The Contrabands in Washington. To the Editor of I%e Press: The contraband question has puzzled the brain of the wisest of our statesmen, and jot no satisfaetor j solution has been found. Much has been said and written of those gathered at Port Royal. Newborn, and Fortress Monroe, while those at Washington have had but little notice in the public prints. Meanwhile these have neither been unobserved nor neglected. They have been sheltered and protected by Go vernment, olethed by the Freedman’s Association, and taught by the American Tract Society. About fire months ago, when the army of the Potomac moved to Manassas the contrabands began to crowd into the oit.y from . the neighboring comi ties of Virginia .-'This influx of blacks still oontinues, but the region of the supply has been continually moving toward Richmond. Now, the country stretching from Acfjuia Creek to the rebel capital supplies the stream, most coming from the vicinity of Fredericksburg, and a few from Richmond. The advanoe of the army left vacant a number of houses immediately opposite the east front of the Capitol, and one square, distant. These houses, formerly called Carroll Place, are now known as “Duff Green Row,” from the name of their owner, Duff Green, lone known as Government printer, but now a noted Secessionist far down in “ Dixie,” Government took possession of them early in the rebellion, and quartered troops there during the winter. When the soldiers left them they were not of much value. In these bouses these home less negroes were sheltered. They asked for em ployment. The men were taken into Government service, some as teSmsters, receiving the regular pay, $25 and rations, these supporting their own families; others reoeiving about $lO per month and rations for themselves and obildren. The latter class were employed in removing the offal of the camps, burying the dead horses of the army, and in other sanitary measures for the health of the oity. But still the females were idle. They wanted homes; tho families of the city needed domestics. General Wadsworth, military governor, had already ap; ointed a superintendent to provide rations, &0., for those employed by Government. This man,, as quartermaster of contrabands, was directed to open an intelligence office for servants. Multitudes of both the loyal and disloyal came to him. A certificate of good oharaoter and fidelity to the Government was required before a contract was made. Notwithstanding this care, a few were decoyed and oarried back.to slavery. But all, with these few exceptions, were provided with good homes, reoeiving from two to eight dol lars per month. It was supposed that this demand'' for servants would oease, and the females be ena bled to find employment; but up to this time, for the space of five months, neither has the demand slaokened nor the number of those seeking homes grown less. Many of the women are “ fieldhands,” and hence as ignorant of household duties as a me chanic at the North; but they *hre all willing to learn. Those used as house servants to the msster’s families are well trained, and command good wages. The others will soon be equally good, lor they nre living and learning every day. Many of both sexes have gone North. There is a-demand for men to.supply the great drain made on our industrial resources by the enlistments for the army. The great barrier to this iB a provision in tho oharter of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, by whioh tho company is required to exact a bond of a s thousand dollars, pledging that such person shall never be claimed as a fugitive slave. This ought not to prevent, for it is hardly possible that suoh a claim will ever be made; and, even if made, it could not be established, for. Govern ment has marked them “contraband,” and put a pledge of military protection in their hands. Seizures of this kiod have been made here, but, by the interference of the military power, the parties have been released. When they arrive they are examined by the su perintendent, and to those from Virginia a paper is given, stating that the bearer is under the “mili tary protection” of the United States. A reeord is kept of all received, and of their former place of residence. A second one has been recently begun, containing the place to which they were sent to lAbor and the wages received. After being-admit ted, the able-bodied men are added to these already cmployod about the hospitals and in the quarter master's department. Ihe women not encumbered with children and the boys and girls able to earn ■wages are ready for hiring. These are always in demand. Some do not remain fifteen minutes in the building,'others are not taken for hours, and a few, not very desirable, remain for days. Some are neither able to earn wages nor to support them solves. These have accumulated until