rleston and afterwards turned over to his master. Robert states that the Yankees are organizing companies of contrabands, at a place called "Fish Hall," or Hilton Head, and that it is their intention to from them into a regiment. He explains the modus operandi by which the negroes are induced to enter the service. Religious general impression being that their colored orator pocketed the money, and allowed the Church in Canada to look after itself. Robert reports the negroes on Hilton Head dissatisfied, and many of them anxious to escape. The island is closely guarded, and escape is next to impossible. A negro attempted to get away while he was uelly treated, and on very slight offences they are closely confined and put on breed and water. Robert's experience has given him a very unfavorable impression of the Yankee doodles generally, and of their military colony on Hilton Head particularly. From his own report he has good reasons for preferring to live in Dixie.

They are allowed no privileges and are very cruelly treated, and on very slight offences
