The intensity of the cold In the morning prevented many of the ladies now visiting the army from witnessing the review. Gen Kilpatrick’* division is temporarily commanded by Gol. Bryant, of the 18tU Pennsylvania Cavalry, the general having recently been called to Washing ton on special husines* by tbe President. Portions of the 3d and 6th Army Corps were also reviewed yesterday, - Gen. Meade returned to headquarters by special train yesterday. On his return he was greeted with the exultant strains of “Hail to the Caief,” exe cuted by the b»nd of Coins’ Zouaves, which was stationed near his tent awaiting his coining. The General looks remarkably well) and seems*to have bees materially improved by bis sojourn in Phila delphia. During his absence several needful im provements nave been made at headquarters. The giounds have been neatly polioi d, aad hedges and arches of evergreen erected, which add much to the natural beauty of the location, and exhibit true sol diei ly order and tastefulaess While the army is lying in its winter chrysalis, the troops era not unmindiul of the necessity for healthful reoreation and mental improvement. Ball playing is a very common amusement, and groups of aolciera may be steD, whenever the weather will permit, indulging in that exhilarating pastime. In Culpeper the members of tbe 14y found in the city maikets, are in brisk operation, and are extensively patronized by officers and men. The gi and ball of the 2d Army Corps, whioh takes place at general Warren’s headquarters on the 223 intt., is expected to eclipse anything of the kind ever vitseceed in the army. A large number of distinguished guest* have been invited. , T. aa. GEN. BUTLER’S COLORED TROOPS. A correspondent writes from Norfolk: Oae of the most significant* as well as remarkable features of Gen. Butler’s administration here, Is the success at tending tbe enlistment and organi zation of negro regi ments. Betides the three infantry regiments, he has now two of colored cavaliy, both well filled, and one of them tbe firat organized anywhere in the country. And if these men can march On foot, what can’t they perform in tbe way of ndingl We bad a case in il lustration only a few days siuoe. Their horses were all young and fresh, grain-fed, and mettlesome; among others a colt, so wild and restive that it seem ed impossible that he ever could be subdued. The quiet eye of a colored boy fairly beamed with‘de light as he craved the chance of riding the colt. No sooner was be mounted than the ciroiis was* put far in the shade. Such lofty rearing, kicking, and Shaking, would have appalled even a Rarey. Fail ing to unseat its rider, the vicious beast lay down ai d rolled but when he rose again the boy WAS still clinging to his back! “ You can squeeze die chile much’s you like, but yes can’t get dis darkee off no how,” and it couldn't . In music, too, they are natural experts. I was shown a boy, certainly not over seventeen, and pro bably not more thav fifteen, who ten days previous had never seen a bugle, while oa the occasion of the review his efforts In that line fairly eclipsed the ro tund Teuton, 1 who used to strain his cheeks so fear* fully on Barnum’s balcony. DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF. The Free-State Movement—Meeting of Co loied People in New Orleans—Tße Candi- dates for Governor. New Orleans, Feb. ll —There was a large meet ing last night in Lafayette Square, to ratify the nomination of Hod. Michael Hahn and the Free- State ticket* Speeches were made by Messrs. Hahn Swift, Atocha, Collins, and Shannon. There are now three candidates in the field—Hon. Michael Hahn, Hon. B. F. Flanders, and Hon. Christian Bereliui. / nEGISTRT OF VOTERS. [From the New Orleans Era, February 13.3 , It will be noticed that we have secured already in the Parishes of Orleans and Jefferson enough votes to amount to about one-tenth of the aggregate vote in the State at the last Presidential election. But this should be no reason for the relaxation of our efforts. We can and should poll, in the loyal por tions of this State, on the 22d inat,, 10,000 votes* A BPKBOH BY ÜBi BABB, Hon* Michael Hahn mace a speech at a ratifies* tion meeting a few evenings since, and said: Feulow-Citizens : I congratulate you on the evi dent change in the public mind with regard to the Union within the last two years. The cause of our country and of freedom is making rapid aud gigan tic -The spirit of rebellion is fast giving way to love for our union, and before many months* elapse wo will again be a united, happy, and power ful people. God, in his infinite mercy, will hot al low this country and this people to become perma nently divided. The cause of justice is the cause Of the Union. “Thrice Is he armed, who hath his quarrel just. ” When the spirit of secession first raised its head in this city, in i 860 .1 was the first man to offer a re solution of devotion to the Union, at a public meet ing on this very square. 1 have continued to love the Union ever since, all through the darkest hours of this rebellion. It doeß not become me to speak of myself, but, in conclusion. I must say that if I am elected your Governor I will enter on the dis charge of my duties perfectly free and untrammeled, without any pledges, except those of the principles with whiQh jou are all familiar, and with a deter mination to do justice to all men. Let each and every ore of us go to the polls on the 22d, and vote for the men of our oboice. Let ue cast a large vote, whether for or against me, so that our friends in the North may see that Louisiana is in truth fully re turning to the Union* AMUSEMENTS IN NEW ORLEANS, Gen. Banks is showing greattaot in the manner in which he is endeavoring to win over the people by timely and considerate attention to their peculiar customs and fancies, wherever they can be indulged without militating against healthy authority. I wrote you recently respecting a grand promenade conceit, Which took place