Wcgro Soldiers In the Camp and Hold.
Let me Bay a word about tbe negro regiments.
Tier are confined (I believe}'to oen. Butter's de
partment, and to the SeeondOorpS or Gen. Meade’s
army. If the officers serving In any of those regi
ments be ashed for their opinion, they will, without
exception, pronounce In favor of colored troops, as
being fully equal, on the whole, to white Northern
soldiers. This testimony, however, must bo received
with a grain of salt, simply because It is that of a body
of men who are filled with the esprit du corps, every
exoellenoe in which reflects credit upon themselves.
Making allowance for thJB,I think the ooolnesß shown
by the black troops under Are, while at work In the
Duteh Gap Canal, Is equal to that whioh would bo
evinced by troops of any ooloror.race. it has been
stated that they are now partly protected by the
embankment. Not fttlly, however, as the workers
are soattered over a length of probably two hundred
and fifty feet, and into the rear >oxl it la not very
difflonlt to drop shells. When the first gun, on
Tuesday forenoon, was fired, while the white spee
tator was read; to take advantage of a contigu
ous battery, Sambo worked away with apparent
tmooncem. I did not learn that there had been
a general “ skedaddle” at any time since the ground
was first broken there. In drilling, It Is admitted
by all that the black troops exeel, few of our white
regiments oomlngup with theirs, after having learn
ed the exorcise. They have largely developed that
faculty known by phrenologists as time, so that *all
will come to a halt or any motion with a precision
whioh challenges admiration. This faculty also
shows itself Jn the general exeroise of their martial
music. In the encampment on City Point the black
drum-corps Is confessedly the best to be found; and
thetreglment, whenever it goes out to drill, is sure
to draw a crowd of gratified observers.
Of the conduct in battle of negro soldiers I'have
had no opport unity to make observations, and, there
fore, can add nothing to the mass of testimony al
ready before the country. Their weak point, I think,
would be in oase a regiment were demoralized, when
that presence of mind which does so much to
make a body of men recover from a panto, would
probably be found wanting in their case. They
stampeded from the mine before Petersburg like so
many wild animals; yet It should be borne in mind
that white .sdldlers would most likely have kept
very poor order in making their escape from that
fealful slaughter-pen. It Is safe, I think, to sum up
thus: In the negro regiments more'depends on the
officers than in white rogiments. With first-class
men as leaders, there is little doubt that Ouffee out
be made to handle a musket as effectually as Mr.
Smith. But with no efficient officers,ln theeventofa
repulse, I should be afraid of a black regiment being
annihilated. Per contra, the negro is acclimated;
bcknowv the country; he has an incentive to fight
such as we palefaces cannot understand ; and he has
shown none of thabsavage ferocity which some an
ticipated. As a guard, he is as vigilant and faithful
ns could be desired; but It won’t do to attempt play
ing pranks with him, unless the offender desires to
get a punch In the ribs with the cold end of a bayo
net. They tell some amusing instances of tbe man
ner he emphasizes the word “Halt, dar!” when a
stranger happens to step up too . closely after ,
nightfall. “ Well, how do you like soldiering 1”
2 inquired of a hundred of them at different
times. ‘'Would yon rather be a slave than a sol
dier!” Nearly half the number responded affirma
tively; the others would shrug up their shoul
ders and apswer, “Dunno.sah, [never massa.] Sol
derin’ ’s putty-hard, sah.” “ But you are working
out your own freedom, boys, and that of your
children after you for all time. So never mind the
present service that you have to perform in eom
anon with ourselves for the country.” Then their
feces would lighten up, and all would reply to the
exhortation .with a " Yes, sah, we will.” Befbre
ten seconds It would not be strange If half the com
pany were not hustling one another off tholr feet,
and setting up shouts of laughter.— Correspondence

National Cemetery at Chattanooga,
01R0UX.AK.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Ang. it, 1864.—The ap.
polntments Of the National Oemetery, in‘this viol
nity, are each as should command the Interest and
aid of the nation.
The grounds are extensive, of splendid suscepti
bilities, are handsomely laid out, and surrounded
with a heavy stone wall. The seotions are accu
rately measured and finely shaped, and already
nearly five thousand martyrs of freedom have here
their final resting-place,
In all that pertains to this cemetery there has
been au effort to give expression to American ideas.
In harmony with am intense individualism, eaoh
soldier lies a separate grave, and, as far as possible/
each shall have a. separate history. And in this
commingling of the mon'from'different States, la
concentric'tiers of graves, and the radiation of the
seotions from the centre, where the great monument
Is to stand, there will be the strongest symbolic ox-'
pression of our brotherhood of freemen—of that
which is the soul of our political organism, and the
source of.out national unity.
Hitherto all the work has been done by soldiers,
and most of what remains may be done by the com
rades of the dead. Still, money will be needed to
adorn, complete, and keep in order this cemetery,
whioh Is made national by the interments of a
single week.
To raise money appropriately and effectively it is
proposed to sell approved portraits of prominent
f;enerals separately, and afterwards compile them
n a biographical work, and also to compile a work
from materials furnished by the cemetery. The lat
ter work will comprise the dedicatory address,
sketches of officers burled In the cemetery, names
of all soldfera who have been Identified before inter
ment, views on steel of the grand scenery in prox
imity, now historic from the associations of battles
and victories, views of oemetery, lithographed drafts
of seotions, battle maps, and such other matters a 3
may be pertinent. And so accurate have been the
measurements in shaping seotions and looatlng
graves, so correct will be the record of the dead, and
so full fhe representations of the cemetery in out
line and detail in this work, that any Intelligent per
son can find, with Its aid alone, the grave of every
soldier name is known.
The portraits and books will be made ready for
distribution as soon as possible, and offered for sale
In the army and throughout the country, and every
dollar accruing,' beyond aetual eost, will swell the
fund of the cemeterv.
It certainly would be consonant with the unpre
cedented liberality of onr people In contributions
for the health and comfort of our soldiers to give
eminent -suedess-to our enterprise, which proposes
lasting and appropriate honors to those who have
given their lives for their country.

