Jones, whose order. cleanliness, and that
sort of thing, tells of changing boarding house
for the worse, and being placed at table els a.
uis with an animal of the Johnsonian stamp,
intellectually above additions as far as the
hands we're concerned. Being called upon for
blessing one day, he crossed his hands before
him, smphatically gazed across the table, and
said: lord, give US clean hands and pure
hearts; for the. rest, as Thou deemest best.
Amen"

The Negroes at Harrisburg.

Those who like good story will enjoy the
way In which the Providence Journal puts the
case of the negro soldiers at the capital of the
Keystone State:
Our cider readers have all heard the story of
Sammy Usher, who fell off the dock at Bristol,
and was fshed out by the man whom Of ali
others he disliked. Sammy was fast sinking
and his cries, growing fainter and fainter, had
fortunately reached the car of Parker Borden.
who generously jumped In and fshed up the
drowning man, Just In time to save his life.
Sammy shook the water from him, and turned
TO thank his deliYerer, when he saw In the un-
certain light that 1t was no other than his an
cicnt foe. The gratitude depicted in his face
changed at once to indignation and disgust.
" What sort Of place Is this town Of Bristol -
said he, that when gentleman falls into the
dock there Is nobody but Parker Borden TO
help him OUT
''Our colored brethren" seemed to have met
with similar reception at Harrisburg. The
State was invaded; the capital was in danger;
urgent appeals for immediate aid were sent
forth; New York and New Jersey we're appealed
to- preparations were made to remove the pub
lie archives and valuable private property to a
place of safety. Among the first TO respond
70 the call Of help was company Of negroes.
They had much less at stake than the white
mem most of them could probably have trans
ferred their chief worldly effects, those who
had any, except what was on their backs,
into postal currency in fifteen minutes, and
could have gone to a place of safety
with no damage to their future prospects,.
Nor had the State an equal claim upon
them she had never treated them as clti-
leus, nor accorded to them the rights of
citizens, nor demanded Of them all the
duties Of citizens they belonged To desplsed
race. Yet they were among the frat to hasten
to the threatened point. And how were they
received They were told that they could not
be permitted to fight for the safety OF the State,
unless they would agree to very different con
ditions from those imposed upon the white men
who were following them at comparative lei
sure. The Harrisburg Sammy Ushers were
not going to be pulled out of tho water by any
Parker BOrdens.
We do not know who was to blame for this;
we do not know what absurd regulation pre-
vented anybody or anything from aiding In the
great emergency that called for every effort to
save the State from invasion. Fortunately the
order was cOuntermanded by authority from
Washington, and the stout arms of the black
volunteers were accepted in spite Of their color.

Union Families in Distress at

New YORK, June 2G-Newbern advices to
the 22d instant have been received. They state
that deserters from Wilmington report that two
iron-clads, with 6ve inches plating on eighteen
inches Of wood, mounting heavy guns, are
about ready to make a raid upon the blockadng
squadron. They are about the size Of the first
Merrimac, lie very deep in the water, and are
only able to make about three miles an hour.
Wilmington is very strongly fortified, and a
small force can hold it against great odds.
Officers there are in favor of a bitter prosecu-
tion of the war, while.the men, who desire the
capture Of the city by the Yankees, entertain
nothing but a mutinous regard for the rebel
ContederaCy.
In the vicinity of Wilmington near the bor-
derS of South Carolina, large numbers of de-
serters and conscripts are intrenched and sue
cessfully resisting the rebel authority, having
had three engagements already.
The rebel Secretary of War has ordered all
the North Carolina troops into other States for
Immediate service, on account OF the growing
dlssatisfaction among them. Georgia and South
Carolina troops are tc take their places In this
State.
The women and children on Cape Hatteras
Bank, numbering some l,5OO, are in a very
destitute condition, and are threatened with
starvation.
Every man and boy there capable of bearing
arms is voluntarily doing military duty in de-
fence Of the Union. Aid for their families is
hoped for from the North.
The foriGcationS of this Department are up
lug made impregnable.
