LIVING in certain town in Virginia
are negro man and woman, both of
whom declare that they are still slaves,
and that they have never been and never
can be set free until their masters are
paid for them, or set them free of their
own accord. Both are excellent servants,
very industrious, and seldom seen on the
street. By others of their own color they
are CONTEMPORARY called "secesh mig
gers" They do not mind this, but per-
sist in telling their black acquaintance
that not one of them are free, but that
all of them have been stolen by the
Yankees. These determined slaves are
not connected with each other by blood
or marriage, and formed common epin-
ion in regard to their status when they
were hundreds of miles apart
