CONDUCT OF THE NEGRO TROOPS.
General Blunt in his official report of the battle of Honey Springs, Ark, says:—The First Kansas (colored) Regiment particularly distinguished themselves. They fought like veterans, and preserved their line unbroken throughout the engagement. Their coolness and bravery have never been surpassed. They were in the hottest of the fight, opposed to the Texan troops twice their number, whom they completely routed. One Texan regiment went into the fight with three hundred men and came out with only sixty”
