Toombs and Newspaper Correspondents.

The Mobile Register states the follow
ing incident of Robert Toombs, which
occurred while he was rebel Secretary OF
State at Montgomery " Mr.. Toombs had
been much annoyed at certain news
paper correspondent, who invariably
found out all the secrets and published
them. A case of this kind had just came
up, and the aforesaid - was in Mr.
Toombs office, when the late Governor
Roman came in, on his way to Washing
ton, as one of the Confederate Commis-
sioners Mr.. Toombs at once pro-
eeeded to give him the state in
structions Governor Roman looked
nervously toward -, who sat reading
q newspaper, apparently, but hearing
every word. Finally he stopped the
Secretary, and asked him direct if they
had better not continue when alone.
No said Mr.. Toombs, i know who is
present. and he continued the instruc-
tions. The commissioners went on TO
Washington, and, contrary to the ex-
pectations of Governor Roman, nothing
vas said about it in the papers. One
day the Secretary was asked why he
gave suCu ihipoil ilaht ocSiSAS ~ ~
was known to publish everything he
heard. Because, said Mr.. Toombs, l
knew the man. By giving him the
whole, in confidence, ] knew he was
too honorable to betray it, and if had
not he would surely have found it out
and published it. The same correspond
INT was shortly after summoned to ap-
pear before the cabinet for having pub
iished Beauregard's orders 10 open fire
OH Fort Sumter, 80 it appeared two
hours before Beauregsrd received 1t him
self, the cabinet believing that one of
their own number had sold the secret.
Nothing was ascertsined, however and
each seemed to suspect the other; but in
reality none were at fault A piece of
blotting paper had revealed the secret,
and industry was at the bottom of it.

How the Negroes are Dying off.

Senator Doolittle made speech at
New Haven the other day, and after
showing that the representation from the
South could not be changed for six years
aud then only could the South get any
increase Of representation, adds:
But will she get it then2 What are
the facts? Do you not know that the
colored population has perished by thou
sands and hundreds of thousands during
the war; We have no accurate data
upon which TO state the precise number
that have persisted, but the highest Off
GERS in our army state unqualifedly that
ia their opinion at least one million
have persisted Governor Aiken, OF
South Carolina, who has been a
Union man, and was one of the largest
Shareholders of the South, owning
at one time over eight hundred slaves,
himself stated TO me in Washington the
other day, unqualifedly, that at least a
million had perished, and, in his opinion,
q great many more; also, the Hon. Ran.
dali Hunt, of the city of New Orleans,
states the same opinion and Captain
Haines, fthe Union army of Louisiana,
who has lived always at the South, states
his opinion that at least a million have
persisted, and these gentlemen tell you
the reason on which they found this
opinion. Some, of course, have persisted
in battle; perhaps fifty thousand have
perished in battle or Of their wounds,
but that has not been the principal source
of their destruction. Smallpox and
other terrible diseases that follow the
march Of armies have prevailed among
them to a terrible extent, all the
way from the Rappahannoek TO the Rio
Grande The smallpox has swept them
away in camp and on plantations, and
everywhere by thousands upon thousands
