who advised him to flee, as there was to
be an uprising of the rebels, and his life
might be in danger. Out of respect to the
Catholic religion he had called to give him
timely warning. "The wagon which you

the fellow, contained guns and ammuni.

Peale's great painting of Washington
before Yorktown can be obtained for the
Metropolitan Fair for $4,000, and a COM
mittee has been appointed to receive con-
tributions to fund for its purchase. Sub.
scriptions will be received and acknowl-
edged and communications answered by
the secretary of the committee, DR.. John
H Griseom, No. Al East 29th street.
This picture represents Washington
mounted and accompanied by Generals
Lafayette, Hamilton, Knox, Lincoln and
Rochambeau, in the act of giving orders
to commence the intrenchments before
Yorktown. The painting was executed at
the suggestion of Hon. Henry Clay, and
the subject was selected by the artist as
the concluding act Of the great drama of
the Revolution. The particular design of
the painting is to commemorate General
Washington's decision of character, as H.
Illustrated by the following incident, related
to the artist by Col Forest, of German
town, who was present on the occasion:
Washington, with his generals, having sur
veyed the ground, and decided on the spot,
rode TO his tent, took hasty meal, remounted
with his staff and rode back to the ground,
where he found nothing DONE In voice un-
usually loud he called to Col. Herman. chief
engineer, who rode up to him, startled and
pale. Sir" said Washington, Ibid not Or

the living God. sir, if they are not begun in
ten minutes, shall know the reason why!"
In ten minutes there were two hundred men

or about the first of October next. He
stated his reasons for desiring to 20, in
such strong terms, that it was unanimous
~ voted to grant him the leave of absence
for which he asked, and a resolution was
also adopted expressing the entire SYM
pathy of the congregation with DR.. Bel
lows in the noble objects which he aims to
accomplish by his long journey to the Pa
cific coast. These objects may be briefly
stated as the promotion of liberal Chris
tianity, and the interests of that immense
ly important organization. 1t seems that
California has contributed, in all, nearly
million dollars to the funds of this associa-
ton, and that the earnest and eloquent
labors of T. Starr King have all been re-
cognized as the grand motive power for
the accomplishment of this magnificent re-
suit. But the grand motive power has
suddenly ceased to act, and that sublime

1t is understood that lie will be back here
in eight days to take command of the Ar

of programme will give Gen. Halleck the
command Of Department somewhere
west of here. In variation of the above.
it is stated that Grant will, on his return
here, reorganize the Army of the Poto-

Negro Troops Captured by the Rebels.

From the Richmond Examiner March S.
Yesterday the first vertable negro
prisoners of war were received at the
Libby. They were genuine, sure, men,
bers of the original Corps d. Atrique,
ranging in color from gingerbread brown
to tobacco black, greasy and loud smelling,
encased in blue uniforms, close buttoned
up to the chin. They were captured on
the I'd inst, within a few miles of
Williamsburg, with arms in the their
hands, having been pushed forward by
Massa Butler, with a negro command on
foraging expedition. There names and
military connection were recorded as fol
tows:-James W. Corn and p. F. Lewis.
Fifth United States Volunteers; R. P.
Armistead and John Thomas, Sixth United
States Volunteers. As they claimed to
be Buffers pets," and it being under
stood that great affection and fondness
for each other existed between them and
the officers captured from the recent
sackirg and plundering expedition. Major
Turner very considerably ordered that
they be placed in the cells occupied bv
their white companions. We are Glad
that our officials are inclined to carry ont
Greeley's idea of the amalgamation Of the
races, so far as it affects the Yankee pris-
oners in our care. 1t will result in mn.
tual good. The only party likely to be
seriously affected, either in status or NOR
ais, is the negro. The Yankee cannot be
degraded lower-the negro probably can.
