From THE ARMY oE THE PoToMAc.-A pri
7ate letter fron member of the 44th New
York to brother in this city, gives SOM
yery interesting illustrations of camp life II
the army of the Potomac. Writing under
date of York town, May 18th, he says, in de
scribing the services rendered by the impress
lille contraband:
"These contrabands have been very busy
during the past week cleaning up pitts, and
a very great Improvement has already been
made and considerable labor is yet necessa
~. These darkies are a great source Of
amusement to US. They dance, sing and do
all the dirty work and make themselves use
full in various ways. There are several hun
dred of them here of all sizes, sorts and shades
from the little mig not large enough to crawl,
to the grey-haired man: One of them who is
1913 years old distinctly remembers The times
OF the Revolution, and says 'Massa Wash
inston once stopped at his lnassa's home
Young darkics take to dancing as naturally
as duck takes to water. Our boys get out
their flutes and furnish the music, while they
rake it down beautifully.
I attended church, this morning, in the on

lain has been busy cleaning up. ! was call
ed thither by the 'church-going bill-the first
occasion of the kind since we left Albany.

TIE New SHERMAN HoUsE-It is now ten
months since the new Sherman House was
opened to the public. Within that time thei,
books show twenty -four thousand arrivals, or
an average of eighty per day. The period
covers the dullest season of the year, and the
wear is one of war and general depression. II
is most significant token, and one we gladly
notice, that this noble hotel enterprise has
been a success. The house is doing a large
business, and its daily register shows page
from which we read the fact of its own pros
perity, and that of the trade and travel of the
country. Mine host, Roberts, has placed his
hotel establishment on a sure basis, and made
it credit to tho city and the Northwest

EDIroRs JOURNAL: A prospectus, OF
truly conservative newspaper" has been
circulated here, from which extract the fol-
lowing: "Fanaticism will be rebuked severely
and unrelentingly. Slavery will be treated
as local institution, subject only to local
laws. 1t will speak boldly for right and hui
manity-for principles, not men-and will
try to keep pace with the progressive spirit
of the age"
The name Conservative, in this crisis Of
our history, has become stencil in the nos
trls of Northern patriots, and is only made
use Of by Vallandigham, Pourtly & Co., in
Congress, and their outside supporters, to in
itiate measures for the aid and comfort Of
Southern rebels, and the perpetuation of
Southern slavery. Taking this view of the
true Conservative, construe the above ex-
tract as follows: Anti-slavery fanaticism
will be merely rebuked. Slavery will be
treated as local institution, subject only to
Confederate civil laws and Confederate mar
tial law, but Federal civil laws or Federal
martial laws cannot be made instrumental,
Constitutionally, in subjugating rebels. II
will speak boldly for the rights of our South.
ern brethren, and for humanity to the rebels
but will also contend that negroes have nc
rights that white man is bound to respect J;
for the principles Of pro-slavery, but not fol
pro-slavery men; and will try to keep pace
with the aggressive spirit of slavery OF this
age" If this proves to be true reading
the advertising columns of the Telegraph
will undoubtedly show who the Conservatives
Of our city are. Now, Conservative Telegraph
I trust thou wilt be either hot or cold, bu
if thou be neither hot nor cold, l will speV

nea-Speaker Grow writes to friend as
follows:
This Congress is redeeming in good faith
all Its pledges to the people. What you said
of it few days ago was eminen'ly just. II
may seem to the country to move slowly,
but no Congress before it has, in the same
time, accomplished so much for the future
greatness and glory of the Republic.

Slavery forever prohibited in all the terri

A BLAMED NUIsANcE.-It is a lamentable
fact that we have many nuisances in our city
which should be abated forthwith, but the
irtolerable stencil which rises from the
sau ghter house near the river in the upper
part of the city, is blamed, internal nui-
sance. A disgusting mass of fifth is strewn
along the river bank and perfume steals
