Operations ol'thc Freedmen1? Bureau WASHINGTON, September 29.-Col Samuel Thomas, Assistant Commis sioncr of freedmen's affairs, in ai official communication,' dated Vicks burg, September 14, whilst giving Iii return for August, says the records ii that part of Mississippi are destroyed and that persons are reluctant to sup ply thc missing information. H states that 115 plantations are lease' in Louisiana-fifty-seven of them" b; whites, and fifty-eight by-blacks; alsc 13G in Mississippi-11? of them b whites, and +\venty-three by blacks. There arc ,500 acres in eighty-on plantations in Louisiana and Missii sippi leased to blacks, and 52,80 acres in tho same States, in 170 piar tations.' ?eased to whites. About om half of the land leased to whites wc abandoned, owing to the overflow ( the Mississippi. A tremendous pres sute is being brought to bear by tl: returned citizens of all classes to g< possession of their property. Thc are constantly wilting" to the Pres dent and the heads of different bi roans at Washington, filled with a kinds ol' misrepresentations in ord to effect their purposes. -The Colon says no property has been libelled f< 'confiscation, and that lie has made i .attempt to distribute lands in sni; lots to negroes, as he knew it won meei with strong opposition from ? parties. It would require time execute it. and a military force protect the freedmen during the tes of their lease. If. he adds, the militia are orgi ized, as foreshadowed by Goverr Sharkey's proclamation and endors by the President, he has no iden tl . the freedmen will remain quiet lab ors in the cotton fields. They excited and partrally armed. '1 hope of organizing the. labor of State in such a way that theffeedn ' will return to the field and recruit agricultural wealth of the State free laborers, seems to vanish \\ the promulgation, of th is militia on ' In conclusion, he says, he hears but. little trouble between freeth: and their employers. Nearly all colored people of the' State, work on plantations, have been contrac with, and the employe rs are anxi to make contracts for the year li for fear labor wiii be Hard to go the beginning of the season. CHARLOTTE MARKET. -Th? cot market ?as rather dull and heavy tho 2d inst., consequently prices g way and sales of thirty-eight bale 18'.j("21 gold, and 26@29 currer are quoted. American C iviliia Uo?. . After having considered and dilated on the high state of civilization and refinement-in "York State," tho He raid, thus treats of. the rest of the country: When we consider* philosophically the condition of the other sections of the country, we easily discover the reason of our superiority. The South we may now leave out of the account, since everything there is chaotic, its society and its institutions being in the process of thorough re-organiza? tion. But as that re-orgahizatioh i 3 occurring under New York influence -as the men, the money, the busi? ness capacity, the tact and the intelli? gence of New York are largely con? cerned in it, we may anticipate for the South a splendid future. The East is j bigoted, fanatic, transcendental, the? oretical, narrow-minded. Its people are afflicted with peculiar mental j manias. In religion, they are either ! rigidly Calvinistic or absurdly loose, ! atheistical, speculative. Their minds, j kept down by their system of educa ! tion, re-act, break from all restraints I and indulge in the most fanciful and i the most terrible license. More peo I pie go to church in New England than ?.in New York, perhaps; but there are i also more rapes; murders and other horrid and unnatural crimes commit I ted there. People starve in Massa j chusetts, a State noted for its pscudo i philanthropy and its interferences \ with the affairs of other portions of j the nation. The West, settled chiefly by emigrants from New England and from Eurdpe, has much the same cha acteristics, but upon, a somewhat dif? ferent scale. The West is even more arrogant and insolent than New Eng? land. It says the same things iii a more domineering and border-ruffian tone. If Boston and Sumner are fair repre? sentatives of New England, Chicago ? and the drunken Senators from that i region are fair representatives of the West. * Where Now England has a . finger iu everybody else's pie, the West sticks in its whole hand. New England deals in abuse; the West in downright blackguardism and a great deal of knocking down and dragging out. It is as insane as New England, and upon