to any race of auimais, such as the
rnookey, or lo uisu a liule raised above them ? The
Christians of the South btlieve with the Apostle, “that
God made of one blood all nations upon earth.’’ They
believe that, iu his pr#vtdcuce, God has permitted vari
ous natural causes to produce, in the course of time, |
diversities of oolor In different tribes'and nations ; on a
portion of Africans a deeper dvr; and to permit a nam
bsr of them to becoma servants lo the white men, in our
Southern 8:ates; but they still regard them as brothers
of the s>ui• human family, as descended from those who
were made in tho image of God himself, and as having
immortal aouli to be saved or lost. If there were only
two odors to meu, those of pure white and jet black,
and only two oharucters, those of the highest civilisation
and lowest b«bariam, there might be some show of
plausibility—apart from scripture testimony—in the the
ory ot two distinct formations, but when the whole his
tory of man testifies that the world is full of tribes and :
nations, of various shades of color and gradrs of oivili- ;
■ IUUL , IIW» " V -r -
original groups upon w LI cl. were made, or, as some fay,
sprang up at different times and in different countries ;
and how ebaii we decide what shade of color or grade of
clvil;iation gives oce race a right to enslave its inferior.
On this point lira advocates of the untcriptural theory
are all at iatne, d.ffriug as to the number of original
groups, from three to twenty, according a*,they fi« upon
the number of color* and other direraitie* belonging to
man. How dilboult, nay, impossible, then, to decide
when it is lawful to hold a fellow creature In bondage,
thie being the rule of judgment. The scripture knows
nothing of this. It recoil's servitude in every shade
of oolor and grade of civilisation. W hen Move* pro
claimed the moral law from Final, wbioh was ad
dressed to master* aud servants, there were elave*
in all peru of th# world—while, tawney, black and
every Interim dial* color ; fewer, we doubt not, of
the black than of suy other, at that time. The
great body of the slave# at that period were the
captives taken In the wars of Europe and Asia, and
tbess were the tawney and the fsir. The same was the
case iu the time of our Lord aud the Apostles, who
sanctioned elavery as then existing. Wo are told that,
in the Roman empire, when in ite utmos' extent, there
wsre, at one lime, not less than sixty millions of slaves
If a la-ge portion of these had boeu negroes, what has
Become of their descendants ? W here do we read of the
millions (t negroes now in Europe or Asia descended
from them’ It about two hundred years, the few
brought out to America have increased to four or five
millions. We believe that, if an estimate could be made,
it would be found that not one-teuth of the human race
who have been made slaves wtre from Africa. Even in
Bparta, on* iu sersu wc* a Helot or elave, but not ne
groes, and probably the fame proportion existed in other
Athenian States
If, then, It was th# purpose of God, in making the ne
gro an inferior race, and fixing x dttker color upon him,
that he ahould be for the service of the white man, aa
the lower animal*, and that the whites should be the
lord* of *11 creaticn, that putpove ha*, in thia reaped,
most signally failed, for a large proportion of the human
family, of every shade of color, and of various degri ee
of elvilinlioti, have been in different age* bondsmen to
he reek
Four millions of the African race are, by God’* Provi
dence, thrown upon the oare of tbe Christiana of the
Southern Confederacy, and we truet they will be treated
a* children of our Father in Heaven, and regarded as
the defendants cf the one pair, whose birth place wae
Eden. If we thus regard and treat them, a* placed un
der our protection, e«pecia!ly for religious inetruetior,
we may expect God’s hi. ssing on that contest in which
«re arc engaged, and in wbioh 1 verily belie re their wel
fare is mere deeply corcetasd titan onr own. If, on
the contrary, in opposition to his Holy Word, we»deny
them the time origin, a. d regard them only as a higher
order of hmtrv, according to tha theory I am opposing,
we may justly txptct the wrath of au eff-nded God.—
We have hitherto, and most j utly, made it an objection
to the Abolitionists of the North, thet their system tend
ed to it fidelity. Unable to deny that the Soripturc*
sa-.ctioncd slave?}, not a few cf them hav# declared that,
y^uar than reimq :ish that system, they would reject
the Scriptures Accordl- giy, not oily Individual*, but
tocielice among them, have epeuly discard, d tho holy
Sciiptur«». But, wherein do tho advocates cf this
theory, which dctiiee the unity of the human race, differ
from th* unbeliever# cf the North • The lattxr deny the
Scripture*, becanas contradicting tbeir favorite doctrine.
