AND so THEY ARE COMING THE Negroes
are coming! If report be true, 1--WE cannot
vouch for the report being tru@,) there has
quite batch of negrOeS-(c n'rabandS we
supposed arrived in this ntighborhood W IT,
in few days, and the same report says that
some very respectable Ct Z n las import
ed them, hithsr;o to be employed as dom s
tics, but whether in the capacity of chattlls
or as free laborers, report does not say.
II does look little funny, that things
should turn round so: export our white
men to the South to do the fighting import
black men to the North to do the work !;
this is shaping things 'tothcr way. Why
cannot the black folks stay south and do
the fighting, if fight it must be, and let the
white folks stay at home and do their own
work?
QuERY-Will these black people be sub
ject to the draft? VIII the government al
low us to send them as substitutes for draft
ed men ?-if so, it might pay to have few
more imported, so that we may have stock
on hand and rca l if this fight is about
the negro, as some people say it is, wi y
not the negro for himself?

APHI &c


New York, June 15.-The Times says
editorially that information reached this
CITY Yesterday from Washington, that
Lees army, 10000 strong, was on this
side Of the Rappahannock marching
northward, and Hooker's army was has
tening forth to prevent the rebel ad-
vance. It is said that Lee, before the
close Of last week, crossed by the fords
above fredericksburg and was appar-
emily pushing for the Orange and Alex
andria railroad.
BY Friday Hookers whole army was
on the northward march, following on a
line between Warrenton and Cartlett S
station.
All our ccmmissary stores have been
embarked from Acquia Greek.
Lee has been joined by large detach-
ments from North Carolina and the'Black-
water, and all his cavalry has been
massed on the north fork Of the Kappa
hammock.
Longstreet's corps, lately at Culpeppel
has doubtless been joined to Lees.
Hookers force cannot be inferior tc
Lees, and our army has been heavily
reinforced from the Nansemond and the
peninsula, and elsewhere.
No Official or semi official indications
If these movements have been received
from Washington, and the Times says
.'These accounts we have obtained from
other sources but there seems to be an
agreement that our army and that OF the
ebels are both on the move, and SO close
together thay can hardly avoid col
lision soon
A dispatch dated on the morning OF
he 18th at the headquarters OF the 9th
army corps, states that troops and wag-
ons have been passing there all night.
The 9th corps was still guarding fords,
with orders to be in readiness to move
at a moments notice.
The Herold says editorially ut is
evident that an active campaign is now
in operation on the Rappahannock.-
Harper's Ferry, the Shenandoah Valley
and the upper fords Of the Potomac are
points indicated by the rccentrebel move
mentS.
Our army is also changing its base,
and supplies are being transported from
Acquia Creek to Alexandria.

The Attorney a BLACKBOARD.

Touching delicious ending, a Yves
tern correspondent supplies legal in
cident that will be, appreciated, we
know:
Several weeks ago, when one of our
present Justices Of the Superior Court
was district attorney of heighboring
county, rather laughabe incident oc
Cured, as related by himself. Court
week he used to occupy bedroom al
Lewis Hotel, the principal hotel at the
county seat. He had his books and pa
pers in this room-here he drew his in
dictments-a important cases he used
to direct the sheriff to the peoples
witnesses for preliminary examination.
1t happened at one session that he
had an important murder case coming
on. The celebrated General (nowjudge)
Nye was counsel for the defendant He
examined the witness as usual, and took
careful minutes Of what they would say
on the stand He found that lady was
the most important witness for the peo-
pie, and he also discovered that she was
rather exctable and high strung, and a
fast talker.
Apprehensiyc of trouble, he thought
he d caution her Il little So he told her
when she came on the stand not to talk
"Pay attention, says the district attor-
ney, ''to my questions, and answer them,
no matter how often, but don't talk, and
when Nye comes to examine you, you
must be very careful and not get excl
ted, for he il Il great blackguard and
will try to get you mad. Just pay at
tention TO his questions, end answer them
no matter how often repeated, OF how
apparently silly-but don't let him get
you off your balance"
The district attorney and witness part
ed Tor the night. The next day the case
came on. The district attorney called
his witness and she went through with
her evidence, on the part Of the people,
to his perfect admiration and he handed
her over to Nye.
He went along awhile very smoothly
Pretty soon he began to crowd her, and
she began to Glare up" he crowded
her the more and she resented the more,
and very soon they had a regular breeze
Finally losing all self control, she broke
out on him as follows:
81 won't answer any more Of your
contemplate questions, you're nasty,
dirty bleckguard, and the district attor-
ney told me SO"
After the laugh had partially subsi-
ded, Nye continued
What the district attorney told
you 50? When and where did he tell
you SOP
"He told me SO last night up in his
bedroom ?"
The scene which followed this answer
may be readily imagined In the midst
Of the shout, Nye told the witness she
might pass"

