CURTIss FREE PAPERS.
The following is copy of an emancipation pa

havin,, by direction of his owner been engaged in

Thousands OF negroes, seat forth under similar
papers, have been shipped TO the North yet, &C
cording TO their own reports, some five thousand
runawsys yet remain within the Federal lines at
Helena Most of the officers. aud many Of the pri
Yates have supplied themselves with servants of
both sexes
Of the condition of affairs in the vicinity of He
lena gentleman recently from that point gives the
Memphis (FedefaD Builetia gloomy account. 1t
is stated that the negroes manufacture all sorts OF
lies about having worked at Fort Pillow, and thus
obtain passes to go North. These remain upon
their masters far,us long as they can get any
thing TO eat and instead of working they set them
selves to stealing horses. mules and cows in fact,
al! softs of stock are taken, and disposed OF by
them at astonishingly low prices. The overseers
the plantations have gone off, aud lie negroes are
masters of the situation.
This is the Northern co!oring of affairs in that
portion of Arkansas under control OF the Federal
army and although it is doubtless colored favor
ably as possible, it exhibits condition gloomy
enough. From this our people May learn the cha
reeter of the war they will see, IT, by their own
supineness. they suffer it 10 be broughs home to
their own doors.
