Free Negroes in West Virginia,
;Por tba TntslIt,anea.1 -


NeSsrs, Editors: 1t is important forthe
new State of West Virginia to make n
right start Hence many good and
wise men have viewed with regret, the
clause in the proposed new constitution,
which refuses an asylum to FREE NE
GROEs. That clause is Objectionable in
several respects. Firstly: 1t is gross
i'll usage of your neighbors in Ohio and
Pennsylvania Probably not one Town
ship, i'll those great and mighty States,
desires an influx of these people. Yet it
is to be hoped that not one Township
would consent to the barbarous inhuman-
ity of driving them out Therefore il
Virginia rejects them, those States must
receive them.
Secondly, III is morally wrong. "We
hold these truths to he self cvident:"
Whatever action is, by the law of nature,
morally right or morally wrOngwhen per-
formed by one individual or community,
is morally right or morally wrong when
performed BY any other individual or
community. For instance, suppose the
practice of fraud, violence, sensuality and
drunkenness to become universal, we
should have hell upon earth. Suppose
the practice of benevOlence, compassion,
Justice and temperance to become uni
versal, we should have heaven begun
below
Try the thing by these principles. If
it is right for Illinois and Virginia to
drives out these helpless and unfortunate
people; it must be equally right for In
diana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
in one word, every Northern and every
Southern State to do the same thing.
Where shall we drive them? Into the
Ocean or into the lakes? Are these help
less creatures to have no dwelling place
on Gods foot-stool! When God ''formeI
them, did he not design them an abodev'
Let us drive them over to Canada
Then by the same rule, the Canadians
might drive them into the ice and snow
OF Labrador and Hudsons Bay. Human
ity shudders at the idea of such atrUcity.
We may not desire, nay it is certain
that we do not desire, the presence of
these people, in our midst. But by be-
coming barbarous and inhospitable, we
commit n crime, against the laws of God
and nature. We had better sacrifice
some of our caprices and some of our
prejudices, rather than consent to cruel
and inhuman enactments. However hard
the task may be we must learn this less
on, that in order to be happy, nations
and communities, must be Just and gem
erous. That nothing morally wrong can
ever be truly expedient.

REDEL GRowL AT THR SURRENDER OF
ISLAND NO. 10,
trrom tue Richmond dispatch, April4J


ISLAND NO. 10.
(FrOm tue Richmond Dispatch, April4)
The circumstances connected with the
surrender of this position, with all its guns,
ammunition, &C., are hLtRiIiGfing in tie er-
IRENE. The daily bulletin from Island No.
10 for many days represented that the eu-
emy, after an incessant bombardment of
many hours, had inflicted no injury. We
were constantly assured that the place was
imprcgnable, and that the enemy never
could pass it. Brigadier General Makall
assumed command of the post on the 9Th
in a flaming order, in which he pronounced
himself a General made by Beauregard-
a General selected by Generals Beauregnrd
island was surrendered, and along with it,
according to the Federal Commodore
Foote, seventy cannon, varying from 80 to
l00-pounders, rifled. He adds: "The mag
aziues are well supplied with powder, aud
there are large quantities OF shot and shell
and other munitions Of war, and also great
quantities of provisions. Four steamers
Htioat have fallen into our (their) hands"
The Commodore snys the works were
"erected with the highest engineering
skill;" were "Of great strength, aud, with
their natural advantages, would have been
impregnable, if defended by men," he
Chooses 10 say, "ngntlng Tor q better
cause" 1t may be--that Foote de-
sired to magnify his own achievement. by
representing the place as stronger than it
really was but, then, did not our oien qe-
counts, and The Van 6Oasting of The AEsmphis
tstegrgPhs, make the deEences just as strong
and impregnable as the burut-foot Commo-
dore doesl They certainly did: and were

indeed be amazed at the surrender of the
famed Island No. 10, which has furnished
SO many paragraphs for telegraphiug.
But even the surrender need not have
carried necessarily along with it the am

add 80 literally of other things in our Of
ferings to those who are better supplied
than We are. q
We do not know that we would inquire
into these matters. We are utterly dis.
gusted with these islands, aud trust thd
they are ended igith LSEGnd No. 10. They
and the lost forts were all fruitful enough
of disappointment aud modification; bu

Rumor has it that the Yankees are rein
forcing. Three thousand are said to be ut
Col. TOmpkins', this side of Gauley Bridge,
and two thousand at Fayetteville. The
Pierpoint government having included
Monroe, Greenbrier, Pocahontas and Mer-
Ger in their new State. it is said the Yam
KEGS are to send force sufficient to subiu-
gate us. After they get possession of these
counties, then they will take II vote OF the
people whether they will belong TO the
new State or to the old. OF course the
vote will be taken-if taken at all-by the
voters being compelled by the force of arms
to go to the polls. We do hope that some.
thing will be done for us by the government
before it be too late.
II Sesms strange that our cardiry, lrho are
stationed at Princeton, permitted the Yankees
to come into Monroe. They have been sta
toned in that region all the winter.

TANTALIzING SILENCE REGARDING "No. TO-"
Rebel editors are very slow to believe
that Island no 10, with all its garrison and
munitions of war, has surrendered to the
Union forces. The rebel Cabinet preserves
ii profound silence on the subject, which
fairly agonizes the "knights of the quill'
in Secessia, and they are loudly calling
out for official information regarding it.
We give sample of their inyOcatious:
(FrOm the Petersburg Express, April ls.)
We call upon them now to say whether
they have received any information about
the capture of the island, and, If they
have. to publish it, SO that we can COM
pare the two accounts and arrive in this
way at something like correct conception
of the reality. We do not ask them for
any Information that would be improper
for them to give. We ask only for what
pertains to apublic event that has occurred,
and which is known to all Yankeedom in
the exaggerated details in which it has
been presented before them. Island No. 10
has either been taken by the enemy in the
way they say it has, or it has not been ta-
ken. 1t has either been evacuated by our
troops or it has not been evacuated. II is
believed that the government iu Richmond
has the means of removing all doubt on
these points, and as we cannot for the life
of US see any objection to candid dig.
closure by them of the facts which they
may be in possession Of, we hope that they
will give them to the public without fur
tier delay.

BEAUFORT, April, IA, 1862.
Beaufort is ours. Col. Leasure and two
days rations, and the Roundhead men
marched four miles out the road, and then
marched back again. After being electri.
fed by the booming of Pulaski's fight, and
the taking away of one regiment of our
brigade, aud then by marching orders, and
an actual start in light order, after we
trudged four miles it was announced that
we were experiencing "movement drill"
1t really WAS novelty, but the disappoint-
ment soured the temper of every one, and
turned the milk of human kindness to the
baughnaughclabber of disgust. The regi.
pent was halted alta very pretty spot near
q creek, in the midst of shady grove of
pines. If some of my city friends would
enjoy "rural raptures' enthusiastically let
them carry packsack some warm morning
before daylight ong to French's hotel on
the national road. Take also twenty
pounds OF grub andifiVe of water and am-
munitiOu ditto, wrap three times as many
straps around a heavy overcoat as they
ever saw on horse. When you stop, and
the fresh morning breeze blows on your
throbbin' brow in the garden of said hotel,
think you on US, and you will realize the
