Contrabands Bound for Washington.

--The National Intelligencer contains the following from a correspondent:

Dear "National:"

--This morning, 16th September, coming from the Chain Bridge, I met and talked with fourteen ‘"contrabands"’--fine, hearty young negroes — from near our lines in Virginia, the old price of which ‘"chattels," ’ now under process of confiscation and loss by Southern insanity, could not be less than $10,000 or $12,000. What has the South done to herself? Committed suicide. Destroyed her own cherished institution. How true, ‘"Quem Deus. "’ &c.

Eye-Witness.
