From the hchmo nd Examiner.
Several days since a very likely
slave woman Of Mr.. 7. B. Rees died,
and her funeral took place from the
African Church, attended by an i'm.
mense @conconlse Of colored people.
The master of the deceased caused 10
be provided a very handsome coffin,
Which was covered by bouquets and
flowers, and the cortege to the grave
was composed Of thitty-three hacks.
This was iD Richmond, the capital
Of the Southern Confederacy, and in
the tnidst OF the ''slaVe-driVing aris-
tocracy.n
In the "contrabahd pens" near
Washington, D. c., the capital of the
United Slate, and the seat ofthe great
"EmanGipationist party" dozen
wretcbed negroes die daily, and their
only attendants to the grave are two
living "contrabands," to carry the
rough board box, aud one with a
spade to dig the hole. How looks
the two pictures, and in which is the
most humanity exhibited

Pills, through aud by the advice of our friend,

provement in health and spirits When we
take into consideration what we have been,
and what we are at present. we feel like charg
