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

[From the Richmond Whig, April 16.]
The Charleston Courier makes a timely suggestion
when it says the Tomato should receive particular atten
tion from our farmers. 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. -

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.
