He-probably will, as it is known that a jrcat many loading men of the .Republican party have jeou latterly urging that peace*commissioners bo sent ,o Riclmiondi , * A strjkiug illustration of the fidelity, of the slaves of lie South to tlio cause for which their masters are ighting is.n(l'orded by an incident Which occurred in he vicinity on Sunday last. Two Yankee prisoners, vhohad escaped from the cars near Florence, made heir way to the plantation of L. W. R. Blair, Esq.', valked bbldly up to lus negro quarter, asked for food ind shelter. The negroes readily gavo both, and, to jrovent them from being disturbed iu the enjoyment of ;he latter placed, a guard over them and. immediately totified their, master. He at once had them brought ,o his house, placed a negro guard over them, and on .lie loiiowing any, (Monday;, brougiit tneai to uamleu and lodged them-in jail. "Whilo passing a thicket, >n the way over, one of the prisoners leaped from the vagon juid got away before Mr. B. could shoot him' iown. One of the negroes,, however, pursued tho fugitive, ran liim doVn, and escorted him safely into Camden. A purse, we understand, has been made up br- the negroes, and presented to them as a reward 'or their fidelity,. The Jtfegro Trade in the North. A friend who met an acquaintance from Kentucky, says the following may he relied up >n. i\sked, as a inilttcr of curiosity, councct,vith the status of slavery there under the malipulations of the Lincoln government?what ire negroes worth in Kentucky ? Tho answer ibout two hundred or two hundred and fp'ty lollars in greenbacks, for young, likely fellows, jut they sell fur eleven and twelve 'hundred louars over in inaiana ana Illinois, now is ,hat?;dotf't understand von." Why you see nv friend, as every man's negro is liable in \ei!tueky to be seized at any moment by a Yankee recruiting officer and pntinto service,, viihoilt compensation to jnaster or slave, the iwners bargain with their servants and agred lpon a joint speculation. They then run Sainjo over into Southern Indium or Illinois andleftvhiiu as a recruit to any one of innny agents >f th'<v New England Abolitionists who arc here negotiating for substitutes, wherewith to effect the "demands of the draft against the towns or cities they represent. .The number of these emissaries is legion? ;he'demand active, and the Kebtncky fnaster s flblo to sell his slave to one of them generaly from a thousand to twelve hundred dollars. tnnriAr tlm KKAKAIITT tniik i.

NORTHERN NE WS. Richmond, Sept 20.?The Cincinnati correspondent of the Chicago Times, says Yallandingham has no intention of inaugurating anv o . o CJ * revolutionary measures in consequence of McClcllan's letter of acceptance, lie is not in favor of another convention or nomination, but would like an explanation of somct points con tained in the letter. He refuses to take the stump. Grant has gone to Washington, and Beast Butler to Fortress Monroe to?recruit his health. From Florida.?Gen. Ashbath, who commands the Federal forces at the Navy Yard, learning last week that a scouting party of the Fifteenth Confederate cavalry were near I'ensacola, came out with a large force with a view of capturing them. On Hearing the contemplated scene of .action, Geri.- Ashbath learned that this party was only a decoy, and that the whole of the Fifteenth were raoving.to his rear, and that instead of capturing anybody, he was in a fair way of being gobbled up himself.? Gen'. Ashbath took the back track in a hurry, and in crossing tbo ford at the mouth of the Big Bayou after dark neglected to make the proper signal to the gunboats lying off that point, and they mistaking Ashbath's for rebel cavalry, opened with grape and canister, killing 27 and wounding a large number, also doing cnnsidernble execution arnonf? th'e horses. O , - " * -An Incident.?A Virginia correspondence gives tbe following incident of the explosion before Petersburg: ' < It is said that a South Carolinian, lyho was blown up last Saturday, fell to the ground and escaped nnlrurt Gen. Be;aregard sent for him and enquired about the circumstances.? The soldier said : "He knew but very little, that as he was coming down, he met two offi; cers going up, who told him to fall back to Pe tersbnrg as soon a? he landed on terra firma, and he had obeyed it strictly." This will off- < set "the Yankee who was blown up by the tor- ' pedo on tbc James river, and 6hot a Confeder ate with bis repeater as he was coming down. This I have given as one of the many camp ; stories wherewith we while away the time. V * .1 A Newly Itested Stethoscope.?V. Koe-, ing of Paris, his invented a stethoscope .which . H promises to become very useful in clinical prac-' tice, in which the instrument usually employe^, fl is "often found inconvenient. . The new instrument consists of a^at box slightly roundedj containing a diaphragm of caoutchouc, which, by blowing, is made to-assume a hemispherical form. Jo the box thns prepared a. tube of ca-. eutchoue, five or six yarns in length, is attach-. cd, and, on applying the eat to the outer extremity of this tube, tHc beating of the heart, and the movement of the lungs can be distinct-. Iv heard. This, it will be seen, is an important. advantage, for the stethoscope can now be ap-- m piied to the chest of a patient lying in bed, and*, observations made without incoavehience to. either party. There is, moreover, the further advantage that five tulles can be screwed to the box as easily "as one, whereby, during a clinical lecture or examination, four students, may listen to the movements of the chest of the patient, while the surgeon is making his' . -I observations thoreoD.
