THE RANDOLPH NEGRoEs.--A wrf.
ter in the Baltimore Patriot, who is
travelling in Ohio, gives this account
Of the Randol phi negroes, who, it will
he remembered, we're driven from
their homes which had been procured
for them by the whites:
"Troy. about twenty miles from,
Dayton, is a small and rather dilapi-
dated town. between this place and
Piqua. Along the canal the majority
Of the Randolph negroes are located.
1t was in the adjoining county Of
Mercer that the :a,ge tract of land
was purchased for their settlement,
from which they were forcibly eject.
ed bv the white inhabitants. The
condition OF these poor creatures is a
sad commentary on the miserable
policy of emanci pating negroes. and
allowing them TO remain in this coun.
try. The majority Of these once in-
valuable servants are now worthless
pests upon the community among
whom they are locatedsend often
want for the common necessaries Of
life. heard several express an ar.
dent wish TO return to the shores Of
Roanoke again, where they once had
plenty, and did not know what it was
