The Effect OF Freedom.

While the District emancipation bill was
pending In Congress, the freedom. hating, pro.
slavery sympathisers with the acknOwIedge
"cause of the rebellion" were loud In their
protestations against the passage of the bill.
They suddenly acquired a remarkable "sym.
pathy for tho negro" and dwelt most patheti.
cay upon the terrible straits to which the
unfortunate manumitted negroes would be
driven, In consequence Of being relieved from
supporting their owners, in addition to their
own meager support, grudgingly eked out to
them by these same "0wners." Five months
Of freedom to the colored people have elapsed,
and "black paupers ard criminals" do not
'crowd our institutions" or "beggars line our
Streets" even though hundreds of contra
bands have been added to our free colored
population.
An old resident of the District recently met
one of "the unfortunately manumitted" In the
street. He had known him for years Rs q
slave, poor, puny and ragged. Now he was
well dressed in good flesh and health, and
bore on his head a well filled market basket
containing an abundance of both the substan.
tials aud luxuries of life. "Ah, Jim," said the
citizen. how is 1t you can afford these things 7"
"Oh, hues now" said Jim; "I'm a sexter to
dc burying.ground; make plenty money, an
all my own; don't have to glib 1t all to Missus,
an she glib us only Jest 'nuff to keep starve.to.
death away" And away went Jim, happy az
lark. This Is the experience Of hundreds.

waited on the sick and wounded arriving lately

that your informant could not have been aware
that Mrs. Julia Weed, lsister Of Captain Whit.
was the first lady who administered medical
comforts and clothing TO the sick and wounded
And since their arrival In this camp, Mrs. Weed
has been most unflinohing In her attention to
those men; and her living very close to the

a Begg.r with $500 In Gold.

A man by the name of VIM. P. Bowhay, who
travels about on two crutches, having the ap.
pearancs Of extreme poverty, was last week
going IRON door to door soliciting charity. I'm.
fortunately for himself he went into one of our
police stations, TO ply his art, on Monday last,
when he was taken into custody for violating q
corporation ordinance in reference to street
begging. He was committed to the lookup,
when, on searching his person, $5l8 In good,
hard gold was found on him. 1t seems the man,
who is about so years of age, was a ship car.
penter by trade, and while engaged In some
service for the Government received some per
manent injury, for which Congress some years
since voted him $500 for his relief-,he greater
portion of which he has boarded to this day.
He was fined 50 for violation OF the oorpor-
alton law, which sum was deducted from his
pile of gold, and he was sent on his way. He
reemed quite indignant that this sum should
have been taken from him, and made grievous
complaint 10 the superintendent Of police for
this unwarrantable Interference In his
honest avooation." Mr.. Webb gave him to
understand that If he intended to make begging
his occupation, with that sum of money IN his
pocket, he would do well to select some other
uelu of ODeratiOn.

Arrival or More proops.

Pennsylvania is coming nobly up to the work
IN furnishing the new quota Of troops. Last
saturday two fine regiments arrived In this
city and marched up the Avenue on their way
TO Dixie. The l24th, under the command Of
Colonel Holey. was recruited In Chester ooun.
" In about five weeks. This was followed by
the l26th, under Colonel Elder. This regiment
was recruited In Franklin county. They were
all ino looking young men, the very pride Of
their respective counties, and will doubtless
render good service for our country In her
hour OF greatest need. These regiments are
inlly equipped and armed with improved mus
kets made during the present year.
Late In the afternoon Of the same day, the
l22d regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers, un-
der Col. Franklin, arrived at the depot, and
were quartered at the Soldiers Rest" They
were marched over the river yesterday. This
regiment was recruited In Lancaster county.
They, also, are a hne looking body Of men,
armed and equipped, and reflect credit on the
"keystone State"
The Boys' report twenty thousand new re-
cruits in camp at Harrisburg.

lifted up with ranges for cookery, hot and cold

formance OF the culinary duties with ease,

ward building is 1888 feet long and Is feet wide.
They are placed rs feet apart, and each wifi
accommodate 80 patients, giving each patient
eight or nine hundred cubic feet. An admira-
bio system Of ventilation is one Of the special
about foot square. under the head Of each
bed can be opened nj any time for draft Of

are also plenty OF windows to afford light at all

another walk extends along the rear. Descend.
