On our trip up we had on board TALL

He was from Eastern Ohio, and by some

From THE SoUTa-The Fredericks-
burg Christian Banner QoyaD thus de-
scribes the progress of gradual enamel
patton in Virginia;
We continue TO chronicle the unceas-
ing stampede of contrabands, in order
that our readers may learn some of the
delicious fruits of the demon secession.
They continue to come rolling in from
every Southern point of the compass. A
cOntraband from Essex county came in
town on Tuesday last bringing his wife
and children, and travelling in elegant
style. He came in fine buggy, drawn
by a splendid horse. The whole party
were well dressed, and had plenty Of
money. They provided and brought
along with them large supply of the
comforts Of life The man reports that
his master had gone to Richmond with
a quantity of "cattle, chickens" &c, &c,
and that he expected 10 return on Sat-
urday, the IL inst, after which time he
was going to take said cOntrabands to
Richmond, or somewhere down South.
lie put these loyal subjects in charge of
his possessions until his return. No
sooner, however, had he gotten fairly on
his way to Richmond than this pair of
trusty loyal contrabands took all they
wished, and all they could bring, and
left masters affairs at home to take care
Of themselves as best they could.
Really, it reminds us somewhat of the
old Jews, when about TO make their exo-
jdus from Egypt, they borrowed all they
could from the Egyptians, before they
left for the happy land of Canaan, new
err intending to return a single article TO
their owners and the negroes take all
they can conveniently, without the least
idea of ever returning to their masters a
single cart OK, horse, wagon, buggy or
anything else. Within the last few days
! several hundred have crossed over TO the
North side of the -BappAhannocS river
on their way to parts unknown. We
learn that thousands are being
sent by their owners "Down ,Souf"
while thousands are running away
and going "Norf" 80, by the
two operations, we think it quite proba-
BILE that Virginia will become free
State, before gradual emancipation can
take effect according to any law that may
be made on the subject. We do not
think, from present appearances, that
either Congress or Virginia will find it
very difficult to legislate negroes out of
the State of Virginia.

The citizens of Richmond are COM
pietely at the mercy of band of foreign
born hucksters, Matters have come TO
that pass that every mouthfll we eat,
except bread, must pass through their
hands, aud be doled out at their exorbi-
tant prices, Nothing but mob law offers
any hope Of getting rid of them. This
method of purging the market we do not
recommend, but the day is clearly not
far distant when its adoption may be
! necessary. People cannot be starved to
enrich few lrishmen and Germans
The sight Of a huckstor hanging from
market lamp post would exert a more
beneficial effect on the prices of the ne
ocssarios of life than the combined pow
ers Of the city authorities and Brigadier

Pacific Rail oad---Good Sugg sstion.
The Nashville Union thinks that the
Government might put few hundred
thousand negroes, the chattels of rebel
masters, at work on this great national
highway. 1t would be an excellent way
to punish the rebels, il would be a very
cheap way to build the road, and it
would enable the Government TO dis
pose of good many troublesome ne
groes.' We might begin, say with
South Carolina, and just clean out her
negroes to begin with. They could be
taken as apprentices, and after q GER
tain period of service the Government
could colonize them. Perhaps there
are other railroads, or canals, or public
works of military importance which
demand immediate attention, and these
could be constructed admirably by the
slaves of rebels. Beuuregard impress
ed 5000 slaves at one time to work on
railroad, and why can we not do the
sane7

Mr.. BoARDMAN:- Being in town on
last Saturday, and learning that some
considered Union Township deserved
the surname of dis Union, we set at
once to work to ascertain the justice Of
the charge, and the facts are these.
Union has sent into the ranks Of the
army since the commencement of the
rebellion, between 80 and 80 men, out
of voting population f245.
One of our citizens and four of his
nns are now in the ranks; another has
fire sons in the army, the oldest only
about q, and the youngest Is years Of
age, and ha is none of your hot house
plants, but stalwart, sun Drowned six
footer, that looks like he might be 21;
and John Kellis has not only, got these
five brave boys in the ranks but if he
thought it necessary, it would not take
much persuasion to get him in also.
Such men, Mr.. Editor, ought to have
life pension granted them, to be assessed
off of the property of old, dried up
bachelors, and growing ami tax mon.
Now, if any Of you can beat this, you
may look out to hear from old Union
again. So just report to
PAP'S % son.
