One section was following in the path Of
Mexico, and the other was rushing for

altar Of victory. The usurpations Of the
Government. to be sure, were usurpations
against willing people, but they were
none the less dangerous, The proclama-

usurpation. The speaker alluded in suecr-

Of G. Fremont. This was greeted with
applause, Kisses, and few cries Of
"Shame." Then a voice in the audience

twenty or thirty male negroes, of all ages,
from six TO sixty. We should not have
recognized the son of the woman below,
but for the help Of the jailor, he was SO
much winter than his mother. These me-
groes had, Of course, committed nA crime
except that Of being born. The army came
among them, their rebel masters fled, and
we put them in the third story of the
Washington jail, where wo fed them in a
trough, on Fourierite principles, where no
one has any better chance than his neigh
bors, unless he gets. into it lengthwse.
-Four Of them were playing a game Of old
sledge with mutilated pack Of cards, and
a dozen others were looking on; one was
dancing the double-shuffle and the remain
der were singing or talking and laughing.
We went into the quarters of the free
blacks. Most of them are confined for pet
ty offences, such as thieying and vagrancy.
One, bright-eyed intelligent looking fellow,
about twenty years OF age, being asked
why he was there, replied: "For walking
in the street with slave girl" The hard
ened rufianl
1t was true. The laws Of this district
prohibit such laxity of walking. The the
DRY or philosophy Of the case is, that the
girl might fall in love with him and even