The former deny them, by rejecting a great hiatorical
fact, so interwoven with th* Scripture!, and the moat im
portant doetrinas thereof, that it ia impcsaible to r«j*ct
tbe one, without drnyirg the credibility of the wholo.

0, X_! what fiery trials we have passed through
since we last communicated with you! Too whole euni
mer, we hare had nothing but one continued soenc ot
robberies and outrages, violence and wrcnga. Wo are
not aikwed to go outside our own inclosure, without a
pass from headquarters, aod some'lraos a pars is not giv
en ns for weeks. Sometimes, foh days and daye, wo
have been ohl ged to ftel our whole family on potatce.-;
not allowed to go to mill, and, at times, Charles would
take a bag of corn on bis back, and watch his oppor u
nity to avoid the pickets, and go stealthily through the
woods, and fields, and have it ground. Oae day, early
In summsr, we got a pass, and E-and 1 went to town;
and, in returning, we were detained by the guards three
hours, on the road. When wc got borne, they told ue
of such deeds of horror and outrage, that had been com
mitted on the servants, R-and M-, as wculJ
make the very blood freer • in your veins, by four of
these vile creators*, called soldiers, in an op’D fi 'Id by
the side of the public road, and Cteitr was obliged to
stand by and witness it.
At another time, five or six would come to the house,
bnrst open the door, and say they Intended searching the
house—they wanted something to eat, and would nave
it. If we did not give it to them, they would break open
everything, and take whst they pleased. They would
point their guns at us, and plunge at us with their bayo
nets and threaten to kill us on the spot, if we dared re
monstrate. One day they came and scattered over the
plsce. They Hew to the coops, seized the hens, with
chickens, and, in spite of ail we could say, would wring
their beads off belore our frees. They killed all our
ducks—killed the pigs—tore all the fruit off the trees,
lemons and oranges, green and ripe. There is nothing
that escaped their thievish hand*. Ton must not think
this wss confined to the common soldiers; for, in almost
every instauce, an officer was with them. One linK,
three officers came, and did not leave until after dark,
and then took both our carriage horses. Sometimes a
dozeu will come and soak themselves under the tama
rind tree, w'e.i we are on the po.cb, and tell kf-, (a
n-ero girl) she is the prettiest girl they have seen, and
eff r to kiss her, a”d beg her to go with them to the
.North, aod they will marry her. They use the most vul
gar, obscene and blasphemous language. E-spoke
to an old roan for using the name of Jesus io such a pro
fane manner. He stepped up to her and stretched his
eyes and slid, “he was a better raau than Jfsua Christ.'’
I cannot see how such vile creatures are suffered to live.
I sometimes wonder the earth don’t qpen and swallow
them up.
About four weeks ago, six of the officers exme gallop
ing up to our house, dismounted, ex mined the premises
thoroughly, measured the well, and then walked in, sent
their names up, and requested to see the owner of the
place. E—went down, asd was scarcely seated before
she said, "Have you not laid waste enough l«ud to en
camp jour men oiq without destroying the only home
of two unprotected aid unoffending ladies ?' Ho re
plied, “It is a military necessity and must be doie." An
other one ranie in and the first said to him, “fluil., this
I sets to our nutting our encampment here." He
remarked, very carcleiiely, "It is an important Mto and
must be occupied ; you had bettor vacate your house
and rent one in town." 8he told him "we bad no other
house, aud no means to rent a house with ; that this war
had deprived m of all other resources except the pro
duce of this farm " She wrung her hands, and begged
them, “ for mercy’s sake not to pot them here.’’ Bui
they were just a* stern and cold as s'one. 8he says o-.ie
of 'them; when he saw her distress, actually laughed in
her face. Of all heartless creature*, they do exceed. I
did not think there were inch people on the fsce of the
<a-th. No language I could use would confer to you
the least idea of what we have inflered tiom these
wretches. Their insults, outrages aud thefts have not
teen once or twice,but daily and hourly.
