INDICTED CONFEDS.-The GraucHTu of the United States Djajrict Coi yesterday returned into court inai men's against Luke Ti erm an Bri* George H. Stuart, Jr., Robert S wt Jame? R. Herbert and William 1 Goldsborough, who, as heretoft stated, ' had been presented for tr son, as having been engaged in wagi war against the United States. Bri appear od in court and gave bail w Mr. G. B. Wilson, in the sum $5,000, -to appear at trial when quired; "his own recognizance fo: similar amount being taken. The dictment against him specializes 1 11th September, 18B2, as one of 1 flays in which, with others in an kc., he invaded Washington Cona Maryland, and captured and took p nessioh'iof Hagerstown. The ind ment against the other four char ,' that on the 18th of June, 1863, th with others' in arms, invaded Ws ingten County, Maryland, and 1 raptured and took possession of C tysburg, Pennsylvania. These have not given bait on the indictmt as yet.-Baltimore American. Operation* of the Freedmen's Bsureaw. The Freedmen's Bureau has" re? ceived an official report from Gol Samuel Thomas, of nie operations of the office of the Assistant Commis? sioner of Freedmen for Mississippi, at Vicksburg, for the month of July. According to this report, improve? ments are rapidly being made in Mis? sissippi. The railroads are being re? built, roads and bridges repaired, telegraph lines extended to the" cities and towns of the interior, and in a short time communication will be easier and much more rapid. A tabular statement accompanying the report, shows that during the month 110,770 rations were furnished to freefhnen, and 9,495 to refugees. A calculation based upon the last Con? federate tax returns, and from esti? mates ' placed on the number in the several counties of the State by of? ficers and citizens, show the present number of freedmen to be about 100, 000 less than in 1861, or at the begin? ning of the war. Present number of freedmen in State, 436,600. Desti? tute and in hospital, 84,*649. It ie expected that 16,649 w ill reimburse th? Government for rations. Col. Thomas, in speaking'of the is? suing of rations,, says : "Meat and. meal captured from the Confederates, have been the principal articles thus issued, and are not the regular rations prescribed by the Wai Department. The amount of rations issued to the whites is about the same as that issued to the freedmen. . .Th*? issue to" both Classes will be rapidly reduced during August and Septem ber, but it may have to be eulargec again during the winter months tc prevent suffering. No more ratiom will be issued to people cutting wood, and the wood-yards will be clesec during this month. Mor? people ar? engaged in this business than eve: before, but they can support them .selves. Not less than 5,000 peoph are cutting wood for the steamers oi the Mississippi Iii ver." There are three orphan asylum: under charge of Col. Thomas, in re ference to which he remarks: "The; are in good condition, and have a many inmates as < can be accommo dated with the present buildings. * 1 The people of the State refuse- t< receive orphan children on the presen form of indenture, as it calls for si months schooling. They are not wi] ling to give more than three months and as a general thing refuse to ogre to give any." The colonies of freedmen workin; lands assigned them ai e all doing well Col. Thomas says: "Their crops are maturing fast. A harvest time approaches, I reduce th number, of rations issued, and comp? them to rely on their own resource} At least ten thousand bales of cotto will be raised by the people who ai conducting cotton crops on their ow account* Besides this cotton, the have fine gardens and corn enough t furnish bread for their families an food for their stock till harvest tim returns." The Treasury Department has tun ed over to the Commissioner all tb lands, houses and tenements heles?! them. This included houses in tl cities of Vicksburg and Natchez, whic were being rented from month 1 month, and the plantations leased JJ nuary 1st, 1865. In this connectic Col. Thomas says: <<Clarmaints are making great e ertions to have their property return? where it is leased, but not used for tl benefit of refugees and freedmei They agree that the President's pr clamation seoures to them the prope ty" and implies that all the proper* held by the Government should be r .stored. I find it difficult'to take pc session or any more property in tl State, as all the citizens have takt the amnesty oath, with but few exce tions, who have applied for speci pardons. * * . *. * * The feeling against taking the pr perty of the* most -violent rebels strong." Col. Thomas says he lately visit?e large portion of the