Pillows Negroes.

The public interest excited in re-
gard to Gen. Pillows negroes, by q
recently captured letter to his brother,
renders interesting the fact that Gen.
Curtis has freed all the negroes in
question, numbering 275. Pillow has
three plantations near Helena, on
which all movable property has been
confiscated. The attempt to run off
the slaves of Phillips county, Arkan-
sas, was thwarted by Gen. Curtis un-
expected arrival, who has freed at
Helena about 1000 slaves, chiefly
those who worked on Fort Pillow and
Donelson, and helped to blockade the
march of the army Of the Southwest

For the Charles City Intelligcncer.
Emancipation.

CoMSrH, Miss, Aug. 5, 1862.
DEAR EprroR II believe that the
policy of emancipation, as advocated
by the Tribune is the only one that
will give us a permanent peace. But
when the North adopts it she must
make up her mind to place her shoul-
der to the wheel and not look back.
l am ready, for one, to fight for it,
aud believe the majority of the
army will heartily indorse it. This
war has made more abolitionists than
ever the speeches of Wendell Phillips
did. But, whatever policy the Gov
ernmcnt may adopt, let it proclaim it
and back it with all the power of the
north. The rebellion can never be
put down with the troops now in the
field. Never did we stand in need of
troops more than at the present time.
Gen. Lew Wallacc's suggestion, that
oflicc-holdcrs ought to leave their
desks and do their part in the crisis,
is . good one. The rebellion may as
well be put down in three months as
three years and when the last gun
has been fired, may the beams Of re-
turning peace shine on our country,
q whole country, in which the clank-
ing of the chains of q single slave
shall not be heard

DEATHS.

,,DIED-Near Oxford, on the cd of April, Mrs.
age.
The deceased possessed an amabo disposition,
retiring in her manners, and Il mind in harmony
with the beautiful and good. She was admired
and beloved by all who knew her, Her death was
sudden, her illness lasting but about an hour, and
caused, it is supposed, by n rupture of n blood
vessel near the heart She communicated to her
husband that her death was nigh, and committed
Rer spirit to the keeping of her gracious rcdcemcr
know thou hast gone to the house of thy rest.
Then why should my soul be so sad
know thou hast gone where the weary bles,
And the momncr looks up and is glad
Where love has put of in the land Ct its birth
The stain it had gathered in this,
And hope, the sweet singer that gaddeued the earth
Lies asleep in the bosom of bliss.
know thou hast gone where thy forehead is starrd
with the beauty that dwclt in thy soul;
Where the light of thy loyeliness cannot be marrd,
Nor thy heart be flung back from its goal;
know thou hast dr' nix of the Lelhc that flows
Through land where they do / OF 70 get,
That sheds over memory only repose,
And takes from it only regret.
Il thy far'away dwelling, where'er it be,
believe thou hast visions of mine,
Aud the love that made all things music to me
have not yet learned to resign
never look up with a vow to the sky,
But light like thy beauty is there
And hear low murmur like thine in reply
When pour my spirit in prayer.

The Soldiers Family.

The Republican of last week IN speaking of the
dcstitution of a soldiers family in this vicinity
asks "Have our county officials no authority to
relieve such suffering }" OF course they have no
authority to do anything of the sort. They did
give relief to the needy as long as there was any.
thing in the Treasury to give, and for a much
longer time than many other counties extended
aid. In the case referred to the township Trustees
had administered such relief as was Immediately y
required nearly week before the Republican was
published !
