The Daily Dispatch: December 11, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 10 (search)
e which we take from the Columbus (Ky.) Confederate News, of the 14th inst., shows with what prominence the negro question figures in the Lincoln movements in Kentucky: There is at Fort Holt a regiment commanded by Col. Cook, and another commanded by Col. Johnson,--the former Abolition, the latter Southern Illinoisan, and nearly honest enough to belong to the Southern army. It fell out a few days since that a runaway slave was pursued into the camp by a Union man, with an order from Gen. Grant for his surrender. Notice being had of this, the fellow was run to the woods by his friends of Cook's regiment, a coward of was publicly ordered for the negro's return. This stimula- ted the other regiment, and they swore they would have the negro and return him to his owner. The Abe's men proper swore that no such thing should be done. In a few days after, the "bone of contention" was discovered in the camp of his friends, and his capture was resolved upon by the other regiment.
