Returning to their homes.

During the occupancy of Culpeper county by the enemy's forces, forty negroes, the property of Charles Moncure, Esq., of that county, left their homes and sought refuge in the camps of the invaders. Since the reoccupation by our forces, thirty-nine of the forty, disgusted with their new associates, have returned to their former homes, and express themselves as entirely satisfied with their sojourn among the Yankees.
