Correspondence Of The N. Y Tribune.
NKwBERs, May 81, 1862.
Gov. Stanley continues the policy Of propitiating
the Shareholders of North Carolina, and succeeds
admirably. His house is the resort Of an admiring
crowd of Newberners--U nonssts now, late Rebels
who are greatly elated at the prospect Of affairs.
They no longer 10 about gloomy, moody, and sulens
as of old. "Ah p they are heard excaining, :" we
viii show you now who own the nigyer. 1t isn't
Gen. Burnside and his Yankee thieves that shall
have their way now. IL is Gov. Stanley, North
Carolnian-none Of your nigger-worshipeTs." And
go they laugh, and are merry.
On Wednesday, the 2Sth, the evening schools ee'
tablished by Mr.. Colyer for the colored children,
were closed. We visited the one held in the Afri.
can Methodist Church in Hancock street, and found
the Superintendent, With officers Of the army
and navy, within the chancel. Behind them was
hung suspended in front Of the pulpit, large white
cloh with the following quotation from 9Th chapter
of Matthew, written in large letters. 1t was tho
reading lesson Of the evening:
Love your eneuiss bless them that you do good
to them tina, hate sous and pray for them that deseaJ
use and prosecute YOU"
A large assembly Of the contrabands was present,
between five and six hundred, DID, young, and mid
dle-sged. With melancholy patbos they were
singing the familiar Sunday-Scbool hymn Joyful
ly, joyfully onward we move, bound in the land OF
bright spirits above" A prayer followed, in which
sllusion was made to the closing of the school, when
sobs could be heard audibly through the whole
house. The speaker then announced to them, in ac-
cordance with the suggestion Of Gov. Stanley that
such schools were contrary to the laws of the State
of North Carolina, that whoever engaged in them a.
teachers laid themselves liable to criminal indct-
ment and that he Gov. Stanley came with instruc-
tions from the General Government: at Washington
to enforce such laws" be, the speaker, would 10
compelled to close the schools. He complmented
them on the rapid progress they had made in earn'
ing to read, over one hundred of them now being
able to read well, and competent to act as teachers
for the rest. He remarked that during the
six weeks the schools had been open,
not one word Of complaint or Sign OF
disturbance had appeared against them.
He also alluded to the fact that for two months
they had been engaged on one work--the fovt-and
the owner there had informed him that not fight or
disturbance had occurred among them. He enjoined
upon them to continue at their peaceful vocation
the same law.abidng people they always had been
to remember the lesson hung upon the pulpit be-
fore them-to rest upon the Savior and to be assured
that their situation would command The prayers and
interest the hearts of millions Of their friends
throughout the Christian world. The speaker had
hardly sat down before the whole assembly rose aud
sang with solemn psthos the doxology, "Praise God
from whom all blessings flow" and then, shaking
bands, went reluctantly and sadly away. 1t was an
impressive shougi painful sigh.
The cloeing OF the School at the Baptist Church,
where the more advanced scholars We're, was similar
in all respects save that here there few native
Caro'inians who plainly manifested their exultatioo
at the prompt effect of Gov. SANKEY'S presence by
mods and grimaces
The school for the children Of the citizens-whte
not disturbed by tie Governor 10
was visited Gems. by Burnside and Reno, who were
received by fifty children with flowers and smil-
ing faces. Gen. Burnside was SO much pleased
with this school, that he kindly offered Mr.. ColyeS
$50 toward it, support
1t is believed that Gen. Burnside does not symps
thize in these Pro-Slavery acts Of Gov Stanley; bat
as Il good soldier, will obey the commands OF the
Government, even though it should go against his
own well known and generous impulses.
RETURN OF FUGITIVE SLAVES TO THEIR
MASTERS.
The next act of concession to the Rebels-foR
these so-called " Unionsts' or "loyal chizens'
were nothing else but Rebels until they were suIu-
gated at the ntrenchments and on the battlefield on
the banks of the Neuse River below Newbern-was
the return of their fugitive slaves. 1t was soon
understood among them that Gov. Stanley, for the
purpose of conciation," would return the slave Of
any citizen who would take the cath Of allegiance"
As they bad taken great many oaths before and
broken them, this was great matter of hipdrsnce,
60 long as they could get their nigger.
Accordingly one Nicholas Bray, who lived on the
Front road promising the Governor that he would
take the oath, got permission to hunt his darkies.
Bray and bis wife took cart and went TO the house
in New bern where one of his slave women was liv-
ing, and although she was sick he carted her tri-
umphantly OIL to his farm, two miles away. Sue
cseding so well in this he returned in the afternoon
and went to the office Of the Superintendent Of the
Poor" where the hst of contrabands is kept, aud
many 20 for food, and searched the premises Mr..
Coyer was away at the time, but he says that the
girl Bray was after, was Young Miss Of sixteen
summers, nearly white, and Of very attractive APP
pearance; that she was in the kitchen, and seeing
Bray approach, she ran out the back door like q
frightened deer and scrambled over the fence aud
hid in neighborng corn-crib. So Bray did aot snc-
coed in catching her.
INDIGNATION OF THE OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS
OF THE ARMY.
When all these facts became known to the army
and il went, as an officer remarked, as though
whirlwind had passed over the camps-the utmost
INDIGNATION and humiliation was manifested by every
officer and man in the ranks Not one, whatever had
