The Virginia contrabands at Old Point
Comfort are housed and fed at the expense
of the Government, and lead a very con-
tented life; but, if we may judge by the
statements of correspondent Of the National
InteHigsncer, they are too much engrossed in
the enjoyment ofthe novel sensation of free
dom to give any serious attention to hard
labor. The Intsuigmcer'S correspondent
draws this picture of
CoNTRADANDs AT WORK.
1t is certainly very amusing TO observe
these contrabands engaged at what in q
measure, has been misnamed work" In
order to transport bale of hay distance Of
from twenty to thirty yards it takes about
eighteen or twenty laborers, men and boys,
who perform the operation somewhere in the
neighborhood of twenty minutes. First, one
will give it turn over, roll his body on it,
drop down on his elbows, and have a quiet
grin for several seconds. Then it will be
passed to the next one, who proves to be
perfect genius in the art of imitation; and so
on it goes through the whole gang. At
times the gangs will suddenly grow small
and beautifully less in consequence of some
of the laborers having decided to amuse
themselves la Heenan, others having started
ting up an impromptu circus.
just about this junclure a sergeant may be
seen recollecting the scapegoats by dint of a
resort to his lungs. Not unfrequently Mr.
Contraband is made aware of the fact that
there is an "all.seeing" eye, by having q
brick pass his leg with considerable rapidity
at distance rather too close for personal
comfort. When describe how bale ofhay
is unloaded, the description will serve as a
very safe criterion by which to Judge the
manner in which every thing else is removed
and stored away. 1t is not unusual to see half
a dozen negroes wheeling hand cart-gen-
orally with nothing in it, a coal cart backed
up to heap of lumber almost off the dock,
or into some other cart or wagon, rather than
where it is wanted; eight or ten "dsrkeys''
removing a stick of lumber, while the same
number are engaged in warming their feet
or dancing jig; little ebonies hurrahing for
some notability in the hope of getting q
| penny from a passing officer; more little
blacks playing soldier, scampering after g
band of music, or throwing dust; and
wenches staggering, grinning and csperiug
| by the roadside, or coquetting with theil
| fellows.
The same, writer, however, admits tha
many of the negroes are intelligent and will
ing. He gives this interesting account o

The Confederate Capital.

1t is now reported that Richmond is still
the rebel Capital, though how long it will
remain 50 is uncertain. The report of vote
to remove it to Nashville, which came from
rebel sources, may be explained, by the fact
that the rebel Congress sits with closed
doors, so that the world outside is sometimes
wholly in the dark as to its action, and the
rebels themselves are often deceived.

ABSURD STORIES TOLD TO SLAVES.

One party, with which l entered into con-

them that in the event of their running away,
they would be sold to the white female abo-
litionists of the North for husbands, and their
wenches taken away from them and trans
ferred to the men abolitionists for wives. On
asking one of the party what he thought of
such a story, he replied ''that he had not as

prove to be fact, he did not know but that
be could live just as well North as South.
