Administration, and his election, by such
a sweeping majority, shows that the peO.

A GENTLEMAN recently from Port Royal
was present when some Of the educa-
tors, recently sent from Massachusetts,.
arrived, and describes the scene as highly
interesting. One Of the female teachers,
OF reaching the shore, where q large
number Of cOntrabands, male and female,
had cOngregated, Immediately walked to
one Of the latter, and with extended arms
attempted to embrace her, exclaiming, as
she did so, "YOu are my sister," The
wench had not been used to such non-
sense, and supposed the woman must be
drunk. Indignantly pushing her aside,
she said, go way, white gal-never saw
We afOre; where you get your whiSkey ?"
And thus ended the interview.
