count OF the arrival, in Philadelphia. Of !
company OF nearly one hundred Runaway
negroes:
Philadelphia, March %, 1862.
AT five o'clock this morning nipetv.sex,

Baltimore Railroad, and were mafched
Immediately TO the Volunteer Refrfsbu,sbf
Saloon, at the foot Of Washington street. 5y
population of police officers of the First
District. An immense crowd followed the
contrabands, shrieking, mimickine and
tormenting them. At the saloon thew
were plentifully fed at the tables where q
hundred thousand soldiers have been re-
fIesned. The crowd meantime surrounded
the shed or stable wherein they were feed
ing, and at their appearance made the air
clamorous with their cries. Some intensely
iudlcrous sceues were here enacted. and
the negroes were by turn filled with fear
and merriment. About hundred Pbila-
delpbia blacks had in the meantime heard
OF the arrival OF their brethren, and com.
mlttee OF these were allowed to enter the
saloon and consult with the fugitives. The
interview is said to have been exceedingly
humorous and ended in the aceeptations
by the distinguished strangers of sundry
invitations to Lodge with our negro citi,
Gems.
The wealthy negro families here have
generously sheltered the Ethiops, and it is
probable that a number will remain in the
city. The abolitionists are using eyery
endeavor to secure the employment Of
blacks in the arsenals and navy YARDS
Memorials Of this description are being
circulated in this city, and certain Con-
gressmen are pledged 20 sgitate the mat
ter in Congress.
The negroes who have arrived are Dress
ed in the coarest grab Of hemp, and those
that stray around the city are singled out
for universal criticism and laughter. Most
of these contrabands have been engaged
with Banks division, repairing railroads
on the Upper Potomac. They have brought
their grandmothers and children, ayav.
and we saw among the arrivals one woman
upwards of a hundred years old, who stated
that she had more than twenty children.
Three OF these negroes were the property
of ex-senator Mason, snd two of Hon, C.
j. Faulkner.
Three hundred Fugitiyes expect to get
here next week.
Our citizens are, in the main, incensed
at the appearance of these people, and the
laboriug people are particularly chagrined.
Several of the men have money, and one
negro had Treasury notes to the amount of
a hundred dOllars."
Here now, we have practical demon.
stration of the effects of the efforts of the
insane abolitionists of free negroes, They
already begin to come North In gangs n
one hundred at time, bringing along their
children and Grandmothers, to TO support

hundred more are expected next week I"
So we are told-and their good friends,
the abOlitionists, are trying to secure them

German and American laboIers! Sambo

publican party IN power, think of this state
of affairs? Does not this prove that the
Democrats were right, when they contend

proving triumphant, would result in hay.
ing the whole North overrun with worth
less negroes, to come into competition with
the white laborer? When the Democratic
paI ers predicted that this would be the
case, they were ridiculed and scotfsd at by
the Republican papers.
This is but the beginning Of the evil
They are now coming by the hundred, and
il abolitionism is not crushed out and put
down, by the potent influence of the ballot
box, aste- a while they will come by the
thousand As these blacks are willing to
work cheaper than white men, our white
laburers will, as a matter of course, be
thrown out of employment, to the extent
that these people are introduced into our
midst. That will be the inevitable result.
Pennsylvania being q border State, we will
get more than our share and may expect
to suffer more than others.
The Democratic party is in favor of lets
ting the negroes remain in the South and
earn their living on the plantations where
they have been reared. We do not want
them here, to throw cur white laboring
population out Of employment. to steal from
our Farmers and to fill our Poo- Houses
and Prisons. We have a. many colored
people here as we need. Let the South
erners take care of the hundred year old
women and young darkies. themselves
Unless this thing is checked by some
means, it will prove serious evil and an
intolerable characterization argus.