Wc have boon afraid, for weeks, to go outside our gar
den gate, aud many dtys afraid to open the tront door.
The bulieta ofUn com* whis ling ovey our bwade into tk«
yard and garden, and several have b«eu picked up *t
the ki’chen door. Oj the SOtb September a whole bri
gade was encamped upon our land and aronnd ue as nrar
as the to’.tom of the garden. I am sure $2 000 would
not replace the fencing that ha* been torn down and do
Htroved. Every slick of our beautiful timber and wood
has been cot and four regiments have bscu homing it, in
qua ntitiee, for the last four weeks. Wc cover, in our
lives, bed such a prospect for crops, bat the whole has
b«eu stolen or destroyed. The whole place has been per
fectly torn to pieces You would never know it.—
There is a fort made where the woods were to the right
of the house, in a line with the uppsr gate ; an immerse
eutet>chment,from the cider presr, through the vegetable
garden, west of the barn, through our cord field to the
pub! c road, thence running diagonally across our next
neighbor* field, extending nearly sb far os the Red
House. W ben these creatures first took posscesi-n of
the town nearly all our friends and acquainlances left
for the upper country, only taking their wearing appar
el, and now every bouse that has not beeu entirely torn
down, Isa perfect wreck; doors and window-blinds torn
•!f their hinges ; windows, st -p*, banisters, all torn to
pieces; mantle-pieces—where they were of rairb'e—sent
to the North; piano#, carpets, furniture, everything
packed up and sent North. At one time, twelve larg
goods-boxes were aent from Clermont (Com K irre-t's

The movements of Gsn. Thomas, commanding tbt
i Fourth Division of tbs Army of Gen. Buell, which had
any relation to his latest achievement, were begun te
early as the 1st of tbe month, when tl e principal part ot
: his division took op its position at Colombia, in Ada r
county, having left tho brigades of Goo. Alvin Schoeptl
and Gen. Carter In miles west of Sonerret, and abcu
the same or a less distance north of Gen. /.olliccffer’s en
trenchments on the Cumberland. Geu. Thomas bad
marched the brigades of Generals Boyle, Ward, Maaot,
etc., from their encampments at Lebanon, Bordstowo,
I uud other points to one large encampment at Cciumbta,
i front whence he deeigned making the Hank movement,
1 which, though not completed as intended, and frustrated
J in the important particular, has ye', resul.ed in the S'g
ual defeat ol this part of the rebel army, with a lores
the full and exact number of which 1 am not now able to
send, but certainly comprising the greater part ol the
two brigades of Generals Boyle and Mason.
Among the forces engaged in the fight, it is certain
there were the Tutth Indiana, Ninth Onio,Second Mine
snta, Tenth and Fourth Kentucky, and tbe Eighteenth
I Regulars.
| The Tenth Indiana and Eighteenth Regulars were re
inforcement* which reached Gen. Thomas on Saturday
morniog, and they were compelled to make a forced
march of over twenty firs miles to reach ihe position in
1 time.
This position, to which Gen. Thomas had proceeded,
; and in which be had halted on Saturday night with a
view ol crossing the Cumberland and pushing on towards
Monticello, is abcir. six miles east ot Jamestown, and
i twelve miles west of Mill Spring, or the entrenchments
i of Zitlicoff.T at White Oak creek.
A country road leading to Jamestown runs due ea t
for six miles, crossing two small streams, and traversii g
| a rolling country, thence, taking a turn soutbeas at d
croesing the Cumberland, continues in the same direc
I tion to Monticello. In the immediate vicinity of the two
snail streams crossed bv this road tbe country is quite
j billy, and to the south becomes rough and rugged, cul
minating in the lofty crags that form the balks of the
OumliTland at this poinu The road named, however,
avoid! tbe.-e crags, aod, following the couiso of a small
stream two miles further east, duds a good descent aad '
crossing at the river.
