NEGROES FLEEING FROM VIRGINIA.-The
Harrisburg correspondent of the New York
Tribune, under date of June 7th, states that
over one hundred fugitives from labor, from
the neghborhood of Winchester, arrived there
on Wednesday and Thursday nights. They
say that no attempt is made to arrest runaway
slaves, and the mountains of Virginia are full.
The last arrivals were in a wretched plight,
having been on theroad ten days. They were
supplied with provisions and sent on their way
rejoicing toward the promised land-Canada
We also learn from Detroit that fugitive
slaves coming up through Pennsylvania and
Ohio, from Virginia, are crossing the Detroit
river into Canada by scores, and many others
are hiring out to Pennsylvania and Ohio far
mers for the coming harvest work.

CoNTRABAND GOODS PRAIsING THE LORD
A Fortress Monroe correspondent of the n. Y.
Tribune says: 60
A new batch of negroes came in yesterday,
and to-day the grand total has been somewhat
enlarged. A few days since company left
their homes in the neighborhood of Black
river, embarked in row boats, with a quantity
of furniture bedding, and dressed hog, and
came down the Chesapeake to Old Point, and
landed in safety. You should have seen them
as they marched into the Fortress. "De Lord
is in it." said venerable old Joe. 81 knew
he'd do it ~ and his face shone with thank
fulness as he led the troop into the strong
place of refuge.

AFFAIRS IN WESTERN VIRGIyIA.-Tht
strength of the enemy in Western Virginia
is believed to be between forty and fifty
thousand. There are now under Gen
Reynolds, in and about Randolph county
about twenty five thousand. Gen. Cox had
between six and seven thousand in tic
Kanawha Valley, and Gen. Roscncrantz is
said to have fifteen tliousand-somc say
eleven to twelve thousand Thus there arc
not less than forty tand there may be nearly
fifty thousand of the enemy forces opera
ting in Western Virginia.
We will not, for prudcntial.rcasons pre-
sent in detail u statement of the strength of
our forces in that quarter. Suffice it to
say, that Gems. Lee and Loring have n
superior force to cope with, and Gems. Floyd
aud Wise are laboring under the disadvan-
tage of considerable disparity of numbers.
We understand that several regiments have
been ordered from Lynchburg to reinforce
our army beyond Lcwisburg; and that still
further forces win be sent forward to this
same destination very promptly.
The news brought down by the Central
train yesterday was that Gen. Lee had
again fallen back upon his former position,
bis forward movement having been desistcd
from lof some strategic reason not trans
piicd.
The army Of Gems Floyd and Wise have
changed their position from Sewells Noun
tain to Meadow Bluff, which is on this side
Of the Sewells but further to the west. in
the direction of Sunmerville. The position
they now occupy is upon what is called the
Wilderness road, leading into Greenbrier
county from Summersille, along which
Gen RoscEeraniz is approaching with a
part of eleven regiments. 1t was with a
view to meet hiIa on march that Gems
Floyd and Wise proceeded up the Wilderness
road TO Meadow Bluff. II tie raovenitnt of
Gen. Rosencraniz be correctly reported. we
may expect to hear Of another battle in that
IN few days. The enemy con.
cut Numbers US, and the fight will
come OF, If at all, before the rsinfcrcemenfs
just ordered on to Gen. FLOYD will be able
to reach him; but, notwithstanding these
Te are very confident that
OHr brave little army, whosemetile has been
twice tried and proved, viii give a good
rcrort os itself.

scarcely able now to pen this card, and
since June last, the improvements in my

this course; for, in these times of trouble,
it is my strongest desire TO be in some posi-
ton in which wonld have an opportunity,
at least, of laboting to be useful to my

desirable when conS Actcd with such a pros

which it would be unwise perhaps to disrc-
gard, warns me, that, if even elected TO
