GENERAL LEE HARD MASTER
Gen. Mcdowell has beautiful spot for his
headquarters, the well-known Arlington
House, and Gen. Lees old servants seem
to delight in caring for the new occupants
of the place. Lee was bard master, as
many kind-hearted housewife in Wash
sngGon, who has given his Slaves something
to eat on Sundays, knows. lie took with
him all the smart slaves, and lef; behind
the old and the very young. Yet every
one Of these slaves is legally entitled 10 his
freedom. Mr.. Curtis in his WILL gave them
all their freedom, but gave to Lee, his son-
in-law, certain temporary power over them.
This he has used very roughly, utterly re-
tusing 10 show The will TO any Of The friends
Of the slaves who we're anxious 10 see that
their rights under Virginia law were Sc
cured 10 them. There is a toohlcss old
woman On the place, who for ten years has
been obliged 10 rise at daylight and knit
till dark--it is all she can do--to secure
to herself few Of the comforts necessary
to old age. Lee has bren in the habit of
giving her weekly a peek Of upground cor,
and ttco salt herrings. These facts were
known to me before the present troubles
began. A slave girl of sixteen attempted
10 ron away from the plantation year
since, and was caught. General Lee or
dered her to be stripped to tie waist
AMI whipped, and this was done in
the presence Of her mother. After the
whipping the girl was taken to Richmond
and there forwarded to some cotton planta-
ton. Il Is not strange that the slaves left
behind gladly welcome the change Fash

From the south.

We have before US a private letter writ
man who has made his residence there for
some time, to his parents in Vermont. We
should be truly glad to give his name, but
if by any possibility it should stray South,
il would be his instant death. 1t was sent
by private conveyance. 1t was written on
the 10Th of May, not great ways from
Fort Pickens, and we make the following
extract:
4" You perhaps can imagine, or try to
imagine, the state of things here, and how
we are situated, but it is impossible for you
TO realize the truth in regard 10 the condi-
ton of society here. Business is all stopped,
except getting up companies Of soldiers,
equipping them, &c. A majority of the
northern born citizens are becoming dis
gusied aud frightened and are packing up
and leaving. Some sell out what they can,
take what they can, and leave as privily
as possible. This trouble has developed
characteristics that before have slumbered
in the South and which are very unpleasant.
Mob law and terrorism prevail to a great
extent. What we are coming TO God only
knows. There is general suspicion against
Northerners. Some have conducted them
selves meanly, and that disgraces and
throws the prejudces against all. We are
liable to have false rumors started about us
by an enemy, and be set upon by mob,
who never stop to inquire after the truth,
or TO reason. For my part, you know my
honest principles in regard to the nstitu-
tons of this country, and you know my pc
cuniary interests are all here, but ! disap-
prove very much of the course Of the
South latterly. | wish my dar-
ling family was safely lodged with you. y
= greatly fear negro inswrectton.
l have little to fear otherwise.
Starvation threatens this country"
The above is undoubtedly correct state
ment as to the condition of affairs South.
The last sentence is appended to the letter
on one side. The mob law and terrorism
of which he speaks is and ever has been
the legitimate fruit Of the nhuman and de-
moralizing influence of slavery--that sys-
TEN which is now in rebellion to destroy
the government, that it may perpetuate and
extend its blighting curse.
