Pg-In his late War Olllcc Report
Secretary Stanton stated that $4,000
negro troops are now in the field. Itl
is likewise asserted that large num-
bers Of North Caroliniaus Tennessee.

listing in the Federal armies. If this
Is trua, 1t will bc apt to reduce the.
3000,000 men, required by the Presi-
dents last call Those who have
expressed such holy horror Of enlist
ing negroes, may perhaps derive Sc
Icret satisfaction from the fact that
the $4,000 negro troops release just
1000 white men from military SER
vice.
.-trom accounts given bv refugees
from Richmond, it is evident that Jefi.
Davis throne is resting on u volcano
that may at any moment burst sforth
'and engulph him. They state that
that the Unionmcn of Richmond were
aware of the plan Of escape recently
formed Ivy our prisoners, and that
they would have been joined and arm
ed by those Unionists. Besides all
that, the Richmond papers are not at
all modest in their dcnunciations of
IJclr "a Dictator, and of his plans
for sweeping the whole Southern pop
ulation into his army. This is Davis
derncr resort, his last hope. But he
cannot push the measure upon his
people without cvoking elements of
opposition that may speedily dcthrone
, him and his dynasty of treason.
