NEGROES CAPTURED rRON YANKEE RAIDERS.
We regret 10 learn that many Of the negroes
taken from the kautz and Wilson raiders have
not been returned 20 their owners nor have they
been advertised, SO that their owners can learn
their whereabouts. Every man and officer who
has recovered n stolen slave ought, as soon as
practicable, to advertise him or her The law
requires tlisi and besides, it is the plain dictate
OF Justice and patriotism. The crops OF many
fertile plantations will be lost to the country by
the absence OF negroes, carried OF at q most i'm
portant season OF the year.
Many unprinciplCd persons who have taken MP
negroes dropped by the raiders have put them %
work on their own estates, or are holding them
until large rewards shall be offered for them. A
squad of thiIty-siN negroes, rCCapturCd from the
raiders at Stony Crock, were sent 10 Raleigh and
thence 20 Wilmington, where they were put TO
work on the fortihcatons, aud il is said that
General Whiting refused TO give them up upon
the ground that they were needed for the public
defense. The negroes have never been adj

We do not see by what right the negroes of
Virginia planters are seized and retained 10 work
upon iortihcations in North Carolina. Virginia
has never drawn any negroes from North Caro-
lima for such purpose, and Carolina has quite as
many slaves in proportion to her lines Of defense
as Virginia, and if General Whiting wants labor
he should draw It from the State IN which be is

NoSoCACY PRISONERS EXPECTED IN RICHMOND.
No prisoners were received at either the Libby

| CONFIRMATION OF THE REPORTED ARRIVAL or
BRAGG AT ATLANTA.
| A correspondent writes from Atlanta -
The most interesting and perhaps significant

men--perbaps Of his own personal staf-in a car
riage, going out to General JohnslOn's headquar-
tiers.
The enemy seems to be painfully quiet while
the situation on this side Of the river is un-
changed. We are watching the Yankees with
ceaselcss vigilance. Occasionally the pickets
and light batteries on the lanks exchange shots,
as If 70 remind beth parties that hostilties have
not been suspended,

and dovelike Civility of the Yankees for the past

Atlanta is no longer crowded with one-third of
