RIEPHANTPn

"Omaha, the Vicksburg correspondent of the New
York World, sends letter. bearing tie July 2S which
contains some interesting statements about the negro &C.
cesslons to Gen Grants army:
The return of the army fon Jackson was the occa-
sion Of a remarkable exodus Of negroes. There were
few abe-bodied young men, for the policy OF making
soldiers of them has made at least nre out OF ten AS
anxious to keep out of the way OF the ankees as are
any Of their masters. But all the old men and women,
and Young children in the whole region OF country
around Jackson-those who have been burden upon
their masters and will necessarily be dependent upon
our charity accompanied the army on its return in
large numbers Every species Of vehicle, and an untold
number of broken down horses and mules were pressed
into the service by these cOntrabands en- route for
cksburg. Their effects consisted Of wonderful
quantity of old clothing and bedding and dlapdated
furniture which they seemed oregard as of inestmabe
value.
The transportation, however, not sufficient for
all and hundreds carrying many as possible OF the
inevitable bundles, trudged along on foot. Ali seemed
animated by fear that guard would overtake
pass and leave them behind and such straning OF
ergies and hurryng and busting, were never before
known among the whole black creation. The soldiers
we're particularly struck With the ludcrous appearance
presented by the darkes and the tedum and fatigue OF
the march were often relieved by good jokes cracked
at their expense, which served to CONFUSE the whole
brigade with laughter.
What on earth we are to do with the immense mum.
bers ofthem coming within our lines is problem which
the future alone solve. One thing, bosever, is GER
tain. No matter how worthless or how incapable of
self support they cannot tie permitted 10 sar7e, and
whether collected in Que locality equally distributed
TO give each township in the North Us proportion
of psupers they will be supported at the public e1-
