'Elle Negro as Soldier.

The correspondent of the World writ
ing from Hilton Head, gives the following
facts, which 60 to show conclusively that
the negro soldier experiment is not only a
failure, but that under the emancipation
proclamation the negroes are fleeing from
instead of coming to our lines:
The negro br gade is again involved in
trouble-the negroes are deserving, casting
aside the scarlet trousers, gaudy buttons,
and glittering muskets. Massa Lincum
has them tree, and their Interpretation of
freedom is no work of any kind; hence
they do not desire to exert their muscles
in the common labor performed by white
men. \ negro soldier was shot last week
for attempting to force the guard. a
"brother" in color fired the fatal ball.
This act has put an end to enlistments in
this enlightened body of colored peo-
pie. Gen. SaXtOn, so rumor says, has
asked to be transferred to some other de-
partment; he has had enough of negro for
some time to come.
The foregoing is from the correspondent
of q Democratic paper. The following OF
the same purport is from the correspond
ence of a Republican paper, the Philadel-
phia Inquirer:
The negroes are rapidly deserving, and,
in spite OF the efforts Of the provost guard,
they still 60 The white officers cannot
recognize them when in citizens cloths,
and hence black patrol has been estab-
lished. The Sth Maine volunteers, who
are guarding the plantations, are having
their hands full, and 4 vast deal Of trouble
exists on the colored question.
The negroes at this place have thinned
cut since the first of January, many even
of the house servants being among the
list of absentees. They go out upon the
adjoining plantations, and the colored fair
sex hide them when sought after So
great has been the flight Of the CONTRA
bands that our chief quartermaster, Capt.
G. E. Fuller, has been obliged to get de-
tails of white men from the regiments to
do duty heretofore performed by the con-
trabands. Now white soldier does guard
duty, unloads vessels, and, besides being
q stevedore, he is also obliged to be a sail
or, while those "men and brethren " are
out in the woods or On plantations enjoy
ing themselves and the pleasures of eman-
cipation.
1t is rumorel that Gen. Saxton, tired
and weary of negro brigades and regiments
and Reverend General French's sway, has
applied to be relieved from this department.

A Portrait OF the Empress Josephine.

Josephine was rather above than below
the medium size, hers being exactly that
perfection of stature which is neither too
tall for the delicacy of feminine proper
ton, nor so diminutive as to detract from
dignity. Her person, in its individual
forms, exhibited faultless Symetry and
the whole frame, animated by lightness
and elasticity of movement, seemed like
something ;nrial in its perfectly grace
ful carriage. This harmonious case of
action contributed yet more to the digni-
fed, though still youthful air, so remark
able in JO>ephine's appearance. Her tea-
lures We're small, and finely modelled, the
curves tending rather to fulness, and the
profile inclining to Grecian, but without
any stGtue-like coldness of the outline.
The habitual character of her cOuntenance
was placid sweetness, within whose intlu-
ence there were few who would not have
telt interested in being so gentle. Per-
haps the first impression might have left
q feeling that there wanted energy A: but
this could have been for an instant only,
for the real charm of this mild counte-
nance resided in its power of its varied
expression, changing with each vicssitude
Of thought and sentiment. Never" says
a very honest admirer, "did any woman
better Justify the saying, The eyes
are the mirror of the soul" Josephine's
we're of q deep blue, clear and brilliant,
even imposing in their expression, when
turned fully upon one; bat in their usual
manner they lay half concealed beneath
their long and silky eye-lashes. She had
a habit Of looking thus with a mild sub
lued glance upon those she loved, throw
ness as might not easily be resisted, and,
even in bis darkest moods, Napoleon con-
1essed its tranquilizing power; realizing
exactly the fine description of the old poet.
Jo>ephine's long lair was a glossy chest
nut brown, whose sunny richness harmon
ized delightfully."- with a clear and trans
parent complexion, and Il neck of almost
dazzling whiteneSS. Her eyebrows were
a shade darker, arching regularly, and
pencilled with extreme delicacy. She
read delightfully."-, and nature had been
here peculiarly proptious; for SO har-
monious were the tones OF her voice, even
n the most ordinary conversation, that
instances are common Of those, who com
ing unexpectedly and unseen within their
influence, have remained as if suddenly
fascinated and >pell-bound, till the sounds
ceased, or fear Of discovery forced, the lis
Ieners away. This charm is known to have
wrought powerfully upon Napoleon. His
own admission was: The first applause
Of the French people sounded to my ear
sweet as the voice Of Josephine" On the
whole, Josephine, perhaps, might not ex-
actly have professions to be what is termed
a fine woman, but hers was that style of
inc beauty which awakens in the heart a
far deeper sentiment than mere ADM

