EprToR RUTLAND HERALD - Some
months ago, gentleman with whom
am we'll acquainted, and who related to me
the facts, had negro woman, that he re-
ceived as part of his wife's patrlmony.
AS he did not need her, and could not
free her, he directed her to try and fnd
place where she would like to live, and, at
ter suitable time, he would sell her,
Some of the conditions of sale would be,
that the girl should not be sold to 60 more
than four miles from her old master, or
from her husband, and that in no case was
she to be sent south. A man OF the right
kind, as was supposed, finally bought her;
hut. IN few weeks afterwards, sold her
to a dealer in stock of all kinds--not ex-
actlv negro trader, technically so called
but man who remained at home ana
bought and sold everything. The frst
owner at once demonstrated, and the new
purchaser promised to sell the woman
back to him for the same price that he
gave; but he very soon had chance to
sell her at an advance to go south, which
he did, and the girl was taken to vlcks-
burg. This was the last that was heard
from her, till day before Yesterday, when
she made her appearance in this CITY once
more, q free pomaa, by virtue OF the pro-
clamation. So you see that the Presl-
dents proclamation has done little good,
though 1t is highly probable these rascally
slave brokers don't see it," 1t is easy
to see also that the same measure VII
have an important bearing upon thu
whole business of negro trading. In rae
the occupation is gone. What magnltl

EDITOR RUTLAND HERALD The fol-
lowing oolloquy was related to me by
member of the 10th Kentucky infantry,
who said he heard it, and that it occurred
between Union man and rebel soldier,
after the fight at Richmond, Ky.
Rebel--0Do you know where John
Morgan is now ~
Union man-"They say he went into
Cincinnati last Sunday"
R..-"Do you think it is true ~
U.-aYes, and he went in without fir
ing gun and was received with great
enthusiasm"
R.-sIBut where was Burnside 2"
U.-"He was round there somewhere"
R.-"Didn't he offer any resistance 2"

R.-"Does Morgan still occupy the
city ~.
U.--"A certain part OF It,"
R.-"What part 2"

R.-"Yo on are a - liar !"
Rebel then turned without unnecessary
delay, on the place where there ought to
have been a heel-tap, and 'marched
along,n while certain muscles about the
Union mans mouth and series OF eX-
plosive tones sent upwards from the alb
dominal regions, indicated that he was in
