EXODUS OF CoNTRABANDs.-Capt. w. w.
Howe, who as a staff officer shared the march
from Grand. Gulf to vicksburg, in recent
lecture at Clinton, N. Y, said:
l will not say how many contrabands we
met on the road from Grand Gulf to Ray
mond-perhaps 10,000-ofall ages, shades, and
sexes-on foot, on horseback, on muleback, in
wagons, in oxcarts. Il was a new exodus, ex-
cept that the Egyptians were not pursuing,
but were discreetly running in an opposite d.
rection.
'Where are you going?" was our usual
question to these sable squads.
"Gwine to the Gulf" was the invariable
answer.
To Grand Gulf they were going; the men
to enlist, the women TO work, the children to
tumble in the sun and make the most deli
cious mud pies on the leyee.
The black babies were carried in curious
ways. One old patriarch, noticed, had pick
ed up pair of soldiers drawers, tied up the
bottoms OF the legs, put baby in each, and
slung the whole contrivance about his neck.
Ii was impossible not to be touched by the
sight of such multitude of human beings
struggling through dust and danger towards
freedom, as plants in cellar towards the
light. Some OF them sung song of sacred
monotone, as If their pilgrimage was solemn
business. Others of more jolly temperament
were shouting the song of "Old Shady"-the
old darkey who at last has chance to run
away aud join his family at the North:
i've got wife aud I've got baby,
Way up north in Lower Canady
Won't they smile when they see Old Shady
Coming, coming
Hail, mighty day.
'.Good-bye, Massa JEFF, goodbye Massa stephen,
Excuse this darkey for takin his eayn;
Guess bye and bye you'll see Old Ably
Coming coming
Hail, mighty dayv'

X. s. STEvENs-Sir;-We have used in our family
for the last five years of your Patent Galvanized
Ovens, and would most cheerfuy recommend it to
the public Mrs. W says il would be almost the last
article OF furniture in the house that she should part
with. She considers il as great an improvement in
baking and roasting the cook stove the cook
stove is over the old-fashioned way with the open
fire for cooking II great deal of fuel aud is
great comfort in warm weather, as it heats the
room so little.
1t seems to me that when its merits fully known
