scene

a correspondent of the Boston Journal writing
from Fortress Monroe under date of the Oath ult.,
describes scene as follows:
At present there is an immense number of con
trabands congregated in and about Hampton,
and their shelter tents dot the plain far and near
l spent an hour among the sable individuals, and
was greatly amused at what | saw and heard
The most of them came from the vicinity of Rich
mond and the Pamunkey. Ii was truly a motley
crowd, and the curiosity hunter was well repaid
for his trouble of visiting them They are under
military control and discipline, and divided
into companies with "white bosses :" They are
of much service in loading and unloading car
goes, which is pretty much all they do. The only
way to make a darkey work is to make him fear
you. This is the first step to be taken, and un
less il is taken you might as well undertake to
make dead mule labor as to make one of them.
1t was noon when we entered their quarters,
and they were just falling in for dinner, which
consisted of piece of boiled salt beef and three
hard crackers. Dinner beirg over, these stall
wart corner stones of the Southern confederacy
would leave the shelter of the tents and doze in
the sun, which seemed almost hot enough to boil
eggs. The hour had now arrived for them to
fall in and proceed with their labor; but Sambo
had no idea of falling in if he could possibly
avoid il, and the only way to bring him to terms
was for the bosses to seize their old rusty
bres and flourish them among them in the most
ferocous manner. This had the desired effect,
and 1t was really astonishing to see how rapidly
they could move when obliged to do After
the male portion had proceeded to the docks, we
rambled about among the gentler sex. Some
were engaged in washing for the soldiers, others
baking hoe cakes, and making themselves useful
generally. Ii was really amusing to see the little
darkies irollicking about and padding in the salt
water, some of them being no larger than quart
bowl \ number of the female darkes were
quite pleasing to look upon, having the Anglo
Saxon cast of feature, just dark enough to be
mistaken for Cuban. with easy graceful man
ners, and tolerably intelligent countenances. To
be sure such instances were rare, bat striking.
