SLAVES AT HILToN HEAD-Thc newspapers
have published most exaggerated accounts of
the coming in Of slaves at Port Royal. From
several gentlemen who have recently returned
from that port, We learn facts which are to be
relied on as true. The negroes have come to the
Fort to sell provisions, poultry, &c, and their
supplies have been bought. Others have come
from curiosity, and loitered around awhile, 60
ing away again when they pleased. About $50
remain in the Fort, having been employed t.
work, receiving rations and SIS per month";
The total number that have come in on any and
fifty. No indication has been gisen of any de-
sire to aecept liberty as a permanency. Their
attachment to their masters and the families to
which they belong does not seem to be diminish
ed. and there are large numbers, probably thou
sands Of them in the neighborhood, who have
not come into the Fort at ALL No. reliance is
placed on any information they give. The army
officers appear to think there is some reason for
the Southern law Of excluding negro testimony.
The remark is very common that a negro will
answer a question precisely as he thinks you
want him to- unless he has an end of his own
to serve, when that will determine his reply
The idea Of putting muskets into the hands Of
such men as the slaves at Port Royal, is con-
sdered ridiculous military proposition and
can be regarded only in the light Of proposal
to ncite them to murder their masters and mis-
tresses, which no one who has seen them believes
they would do. 1t is said that visit to South
Carolina has already opened the eyes of many
gentlemen, of former abolition inclinatons to
some new facts in slavery.-N Y. Journal of