the number has reached two hundred and fifty. It is matter of grievance to some that our revenue should bo ex pended for these; let us see who the two hundred and fifty are. When the rebel slaveholders leave their homes for tbo South they carry with them, as far as possi ble, tfyeir favorite servants. Those helpless from age or disease, and the lame, half, and blind are left to care for themselves. When these parties came within our lines the best were taken as ser vants for the officers v Lastly they come hero, and every one is hired who is able to earn even victuals and clothes. The remnant is placed under the care and share the mercy of the military authorities. These consist of the helpless.. Some are women with from three to six children. Their husbauds(?) they say have " gone Souf wid de army.” These two hundred and fifty are mainly the pau pers collected from the upper counties of Virginia. There ore some such about every plantation. It is the fruit of the institution. Government has broteotod this for many years. The masters have " " ’' best days, and now they this wlisn tJie viate tbo distresa it has produced. But Government is not expending much money for the support of the hospital. It provides the medicines. The surgeon of the BGth N. Y. Volun teers, now doing provost duty In the oity, prescribes for these siolt; the nursing ij done by the inmates of the institution; ‘this is superintended by a lady employed by the Freedman's Relief Association, and is supported by the contributions of citizens! Ihe same benevolent organization provides Clothing for the destitute. Thousands have been relieved in this way. Government does give them some rations, but no .clothes. All honor to the sootety tint has assumed this burden, while the others have been pressing the country so heavily. The present superintendent, Rev. J. D. Niohols ■was appointed about throe weeks ago. He was formerly principal, of the Chicago Roform School, s°“.P®* brought with him much experience, which facilitates this work. He has also visited most of the reform schools of Europe. The efficiency of the expenditures, and the comfort of the siok, have been greatly increased through his agenoy. New privileges have brought with them new re sponsibilities. Formerly the msstor owned the labor; now,the ownership having changed, the ser vant must negotiate for himself, While ho soils his own labor to the greatest advantage, ho must also buy well, husbanding bis resources for himself and zamilji A true idea of liberty must be imparted. Idle ness, drunkenness, theft, and every other vice must be shunned. They must be strengthened for meet ing temptation and trial, which surely await them, ■they must be saved from themselves, and they .must also be saved from others, lest their ruin be also a reproach to their friends, and eventually forgo ohams for their brethren'in bondage more galling than slave has ever worn. For theso new responsibilities they must be/eduoated both men taHy This .education has beon pro vided by the American Tract Society. It has pub lished large oards, with familiar words in olear type, and a .book corresponding to, and modelled altor, these cards. It has also prepared a series of tracts for those who could read imperfectly. With these facilities, they met the .contrabands as they first cam© to Washington. Early in March, Roy. Dr. otovenaon, one of the society’s secretaries ac companied by .the Key. H; W. Piorson, D 7 l>. visited Washington for the purpose of inaugurating a system of instruction for the" contrabands iihd colored people of Washington. They obtained the approval of the. President, Gov. Wadsworth, and others in authority, and the- co-operation of the pastors of the city, and many other Christian men. Schools were opened at Duff Green Row and the navy yard. The work was then entrusted to G. L. Shearer, a student of Princeton Theological Seminary, and was immediately prosecuted. - As it ■' grew, the society added James Marshall, and soon after two more men, B. P. .Payson and Rev J K Burgster. These facilities of education have been extended to nearly all the colored peoplo of Wash ington and Georgetown, and to tho contrabands at Washington and Alexandria. Eight schools have ; thus been established, four of which aro composed exclusively of contrabands, and the others mostly of the free blacks. In all. about three thousand persons, from infancy to the age of sixty, have boon m attendance. Tho contraband sohool at Duff Green Row is in session from 9 to 11 A M , and from Bto9hP. M. The morning session is ooou picd with those unable to perform manualiabor mostly women and children. In the evening, this number is increased by those who labor durin» the day. The instruction of theca adults is by some considered unimportant; they say the children - have the first claim. Admitting