at the new French Opera House* Another one takes place to-night, even more brilliant than the last, and to terminate with dancing. How far the people will respond to these efforts to gratify them, in the present, bitter and troubled condition of the public mind with regard to political matters, remains to be seen; but these attempts are none the less praiseworthy, and cannot but prove highly beneficial. Beside this promenade concert, another singular and to us Northerners, novel feature, marks the advent 01 this day of festivity—itfordf Gras. The maskers who last year were prohibited from carrying on their mummeries in the streets,and many of whom were—through some innocent misunderstanding caught and locked up in the calaboose all night for infringing the laws, are to-day allowed full license in all their strange vagaries. As 1 write, males and females, in the strangest attire and every conceivable form of masks, are to be seen dashing through the streets in carriages, or strolling along in squads of half a dozen, followed by a crowd of laughing and screaming children—of all ages, sexes, and colors. The new comer, who never saw anything of the kind before, stops to gape and wonder what all such nonsense means; but the old stagers, who can remember when the wealthy citizens of New Or leans joined in such sports, and thought nothing of squandering each from one to ten or twenty thou sand dollars upon every Mardi Gras, shake their de sponding heads, button-hole you to talk of theglories of the past, and wind up with the invariable,- “Ah f we shall never see those times again!” MEETING OB' THE COLORED PEOPLE* A meeting of the colored people of this city was held last evening, in the Lyceum Hall, to meet Co lonel McKay, one of the commissioners appointed by the President to investigate the condition of the negroes emancipated by act of Congress and the President’s proclamation of January 1,1863. Long before the hour of commencement every seat in the vast hall was filled, and soon the aisles and all avail able standing places were densely packed above and below* It is no exaggeration to say that a more re spectable audience, so far as external appearances were concerned, was never assembled in New Or leans* Upon the close of the remarks of Colonel McKay, a committee was appointed to draft resolutions ex pressive of the sense of the meeting, and while they were absent, Mr. J. B. Noble was called upon to address the assembly* He stated that there were two classes introduced here, one of slaves from the wilds of Africa—an ignorant, degraded people—and the other an intelligent, eduoated, enlightened, and wealthy class from Jamaica and Cuba; that they had contributed by their labors to the wealth and prosperity of Louisiana; that they had always obeyed the laws and paid their taxes promptly, school tax and all, though they had never reaped any advantage from it until within the last year. They wanted publio schools; they wanted to be re cognized as men; they wanted the odious Black Code dorse away with* After Mr. Noble had concluded his remarkf, in the course of which he related an instance of the work ings of the Black Code, which afl'eoted many of the audience to tears, the following resolutions were reported by the committee, and after being read in French and English, were adopted: . Whereas, His Excellency, the President of these United States, felt it his duty to inquire into the condition of toe colored people of Louisiana, for the realization of their new position in social life, to sustain themselves and implant a spirit of indepen dent and free manhood into the minds of their de scendants ; and Whereat, We perceive, through the effects of this wioked rebellion, that the power, prosperity, wealth, justice, and liberty of this country, will be brought to their greatest perfection only by a wise and judi cious legislation for the just equalization of human rights; and Whereas, The sympathies over the relative condi tion of aooiety will be notably renovated and im proved ; therefore, Be it resolved, That we, the colored people of this city, in miss meeting assembled, at Lyceum Hall, In New Orleans, do hereby express our unbounded and heartfelt thanks to the President of these Uni ted States, Abraham Lincoln, and his Cabinet, for the palpable Interest they behalf of the once so unrighteously oppressed people of Africa’s blood. Be it further resolved , That we acknowledge the power, proceedings, sod enactments or the present Administration of the United states, and our sin* cere prayer is that its legislative acts may be relt throughout the land, like the rain and sunshine on our earthly soli. And be it further resolved, That as unto God we send our daily prayers for the welfare, both temporal and spiritual, of the President and his family, so unto the same Great Being we offer up our petitions for the longer continuance of his servant* Abraham Lincoln, in his present high and responsible posi tion, and for the progressive development of a high er civilization, refinement, righteousness, truth, peace, and national happiness of the American people* After Mr. Martin W. Wagner had addressed the meeting, another committee, which had been ap pointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of tbe meeting on the question of inviting Frederlok Douglass to visit New Orleans, reported the fol lowing : Whereas , We recognize tbe servioe* of the illus trious Frederlok Douglass, in his labors for the ele vation and disenthialment of his race; therefore, be it , Resolved, That a oommitiee of seven gentlemen be appointed by the chair to extend an Invitation to Mr. Frederick Douglass, Inviting him to visit our city at aueh time as may best suit his earliest con venience, THE ESCAPE FROM RICHMOND. Full PnrtlCNl37a by one of tbe Escaped Uolonels, UNION SENTIMENT IN RICHMOND. Eighteen Hen Imprisoned-for Attempting to Kill Jeff oa vis. The Washington Star contains the following ac count of