The Army and Negroes in Missis-
sippi.

The Vicksburg correspondent of the Chicago
Times writes:
The return of the army from jackson was
the occasion of a remarkable exodus of negroes.
There were few able-bodied young men, for
the policy of making soldiers of them has made
at least nine out of every ten as anxious to keep
out of the way of the Yankees as are many Of
their masters. But all the old mer and women,
and young children, in the whole region Of coun-
try 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. Ev-
cry species of vehicle, and an untold number of
broken down horses and mules. were pressed in
to the service by these contrabands en- route for
Vicksburg. Their effects consisted of won
derful quantity of old clothing and bedding, and
diapidated furniture, which they seemed to re-
gard as of inestimable value. The transporta-
ton, however, twas not sufficient for all, and
hundreds, carrying as many as possible of the
inevitable bundles, trudged along on foot All
seemed animated by fear that our rear guard
would overtake, pass, and leave them behind,
and such a straining of energies, and hurrying
and bustling, was never before known among
the whole black creation. a-9 es'
What on earth are we to do with the i'm
mense numbers of them coming within our linesf
is problem which the future alone can solve
One thing, however, is certain: No matter how
worthless or how incapable of self-support, they
cannot be permitted to starve, and whether col

as to give each townshipsin the North its pro-
portion ef paupcrs, .hay will be supported at
the public expense. Thers is another thing a.
bout this negro question which is eyen rl.yss eer-
tain than the other proposr.:,s. Ihe minds OF
all of them are filled with the most extrayagant
ideas of the North It is to them country of
ease and plenty and happiness, and say and do
as you will, as soon as the military blockade is
made less stringent, they will swarm upon you
like the locusts Of the east. Until came down

They will 20 North, if they accomplish the dis
tance on foot. They don't feel safe here, not
even those whose owners are dead, and their
fears impel them to 60 North. And then, their
extravagant ideas, as bright and glowing, as far
as their own ease and happiness is concerned, as
the warmest imagination of the Arabian Knights
will never permit them to remain in the South
after the road to the North is open.

Despotism in Maryland.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 8, 1868

DALIlMohr1 AuS. ., Aooo'
To the Editor Of the ". Y. Ne,cs:
In the rush of mighty events, we are apt to
forget where we are drifting to. We have call
ell ourselves free people, under free and be-
nefcent Government We have boasted that
we were not even liable to the despotism of Eu-
ropean monarchies, and yet since the commence
ment of this war there has been attempted and
carried into effect. by the Government at WASH
ington and its tools, despotism the most afro
cious the world has ever seen. This has been
done SO silently and SO ingeniously that in many
parts of the land it has hardly been observed,
and yet so effectually that where 1t does show
itself it defes not only opposition but criticism.
There is not paper, for instance, in This poor,
oppressed State, that would dare even to pub
lish what have written on this page. de-
sire, therefore, through your columns, to call
attention to the unlustifabe and atrocious out
RACES that are daily practiced by Schenck and
his minions on the people of this city and State
Week before last mans barn was burned
down in one of the adjoining counties. The
man whose barn was burnt happened to have
been the enrolling officer of the district, and
Schenck orders that $4,000 shall be paid by
persons residing within 8 miles, most of whom
if not all, he does not even charge with know
ing anything about how or by whom the barn
was burnt, but he learns from the aforesaid en-!
rolling officer that they are, in his opinion, not
loyal. Since then, in another county, another
barn, belonging to loyal man, has been burnt.
He lays his claim at $500, and Schenck makes
his disloyal neighbors pay the amount There
is not shadow Of evidence that the man did
not burn his own barn. Knowing that be could
fix bis own price, and that his neighbors would
have to pay it, was not the temptation consid-
erables But such cases arc everyday occurren-
ces. But my object in writing is to send yos
the inclosed Slip from The Sun, Of this city. Of
a few days sinco The facts are stated n eys-
ry respect as they occurred. Please call aftes-
tion to them. Let Gen. Schenck beware ~

Awful Butcheries by Negro Sol
dierS.

A correspondent of the ST. Louis Republican
pives the following account OF one OF the most
horrible outrages ever committed in the country:
"We landed at place called Compromise,
in Tennessee, near the dividing line between
Kentucky and Tennessee, and heard shere from
neiahbors of most horrible murder committed
on Tuesday, the 4th. Eighteen negro soldiers,
fully armed, having come from camp on Island
No 10. went to the house of Mr.. Frank Beck
ham on the river, Immediately where we land
ed this morning, and murdered him, aged 40
wears. his old father, Maj. BENZ. Beckham, aged
so. and four children Of NJ +. Beckham--
Laura, aged Ia; Kate aged 10; Caroline,
aged I {; and Richard, aged years. They first
CAUGHT Mr.. +. Beckham and his aged father,
tied them, marched them to the edge of the
bank of the river, shot and stabbed them, and
threw their bodies into the water. They then
threw little Dick into the river; tied the two
Youngest girls together and threw them in then
raylshed the oldest girl, and beat her over the
head with their muskets until she sank down
The bodies of old Major Beckham and the
Youngest child have been recovered.
Many of our passengers and myself went to
the house and saw them. Fortunately two OF
the family of children were off at school, and
the mother and one child four years old went
up to Owensboro', KY, with us on our last trip.
| All the rest were murdered. Twelve of the
negroes were caught by our cavalry, and are
now confined at Island No. 10. Six are yet
at large. The immediate motive for the deed
was thought to be the fact that Mrs. Beckham
took up the river with her a negro girl as nurse,
whose mother had run off and was at Island
No. 10. The negroes had before endeavored
to steal the girl away, but MIR. Beckham drove
them off with arms. The above is correct
statement of the murder, which l got from the
neighbors and Mr.. Max Jehan, who had just
an hour before left Mr. Beckham's house, ane
is now passenger on the boat.

