Runaways.?The Mobile A'cw.f fays: "In the beginning of the war, wherever Yankee troops held Southern localities oc- ' cupicd L>y negroes, the latter, in largo numbers, ran ofT to lliem, a-? they supposed to obtain their freedom. The experience of the kind of freedom the Yankees allow to their "colored brethcru" has reversed tho system, and now the fashion has becomo general for the upgroi?3 to inn awav from the Yankees back to their homes, and masters plantation. A citizen of Mobile, having relatives in Virginia, has received a letter from one of them, informing him that tho last one of hi3 slaves, (thirty odd in number,) who wpnt oil' with the Yankees, has escaped and returned home. rk..o - < :.i <*--> v< iiiviu, .v i.iii.iiiui man, who Dover hud received a blow at homo since lie wai a child, came back marked from bis ne<k down with cvcoraliotis of ihe Yankee lash. The best masters are those most accustomed to that relation with their slaves, and who know best how to manago them. The Yankee is proverbially n hard task-master. He is not used to being waited upon, and like a bejlgur on bor.sej back, he rides the free horse to death. Xo people have a keener appreciation of good I ami gentle breeding than the negro; nono j iiavc a quicker eye to discover,. or a more j fastidious taste to admire a lady or a gentleman. It is no wonder then; that they j soon become disgusted. They find that ; instead of getting frcidom, they have only ' exchanged masters?good masters for bad i ones?mas tun who were strangers, who j euro nothing for them, and whose only ; thought \vas to get all the work out of them I possible. The new fashion of running aj way from the Yankees is bound to grow" j and extend." i Conked ten ate CoxouEss.?In the Sen; ate, on the 17th, Mr. Orr, of South I lina, introduced j|ic following bills:>a I A bill making Columbia, South Carolina j a port of delivery for goods imported into j Charleston, South Carolina, and Wilming ; ton, North Cavolina.
