From Harper's Ferry |
Two car-loads of negroes arrived in this
city yesterday, by the {Virginia} Central Railroad,
direct from Harper's Ferry. Included in the number were men, women,
and children. They are the property of citizens of Virginia
living in the vicinity of the Ferry, and are part of those found with
the Yankees after their capitulation to the forces of Gen. Jackson.
Their masters propose to offer them for sale in Richmond, not deeming them desirable servants after having associated with the
Yankees. |
