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.

The New York World says: “It- is manifest the greatest battles of the 'Vflr are about to take place.’’ The following paragraph appears in the New York joui nals. VOL. XX—HO. 10- Information has been received in New Yord, from Richmond, that the Grand Lodge of Virginia, recently in session there, rescinded the resolution adopted by that body in 1860, forbidding*inter— course with the Masons under.the juris diction of the Grand Lodge of New York. Gov. Gamble, in a message td the Legislature of Missouri, denounces the Delaware peace resolutions, and r< commands that they be passed over in silence. A Washington dispatch to the N, Y., Tribune says: , The revolutionary 'arid treasonable rttitude assumed by the copperheads of Connecticut, in their recent Convention is attracting, as it ahould, the epecial attention of the Government There is a limit to the forbearance of the Admin istration. It is asserted that Vice President Hamlin has gone Northward for the sole purpose of obtaining officers for r. negro brigade which is being raised in Louisi ana, the officers of which arc to ba ccnx missioned by the Governor of Maine. Tli? Frankfort Ky., cortbdpondent of the Cincinnati Gazett gives an account of the dispersion of the Convention there which it seems, was compose lof dele-* gates sent to nominate State officers in favor of peace. Lie says: At 11 o’clock John Leathers, of Cdv ington, called the Covention to order by calling Ex Gov. Meriweather to the chair; but he not being present, Leath-, ers took the chair pro tem, J. P. Harris son acting as secretary. At this stage of the proceedings Col. Gilbert of the 44th Ohio, commander o the Ist brigade, army of Central Xen-« tucky, came forward, and in a calm, fine voice, read the following: Headquarters First Brigade, ) Army of Central Kentucky, > Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 18. ) General Orders No. 3.—Reliable ins formation having been received at these headquaters that a number of I'cbel spies and emissaries are in tbis’oity, it is ordered that all persons now hero who aie not residents, or who are not mem bers of ihe Kentucky Legislatcre, or of ficers of the State Government, shall forthwith report their - names to these headquaters, accompanied with satis factory references as to their loyalty to the Government of the United States. By command of S. A. Gilbert. Colonel Commanding Brigade. John G. Tclforc, A. A. A. G. A visible sensation was produced and several called for another readiag of the order. This wag done by Lieut. Cifl. Wilson, of the 44th Ohio “Curses, not loud but deep,” followed; but there was a Manifest disposition to smooth the thing over, and to proceed to business with all the semblance of good faith possible under the circumstances. Senator Asa R. Grover, who had left his seat in the Senate to attend the con vention, arose and suggested that in or der to facilitate business the call for delegates be made, and as the lists were handed in they could be submitted to Col Gilbert. The Secretary then proceeded to call the count cs in their alphabetical order Jefferson, Campbell, Henry, Olden, Owen, Scott, Mason, Oldham and Wood ford counties, and the city of Louisville sending the largest number of dele gates. During the call David Merriweather arrived in the hall, and was invited to the <iiair. He is an ex-Governor of New Mexico, and has been a very active Se cessionist from the first. It soon became known that the place was guarded by Federal seldiers, and several of tha more timid began to evince signs of uneasiness, and commen ced to meve toward the door, but nb one was allowed t® pass out except he had enrolled his name. Some swore ftt* riously and indulged in the most filthy abuse of the President and his “nigger thieves;” but the majority remained si*, lent, and spent their time in looking at their neighbors speculating whether they W«fev> to be trusted or notw