this, the parents have the second. It is not certain that tho children will teach tho parents, but if we teach the parents they, in turn, wilt instruct the children; andfur ther, it is this generation that must bear tho bur den.of beginning life in a new way, and thoy espe-i oially need the training. Let both be taught in dustriously and carefully. ° Their progress is very satisfactory. Some have learned to read in a space of time which would do credit to precocious youth of brighter color, One man, a sailor, thirty years old, received a book on Thursday, On tho following Friday and Monday he received half-an-hour’s instruction. On Tues day he was able to read oonnectedly, and with a good degree of accuracy. When asked about his progress, he said that long ngo he knew his letters but oould not pronounce, “ hut,” said ho, “ since I got dis book Ise drawed hard on it.” One child just three years old, is familiar with nearly all the alphabet. Many have done remarkably well, but some, asinaU olasses, are dull. In ability toTearn, they have far exoeeded my oxpeotation. I venture • “.W ,‘ hat thia ability is greater than that with which they are generally credited. It is to be regretted that the time to teach is so Short, and so unfavorable, thoy are generally pre- Bent only *a few times. As one sot goes another comes. The sohool is fall but always ohanging. tinder suoh circumstances more is done by showing Ihe possibility of theirl learning, inciting their de° are, and making them able to help themselves, than by actually teaching the letters. Mon are fre quently met who, having been in school a few timos, have carried thence a belief that thoy oould learn! This being changed to a determination that thoy would learn, the use of the books bestowed by the society, and the occasional aid of a friend, have fmt them in possession of the keys necessary to un ook the storehouse of tho rioh treasures »f the English tongue. These things, acquired in a few weoks or months, are surely worth the self-sacri flomg labor of teaching, as well ns the self-denial of ta© pupil I flay Betf>dcai&l, for this learning is ac complished by using for this purpose tho hours of restor reoroation. I mention an inatanoo: A few weeks ago I visited Cliffburne Hospital whore sixty contrabands were employed in removing rubbish and erecting tents for the siok. As I approached them one addressed me with “ how do you do Mr lu3? h >? r? !!i. Well, said I,but I don’t recollect you! Oh, said he, “I am one of your scholars. I was at your school three nights a long time ago, and y»u ebbed me a book,” and brightening up, ho addod, loaniead,” How did you learn? X inquired. Could you read when you oame there? “No. Bir,” he replied, “I didn’t know my A, B, C’a, bub learned a little with you, and whenever I gets into » hard place I gets one of the soldiers to help me.” Jn order to bo certain, I took from my pookot some reading with which I know he was not familiar; he lead, spelling the more diffioult words. Uponinqut xtagof theeorporalinohargeof thatbandof men, I learned that many carry their books in their pockets, and uso dvery spare momentduring the day, and im prove it in learning to read. To the question, why would you loam? they generally reply,that I may be able to read the Bible.” In this dos'ire, in 1 their rospeot for public worship, and implicit faith in God’s Word; they put to shame thoso who have enjoyed better, advantages. Although a fow are found with soarce'y a definite idea of God, and without a knowledge of His Word, or even of its existence, yet an open infidel lias not been seen among them.. About three per cent, of those arriving can read. There have been taught by persons of their own color, or by the ohildreu of their former masters. A few such, with the best of those taught to read in the aohools, have been instructed in writing, arith metic, and geography. Another feature of tract Booieties’ work is that it furnishes not only education, but Christian educa tion. A decided moral tone is given to the usual instruction, and twjioe each Sabbath all assembled to hear the Word preached by one ofthe young men :or the superintendent. Several weekly prayer meet ings have been conducted by the church members "among them. The one on Sabbath evening is very largely attended. In this way the stream of ne glected and degenerate humanity flowing into our midst and becoming an element of society is in some measure tempered by the genial influence of the Gospel. Instead of letting these men loose with ho restraint hut that which the law throws around them, they are taught by the fear of God to be a restraint unto themselves. Nor is ibis work designed to he ephemeral. In the spirit in which it has been begun and prose cuted, it will bo carried on. There are, however, two limits; one is the length of time