General Pillows Slaves.

The correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette from Helena, Arkansas, gives in
formation about negroes, and particular
ly about those of General Pillows, con-
corning whose future that gentleman
was so severely exercised five weeks ago:
"The sooty black man is continually
escaping from his master in Mississippi
and making his appearance within our
lines, The other day, while leisurely
wandering along the shore of the sad
Mississippi my attention was arrested
by the appearance Of small craft near
the opposite shore, apparently drifting
toward me, while in IL | could plainly
discover some dozen bipcds. And, upon
nearing me- | saw that they were Afri-
Cans--sable sons making their escape
from the land of bondage. And as the
great Father Of Waters did not give way
that they might pass over, as did the
Red Sea to the Israeites they supplied
that Proyidential interposition with their
own genius by constructing a raft And
thus it is with hundreds. They have no
idea Of remaining logger with their rebel
masters, but seek the lines Of our army,
where they can find work in relieving
the soldiers hard labor
And as ] see that General Pillow is
much exercised in mind about his ne
grocs, ! will give him all the information
can ON that point and may they be
words of comfort to his troubled soul
Prompted by curiosity, visited his plan
tations the other day, and found occu-
pants plenty and his abundant crops OF
corn were serving a noble purpose, for
they were extensively taken as feed for
the Federal cavalry horses, and one or
two fields of hundreds Of acres began TO
look a little barren and deserted. And
then il will be a still greater consolation
& him TO Learn that his negroes are doing
a blessed work, for they are daily march
ed in squads TO the landing and there are
cheerfully permitted 10 relieve the Yam
KEGS by unloading boats OF commissary
stores, and many OF them pride them
selves by whirling a whip over a six
mule team and, so far as outward ap-
pearances indicate, they are all choeful
and happy with their lot Now if these
words of information will be of any con-
ISOLATION whatever TO Gideon j., he is
welcome TO them, am sure, for they
have been written In tenderest regard for
his feelings

incident:

Condemnation in Church.

The Boston Herald gives publicity to
the following incident which /; locates
in Getty within forty miles Of the hub
Of the universe" The name Of the town
begins with either S or X" the Herald
don't say which.
A railroad man, in that quietly jolly
style which takes with everybody who
likes a good Joke, but wouldn't know
ingly do a wrong or criminal thing for
the world, is frequently called 20. this
town and vicinity by business. On Sun
day, recently, he rode 10 an adjoining
town, and called on an acquaintance who
had some very nice bottled cider, which,
the natural presumption is, he tried
When our railroad friend came away, he
was intrusted with a bottle of this cider,
TO be delivered 10 another railroad man
in Boston The bottle was not very
bulky; our friend had capacious pockets
in his coat, and so be slipped "the origi-
nal package" into one Of them. On arr
irving at the town Of doubtful name, but
which positively does begin with either

church wide open; and being a regular
church-goer, he went in. lie had a scat
in a prominent pew, with three young
ladies in front, deacon near by, aud the
elite Of the congregation near him The
services were commenced, and our friend
was soon under the influence which is
always produced by the inspiring music,
the solemn invocati on, and the sympa
thetic deyoutness Of an orthodox congre-
cation in a country village.
The pastor had commenced his sermon,
the audience was unusually still and at

| ing 10 The punishment Of sinners, which
he was just developing, when "Whack

issued a yellowish white stream, like

ing, and spluttering in an incompatible
manner. Our friends clothes were satu-
rated, and the apparel Of the ladies in
front, and Of various members Of the elL
all around, did not escape. Our reader,
can judge Of the sensation produced in
the church. We have no details, but /
can reasonably be inferred that the cler
gyman thought that if the sermon did moi
stop, the cider would not go on. Also tina
our friend found himself in rather an

1t is truly painful 10 see what low
estimate those yirtuous, learned, and

would never become human beings unless
