MEETING ESTE&onDENARy.-rUron the testirno-
ny Of an old CITIZEN who was present, we have 20
report the proceedings of a every extraO sdiaagy
meeting of negroes, which, took place on Sun
day, near this city in the direction ofDog River.
Nine hundred Of them assembled to consider
tteir condition, their rights and duties underthe
new state of existence upon which they have
been SO suddenly launched. Our informant vas
surprised at the lard, praetical sense and mode
ration of tone with which the spekesmen of the
meeting urged their views. After long and care
full deliberations, meeting resolved By vote OF
seven hundred EeicesSto TO two hGnired, that they
had made practical tritlfof three months Of
the freedom which the war had bequeathed to
theul-that It's realities were far from being SO
fattcring as their Imagination had painted IT.
that they had discovered that the prejudiccs Of
color were by no means confined to the people
of the South; but on the contrary, it was strong
er o I'd more marked against them in the Stran:
gers from the Norsil, than il the home people Of
the South, among whom they had been reaFecs@
that negroes: no more than white men, could
live without work, er.bc comfortable without
homes; that their Northern deliverers, from bon
dage had not, as they had expected, and been
taugntto expect, undertaken TO provide for the
happy existence in their new state of freedom
and that tFleirsold masters bad ceased 20 tske
any interest in them, or have caro- for theD
and iIls lly, that their last state was worse than
the first" and it vas their deliberate conclusion
s.,lat their true happiness aud welfare required
them to return to the homes which they haG
abandoned in moment Of excitement, and go 70
Mork again undcr their old,masters. And so the.
resultarions were passed: and at last accounts
the wanderers we're packing up their little stock
of movable goods, preparatory to the execution
sof their sensible purposes.

The next question suggested by the eSeats OF

the terms and disposition which the people OF toe
