Our readers VIII learn with satisfaction

quirsr, in tbe article below, some Of The
benefits and blessings the negroes have
ooumehtcd enjoying under the benign in
lucncs of "Old &bes' Einan6patiop
Proclamation.
CeGuabands.
Again I feel it my duty to speak Of tho
unfoftdnate condition OF the contrabauds
in this part Of the country. If the people
of the North knew one.lwcntieth part OF
tho sufferinss q the negroes here, they
could scarcely abstain from sending seme
thing to keep the coniiabunds from aclu.
ally dying of starvation. When waa
last in Baton Rouge, only few days
since, | was surprised at the extent ofthe
misery among the negroes. They were
coming within our lines at the rate oi four
or five hundred daily, hungry, foolsora,
aha, ID some instances, actually naked.
Families would arrive, sometimes wo-
man with f7e or six small children, en-.
tirely destitute. Frequently in gang Of
bAV''b WI bNeDl1 bSSiOcbt wv VI tuioC Va
them wonld be so sitk that they Would
drop dosh and dis btfotc they 5ould b
sent to the hospital. They very Irctucn,
ly came in badly wounded by balls receiy.
cd from the Rebel pickets while they were
making their escape, l noticed one man
who had six children with him, the oldest
Of which could not have been more than
twelve years Of age, who informed me that
the mother was shot dead the night before
by Rebel picket. was told that as
one negro quarters hundred and seven
ty-six died in month. OF course VIC
have to make a show of feeding them but
the rations [ saw Issued were anything
but suitable to their condition 1t was
not pleasant sight to SEQ a little child
sitting down to nothing but piece ofraw
fat bacon and bread. But the contra
bands are exceeding fortunate in getting
that much, for they are not unfrequently
left to starve 10 death when our army
moves. Some idea of their dcstitution
ihay be gained from the fact that in the
month Of 3ahut.y, at Baton Rouge, $500
yards Of plantation gingham were issdcd
10 the women. ! have no means of know
ing what amount of SHOES, has, clothes,
was given to the hlcn.
