With tho result ef the interview our citi ./ens have every cause Tor congatulation. AJj though civil power is not yet fully restored, martial law ami the suspension of the writ of Habeas Corpus f-till remaining, it is evident that the Government ia anxioni to complete the work of restoration as rapidly a> possible.

Callicot, Supervising Special Agent, it will be seen that all applications for the re storation of lands and houses now held as .. captured or abandoned properly," are .to bc mad'* to General Howard, the. Chief of the ?reedmeu':-- Burean, a? Washington. .W^are gratified at this ?nnotiuccmotit, as showing a disposition on the part of tho Government to put things ia a collrae of justice, and to this eud establishing in thc Bureau a judicial authority which may be invoked in behalf of the citizen. It is well known that by much the largest proportion of th3 property, real and personal, now ia possession of the agents oftheFrecdme 's Bureau, though vacant at the time of seizure, was not " abandoned property" ira the.sense of the Acts of Con gress rela ing to the subject. But this in discriminate s? izure, when once m-ide and rec rd? in thv registry of thc Department, passed beyond the control of subordinate a^ouix, wno were invented with no judicial power to try claims relative to the property in their custody. Hence our citizens, very many of them, have for many months been suffering under a privat ion of property not in accordance with a correct construction of the law, and yet having no redress for the want of some tribunal ?aviug authority to inquire into and adjudge their ciaiiu*. We are glad to ace*that this great grievance is to bo rc dressed. Genend Howard, the hoad of the Bureau, is now reidy to receive all applica - tious for a release of property from those who are advised that they are not within fha meaning of the luw. We aro pleaded also to learn tr<5tn ibo law uoiicc of J. W. Wilkin son, E^q., published in our columns to-day, that prompt arrangements hhV-tbeen made . to facilitate, by hi3 residence at Washington, applications for thc restoration ol' property. By prompt attention lo tie means now open forrest or ng themselves to their full and com plete pghts of p:op:riv, it is to be hoped that oar citizens will in a short whilo become once moro tm owners instead of the Ic-ses of their homesteads.-Charleston Cornier, 5th inst. --???.

What wo have d"scribed briefly. for tho subject is darkling and unpleasant, would uko place even if emancipation had bceu gradual, and pre paredrfor by wise precautions. But its sudden ness, and tho gcucral destitution prevailing in tho South at tho time it takes place, will terribly ag gravate its evils and accelerate the ?teps by whii-h thc negroes aro doomed to extinction. Perhaps one-third of the emancipated ure children, inca pable, undor any circumstances, ?f tabing eire of themselves. Thrown loose, without protector?, in the very crisis of a destitution, s mounting in largo sections to actual dearth, they will be swept away by scores of .thousands ; their parent*, in uuay cases, perishing wUhtbem. This wwrk of destruction is already proceeding with great ra pidity. Tho derangement of Southern industry ix ao great that fearfully little ?ill l>o raised ibia year; and tho next year will also be a year ol great scarcity ia the south. Jl people, above n'l o'hers unfitted to strugglo wiih ditEcukie.-, com mence their lifo of freedom ia a state of absolute beggury, and in a community which bus wasted all its resources in along war. A more unfavorable combination of circumstances cu snot be imagined. The figures of tho next census may, therefore, be expected to tell a fearful "tal a of extermination. But even wor*c evils {fa worsu bo possible) seems te bo ia store for this doomod race.

A prolonged dearth so debilitates tho constitution of people who have subsisted ou insuQcient or unwholesome food, that they fail an c.-.-y prey t? pestiienro.