daring whieh Providence shall lot the door be opened. Wo trust that it will be ; always; but if the powers of earth and hell are ever permitted to close, and bolt this door, and the work be thus ended, a pro- ; test will arise in no ambiguous tones, reaching the ears of men and God. The other limit ope rates all the time. It is the amount of “ma terial aid ” furnished by the patrons of the society, by the friends of the oppressed Afri can, by all who, with the Saviour,-can pity the weak and anchor the distressed. Nothing but this permits the further expansion of the work here, ana the offer of like facilities at other points. One of the men has set a worthy example in this. He brought five dollars, almost all the savings from his first month’s labor, and pat it in my hands for the support of the sohool. Of course, such a sacri fice, though showiug a commendable spirit, wa3 not permitted to be made. We look for the same spirit elsewhere. The society gra'efully aoknow ; ledges the sympathy and co-operation of the Christian mien and women of the city, who have voluntarily shared the labor of teaohing the free blacks in the schools established for this purpose. The question of their future homes is unsettled. Like all other men, they are attached to the -old haunts of their childhood. Their hearts turn back with yearning, not for their chains, bat for the lit-: tie cabin, for the shade of the old oaks around it, or of the trees their own hands have planted. If left to ohoose homes, nine-tenths would go back to Vir ginia, but never without theassnronoe that they should in no ease be returned to a state of slavery. Theyiaie averse to going North, on account of the prejudice to be encountered there, which, in some States, has resulted in a prohibition of resi dence. They also fear the cold climate, at the very mention' of whioh they shndder; but more than all things they dread the separation from their kindred with little or no hope of a reunion. They have seldom gone beyond the limits of the neigh boring plantations, and cannot endure the thought of exile in a far-distant part of the land. 1 Nor is it right that they should bo exiled. “They have served faithfully and been poorly rewarded: They have toiled from year to year at the will of Others, and received in return only the necessaries of life. ’ ’ And must they and their children be driven from their homes forever? Justice alone would say give them the protection necessary to their re maining where they are, . ■ A few of the most intelligent have gone to foreign lands; These have been the flower of the oontra bands. The Second ship-load is now on the way to Hayti, and Liberia and Central America have their agents in the field. It is not right to send them away against 1 their will/ We need their labor to develop the immense agricultural and mineral wealth of our country, bat if, in the light of the restrictions and trials to which they will always be subject while dwelling with the whites, some de termine to go where they are the ruling race, what American would gainsay or resist? In thenameof the freedom we so much love, let them go. Their entire removal wonld be an effectual settlement of the many difficulties which have so 10-g harassed the oonntry, and which have brought it to the brink of ruin. The events of the past five months have yielded nothing to confirm the theory of those who have declared that this people are wholly unfitted for self-government. Some instances of shiftlessness have been found, but they would also occur among a like number of almost any olass. The demand for their labor shows that they are not despised as outcasts : Their desire and capacity to learn, and their commendable progress, have raised the hopes of friends and confounded the wisdom of enemies. Emancipation has, in the light of facts, been stripped of many imaginary difficulties. To Borne it’is a fiery ordeal; bat it will be so however long deferred. It cannot como too soon. It mast aome before the ohattol bo elevated to the dignity of a man. The spirit of our institutions, ofAmerioan citizens, cf the age, of the Christian religion, is against oppression—against the fettering of tho soul or body. Why, then, should this people be longer bound? One word more: Doff Green Bow, In which this people havo found a refuge, has some historic fame. It was long tho great Congressional boarding house of this city; Senator Bask, of Texas,Joshuaß. Giddiags, Judge Bates, Daniel Webster, and others who have left the imprint of their oharacter on the history of their country, had their homes there. N. P. Willis wooed and won a damsel in the row. Tho veritable Mrs. Lincoln had her home there " I was in finn groga in The and first easy uiiiilTiTi' oi-ent voice of freedom in the month ofthe AnffloSaxon" now re-echoed from this oppressed people. * .

