THE ARIZONA REBELs.-Many intimations
have been given that there is danger Of Fort
Yuma being attacked and possessed by the reb-
els in Arizona and those who leave this State
to join them. Lieut. Col. West, who was late
y in command at Fort Yuma is now in San
francisco, and says he has no fear for the safe
y Of that fort. Some time ago, he sent out
parties for eighty miles up the Colorado, and
upon certain day they pounced simultaneously
on all the ferry-boats, and carried them to Yu-
ma, where they now lie, to the number Of about
twenty-five. safely moored under the guns Of
the fort. To effect a crossing, therefore, the
rebels would have to be attended by a pontoon
Wain, and that il is safe to conclude they have
not and could not transport il they had. Fort
Tuna, too, is to be garrisoned by nine compan-
ss-one Of artillery, two of cavalry and six in
nnFy. Breastworks were, at last dates, in
course construction.

General Washington and the Negro.
By L. MARIA CHILD.

Many old persons in Boston and it's
vicinity can remember colored man OF
the nsme of Primus Hall. He had a
good deal OF natural Intelligence. had
amassed comfortable property by his
industry, and was always active in his
efforts TO promote education among the
colored people of that city.
During the war OF the Revolution, he
was the servant of Col. Pickering, who
was the intimate and confidential friend
Of Gen. Washington. This circumstance
brought Primus Hall into frequnet rola
tons with the Commander in, Chief. He
had great fund of anecdotes concerning
him, which he was fond Of relating One
of them conveys a lesson which may not
be without usefulness al the present time.
Gen Washington often held consultations
concerning military matters with Col.
Pickering His headquarters were at
considerable distance from his friend :
tent, and one evening, finding they were
likely 10 be occupied ill late hour, he
proposed to remain all night with the

and, being eager to oblige the Comman

Ths humble beds were prepared, side

was ended the two officers lay down "a

An Exciting Scene in Plymouth Church

How shall describe the dolefu scene
| witnessed last evening?
On Sunday morning, at the close OF
his discourse, Mr. Beecher announced
that on Monday evening, the 29th of Sep.
tember, there would be a meeting held
in Plymouth Church, for the benefit OF
the Brooklyn l4lh Regiment, which had
been in the service since the commence
ment OF the war, had fought in eight bat,
ties, beginning with Bull Run, where
they stood vallanlly TO the last, and had
now part OF them returned wounded 10
their homes their regiment was broken
and crippled, decimated at the last battle
at Manassas. where foremost against the
enemy, some met death, and others were
wounded or taken prisoners; and they
must now be recruited, or the name OF
the Brooklyn lith would be lost.
After mentioning speakers who would
be present, he added, land, God willing
shall be there myself" To which
responded, If God is willing, | too shall
be there.
Early Monday evening | was in the
plymouth Church. The multitude came
and soon every part was full A few mo
ments before 8, the members of the
Brooklyn l4Ih, accompanied by band
OF music, entered. and forced their way
up the crowded sises to the seats left va.
cant for them before the desk, amid loud
demonstrations of welcome.

DON'T trouble yourself about me, Gen.
eral, rejoined the negro. No matter
about me-
But it is matter said Washington.
This will never do, Primus If either
of us must sit up, | will take my turn.
But there is no need of that. The blank
ct is wide enough for two, come and lie
down with me-
Primus who reverenced the Comman.
der-in Chief as he did no other mortal,
protested against such an arrangement.
But Washington threw open the blanket,
and said in very decided tone, Come
and lie down, l tell you There is room
enough for both, and insist upon it,
The tone was too resolute 10 admit OF
further parley, and the General and his
colored friend slept comfortably under
the same blanket till morning.
This anecdote was originally publish
ed by the Rev. Henry f. Harrin gton, in
Godey's Lady's Book, June, 1849. In
1855 it was republished in book enti-
tied The colored Patriots of the Ameri-
can Revolution an interesting volume,
compiled and written by VIM C. Nell.
OF Boston, who deserves great credit for
the intelligence and earnestness he has
manifested in vindicating the cause of
his oppressed race. Mrs. Stowe wrote a
brief preface to this volume, in which
she says: The services of these color
ed patriots Of the Revelation were far
more magnanimous, because they did
not tight Tor their own land, but for a
land which had enslaved them. and
whose laws, even in freedom, oftener op
pressed than protected. Bravery under
such circumstances has peculiar beau
~ ana merit. Their white brothers in
reading these sketches, may remember
that generosity and disinterested courage
are OF no particular race or completion,
and that the image of the Heavenly
Father may be reflected alike by all"
