To Loafers
There is just one thing we would like to
have distinctly understood We want loaf
ers to keep away from our Office unless they
have some kind of business. We DOM
want a gang around our Office swearing,
smoking, and hindering our hands from the
performance of their duties We have a
strict set of rules in our business, and
they shall be lived up to. BY this we do
not mean to say that we are not willing to
see gentlemen in our Office any time, but
don't want loafers around, nor will we
have them. If gentleman wishes to
come in and read our exchanges he can do
so without fear of molestation.

10! THE POOR NEGRO.

The Cairo correspondent of the Chicago Journal,

dtion of about one thousand negroes that have Ell.

and sent to that place. He says .rr
The ugitives placed in the empty barrack build
ings more open than many Northern barns, with no
place for fire, and with no wood to make fire Of
Half naked and barefooted women. and children
may be half mile way picking up bits of
bark chips, or stray bits of wood to cook their ra
tons with or to keep warmth in their shivering
frames. Some have carried dirt into their shanties
forming rude hearths on which few embers can he
placed the smoke escaping into the building almost
binding in its density. Water is carried from the
river-distant from half to three quarters of a
mile. Of course. there no facilities for washing,
cooking, or other household work. Many of them
are sick and others have died from exposure
Mothers, with from five to eight children sit from
day to day in these dreary cold buildings, trying to
hold on to warmth and life by means of personal
contact and the few rags they brought from
the land Of their captivity. How they pass these cold
nights, God only knows, as they have no bedding
worthy the name. Tins they are dragging along in
utter wretchedness, and suffering more than pen can
express. 80

FRANKLIN Va, Nov 81, 1862
Mr.. EDIroR:-Whilstt the General Assembly is in
session, something should be done for the relief of
the citizens of the Eastern portion of North Carroll
na-that section of our State now in possession of
the enemy And means should he taken by the
State authorities to prevent the Vandal hordes of
Yankee barbarians from gaining possession Of an
other foot of our sol-for every advance they make
weakens us, and depresses cur true and patriotic
people-robs them of property, drives them in
exile, destroys their homes exposes themselves,
their wives and daughters to insult and outrage
Burning, plumber, Dissertation and rapine have fol-
lowed in their track. Virtue has not been too sa-
cred age too venerable for their impious hands
to violate. The privacy of the family altar and the
Sanctity of the hearthStonc have alike been invaded
by their lcentous and profigate soldiery Where
all was once plenty, peace and happiness they have
stamped desolation!
How long, ask tue General Assembly Of North
Carolina shall this state of things continue. Can
not that body do something to retrieve the past
and to give security for the futures Will those
who selected by the people, as the peoples rep
resentatives chosen for their patriotism, speed
lily do something to avert the impending utter ruin
of the. fairest portion of North Carolina? None
know but those who have seen, as have, the con-
dition of the citizens in sea- board Counties
The simply giving to soldier meal subjects any
person there to arrest and indefinite Imprisonment.
If father visits his who is fighting the battles
cf his country when he returns to his home to tell
the mother the from her dear boy, he is liable
to rot in United States Jail. For the least Of
fence-imagnary or real-given to the "Union
soldiers" ten-fold vengeance is wreaked upon the
hapless victim who may be charged with the crime,
(God save tho mark) Already country co,npri-
sing thirteen of the weathlest counties of the State
and which in the last year of peace exported over
l,50N,0O bushels of grain and more than 40, 900
bales of cotton, ruined Millions of dollars
worth of slave and other property have eli her been
carried off or destroyed Yet this state Of things
continues without any seeming abatement, or any
indication that remedy will be provided.
The attention of the General Assembly is called
to this subject and it is earnestly desired that it
will be the first which has their consideration
North Carolina should be defended against further
INVASION and what has been lost should be regained,
so far is practicable if it takes the last and
the last dollar in the State to accomplish so noble
an end. Very respectfully,

and our army is said to be waiting the opening of
the bail by the enemy.
There is rumor, but we know not what con-
fdence is to be placed in it. that Burnside has been
superseded by Hooker, an abolitionist, and Cen
cral more dreaded by some than Burnside.
The enemy continues to commit depredations
upon the inhabitants Of Eastern Virginia and North
Carolina.
The Yankee General Rose is said to have been
killed short time since in Northern Virginia, by
Col {mboden's Rangers
We have no items of war movements from the
West or South.
Nothing has transpired since our last worthy of
note, in the movements of the Abolition forces at
Newbern.
Rumors said to have come from Newbern, state
that Wilmington will be attacked in short time.
Of course any rumor of this kind coming from the
enemy cannot be relied on. We may expect him
to strike where he intimates intention of doing
The state of the roads and weather will soon pre-
vent any active operations in the field

A correspondent of the Columbia South. Garolin-
tan thus notices the attention paid to sick and woun
ded soldiers on the Railroad cars by ladies of our
State: "a
"On recent trip to Virginia, after a wounded
soldier, pleasing incident occurred at Henderson,
N. G. AS the cars stopped, milk and various edibles
were sent in for the hungry and weared soldiers
At Hillsboro, long after nightfall, lady with two
lovely daughters, (Mrs. C-n, of Hillsboro) with
servants entered the cars and made their way from
front to rear distributing to the sick and wounded
soniers cordial, wine, sandwiches and milk in great
profusion. These ladies were compelled to provide
and carry their own lights, for the company is too
close to have lights burning in the cars or wood in
their stoves. Yet under all these disadvantages,
these ministerng angels continued their benevolent
mission and ministered to the wants of the woun-
ded SICK tired and hungry defenders of our SOIL un-
til we reached the Companys Shops, when, in mid
night darkness they took the return train for Hills
boro, carrying with them the blessings of the re.
freshed soldiers These benevolent ladies doubtless
felt that it is blessed to give than to receive
And what contrast do they present to the unfeel-
ing officials who fill the the offices of the Govern
ment at various points, .Paymasters grudgingy
pay over the wages due to the needy soldiers, and
upon various pretexts Withhold portion of the Dues
if possible Other official, whose signatures are
necessary, put them off from day to day, consulting
their convenience; whilst the cars are filled with
spectators, Hebrew and Christian, who occupy one
seat and fill up the other with their wares goods
and merchandise excluding the wearied soldier and
his no less weared attendant The law of Congress
makes it the duty of Government officials to convey
the sick and wounded to the cars, and provide for
them seat. But no attention is paid to these
qurements, and conductors content themselves with
collecting the fare and leaving the poor soldier to
shift for himself"
