"Old Uncle Ned."
--Capt. Travis, who is now Inspector of Arms in Gen. West's district, informs us that while he was at Grenada, a venerable old darkey, "Uncle Ned, " gave to the Confederacy two bullet moulds that run thirty balls at a time, valued at sixty dollars, a very fine shot-gun that carries twenty-five buck-shot, and two Queen Anne muskets.
Ned refused to take any pay, but gave up his arms "for the good ob Massa Jeff Davis and de Souf."--Vicksburg paper.
