Patriotism of a Colored man. A day or two ago a letter was received at the Treasury Department from a negro man, named Henry Jones, the property of Mr. E. Cannon, of Clarksville, in this State, which is worthy of the highest commendation, and justly entitled to be imitated by those who have been hoarding their treasure during the troubles which at present afflict the country.

In his letter he speaks of "our glorious cause," and declares that the slaves of the South have a deeper interest in the establishment of Southern independence than the white population. He thinks if the Yankees are successful the negroes are destined to the most cruel treatment at their hands.

These parties are to be heard at the next term of the Hustings Court, which meets on Monday next. On Saturday night the police arrested, in a house on the gas works lot, forty-four negroes, who had assembled there for a grand frolic.
