All the negroes, except the men able to make soldiers and work on the fortifications, had been put out of town into shanties in the woods to shift for themselves. The Yankees have Treasury notes of all denominations down to five cents, and cent tokens made of copper.

S. nickel cents, and much superior to the old ones.