Not Sorry.

We are not sorry even now that we pre-
eentcd to orr readers that editorial which
appeared in the CHRONICLE last week. AS
vet we have seen no cause to alter the opln-
ions there expressed, and, although some
who read the CHRONICLE thought the ideas
thrown out in that editorial to be strong
rather too strong after careful rcvtiw O.
them we cannot see any just cause to re
tract. If any one else has become satisfied
that there is not so much falsehood, and cor
ruption, and deceit, and villiany, with him
we have no controvcrsy,-l,t him have his
opinion, and if any one can SCI that, III
n national point of view, the country is
prospecting, let him have his opinion
If any one can see that the indications ar
favorable for a scooping out of the rebellion.
If any one can see that the drafting opera
ton is going to be quietly submitted to, an
that we will take the whole thing cody, and
be mustered into service without any fuss
Let him enjoy lis opinion. If any one can
see that the armies Of the Mississippi, or Of
the Rappahannock, ar4 doing fi'strate, 1t
him enjoy his opinion. If any one can see
that the South is gaining anything, or that
the North is gaining anything, we have no
dispute with such, but to our mind, the
whole thing looks dcplorably forlorn-to our
mind melee of madness has snitten the
country, and that in this mad melee, both
sides will fight, and keep fighting with a
frenzy 50 fierce that in the end of it, it will
bc something like the battle of the Kilkenny
cats, nothing left on neither side but the
tails.

MATTERS AT THE PHILADELPHIA
NAVY YARD.-The iron-clad Galena
has been stripped Of her armor prepar-
atory to necessary repairs.
The Shenandoah will soon be ready
for sea, and a better specimen of naval
architecture has never been constructed
at the Philadelphia Yard
Workmen are busy pushing ahead the
new iron-clad Tonawanda. All who
visit her are struck with the immense
strength and enormous powers Of resis-
lance which will characterize her when
finished. No ether armorcd ship, built
or building, will be her superior in any
respect. 1t is believed that no ord-
nance has yet been invented which will
have force enough 10 penetrate her sides
of iron and oak

There was a severe fight at Miliken's
Bend on Saturday-one Of the severest
of the war, for the numbers engaged
The rebels, six thousand strong under
Henry Mccullough, were formerly at
Alexandria, Louisiana, but are more re-
Gently from Richmond, La. They
marched from the latter place in three
columns-one on Young's Point,
another on Miliken's Bend and the third
on Lake Providence.
The force that reached Miliken's
Bend was about two thousand strong
Onr force at that place was composed
of negro regiment six hundred strong,
with about two hundred white soldiers.
When the rebels first made their APP
pearance, the white troops fell back and
the negroes followed. 1t was soon as
certained that they were surrounded and
must fight or surrender. The rebels
proclaimed no quarter to the negroes,
and the negroes proclaimed no quarter
to them.
The fight was conducted with the en-
ergy of desperation by our forces, and
they held the rebels at bay until a gun
boat came to their assistance
A gentleman who saw part of the
fight, and who was on the battle field
after it was over, says the negroes fought
ike tigers-better, in fact, shan their
white officers, who, it is said, did not
stay on the field The Colonel, partic-
ularly, is said to have skulked away in
