us having been told him by provost Marsh
al Diun,of Si. Imis in proof of nn assertion
tlmt die proclamation or freedom has done
more lo weaken the rebellion und prevent
foreign recognition than uny other measure
that could have been adopted:
" On his late vlsii to my home ho Informed
me that he had brought on a large number
of ltubel officers uud men to to exchunged
ut Fortress Monroe. During their passage
he took the opxirlunity to ask the officers
in a body what ifTect tho President's proc
lamitiou of freedom had had In Ihe South.
Their reply was (to ure their own vulgar
expression), thai Ml had played hell with
than.' Mr. Dcuii then asked Ihem how
that could bo possible since the negroes
cannot read. To which ono of tlim re
plied that one nf hi negroes had told him
of tho proclamation fivo day before he
hoard It in any other wny, Others Mild
their negroes gavo them their first lutlma
lion of the proclamation. Ono or these
officers then mid with a defiant air, that If
we would only Imvo them their corn, their
bacon and their homespun, which their
negroes produced, they would llht us
twenty years."
It must bo ery hot In the south. A
cotemporary says n small negro boy Injudi

ho began to soften, nnd In Ihreo qunrlers of