tbe esoape of the Union prisoners now in Washington: (t Over two months ago, the officers oonfined in Libby Prison conceived the idea of effecting their own exchange, and after tbe matter had been se riously discussed by seven or eight of them, they undertook to dig lor a distance toward a sewer rua nit g into the basin. This they proposed doing by commencing at a point in the cellar, near a ohimoey. This cellar was immediately under the hospital, and was the receptaole for refuse straw thrown from the beds when they were changed, and for other relate matter. COMIHO INTO THB LIGHT, “Colonel W. P. Kendrick, of West Tennessee; Captain I>. J. Jones, of the Ist Kentucky Cavalrv; anu Lieutenant K. Y. Bradford, of the 2d West Tennessee, were detailed as a guard, or rather to go out last* and from a window Colonel Ken- Click and his companions couid see the fugitives walk out of a gate at tbe other end of the enclosure of tbe carriage house, and fearlessly move off The aperture was so narrow that bu 5 one man could get through at a time, and eaoh squad carried with them provisions in a haversack. At midnight, a false alarm was cteated, and the prisoners made ooQtlder* able noise in getting to their respective quarters. Providentially, however, the guard cuspeeted no thing wrong, and in a few moments the exodus was again commenced. *' HALF-PAST TWO ASTP AI»I» r 8 WELL." “Betwten X and 2 o’clock, the lamps were ex« ticgulsbed in the streets, the exit was more safely accomplished, r There sfiN 1 many offi cers who desired to ieave. wko were .weak and feeble that they were dragged through the tunnel by main foice, and carried to places of safety, until such time as they would be able to move on their journey* At 2)£ o’clock, Captain Jooes, Colo • nel Keudrick, and Lieutenant Biadford passed out in the order in which they are named, and as Colonel Kendrick emerged from the hole, he heard theguard, within a ftw feet oi him, sing out, “Post No. 7, half-past two in the morning, ana all’s well.” Colonel K. says he could hardly resist the temptation of saying, 'not so well as you think, except for the Yanas.’ kxpbrirnce ov a party op thrkb. t: A description of tbe route pursued by this party and of tbe tribulations through whiuh they passed, will give some idea of the rough time they all had of it.

N., Jan. 11, 1884, Drab Sib: We are in the midst of the severest weather I have ever experienced in this oouutr? $ 1663 closed with one or the coldest and most fu rious storms of snow, sleet, and wind that I have ever seen, and Ushered in 1864 with the thermome ter several degreef below zero. Since then until ytaterday there has not been the slightest thaw even before the noonday sun, the mercury ranging from 4to 14 degrees above zero. The Grand and Arkansas rivers are frozen hard, and horsemen and teams cross to and fro on the ice. A view from the river bank, with the Indians walking on tne ice and carrying heavy logs of wood, remtaded me of regions far north of this. The suffering has been great. A few persons, two Greeks and a Shawnee, are reported frozen to death. The women, and children, and soldier* have had a fearful time of it, with and without tents, as you may readily imagine when my own feet, in good aooks, boots, and overshoes, feel theefteoU of frost in my place of business. Short rations, scant clothing, no houses, or shelter, amid these furious winds and pelting storms, have been fearfully distressing, aud at a meeting of some of the leaning men, the dther day, I could not restrain giving expression to feelings of pity and indignation. The contrast between the past and the present was too overwhelming to be longer borne in silence. Thtn we were more than twenty thousand strong, with a Government and laws of our own; the tun shone upon our happy homes, upon our productive fields, upon our grazing herds—now all was changed, our children no longer wended their way to school, the fire had ceased to burn on the domestic hearths, the voices of prattling children were not heard around them j hundreds of stout men, tender women, and feeble children now rest beneath these ice clods; not one bead throughout the length and breadth of the land was pillowed in peace; respectable females, who had not known want, were now seen shivering around the agent’s office, mendicants for a pair of shoes and a yard of domestle, without a morsel of bread to eat, while our cattle that grazed upon a thousand hills have disappeared, our counoil fires were.extinguished, and we had the forms but not the substance of freemen, everything being in the hands of lUlers not of their own choice; they had submittc d long enough to empty promises from con tractors for supplying them with bread, and should know of the contractor when supplies would be de livered. The commander here I believe has done, and will do, all he can to relieve the wants of the people. I attach no blame to him, but there is culpability somewhere, and, in my opinion, it rests with con tractors. There have been no issues of flour here for some time to many persons, and there is not only aoi ual destitution, but positive suffering. 'While W»tie was about Park Hill his party killed nine or ten men on that raid, including two pickets near here—Wm. O. Boas, at Park H U ; old Charles Manning, and others. In the fight at Shelton’s place he was whipped by our men, and had some of his party killed. Among the victims of violence I regret to add the name of David Yann. He was at home; a party of six men rode up to his bouse, just at dark, called him out on the porch, and snot him through the head, just above the left eye. He died instantly. His wile and daughter were present. The latter walked alone that night to Mrs. Williams’, from ten to fifteen miles, to obtain help to bury him. The deed is charged upon six white men, supposed to be Texans or Missourians, Colonel Phillips has been addressed by some of the leading men in regard to future farming opera tions.
