Yankee idea of keeping faith.

"An abolition soldier, recently in the employment of Lincoln, who fell into the hands of our troops a few days ago reports since his arrival here that all the men of the N. Y 69th regiment and other Northern soldiers, who were paroled on honor not to fighting in until exchanged, and sent home a month since, have, without exception, regardless of their oath, re-entered the vandal army. This fact affords a good illustration of the Northern idea of faith and honor.
