The free Negroes. There are free negroes enough in Virginia to perform all the necessary work upon fortifications and railroads without impressing slaves for that purpose. There are enough worthless and lazy creatures of this class in our own city, who could dig sufficient dirt to make Richmond as impregnable as Gibraltar. Our authorities ought to put every one of them to the shovel and the pickaxe and make them render some consideration to the community for the bread and meat they devour. At present they are neither ornamental nor useful. It is high time they should be put to some account.
