To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In one of the military camps in the city of Colum- bus, are several hundi-ed rebel prisoners of war. Some of them are attended by colored servants, claimed as slaves. These servants have been transported at Government expense, fed, clothed, and doctored by the Government; and while the rebel officers are allowed the freedom of the city upon parole, the servants are strictly guarded and confined in camp by our own soldiers. The free State of Ohio is virtually converted by the order or by the ass...ent of a military commander, and againsithe wishes of the people, into a slave State; and that order is enforced by men in our employ- ment and under our pay. And this state of things does not exist in Columbus alone. Much indigna- tion was felt and expressed in the State of Illinois, where the same practice was allowed to prevail among the prisoners captured at Fort Donelson. The greater part, if not all, of these prisoners, who had slaves attending them at the camp near Chi- cago, were transferred soon after arriving there, the Government paying the cost of transporting both whites and blacks.
