Sick of Negroi-Strange Revelation. The Fortress Monroe correspondent of the New York Herald writes to that paper as follows, under date of May 29lh: Times are changed here. Everything is changed. The people are changed. Even the "poor African" is changed, lie who was meek and lowly then, is now saucy and impudent, and their insults are so frequent, that we begin to look upon tlietn as a necessary evil. From all appearances, in a few weeks more a "poor child of Ethiopia" at Old Point Comfort will be better than any man in Boston. But is this not a' war for the elevation of the colored rACfi. and wliv ftlirmld wa Kno ftml Is not Brother Wilder working for the elevation of the race ? Does not Brother Wilder sleep in the same house with the colored brothers and sisters, and eat at the same table with the "dear colored sisters;" why should we not do the same? Alas! for us; but to use a common expression, we "can't see it in that light." Life^here at present is next* to intolerable.? What will it be in a few weeks to coinc ? You live next to the dead and dying; cat the same miserable lamb, raiu, ham and beef, day after day, week after week, and month after month; sleep anywhere and everywhere; continually in contact with niggers and Abolitionists?and yet this is called life! Thank heaven, tho Mori mac is blown up. I guess the Flag Officer would say amen to that * Through the courtesy of a friend we have been permitted to use the following extract from a private letter, from an absent volunteer: "Though the bullets whized around me like bees and my ears deafened by the explosion of shells, I came out unhurt I was within a few feet of our beloved General, Joseph E. Johnston, when he fell, and assisted in carrying him off the field. He whs struck behind the right shoulder with a minuie ball, inflicting a very serious wound, but glad to say he is fast recovering and will soon be able to take the field again. Gen. Lee is in command at present. Our misfortune brought us from the field sooner than we anticipated leaving, but not before we were willing to leave, as we were exposed to a roost terrific fire, without the means of returning the compliment. I have always had a desire to get into a fight, or rather a battle, that I might learn or see something warlike, but have had my curiosity gratified, and can't say I am anxious to get into another, but feel ready and willing to do so at any time, for we shall surely have to fight desperately for our independence. But we go into battle with trong arms and willing hearts, and will fight ?fight and newer cease vntil we get liberty or death /" < * [for the camdkn confedrate.] Mr. Editor : The following noble and beautiful sentence, breathing the lofty and proud spirit of Old Virginia in her best days, even now, in the day of her adversity, occurs in a letter from a private Virginia gentleman, to a gentleman in this town. It has the ring of true metal, and deserves publication : "Virginia is wasted?her soil desecrated, her cultivation suspended, her people killed, and their homes pillaged. But she is being baptized in suffering to perfect her virtues, and glorify her history. The separation is widening and deepening. There is en nK * Ko?n and bitter memories, filled with blood and skeletons, which can never he spanned by any bridge."

Usklkss Labor.?Beauregard's evacuation of Corinth has rendered useless all the vast la% bor the yankees have expended in preparation to reduce the fortifications prepared by him at Corinth. To show what has been done, a correspondent of a Northern paper says: " Since Gen llalleck took command at Pittsburg Landing, our army has built, incredible as tue story may sound, more than fifty miles of entrenchments, and full two hundred miles of wagon roads! Four parallels, each more than twelve mile* in length, three or four roads ?wide, corduroyed and bridged?leading from the landing to each corps de'armee?all the works of our men, many of whom never before handled a spade or an axe in all their lives. Exclusive Yankee Commerce.?Tho New Orleans correspondent of the Ilavanna Diario de la Marina, 24th ult., says: "Gen. Butler has just instructed Commodore Farragut not to allow any vessels to come np to the city, except American." John Bull and the Emperor will probably look after this matter, as they did at Norfolk' By the way wo perceive that there have beer almost daily arrivals of British and French men-of-war for some time past. ? Savannah Republican. General Butler "Keeps a Hotel."?New Orleans at present is without a hotel. The St. Charles is occupied exclusively by Gen. Butler and fitnflf- Sf?ntinnla marnh in frnnl and ar/?nnd it; heavy cannon arc placed on the banquet before it. The City and St. Louis Hotels are closed, and the St. James is a hospital for Federal soldiers. The custom house is occupied by a regiment of Federal soldiers. Lafayette square is an encampment for another regiment, and the mint is similarly occupied. Fbom MEMPnis Tennessee.?It is rumored that our gunboats at Memphis have had a fight with the enemy, and that all of them were destroyed but two, which fell into the hands of the enemy. This is unfortunate, but it was not to be expected that our little flotilla could hold out agaiust the powerful fleet of the enemy. The city is now occupied by the enemy's forces. ?Augusta Constitutionalist, June 10. Prime Lard. XAA POUNDS COUNTRY LARD OF KUPKOl /" ' RIOK QUALITY, for sale at tlio Old Oornor.
