ARRIVAL OF WoNks AED CHILDREN FROM IN

We understand that there are now at Naphyilla
hfteen hundred women and children, who are in a
very destitute condition, and who are 20 be sent to
this place to be sent North. A number Of them
were engaged In the manufactures at Sweet Wa
ter at the time that place was captured by our
forces. These people are mostly In a destitute
oondition, having no means to provide for tbom-
selves q support. Why they should be sent here to
be transferred North Is more than We can UNDER

i We further lesrn by the same paper that when
these wumenl aud children arrived at Louisville
liz ey were detained here, advertised to be hired
out as servants TO take the place OF the large
Dor negroes who have been liberated by the mill
itary authorities, and arc now gathered 10 large
camps throughout Kentucky, where they are fed

Built upon the idea Of the unjust
ness or the war for the Union
claiming that the war is unjust and
nuholy--that it Is an invasion of the

refusing to give the Government
means TO carry it on, it is now lay.

claim that as an army officer he was
bound to obey his Government
Mcclellan was volunteer, and rs he
hns not resigned it must hs taken for
granted that lie Is still willing to
ser,o.
The Union Of Copperheadism and
McClellanism puts that gentleman in
about this fix:
Being Copperhcad he is opposed
to the war, and believes the rebels to
be in the right. Opposed to the war
he still accepts n commission aud
fights against the South.
1T cannot be said of him, as it has
been said Of other disaraced incom-
petents, that he was once in favor OF
the war and nowiopposes it, only be
cause of the policy OF the Adminis
tration on the slavery question, for
these tive reasons:

ways opposed the war.

when that policy was announced, but
is still an officer in the service.

Narrative OF col. sire,shrs Escape.

Narfntive OF Col. Streights Escnpc'
Colonel Streight of the 51st Indi-
ana, accompanied by Major Nc Don
aid of the l0l Ohio, Capt. Scarce OF
the 9th Indiana. and Lieut.. Sterling
of the Both Indiana, arrived here this
morning. From their statements of
their escape from Libby Prison, the
following is condensed. These four
have been together ever since they
escaped, but they did not leave Rich
mond Immediately, not being in Il
condition to travel. After recupera-
ting, they started from that city, and
took northeast direction, travelling
together at night, and laying by in
swamps and thickest ofwoods during
the day, the north star serving as a
guide. At some of the rivers they
found boats in which they crossed,
and at others they made RATS, on
which they pelcd themselves over =
AS they passed along they always
kept out of sight of roads and houses.
They were aided by slaves, some
whom seemed to comprehend instinct
lively who they were. Several times
on the road they came near being ia
ken, and when near Rappahannock,
river, they had quite lively time OF
it. 1t appears that a company ofreb-
ell cavalry in the vicinity had been
stealing fodder from n stack, the own
er of which set slaves to guard it,
Col. $. and party, not knowing this
lact, went to the stack to get fodder
to make bed, and were discovered
by the negro, who gave the alarm
and rs soon rs day broke, the whole
country was aroused, and the party
were hunted by cavalry, militia and
slaves with dogs, but fortunately they
were in q country abounding in
swamps and hills, over and through
which they were chased unsuccessful
lv. The dogs could not track them
through the water of the swamps, and
the briers were so thick, rs Colonel
$. says, that even il the dogs had es-
sayed to follow them their hides would
have been scratched Off After be
ing hunted nearly the entire day, their
pulsuers gave up the chase or got on
tiIv Oi's e'aUh, uuu uue rJut uVu,
back into the country. where they
found boat five miles from the riv-
er, which they took, and making their
way down, crossed the river. Here
they resumed their travels, and reach
ed the Potomac on Wednesday night
and there were some fifteen or eight
cen rebel soldiers in the vicinity, who
very nearly captured them rs they
were attempting to cross the river
On the following night these soldiers
guarded the river, and the attempt
was renewed, but OH Saturday the
prisoners made their way up the
country, and crossed to Blackstone 8
Island, whence OH Sunday morning
they hailed the steamer Ella, having
on board Col. Parker. and under the
command of Acting Master McCon-
mel, by whom they were taken on
board and handsomely entertained.
They reached here about 10 o'clock
this morning.
For prudential reasons they do not
give the details of their escape, fear
ing that publication may injure
some of teeir friends. They relate
enough, however, to satisfy any one,
that even in Richmond, there are ma
ny good Union people.
They were II entire days in getting
from Richmo ond TO the Potomac.

Blacks.
From the Tribune Special Wash
ington dispatch of yesterday, con.
tanning an account Of the escape of
our Richmond prisoners, we take the
following:
"Some of Capt. Phclps's party and
others were pursued and fired upon.
All of them kept out OF the sight of
whites, but trusted implicitly the
blacks, and never had their trust be-
trayed. After the first officers had
discovered themselves to the negroes
and oql-ni f~.. . '''''''.,''
my, the negroes organized into relief
squalls and searched the woods for
the fugitives, carrying them food from
their scanty rations, and helping them
in every way in their power"
When shall we Justly recognize the
sublime heroism and generous deyo-
tioe which this dcspised black race
exhibits in this War? We ask the
advocates of "the Union IA it was"
to say what they would have done
with these negroes. Your theory
sends them back to Slavery, and sub
jccts them to the vengeance of Rebel
masters. Dare you say you would
do il?
