WAY NEGROES.


What is ts become of the poor, ignorant and
helpless negroes, who either runaway OF are
stolen from their comfortable homes in the
South, and sent up North by the Yankee in
vadirg army, is a problem hard of solution
When they get there they fud tn m selves amor g

viii be denied the privilege even + working fOr
q support Olly the other day the association
Of slaughter and m~cking-house men in Chicago
passed the following preamble and resolutions
at ore of their meetings:
WHEREAS. l. has come to the knowledge OF
the MEETING that it is the intention Of one or
more Of the Leading packers Of this town to bring
negro labor into competition with that Of white
men, for the purpose Of reducing the wages OF
the ls;ier - the lowest possible standard
Res0lUed, That We, the ~pscking-house men Of
tbs town of South Chicago, pledge ourseiv. s
ut 70 work for any packer, under any cons d
-ration, who viii, in any manner, bring negro
sbor into competition with our labor; and
further,
Resoired. That, if any member Of this society
shoald SO lar demean himself as to work in a
packing house where negro labor is employed,
his name shall be stricken from the roll of mem.
bers Of this society, and such person shall hence
forth cease 20 Ct ~ the cOuEdsnce of, or derive
any benefit from, this society.
In addition to this, we publish, this evening,
a letter to the Chicago Times from Columbus,
Kentucky, which foreshadows a gloomy future
for the negro in the North. The writer, who is
10 the army, and speaking Of the laboring class
Of the soldiery, says, " their places (of Occups-
ton at home) in their absence, are to be filed by
the negro their labor, when they do return, is
70 be brought into competition and depreciation
with black labor. Let one go among the troops
snd hear the mensees Of determination Of the
black race North when they return, and their
bitter denunciatiOn Of the emancipation policy,
and if he we're not blinded by abolition party
prejudice, he would prophecy, the seeds are
sewn for another terrible outbreak in the futur
in which the poor, helpless and innocent negro
will be driven forth from the North with slaugh-
ter and confusion"
Knowing these things to be true, as they eer-
tsinly are and viii be, is it not singular that the
Federal forces viii still persist ia enticiDg the
negroes from their homes. and thus fastening
upon them this croel fatef Would that the ne-
( goes throughout the South could be made aware
Of the facts

We are informed by a very intelligent gan
tlemsn that the bridge across Cypress creek,
about ten miles from Corinth, was burnt By the
enemy, and that our forces were not aware OF
lis destruction until they arrived at the creek on
their retreat. They were then forced to run
down the creek and cross on q mill dam where
the enemy had taken & commanding position
The slaughter Of our troops at this point is said
to have been terrible. The enemy pushed DO
farther than this mill. Il would appear from the
statement thai the retreat by the bridge was not
properly guarded by our of :ers.
The other oversight is said to bs the neglect
TO destroy the railroad leading f ON Corinth TO
Columbus aud Cairo, which enabled the eIeny
to run in reinfOTcements, unmolested, during the
entire night previous to our retreat.
Our informant gas not spprised of what route
our trains took, bRi was assured that they were
all safe and in good ondition-Mississippiaa.
