A humorous, sentimental, religious, dramatic and literary entertainment was given by "de colored folks" in the Wesley (African) Church, on last Thursday and Friday nights. Owing to the prevalence of small-pox lately among the "Sable sons and daughters," the "white folks["] were prevented from attending. The performers however, entertained a large and respectable audience of the kindred hue, and from all accounts the affair was one "long to be remembered."

Our Citizens in Richmond

Excerpt:

"Our men have been removed from Libby Prison to castle Lightning, a place within the city but some distance from Libby Prison."

Full Text of Article

A late letter from Perry A. Rice states a few items of general interest. Our men have been removed from Libby Prison to castle Lightning, a place within the city but some distance from Libby Prison. Mr. Rice says nothing about their having received the money sent by our council, but we infer its reception from the fact of his mentioning new clothing made for them by Mr. Shafer. They are well, except occasional brushes resulting from their diet and way of life. They have no hope of exchange; indeed it is rumored that they will be sent further south, in order to keep them with greater safety and at less expense. It is painful to record such news, and our community deeply sympathizes with the families and friends of these unfortunate men.--Mercersburg Journal.
