 The papers tell us that Hunters new brigade has been disbanded at Port Royal. There are some facts connected with it that have come to light Some weeks since the Charleston papers gave an account of the revolt of the negroes and killing of hundreds. The story was 80 terrible that it could not be believed. But New York paper indig- nantly denies that hundreds were killed, and says that only thirty were killed outright. It then goes on to state that the negroes were averse to the | service and rebeled, threw down their arms and | refused to drill, whereupon the white regiments fired into them, killing thirty. How many were wounded is not stated. This is the reason why | the negro brigade was disbanded.

 The best joke of the season was perpetrated by some free negroes of New Y York. Lincoln attempt ed to get up colonization scheme, had interviews with negroes, tried to get number to promise to go to Central America, and gave notice that he would be glad to receive communications on the subject from the negroe. of the North. Of course, | a great many letters came, containing all manner of suggestions, but the best was from negroes in New York. They inform the Baboon that they think the plan of colonization is just the thing; that | the population of the North is redundant, and they had better get rid of part of it, and, therefore, they suggest that the che people shaW 90 10 Central | America and Merico, and leave the North for the d arkies.
 Gen. Curtis has failed to verify the old sdage of {" honor among thieves" Itappears that he tried to cut too fat by selling permits to cotton buyers and making them pay him share of the profits.

The editor of the Mem phis Union (Federal) Appeal told some truths, by accident, concerning Curtis, and was arrested but permitted to go on bail.
