of somo fifty ladies there assembled.
Our boys received lots of boquets at
nearly every station on the route, and
nt some places with bread, cakes, Ac.,
enclosed. I never saw so much anxiety
exhibited about anything, as there is
everywhere, particularly by tho ladies
to do something serviceable or pleasing
to tlio Volunteers going to the seat of
war. The crops on tho line are lookiu,
only tolerable.
Tlio corn on an average is not moro
than say six inches high, and tho wheat
looks too much as (hough the land w
poor, yet there will probably lie moro
than a middling crop, but tlio clover is
luxuriant. Tho country seems to bo

Rich mon o, Vjy„ s Muy 20, 1801.
My Oli> Servant Jack:—J am now
in Virginia, a long way off from my
home and family, and ox poet in a day
or two to tako a part in tlio groat light
which is going on hero botivoon tlio
NortJi and South. Since I left home to
go to tlio war, my mind has been great
ly troubled for fear that somo of my
servants might bo lod astray by aboli
tionists, or other mean white mon, to
run away or do some other bad thing.
1 heard tho oilier day of a black man
in lvhigston, On., who was pursundod
to join In a plot to kill tho white peo
ple, nnd it turned out, ns it always does,
that lie was found out and hung. Now
1 feel it my duty, Jack, to warn you
against all peopio, whether white or
black, who will petsuado you to kill or
stoal, or go into any wicked plot of any
kind. No matter wliut promises they
hold out to you, do not believo thorn or
trust thorn. And let me tell fbu,
whether you bulievo it or not, that tlio
bout friends of tlio block people aro their
own mnsters, and tlioso who livo in tho
Slave States. Tlio people of the North
pretend that they want to make you
free, and somo of them may bo In ear
nest, but a greater portion of them re
ally core nothing about tho black peo
ple. For tlioy too once had negroes,
and instead of frooing them sent thorn
down South and sold them, and now
they try to ruin us and our property by
porsuudiug the servants to run away
from us, and do all sorts of mischief;
and they have stolon away a great many
servants from tho Southern people,
and when theso servants got to tho
North they are free only in namo, and
aro, really, a great many of them, poor
miserable, starving creatures. So you
see it is not tlio blacks that tlioy caro
for, but it is because they hate their
masters and want to annoy them, and
ii\iuro them every way they can, just in
tho same way that a bad man somo-
times falls out with his neighbor and
tries to fovongo hiuisclf by doghig bis
and crippling bis cattle. A man
onco bought a lino horso from a drover
in Kentucky, and that very night a
ickcd neighbor caato along and turn
ed him out tlio lot and ho ran away,
and ho never got him again. You can
easily understand llmt this bad man
lid not do this to free the hor?
dono it to spito bis neighbor, li
same way with tho Northorn people
about the blacks in this country
Now wo have been in a.quarrel with
theso Northern pooplo for about forty
about tho new lands way out
West. Theso lands belong to us us
molt as them, but they liuvo all tin
Iiilo been trying to keep us from go
ig tlicio with our servants; and when
Jucoln was elected ha said that tlio
Southern pooplo should never tako their
wants to this now country; Now
groat many of our folks had ulroady
bought land out tlioro, nnd wanted to
go there with their servants to liv
that when wo saw that this man
Lincoln nml tlio Northern people
determined not to"give us our share of
the land, wo at onco mado up our
minds to leuvo thorn, or secede from
thorn, and live to ourselves, and this is
what tho tight has commenced about.
They want to forco Us to live with them
becauso they want our money to help
pay the expenses of their government,
and they always managed whilo we stay
ed with them, to mako us pay tho big-
gostpart of their expenses,

to turn yoil fVeo, and indoed somo of
them have already been talking of di
viding out our lands and negroes
among their sold lets, and you nil know
what sort of Masters theso Yankees
make when they come to this country.
And, of ono thing, Jack, you may rest
assured tlmt you aro better off now
with your Southern Masters, than you
ever could bo with these people, even
if they wero to free you. Everybody
who has been to tho free States and
seen how tlio blacks nre treated there
knows this to be true. These poor
blacks nre called ffoo, but they aro
not trouted ns equids, nnd when they
get slok there is nobody to pay tholr
Doctors' bills, or to tako onro of (hem,
ns the servants of tlio South aro taknn
caro of, nnd whon they got old and
holpleis, no one provides for thorn.—
Well, Jack, I think I have said enough
to show your dangor in theso wnr times,
and 1 have no doubt you will stay at
homo, keep out of scrapes, and attend
to your businoss. If any of theso
scoundrols meddle with you, toll on
them, and let thorn bo hung by tho
neck as they deservo. And now Jack,
I have dono my duty in explaining tho
truth to you, and in warning you, If
you do not tako my advice, you will
suroly como to an awful end. You
may have this letter rend to your col
ored friends nml let them all tako war
ning. Tho war is raging around mo,
and it is probable I may never soo
my people again. We Imvo beat our
enemies in ever}* buttle thus far, and
God scorns to bo with us, hut many of
us will novor got homo again. Re
member my last words to you nro
theso: Don’t forget that your best
frlonds are the pooplo at the South,
mid if tho South fails iu this war, tho
slaves will bo tho greatest losers. Do
our duty to tho family nnd children,
and bo a faithful servaut to your Mis
tress and help her to take cane of my
littlo children. Farewell to you and
all niy other servants, and If wo meet
no more hero, I hope to meet you all
in a better world. Your Master,

A gentleman, now in Petersburg,
dined with Mr. Jackson at tlio Marshall
I louse, last Tuesday this day one week
ago, and, among other topios of discus-
sum introduced at the dinner table, was
tho Secession flag. Mr. Jackson re
marked during tho conversation, that
ho did not desire tho blood or any hu
man being on his hands, but ho had
detcoinined to kill the man that dared
to romovc that flag. Ho had beared of
the objoctioii to it in Washington, but
said he, tlio individual that attempts to
rotnove it, will do so at his peril,
Whether it bo Winfield Scott, Abraham
Lincoln, or Himon Carmeron, I will
kill him tho moment ho lays violent
hands upon it. He kept his word.
A gentleman who arrived in Rich
mond last ovouing reports as follows:
Ellsworth ascended to tho roof of the
Marshall Uouso nml sooured tho flag.
Coming down with tho flag wrapped
around him, ho mot Mr. Jackson, whon
Ellsworth romarkod, “Hefo I havo got
a prizo.” Jackson replied, “Yes, and
here is another,” at the same time lov-
oiling Ids doublo-barrollod shot-gun and
shooting Ellsworth dead on tho spot.
Jack son was speedily murdered by
tlio JJouaves. Tho shot tlwfr killed hhu

Mrs. Jackson and hor sister, as we are
informed, took possession of tho flag.
