oThey DOME Care for me Bow :

A poor little negro boy named John
Alexander, camc to the Mayors Office
last night for lodging, The little fol-
low stated he had been taken from
his father and mother at New Orleans
by an officer Of the United States
army, and when the officer got to this
place, he left him without q cent,with
poor clothes, with nothing to cat an d
nowhere TO sleep. The little fellow
said in pitiful tone Of voice, "dey
liked us down dar, but day don't care
for us now" So it is, tho Abolition
lists howls for free suffrage and social
equality, but when it comes to real
acts of kindness and friendship, they
are the bittcrcst enemies of the Afri-
can.
We clip the above from the Harris
b%rg Patriot d Union, and reproduce
1t in our columns for the purpose of
alluding to a similar case in this sec
ton. Several years ago chaplain in
the army, accompanied by his wife,
happening to be at the city of New
Orleans, induced n colorcd girl there
to leave her home and accompany the
wife North. Through the persuasions
and promises made by This chaplain
that the girl should be sent home If
she at any time desiredit, the mother
Of the girl was induced to give her
consent, and she was brought to this
county. Shortly after her arrival here
the girl became afflicted with rheuma-
tism, and this precious pair of "hu-
manitarians" Immediately sent her to
the Poor house of the county, where
she has beer ever since. Although
this girl is anxious to return TO her
home and has made her wishes known
to the party, she has received no re-
sponsc, and IS entirely neglected by
them This poor girl has been brought
two thousand miles from home and left
to subsist on public charity-left to
suffer and perhaps to die amongst
strangers, without care or thought
from the humanitarian who brought
her away from her home and kindred,
And this man, forsooth, is q clergy.

all, the bill provides for standing

this army is to be to the country, ex-

FoRrREss MoEeoF, April l4.-Thc
visit of the representatives of the
Greble Lodge Of Odd Fellows, at this
place, to the Grand lodge Of Virginia,
in session at Richmond, Va, u few
days ago, affords n very noticeable IN
cident of the genuine good feeling and
the general desire of an approximation
towards better understanding be-
tween both sections of the country, so
long separated by internal dlsscnsion
and warfare, as at present existing
among the people Of Virginia. The
gentlemen comprising the delegation
who visited Richmond speaks very
highly of the cordial welcome extend
ed them by their brethren of the Old
Dominion. The GrcbIc Eedge ofOdd
Fellows, established here during the
war, was organized by persons at
tached in various capacities to the
Government departments olthe Point,
and was named after the lamentcd
Lieutenant Greblo, of Philadelphia,
who fell at Big Bethel 1t has since
become a largo and efficient body.
The warrant for its institution was
granted by the Grand Lodge of the
United States, but at the last session
of that lodgeit was recommended that
it bc turned over to the Jurisdiction Of
the Grand Lodge of Virginia. in consc-
qucnce Of its being within their terri
tory.
This transfer Of authority was con
summated this week, in a manner
which promises the happicst results,
and which leads to the belief that the
Grand Lodge Of Virginia, by their ac.
ton in the case, will be solely govern
ed in their deliberations by the high
principles on which the Order is found
