Helena, Jan. 18,1863. * ♦
Since flic first of January the children
of Ham arc having a hard time of it.—
They are free, with no one to care for:
them, nothing to live on half clothed
and worse fed. God only knows what
will become of the poor creatures.
Col. Bussey, post commandant, is a
true gentleman, and well liked.—
Prompt courteous and business like; he
is a good man for Jhe "position. Every
day negroes are coming into the camp
with their little bundles, claiming pro
tection and food. Thursday afternoon
the follow ing actual event took place
J. B. Pillow, broihei- of the’robel Gen
era 1 , who has a beautiful plantation a few
miles from Helena,
half a million of dollars previous to the
war, came through the lines with 183
negroes, of both sexes and a’l _ages.—
At the head of his servants, who follow
ed in single file, he walked to the Colo'
nel’s headquarters,"where the following
conversation taok place:
Good morning sir.
‘Good morning sir.’
Where is the commandant of tile I
. post?
Before yon, sir.
Well, Colon.-l, here is my small
charge, in the shape of American citi
zens of African descent which J deliver
over to you. Here is a correct list ol
their names, ages sexes and occupations
Please' send them on to the President
with iny compliments, and say to him
that if he wishes anyth’ng else under
my roof, on my grounds, or in my pocks
ets, all he has to do is to ask and res
#.eive.
Mr. Pillow, I cannot receive these
people; I have no food for them—have
nothing for them to do— have not food
enough for our soldiers, hardly.
And I cannot use them. • 1 had bacon
to keep ffeem, but it has been stolen. I
had corn/bift’it has been gobbled.—
Now, I have nothing for them eat, and
as Lincoln has turned this army into a
nigger boarding house you will please
seat these people at your table.
But I have no such power.
Then give them work. If you fail to
manage them, I will teach you. The
art can be learned ia about 30 years.
I have nothing for them to do.
Nor have I. You will rot see t’icm
starve I I am a loyal man—have
been a prosperous one—but can no lon
ger care for these people. You have
surely some use for them, Nearly all
trade are here represented among the
men. The women you can find use for
some where.’’
•‘Weil, I cant take them.’’
“My God, what will they live on? Can
you sell me corn and bacon? They will
starve unless yon do.”
No I cannot.
And you cannot keep them?
No.
Well, God only knows what will be>
come of them.
At the head of his old servants he
left and the people followed him back
crying and wondering what next will
comb in tbcir.behalf. The poor creat
turcs come into camp, steal provisions,
&c., are kicked and cuffed about by u all
hands, and at times most unmercifully
pounded by some soldier who will not
stand their ‘sass,’ The only idea nine
tysnine of every one hundred of slaves
have of freedom is ease freedom from
labor, theft and hist. —(Cor. Chicago

A visible sensation was produced and
several called for another readiag of the

Senator Asa R. Grover, who had left

one was allowed t® pass out except he

abuse of the President and his “nigger

their neighbors speculating whether they
