Transcript

A lady has just arrived at Washington, from Bluffton, near Beaufort, South Caroline. She came via Richmond and Norfolk, and hence by a flag of-truce boat. She reports that the stampede of the negroes at Bluff on has ended, and that many of them were returning to work on the plantations, under the belief that they would be paid for their labor by the Government. The lady also states she has good reason to believe that the Federal prisoners at Richmond are well fed.