Let our possessions be wbat they may—marble palaces, broad lands, magnificent plate, or caskets of precious stones—they all sink in the balance as against Heaven’s ?*eai boon, health, and they cannot be enjoyed without it. he language of Nature attests that whoever would enjiy the pleasures of food, thß beauties of flowers and land scapes, fhp joj b of companionship, the richness of litera ture, or the honors of Btation and renown, must preserve their health. , , ; Fightrevelry, luxurious living, irregularity ofmeals, and a disordered appetite , will gradually lay the foun dation for disease.

Its component part, largely incorporated in the vegetable diet'of that'island, produced effects without a proper knowledge of the cause.

The medicinal qualities of these Bitters has and is ac quiring for them a reputation which no other Tonic Bit ter In the United States or the world has yet attained, and, from the active ingredients (several of them never before employed in similar preparations) which enter into their composition, will continue to retain an ascendancy which has been eo liberally and so justly conferred upon them. Such are their rare and peculiar properties that, While they operate as an active and efficient medicine, they possess the properties of an agreeable and delightful; beverage, and are daily sought after and drank by all classes of people. The sale of these Bitters was at first confined to our extreme Southern cities, bat they are how becoming well known at the North, and throughout the world, and are recorometded,. with the most un-, bounded confidence, for all complaints originating from a -DISORGANIZED OB DISEASED STOMAOH, DISORGANIZED OB DISEASED STOMAOH, Such as.

Its extensive cultivation is ne cessary for the preservation of the health of our soldiers. The Tomato seems to have a direct and peculiar action on the liver, producing all the beneficial effects of mer curial preparations without any of the injurious. It is said that the great success of the celebrated Plantation Bitters Of Dr, Drake* tthicb, previous to the present un happy condition of our country, was to be found upon the sideboard of thousands of Southern families, wag owing to its principal ingredient being the active princi ple of this plant. In confirmation of its value, we have heard one of our most distinguished physicians remark that when he felt unwell in the Bpring of the year, or during the warm months of summer and fall, he knew that it arose from the forper of his liver, and he inva riably relieved himself by partaking freely of these Bit ters at his meals. We trust that our troops will be sup plied with the above Bitters, if they can be procured, or if sot, let them have an abundant supply of the Tomato, as it is both hygienic and nourishing. - S-T-18R0-X.

MBBICIWAX, T3EAD THE FOLLOWING: JLui The opinions of medical men, after haVfeHf been instructed by Prof. BOLLES, 1226 WaLNUT Street, Philadelphia, in the application of Electricity as a thera peutic agent. , Extracts ot Letters from medical men, after having fnlly tested the dbcuvery of Prof BOLLES: W. B. WELLS, M. I>, Buffalo, N. I„ after a yoar’a practice, writes to Prof. B. or follows: I think my f-dtk fully comprehends the fact that Elec tricity, correctly applied, according to your discovery. is abundantly competent to cure all curable diseases. My experience am) success, after extensive practice, fully warrant this assertion. Were I sick with o fatal disease, I would far sooner trust my life In the handa of a sUilfal Electrician than all the pathies >» on earth besides Buffalo, N. Y. W. B. WELLS* M. D. d. McCarthy, m.d.: v . I am fully satisfied that Electricity, when understood according to its polarities and their relations to the fixed laws of the vital economy, as taught by you, te the moat powerful, manageable, and efficient agent knowa to man lor'tbe relief of psin and cure of disease. ■ I would far ther state that I have for the past few weeks used Elec tricity in my practice, to the exclusion of nearly all other remedies, and have been eminently successful, and con* eider it a universal therapeutic. Dayton, Ohio. D. MCCARTHY, M. D. P.tW. MANSFIELD, M. D,: 1 ‘ For the last nine months ! have made Electricity a spe cialty, and my faith is daily increasing in fra therapeutic effects, and I beliew, when applied according to your discovery, it will cure all