State, and foul it in a much better condition than e pected. In the Eastern part, fine ero are growing; the negroes are at hoi ' working quietly ;.they have contract with their old masters at fair wag? and all seem to accept the chan without a shock, and th? citizens un in saying they will assist in patti down all abuse of the negrees, a: hope the negroes will be so control! as to make life and property seen The (otal number of emigrants' tl 1 have arrived here since 1847, woi amount, in round numbers, to th: millions. Within the past forty days four hi dred negroes have died in Moctgc ery, Ala. . / Gov. Brough, of Ohio, died on 39th ult. Mt?r?!pre??nta?toft ot tJfte SouU?. Under its editorial head the Wash? ington Union *pub?ishes the following communication : , Miesaus EDITORS: It would be amus? ing, were not the subject too serious for jest, to laugh at and disregard the gross misrepresentation of the Wash? ington Clironicle, and the "occasional" correspondent of #o Philadelphia Press, daily reproduced prominently in the former, whenever the South or a Southerner, and particularly South Carolina, or one of her citizens, is alluded to. v The most recent instance of this .occurs in the Chronicle of the 21st, where an account is given by a cor? respondent of a Cincinnati paper, of the ?trial of a Miss Nealy, of Davie County, North Carolina, at Salisbury, ? for shooting a negro, lt is headed flauntingly, "Important trial in South Carolina," and in.thetext the chivalry are, as usual in that amiable sheet, sneered at by thts use of this word, which I imagine is always accompanied by a curl upwards of the editors nose, who probably'possesses hone of the quality he holds in such contempt. ~tA few days ago, "occasional" ven? tured to designate Mrs. Jeff. Davis, a lady of unimpeached amiability and accomplishment, as "a Borgia"-a .poisoner! He also asserted that she bore the* title of Lady Davis in the South. Tlie ^first is mendacious-the second simply false. A gun-boat or ram, built at Charleston, was named the i'Lady DavTfe." and that was the only "Lady Davis" down South 'as a title. I suppose, being a "rebel" though I have taken the oath prescribed to re? invest me with my political and civil rights, I may not be privileged to de? fend anything South, even where truth would rebuke error, but I ven? ture to send you this modest protest against a spirit designed to widen the chasm whwh separates the sections. And, in closing, let me say, that if the Union is ever to be "an Union" in the only sensible sense of that term, the present fashionable mode of mis? representation and abuse by ribald pens and bad hearts must be changed, and "bye-gones be bye-genes. The Temper discovered by these modern State-savers is not inaptly il? lustrated by the anecdote of the Dutch? man who whipped his son and sat him down in a c?rner. The lad continued to snub or whimper, not being able to get over the grief of Iiis castigation soon enough to suit the impatient father, wheiv tho latter sternly? said: "Hans, wot you. "^nking?" "I'm tinking nothing, daddy.r- "Hans, you lie; you're tinking dabin, and I'll whip you again. " To my mind, this is the animus of most of the ultra papers, ? and the proud distinction of leader in the ?ne? farious work I assign to your neigh? bor, the Chronicle. . ? I hope I have betrayed no temped nor violated THE OATH. FOREIGN CIOE.VRA.NCE.-Messrs. Wil? lis & Chisolm will clear this day for Liverpool *the British barque Ex chabge, which 'vessel will have on board a cargo of 842 bales upland and 179 bales Sea Island cotton, valued at about $200,000. These gentlemeu]are loading the British barque Irma, und are daily expecting a third, wlvjch will be loaded without delay. It is their intention to have a vessel constantly'on the berth for Liverpool, so that shippers will meet with no delay. The Exchange is the first vessel that 1 cleared for a European pout since the .occupation of the city by the Union troops.-Charleston Courier. It is related of Simon Cameron* that in talking with Jefferson Davis about secession, in 1860, he told Davis that if the Southern States seceded, ruin would follow them, slavery be abo? lished, and he would, with his own hands, plant corn in tho streets of Charleston; that last spring, Mr. Ca? meron planted the corn in Charleston, as he predicted, hired a soldier to at? tend to it, and has lately received four ears of grain as the product. " A preacher once selected the follow? ing words for his"text: "The world, the flesh and the devil." Observing that he would arrange each under its proper head, he would 'commence upon the flesh, pass lightly over tho world, and hasten as fast as he could to the devil.
