The Lee Homestead, opposite Wash.


Many persons who have visited the vicin
ty of Washington will rem smber the for
mer beauty of the White House, on the
flights. A correspondent speaks of 1t now
as follows:
The home of the Lees at Arlington is de-
scribed as a sad sight to behold Just now
1t is no longer the the temple of chivalry
iberality, aud urbanity. Its portals are no
longer flung wide open from its capacious
ehaste and beautiful portico. The windows
which overlook the semi-circular lawn,
fTinged with dsrk-dy ed trees. and sloping
down towards the glittering Potomac, are
shattered, and the birds which have built
their nests upon the cornices wing their way
and twitter through the deserted corrid ore.
No flag streams from the lofty staff, rear
ing itself so grandly from the midst of the
full grown swsrd, and almost confronting
the Washington monument. portent-
GUS stiffness seems to droop around, as
though in every tree there was a still
small voice, which could not be distinctly
heard, and as though the imagined murmu r
of the distant river meant something more
than it could say. This house and these
grounds will soon have become converted to
far different uses to those for which their late
proprietor, the Rebel General Lee, intended
them. The interior of the mansion is to be
remodelied 30 as to correspond in its pur-
poses with the cemetery which will surround
IL, and some Of the estate is already occu-
pied as battle-ground, known as the Ma
tional Cemetery.

/. 1t is known that m any slaves in Ken
lucky have left their owners without iuten-
ding to enter the service of the United
States, and that they have resorted to the
towns, or rowing about the country. In ell
such cases it is only necessary for the own
ers of such refugees to report to the Provost
Marshal, and make known their wish for
their slaves to be placed in the service, and
it will be the duty of the Provost Marsha Is
to arrest such refugees and deliver them for
en- listment. The commander of the Dis :
trict of Kentucky will give such further d.
rections as may be necessary to carry out
the provisions of this order.
II. Information has been received that
persons are 10 the habit of coming into
Ken lucky with a view of persuading slaves
to run away and pass into the free States
bordering on the Ohio, where they are on
listed for their bounties-the negroes re-
ceiving but small portion thereof. In such
cases the State of Kentucky fails to receive
credit on their quota of troops. The mill
tary authorities, as we'll as all Provost M ar
shsls, in the State are ordered, and the navy
on the Ohio river are requested to take pos
session of all such negroes and deliver th EN-
to the nearest military conn ander, in order
that they may be enlisted in Kentucky reg
iments.

Horrible Cruelty to Negro.

1t is only those who thoroughly under
stand the negro character, physical and
mental, who really know what is cruelty to
a negro. The following shows how Massa-
chusetts officers treat negroes in Louisiana

account of he treatment of negro by Lit
Gilman, of the Fifth Mas sachusetts Cavalry
1t appears that he had the poor fellow t: ed
to pole by his TWO thumbs, his legs vainl y
endesvoring to touch the ground. The
scene is described as follows, by an eye wit
ness:
"The new sea-grass Irvine clesved to his

with razor sharpness. The pain becoming

himself; his mouth became opened; his eye

A horrible pain it was, for his own leaden
weight seemed to be against his having any
relief. He could no longer support him
self, and falling unconscious to the ground
HE LEFT HIS FLESH CLEANING TO THE NEW

The cause of this inf1iction of the above
cruelty was, that the negro hid himself and
could not be found when wanted to go or
duty. Now this is, perhaps, the most com