oual to the occasions that had arisen, and
that the appointment by an executive, from
personal or partizan motives, of incompetent
agents to offices of great responsibilities, is
at all times, grave dereliction from duty,
never more so than in great public emergen-
ces, when the disasters resulting from the
ignorance or incompetence Of the agents, for
whose appointment he is responsible, will
inevitably excite suspicious of fraud, and
return home to the Executive in humiliat-
ing charges of collusion." And it closed by
observing that ''they also report in general,
as the result of their investigations, that
they have found instances of ignorance, of
incompetence, of sharp dealing never praise
worthy, and here eminently disgraceful, of
bad appointments, which, although under
the peculiar circumstances of the times to
be expected, are none the less to be con-
demned."
The judicial investigation of the Frowen-
field case having proved failure, followed
asit was by the disappearance of the wit
ness, new committee was raised at the
next session of the Legislature by which it
was found, among other things, that the
case as shown by the absconding witness,
who had afterwards returned, was ''a clear
case of fraudulent completely between the
contractors and Charles NJ. Neal:" that the
clothing furnished to the soldiers ''could
have been afforded at $3.50 less per suit
than was given, and yet have left to the
contractors profit Of $1.50;" that "a large
portion of it was entirely unfit for the use
of soldiers, and much of it fell to pieces in
short time after it was worn by them; =
and .'that the flight of the Frowenfelds was
almost conclusive evidence that they, at
least, were conscious of having defrauded
the state" Our readers will Judge Of the
quality of this committee when they find
them adding. that while the testimony OF
| Murphy seems to excite a strong suspicion
against Neal, the testimony of Neal himself,
one of the parties implicated, seems to clear
him from all but "a great want of Judgment
in his purchase, and misapprehension as to
his duties," and that "his testimony shows
that he did not consider himself bound to
inquire either into the actual cost of the
gods used or their fitness for the purpose
intnded." 1t is rather surprising that they
da not hunt up the Frowenfelds themselves
assitness@s, as who would. no doubt, have
| made a clear case of it for the defendants.
/ In convicting them alone they forgot that
the offence charged was one which either In
volved the completely of the other party, or
did not exist at all, and therefore furnished
no occasion for running away. We are in
formed, however, that the confidence of the
1 Governor in Neal has been in no wise sha-
ken by the transaction. He still continues
to be among his most intimate and cherish
ed friends.
But enough for the present. We shall
return to the general subject which we have
scarcely yet opened"

Gen. Washington's Letter of Instruction
to Military Commanders.

During the Presidency of Washington occur
red the celebrated 'Whisky Rebellion" Major
General Daniel Morgan, of Revolutionary
fame, was sent at the head of an armed force
into the infected district. Some disturbances
having taken place between the citizens and SOL
diery, he received from the President the fol-
lowing letter, which with an apology for its
treason) we print for the benefit of those whom
it may concern;
PHILAD'A, March 27, I795.
DEAR SIR: The interest which you have ta-
ken in the safety of John Mitchell, as express
ed in YOUR letter of the 10th January last, would
be an inducement to 60 as far in relieving him
as public propriety would admit. But the At
torney General having made report, OF which
the inclosed is copy, think it advisable to
postpone the further consideration until the
trial shall have taken place.
1t has afforded me great pleasure to learn
that the general conduct and character of the
army has been temperate and indulgent, and
that your attention to the quiet and comfort
of the Western inhabitants has been well receiv-
ed by them. Still it may be proper, constantly
and strongly, to impress, upon the army that
then are mere agents Of cica po'cer they have
no more authority than other citizens; that Of
fenses against the laws are to be examined, not
by a military officer, but by magistrate; that
they are not exempt from arrest and indictments
for violation of law; that officers ought to be
careful not to give orders which may lead their
agents into infractions of law; that no compul-
sion be used toward the inhabitants in the traf-
fic carrying on between them and the army
that disputes be avoided as much as possible,
and be adjusted as quickly as may be without
urging them to an extreme; and TINT the cholt
couatrv is not considered as ,c,th the limits Of the
camp.
do not communicate these things to you
for any other purpose than that you may weigh
them and, without referring to any instructions
from me, adopt the measures necessary for ac-
complishing the foregoing objects.
Your afcctionate humble serv't.,

sit may be that Mr.. Brutus Clay's position
is an Improvement over that Of the late John j.

Kentucky politicians are Substituted, self-e-
masculated political eunuchs, whose aid is
negative quality, and therefore inutile. They are
in favor of the preservation of the Union, but
oppose the most vigorous and important meas
ures of the Administration to save it. Can fol-
