The Richmond Examiner has found a black Union man in that city, of which the editor speaks as follows: Allen, slave of Richard Whitfield, was yesterday arrested by officer Chalkley, of the city police, on the charge of having proclaimed that Jeff. Davis was a rebel, and that he (Allen) acknowledged no man as his master. This fellow should be whipped every day until he confesses what white man put these notions in his head.

rms of former prison friends and associates-shabbily dressed, torn, tattered and threadbare—they don't look like gentlemen. This is a matter of the slightest moment—they were my comrades in the sorsowful past and I love them. Yet I like not having to recall them in the bygone events through which they moved; hence the value of the printed roster. Here are seven Virginia officers whose names have been omitted in the list. They all embarked with the 600 on the Crescent City; they all returned to Virginia before the close of the war, and doubtless they are all now dead. Colonel Woolfolk, Orange county, Va., ranking officer of the Virginians. Major Evan Rice, Tappahannock, Va. Captain Chalkley, Chesterfield county, Va. Captain Fitzgerald, Norfolk, Va.

Then, suddenly, as if to save The good man from his living grave, A ripple on the water grew, A school of porpoise flashed in view. ‘Take, eat,’

eep freighted with the princely slave. Did all the gods of Afric sleep, Forgetful of their guardian love, When the white traitors of the deep Betrayed him in the palmy grove? A chief of Gambia's golden shore, Whose arm the band of warriors led, Perhaps the lord of boundless power, By whom the foodless poor were fed. Does not the voice of reason cry, Claim the first right which nature gave; From the red scourge of bondage fly, Nor deign to live a burdened slave? “ Note 4, page 145. Chalkley's own narrative of this incident, as given in his Journal, is as follows: To stop their murmuring, I told them they should not need to cast lots, which was usual in such cases, which of us should die first, for I would freely offer up my life to do them good. One said, God bless you! I will not eat any of you. Another said, He would die before he would eat any of me; and so said several. I can truly say, on that occasion, at that time, my life was not dear to me, and that I was serious

Desperate Negro --Assault and Escape.--Yesterday morning, officer Chalkley encountered a negro named Thomas Guinn, who represented himself to be free, but had no papers. The officer arrested him after a hard struggle, and conducted him to the watch-house, where he was placed in one of the cells. During the day the negro made frequent calls for water, which was supplied at proper intervals. In the afternoon, officer Page and Capt. Wilkinson were sitting in an adjacent apartment, and the negro continuing his calls, Mr. Page got up and went to his cell. As soon as the door was opened, the negro made a rush, knocked the officer down, and fled down the steps to the street. Capt. Wilkinson instantly followed, but was unable to overtake him, and he succeeded in making his escape, Mr. Page, who is old and feeble, was very badly injured and had to be conveyed to his residence in a carriage.

Suspicious character. --Officer Chalkley, yesterday afternoon, succeeded in arresting and caging a man who calls himself Marion F. Barbier, as a suspicious character. For two years past Barbier has resided near "Cedar Point," Goochland county, where he was in the employ of a person called Drumwright, the keeper of a small grocery. Some few days since, the residents of the neighborhood, on learning that Drumwright had conspired with two negroes owned by Mr. Turner, to murder their master while on his way home, and rob him of his money, assembled and attempted to catch both Drumwright and Barbier, but the former made good his escape.--They, however, captured Barbier, and after consulting together, put him on a canal boat and ordered him to leave the county, never to return again. Barbier came to this city, and at once wrote to "Nora," a negro slave owned by Drumwright, inviting her to join him here, and accompany him to the North. As soon as this correspondence was discovered,
