More Emigration. - - Another installment of 7 contrabands, from Holt County, Missouri, came over the river on Wednesday night of last week.

When asked what he was going to go at, Wils. replied: "Oh, I'm gwine to put my niggers on a farm. I've got 6 niggers, and they think they mustn't think they're free, and will have no more work to do, 'cause they are in Kansas."Date(s) of Creation
