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 /" < *

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." D.

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.

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'

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.