curable diseases, among which are numerous cises never benefited by medicine. Buffalo, N. Y. * P. W. MANSFIELD, M. D. AMOS GRAY, M. D. Iwould recommend my brethren In the! medical pro fession to avail theraselveß of an opportunity of broom ing acquainted with Prof. Boilea’ new method of applying Electricity, which I think i$ not known to medical men, except those who have availed themselves of bis instruc tion, for lam very confident that:much injury must be the result of a wrong, unskilful application of bo power fulan agent. _ ASIO3 GEA.T, M.D. Detroit, Michigan. H. G. KIRBY, M. D.: What I have now to say is from actual observation, as I have spent most of my time for the last two month* with Prof. Belles, and have witnessed the effects of the Elec trical agent on from fifteen to twenty-five patients a day, Buffering from almost every Ibrm of chronic disease; and, as strange as it may appear; in a majority of cases, a per fect cure was effected in from five to fifteen days. And I wifi her ©remark that moat of his patients were afflicted with long standing complaints, considered incurable by ail other known remedies. G. KIRBY, EC. D. Cincinnati, Ohio. DAVID THURSTON, M. D.: I believe your ,discovery to be a reliable therapeutic agent,and feel it my duty to recommend it. -Since I have received instruction from yon I have applied it in cases oYApbony, Bronchitis, Chorea* Amenorrhcea, Asthma, and Congestion, and find that I have the same success that you had when I was under your instruction.' I in variably recommend medical men to avail themselves of an opportunity of becoming acquainted with your new rmtbcd of applying Electricity, Detroit, Michigan.* DAVID THURSTON, M. D. MARTIN GODDABD, M. D. . Prof. BolleB: A great revolution in my mind and prac tice has taken place since I became acquainted with your new discovery of applying Galvanism, Magnetism, and other modifications of Electricity asa curative agent. I have found by many experimenis time Electricity ie a safe therapeutic agent in all acute and cases when applied according to your discovery. I desire that medi cal men should became conversant with your discovery. ULEYelahd, Ohio. MiBVIN GODDABD, M. D. - Rochester, N. t;, Sept. 10,1859. : Prof Donnas—Dear Sib : The more I investigate this system ot practice, the more confident I am that it is all powerful to meet the ten thousand diseases to which flesh isbeir. : lYou, who firet discovered- Electricity to be a reliable therapeutic agent, should be considered a great benefac tor oyhe race, for it is the only reliablesystem of cure for the woes and ills of suffering humanity. It is strange that physicians have become so .wedded; to their several systems, brought up from the darkness of past ages, that they will close their eyes against the lightnowbeam ing forth through this system of practico. ■ All other sys tems I regard as the morning star to the rising sun. P.SHEDD, M. D. Prof. BOLLES: The nearer I conform to your system of application, the more successful I am, and as I have examined all the guides and works published upon, the subject, and seen nothing in reference to your theory, I do not hesitate to say I believe it to be original with you, and the only reli able system extant for curing disease. Bespectfully yours, Toronto. OHA.S. BAND ALL, M.-D. The opinion of a medical man, after thirty years’ practice, fifteen in Allopathy and fifteen in Homoeo pathy: * Prof. BoLLEa—Dear Sir : I never have, since you gave me instruction in your new discovery of applying Electri city, and God forgive me iflin the future ever do, practice ' either Homoeopathy or Allopathy. I have betn strictly go verned by the philosophy you laid dawr, and for the beat of reasons—namely: That I am generally successful, and I fraskly say to yon that I am done with medicine forever. My success has bees great since I have been in New ark, N. J. JAMES P. GBEVE9, M D., - 2CB Pine Btreet, Philadelphia. ;N. B—Tn addition to the above'extracts, .Prof. B. could furnish over one thousand, fully showing that he is well known to the medical and scientific world as the dis coverer ef all that is reliable in the therapeutic admini stration.of Electricity, and that all other operators now in the different cities.fexceptthose.qualified by him) are. using Eltclricity at hazard, and Pref. B. takes this oc casion to caution the community against charlatans.
