How the Negroa. behave,

Tne conduct of the negroes, since the day
on which they believe they received thcil
freedom, has generally been good. In some
instances, however, they have sunk down
into Incidence; in others, they have become
very impudent to white peopls, especially
those whom thsy know to be rebels; and in
others, they have gone to work very indus.
triously at stealing. That however, is an
accomplishment which they possessed while
slaves. The mere fact Of being free will not
at once change the nature Of man. He that
was lazy viii be lazy still; he that stole be
fore will probably steel tho more now; while
he that was industrious as slave will be
more industrious as free man.
"Massa," said an old woman to the writer
the other day, "Massa, have had twenty
children My Missus sole'em all off; one of
my gals was sole to buy young missus her

Last Sunday in one of the colored church
IS in Norfolk, the preacher took for his text,
Stand fast, therefore, in TIE Liberty where
with Christ has made you free, "and with
great ingenuity, and without irreverence the
preacher showed how President Lincoln, in
ernancipating them, had stood IN Christ's
stead to them. and how it was now their du-
~ to stand fast and fight for Liberty which
he, under God, had given them. And from
this whole congregation there rose cry, as
II with one voice "Amen glory be to God |

FROM RICHMOND.
PRICES THERE.


We had visit this morning from agsn-
tleman who left Richmond last week, and
who has been there and in the neighbor
hood during the war. 1t cost about s, 1000
(U. s. money! to secure safe exit for him
self and wife, whom he married year since,
and for some of the money brought across
the lines, he paid nine dollars of Confeder-
ate for one of United States money, and for
the lowest he gave, long since, three dollars
for one. Our informant had on pair OF
boots which cost him Sl75, and plain suit
of clothes which cost $3.50 Recently he
had seen common calico sold for $3.50 q
yard, ladies' CATERS S75 pair, coffee sc =
pound and other things in proportion.
THE TROOPS FOR TENNEssEE.
Our informant saw the reinforcements
which left Richmond for Bragg, and judged
them to be nearly 10000. Many Of them
were nearly barefooted, their clothes IN
sad condition, but the troops were plucky
and in good spirits. Many Of the men have
got used to the despotism, but some in and
out Of service denounce it heartily.
The German population chafe under the
burdens, and but for the property they have
there would leave at once. Property, in
deed, is one of the strong elements Of pewer
at the South. This, however, is rapidly
dwindling away, as multitudes have TO sell
all they own to get bare subsistence from
day to day.
Every day or two by hook or by crook
some Of the disaffected in Richmond by skill,
cunning, money and spirit of manly deter
mination escape from the city. Running
the blockade, and how TO do it, arc well TN
derstood on tho lines, and both sides profit
by the many who pass to and fro.-N T.
