ONLY A NIGGER.-Lieut. Hunt of Utica (U
s. regular artillery recently fell overheard
from tug in the James River, and was drown
ed. His body not being recovered by the tug,
some relatives went downand dragged the river
for it in vain, being offered every facility by our
naval officers. Finally, they enqured along the
river bank and found two negroes who told them
of another negro who had buried the body Of
federal officer which he found on the river
bank. Proceeding to that negro hut, they met
his wife, who showed them the clothing spurs,
de-. of the buried officer, which they readily
recognized as Lieut.. Hunts. She also produced
and gave them $57 in cash with his wallet, which
her husband had taken before burying the BODY
deceutly shrOuded in coarse cloth, in the best
coffin he was able to make. In little while
the husband returned, and, before aiding them
to exhume the remains, produced $500 more
with certain important papers, which he had al
50 taken from the body, but which he had care
fully concealed even from his wife, because (he
said) the guerrillas often came there, and thew
might frighten her into giving up to them doc
uments and money they ought not TO have
All these were brOught'away with the body
Ofcourse the negro only proved shrewd, ,thought-
full, and strictfully honest; but there have been
instances of white men doing considerably
worse.

A SINGULAR INcIDENT.-Twenty wears ago
a gentleman of this city resolved to remove out
West, and started for his destination. In New
York he stopped at a second-class hotel. and
was there robbed of his purse, containing some
two thousand dollars in gold. In the course
of his peregrinations he was successful, and
had forgotten all about his loss having accum-
ulated handsome property. When the war
broke out he was TO old too enlist, but, feeling
patriotic, he offered his services TO Gen. Logan
and acted as quartermaster to brigade
One night on a march, the army arrived at a
small town in Southern Alabama, and, accord
ing to orders, he took possession of the inn for
general headquarters While talking with the
landlord, he discovered that he formerly kent
a hotel IN New York, and, upon pressing his
inquiries, found that he was the identical land
lord of the house in which he had been rob
bed. In the course of the evening he arranged
mock court-martial, and brought the landlord
before it, charging him, among other things.
with the robbery. Much to his surprise he
landlord confessed the robbery, he had his choice
to restore the money or die at sunrise. The
man received his principal, and all the interest
the landlord could afford topay, in gold. which
the gentleman invested in U. S. 7-3O notes.

him that they interpreted sympathy only in its
literal sense. He had claimed to sympathize
with them, and they intended to avail them
selves of his good will A string of wagons was
atonce trotted ON, driven to the sympathizer's
property, and in the same afternoon he was strip

cattle, sheep, hogs and smaller live stock, remov-

utterly empty. The cavalry horses were turn

sympathy he had manifested. Many like him

after brigade took it up and ere the notes of
the band ceased to reverberate, five thous-
and voices were raised in ''Praise God from
whom all blessings fow." A moment af-
ter all was still. Breakfast was taken; and
SO silently did the veterans of many battle
fields break camp d fall into line that every
