black fellows, who wanted g emlsfale

said ihey represented 100 slaves, the

owned these cultivated fields for miles.
They wauted 70 ger their children

place they had been assured Uncle

wagons being toll, We could accom-

vas preferable to being slaves so
they determined to come along any
way. A.son, mile flrthvFs We came
TO The mansion Of this rich slave lord,
Mr.. Scott. A broad avenue, lined
wnh broad-spieading magnolias in iull
bloom, led up 10 the house, which was
tie usual style Of Southern plantation
houses. On one side Of his house and
10 the rear, stood a very neat and tidy
little slave hat. Everything was
clean about. The little yard neatly
trimmed aud swept, the door step
scrubbed to an astonishing degree OF
whiteness, every thing, in fact, denol-

Around The door weret three women
and about half dozen children, from
the wee baby TO the young girl Of 10
or l6. Two Of The women were
about a shade lighter than the squad
room. While all the children were
white. The third woman was appar-
emily pure white; her eyes were blue,
her hair was brown and straight; her
features were entirely American =
nothing to denote particle Of negro
blood. In her arms she had beautl-
full little boy, about four years old,
with fair hair and blue eyes. This
woman was crying bitterly when we
rode up. Thinking that she was a
member Of the family, We tried 10
console her by assuring her that the
Yankees made war upon men and moi
upon women. Can you imagine how
shocked we were when we were told
that this white woman and child. were
slaves, and that the degraded mother
was weeping for shame at her degre-
da;ion? Lieut.. Wren, Quariermaster
of the 6lst New York, was so excited
that he bolted into the house, and his
sword ratified and his spurs jingled

this woman il she was the daughter

said she was. We went into the hut,
and upon clean bed there sat this