TIE following incident is told of the cap
ture Of the steamer Harriet Lane at Gal
vestOn:
Among the first men struck down were
the gallant Captain Wainwright and lst
Lieut.. Lee, who both fought, the prisoner
says, with desperation and valor that no
mortal could surpass. He saw them bleed
ing and PROSTATE upon the deck, still deal
ing death among their enemies. One
young son of Capt. Wainwrig ht---only ten
years old: just think of it!-stood at the
cabin door, a revolver in each hand, and
never ceased firing till he had expended
every shot. One of his poor little hands
was disabled by ball SCATTERING his tour
fingers, and then his infantile soul gave
way he burst into tears and cried do
you want to kill me?" Darling young he

SAINT PAUL. FRIDAY JANUARY 20 1856

"my new uniform and twenty-five dollars

and know we shall be taken do take

boat faded away the story 60. into the
ranks, and is now a current joke But
these scenes are not common.
There is queer character here--a wo-
man who has been playing pranks on young
officers For example, she went to Major
Rel, and told him such doleful story
about her property--how it was seized by
"the Federals," and all that sort of thing
that the kind-hearted Major set himself
about righting her but he discovered that
she was {; she.joker and an imposter. On
another day she attired in the garb of a
sister of charity, and appeared before one

be rid Of Popery. lie, poor soul, did what
he could, and she went away laughing.
She has been visiting Col. John S. Clarke,
the new Provost Marshal Of the Depart
ment of the Cult, and he now has some
phase OF her Affections in bis hand. The
only person that ever "saw through her."
was Col. Deming, the acting Mayor of the
city. He turned the tables on her. The
name of this female joker, or rather the
name and title by which she is known to
the officers of the army and others, is Brig
adler General Dick. Col. Clarke, the new
Provost Marshal, is destined to be fear
fully sold. He is one Of those men who
think themselves not green, and You know
how green such persons usually are. He
is a big fellow, with smooth tongue, and
thinks himself afable, handsome, and at
once a pain-Ailler. There are mere people
in this city than Briga.lier Dick that will
sell him.
\ well-knOwn citizen of New Orleans
was asked the other day how Gen Banks
Staff compared with Gen. Butler and his
Staff. ''Well," said the citizen, dryly,
''there is a heap Of difference Butler and
his officers were, at times, little rough
but they accomplished a great deal Banks
men are very polite, but slow. Some of
them seem to be in large place for the
first time. Anybody, rich or poor, could
see Batter; to see Banks you have to get
a pass from the officer of the day, at
headquarters, then, after long waiting,
you get into the presence Of Richard B.
Irvine, Colonel, Assistant Adjutant Gene
raj, and this gentleman, if he likes, will
let you into General Banks room.
Did you ever have any thing to do with
war? 1t produces foppery, and in the
general stirring, much scum and preten-
sion come to the top Of the pot. The pet
test kind Of grievances about their rank"
and ire date Of their commissions and
their social positions and al that. 1t
would be q comfort to see these lads back
engrossed in their former avocations once
more.
This is Jackson's Day. Il is passing
away, however, as all the great days in a
nations history do, wien the people are