The field of battle was, as thus shown, a rolling track,
without doing poei'ively hilly—of a character to furnish
advantages in the hands ol a general who knew how to
use them. Ou this field General Thomas, preparatory
, to crossing, encamped on Saturday evening, the ltfth,
with a force, of which the fallowing is a portion only ■

While ih'a movement was being made the two hrig
tilee of Gmeral* Schoepft' and Carter, encamped near
I Somerset, and commanded by General Schoepff, had cot j
been idle. As early as the morning of the 17th a move
ment on the part of General Schoepft was begun. Font
regiments of infantry, as enumerated below, and Captain
Stewart's battery ot flying artillery, left their camp at
Somerset, taking three days' rations, and began the march
1 for a point ou Fishing creek, five miles north of Zllli- i
coffer’s intrenciimentB, and consequently near the mouth
j of the stream, Two regiments were left in catnp as a
1 reserve, Col. Vauderveer in command. The force under
Gsn. Schoepft' in tbo march to Fishing creek consisted of
the following:
mutual, scnotrrr's Hitmans.
Brigadier G- uerul Alvin 8ebo*{ !f, commanding.
8‘v.nth regiment Kentucky Volunteers.
Twelfth regiment Krntocky Volunteers.
urmr.iI. caaria s nRiuxiie.
Brigadier General Carter, commanding.
First regimen; Tonneere? Volunteers.
S’emd regiment Tennessee Volunteers.
At the same lime that this forward movement was
mide by Ganeral 8chcepff reinforcements were forward
i eil from lianO'iaburg, and the reserve was strengthened
! by two regimenrs-left at Somerset anp a buttery. This
r serve thin con-'- cd of four regiment, under Colonel
Vanderveej, of the Tjirtv lifrh Ohio regimeut.
Tne inter ton of Gent rd Buell—who, in his quarters
at Louisville, appears to hav- p'ao^ed the whole affair—
•tas, that the two lorccs of Thomas and Scboepff should
i attack Zollicoffi r in be intrcnchments at the same time.
But, w.ti a vigor of d<s;gn and execution worthy of be
ing exercised w t : more succ«’ss in a better cause, Gene
ra1 Z jllicofft-r, with u force of about 8,0t>0 men, march- j
1 ed out ou the night of the isth inst., and, at au eafly '
hour on Sunday, thr l .bh inst., attacked General Thom- j
I ai’ ferce in his camp, at the point I have described, and
I which is familiarly known as Webb’s Cross Roads, and '
[ situsted on Wolf Ore k. Although it cannot be said
tna General Thomas woe taken by supprise, it ia not del

I - appears that Gen. Z.d iocll.-r lost hi* way in the buahe^Bg
and suddenly emerged betore C< I Fry, who was accom-^^B
p&uud by Horae »*rn.tr ctficrni. The two ptrtin mittook^^J
each other for Iriends, and ipprosched within a few^^B
yards of each other, when, finding their mutual m stake.^M
b >th hal’ed and pn pared tor a hand to hand cot Aid.

only brought his horse down Tbe Union Colonel drew^^B

Colonel Connell, who had known General ZolllcofTerln I
Waabi gton, asked to be prrmitted to see me corpse, and
1 went with him. He lay in e tint wrapped in an army
b'aaket, his chest and left arm and side exposed.
A tall, rather slender man, with thin, brown hair, high
forth, ad, somewhat bald, Roman cote, firm wide mouth,
andclean staved face. A p stol ball bad struck him in
the breast, a little above tbe heart, killing him instantly
His ftc* hole no ripressioD such as is usually found ou
those who fell in battle—no malice, uo tecklcse bate,
not even a shadow cf physical pain. It wae calm, pla
cid, nible. But I never looked on a countenecoe so
marked with sadaess. A deep d> jectiou had settled ou
it. “Tbe low cares of the mouth” were distinct in the
droop at its corners and tbe thin cheeks showed the
wasting which comes ihrough diaappointmenl and trou
ble.