MORE OF THE FRONT-STREET ROBBERY.
Thomas Holland, the proprietor of the McClellan'
House, In Dock street, below Second, and Lizzie
Hart were arraigned at the Central Station, yester
day afternoon, on the charge of being implicated
in the recent robbery of a fire-proof ohest at the
public house of Mr. Frank Ball, on Front street.
The following rather unexpected evidence was
developed:
Emma Holland (the sailor boy) was called to the
stand.. She testified that on Thanksgiving night
some men had a large black thing on a carriage,
and they stopped at her house and wanted admit
tance ; she refused them, and they went towards
Front street; Thomas Holland, her husband, was
one of the men; she heard the party the next morn
ing talk about five hundred dollars and over, and
some watches, which they had obtained.
Mr. Holland made use of some remarks of a soft
of taunting or insulting character. He charged her
with having shot a woman on the previous evening.
On this point the witness said she did not shoot a
woman; her husband was drunk, and during the
past two months had treated her in a very brutal
manner, and that on Tuesday evening he drew'a
revolver upon her; she caughtthe pistol and turned
it over his shoulder; at this moment the weapon
went off, and, it is reported, a woman was shot.
She and her husband had been bound over to an
swer.
Lizzie Hart was called to the stand. She testified
that on last Friday morning Mr. Tom Holland
handed her a little package, and told hor to keep It
for him until he asked her for it; - she kept It about
her person until apolice officer asked her for it on
Frldaynight; she then gave it to him ; She could
not understand how the officer knew she had it; she
did not know what was in the little package; she
never examined it. »
This package was a small roU of paper, contain
ing twelve pieces of ooin, four of them being foreign.
These pieces were positively Identified by Mrs.
Bail as having been with other pieces in the fire
proof that was stolen Horn her house.
Mr. Holland seemed to be very uneasy daring the
investigation. He was required to enter bail In the
sum of $3,000 to answer. Lizzie Hart was required
to recognize in the sum of $7OO. A third person
was arraigned. He was held to ball in the Sum of
$lOO to await a further hearing, the evidence so tar
being fllghtly circumstantial relative to him.
BURGLARY, ROBBERY AND ARREST.
The dwelling of Mr. E. W. Ouram, No. 32T Wash
ington avenue, wag entered sometime between ll
o’clock on Tuesday night and daybreak yesterday
morning, and robbed of a number of articles
of wearing apparel. Yesterday morning a son
of Mr. Ouram made a tour among the pawn
shops, to Inform the keepers of them of the
. robbery, and to stop any of the stolen articles that
might happen to he ottered. While on this mission,
at the establishment of Mr. Stewart, on South Sixth
street, a young man entered and offered to pawn two
coats. These were Identified as the property of Mr.
Ouram. The young man was at once taken into
custody and conducted to the Central Station, where
he was identified as John Crowley, who, a few
years since, was one of a gang of half-grown boys
who had robbed upwards of lorty dwelling ho uses
in different parts of the city, mostly in Spruce, Pine,
and Eighth streets. He was tbe little boy who crept
through the small back windows—the “Oliver
Twist”—to invade premises and then unfasten
the doors. Three years Ip the Eastern Penitentiary
added much to his figure. He is now full grown,
and not a bad-looking youngman. He was liberated
from prison several weeks sinoe.
Upon being arraigned, he assumed to have an Im
pediment in his speech, and gave the name of
Harry Allen. The evidence as to the burglary
and robbery, the arrest and recovery of the stolen
goods having been elicited, the prisoner was asked
if he had anything to say. He replied that he was
standing at Sixth and Sprnoe streets, in the morn
ing early, and a strange man came along and
handed him the coats, with the request to pawn
them. Further than this he knew nothing. He
said he was an oak cooper by trade, worked for a
firm on Water street, below Walnut, about a year
since, but slnee that time had been engaged in
opening oysters on Spruce-street wharf. To the un
initiated this story would appear piadslble. The
prisoner was committed in de&ult of $3,000 to
answer at court.
MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.
James McCarter was arraigned at the Central
Station, on the charge of malicious mischief. It
seems that he was driving a loaded wagon, yester
day afternoon, on the railroad track on Ninth street,
above Chestnut. A man named Wm. Middleton
was driving a light wagon on the track, in a contra*
aireotlon. The parties met and came to a halt.
Neither would give way for the other. A police
officer ordered McCarter to turn off, as the other
man had the right to the track. McC. was not in a
very pleasant mood, and In turning off the rails
drove his wagon into the legs of Mr. Middleton’s
horse, and considerably' Injured the animal. The
spectators were horrified at such a display ,of
wantonness. The fellow was at bnoe taken Into
custody. He was committed In default of *BOO to
answer at court.

tag to the testimony for the prosecution, a number'
of men were at the Hand-iu-Hand Engine Com
pany’s house In Ninth street, near Poplar, firing
off a gun. The defendant being a policeman on his
beat, near Ninth and Poplar, sent a messenger re
questing that the firing should cease. This message
was disregarded, and the gun was again fired. A
second messenger was again despatched with a like
request, which was also disregarded, and the gun
again discharged. It was then, however, put away,
and Mayberry, the deceased,who had been one of the.
persons in possession of and firing the gun, proceeded
down the streetto where the defendant, Walton, was
standing. A disensaion then arose between the two
aa to what might be considered the arrival of the
