s.ll on H.. Davis 70 rec VIA, tie news is by what
Of Ct il; has on ser. Size sometimes won't see them,
saving Ia, Lat il wha they have come for.
GoITs.
Isaw NJ. Bots two or three days before lei,
Richmond. lie was tried and discharged. lie lives
;bou, a mile from Il hmond. Wien he was in the
flaye-gen, he had everything he wanted he didn't
look as though he suffered. If they were all like
him. there would no; have been any war.
The HOSPITALS.
They bring a good many sick soldiers 10 Rich
mond. They were talking abou, using the churches
Tor them when came away. They have used the
old eiave-pcus for hor iials. The ladies don't show
20 much kindness 10 he soldiers they did after the
battle Of Manassas. There are not 70 many women
politicians as there were then. 1t seems do though
: their great expectations are failing.
IHE SLAMS.
The colorod people are treated great deal better
than they were before Tho vm. They have taken
a great many free people TO work fOr The wer; they
said they were going to allow them 81 month.
Box 10 colored man would work the Notifications
if be could help it. They think through this war
tley will pet their freedom. They would rather
STAY il Richmond II they had tleir liberty; Virginia
suits them better. Fourteen out Of fifteen would
fight II they could get chance, bar like the Union
men, they keep dark; they thinks what they choose
hut speaks nothing. They watch the coorod peo-
ple more tran they did before.
