VIII. The following extract from a private letter from a member of the Board of Examiners, Washington, to the Chairman of the Supervisory Committee, is deemed worthy of being re-produced here, as being a terse view of the entire subject of officering Colored Troops — practical and eloquent, "A Regiment of Colored Troops, when turned over to the command of its white officers, consists of a thousand or more of unlettered black men, often late slaves, dressed in the soldier's uniform and armed lik...e soldiers. They will be expected to do the soldier's duty, but as yet they are profoundly ignorant of that duty. To organize this mass, to provide for it, to instruct it, to drill it, to march it, to lead it into battle and make it fight, will require an aggre- gate of the various kinds of knowledge only possessed by superior white men. " These officers should be selected with the greatest care — officers who shall know how to instruct these unlettered men — officers who shall inspire their confidence, and hold them up to a high sense of duty, and make them feel that now, for the first time in the history of their race, they are called upon to vindicate, on the battle-field, their title to the honored name of soldier.
