The NEGRO EXODUS. Gen. Conway, who
has been at st. Louis for several days to as-
certain the condition and needs of the refu-
gees from the South, and report to the peo-
pie of the East how they may be wisely help
ed, says the exodus is only in it's inception,
and if ii were not for the terrorism exercised
over the negroes by the planters and mer-
chants along the Mississippi river, to keep
them from leaving, there would have been
10000 refugees in the West now. He thinks,
however, that this terror will wear out after a
short time. Many more would have left but
for the fact that the steamboat men refused
them transportation, under threats of the
merchants, planters and others that they
would withdraw their patronage if they con-
tinued to take the emigrants away. He thinks
the negroes in the South ought to leave, but
advises them not to do so until provision is
made for them in the North and West. He
has already received offers of employment on
farms in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Western
Pennsylvania for thousands, and in Indiana
alone he says homes and good wages can be
found for 5000 in twenty days
George T. Downing, a colored man, has
published a letter TO Frederick Douglas, in
which he says the negroes are now emigrat-
ing from the South for the same reason that
Mr.. Douglas did-to escape the horrible bru-
tality to which they are subjected.