pretty nearly the samo topics; but the insanity is of a wilder and more' demonstrative form, and calls moro loudly for a strait waist coast. In one respect, howeverf both New England and tue West are ex? actly ?dike, and that is in regard to their marked, decided,, indisputable inferiority te New York, which is by all odds the best and proudest deve? lopment of the American nation and thc centre of American; civilization. The New York Times; speaking of Thaddeus Steven' programme of con? fiscation and extermination in the I South, says: j "We do not believe that, the people have fought this wat for the purpose of establishing at Washington the most relentless despotism the civilized world hos ever seen. Nor are they at all likely to regard the extermination of the Southern people as the. most likely means of restoring tranquility, promoting order audforming a 'more perfect Union.' If that is their tem? per and their purpose, Congress may poss such enactments as Mr. Stevens demands. Otherwise, we think thpy will hesitate about it, to say thc least. THE NUMBER OF BATTLES.-The number of battles fought during the war is given by an exchange, who we thiftk under states the number, at j two hundred and fifty-two. Of these j the soil of Virginia drank the blood of eighty-nine, Tennessee witnessed thirty-seven, Missouri twenty-five, Georgia twelve, South Carolina ten, ? North Carolina eleven, Alabama ! seven. Florida five, Kentucky four? teen, tho Indian Territory and New Mexico one each. Once tho wave of war rolled into a Northern State and broke in the great billow of Gettys? burg. Of thc battles enumerated, six? teen were naval achievements'. I JU c/i mo nd Whly. A prospectus is published in Eng I lund for tim new fortnightly steam line, with vessels of 4.

Tb.e Wilmington Herald, of the 25th, gives the following account of the mutiny that took place at Hilton, near Wilmington, on Saturday last: About 4 o'clock on Saturday after? noon, some one discharged a gun in the grounds of Company D, of this regiment, and this being" a breach of discipline, Major Wienmann, com? manding, -went into the eompany personally to find who was the guilty one. Af te? some en deavor to find the proper man,, without avail, lie called the"company into line and told them they Were there to remain until they volunteered.to tell who fired the gun. He then "went off to his quarters, leaving Hiern, standing, but had been there but a short time before^?e was informed that the company had broken ranks and were very noisy,, and disposed towards mutiny. He then ordered Company A of the regi? ment to fall into line, ahd"?buckling on Iiis side arms, he started with them, with the iutcution of putting the whole company engaged under arrest. Arriving on the front of the company street, he noticed one man who was in the act of capping his gun, and who had already his bayonet on it; he started to him for the purpose of ar? resting him, when the negro ran, at? tempting to shoot tho major as he did so, and threatening to do so at every step. The major was following him, with pistol in hand, and also attempt? ing to shoot, but from sordfe cause the pistol would not fire, four attempts being made to discharge it without effect. About this time another riot? ous* fellow was noticed, among several others, and some officer was after him, together with tho officer of the day, Lieutenant Mellen. Excitement then became high with the mutineers, and they fired several shots at the major, pursuing the first riotous soldier, but fortunately missing him, and also firing indiscriminately at the party near Lieutenant Mellen, the officer of the day; the lirstshot of this discharge entered the lieutenant's body, causing his immediate death, and the second killed a member of the company brought down to suppress the mutiny. Seeing the result of their madness, the ringleaders then fled the camp, and it was again restored to its quiet? ness. Large patrol parties were im? mediately despatched after them, but none were overtaken.'* They remain? ed out until after nightfall, when they returned, and were taken into custody and were yesterday lodged 'in the military jail in this city. They were six in number. No other disturb? ance. 1 A WONDERFUL. VINE.-A San Fran? cisco journal gives mi aeeount of a wonderful vine at Montecito, about three miles from Sunta Barbara, on the road to Buenaventura. It was planted sixty-fiye years since by Ma? dame Marcelina tie Doniiguos, wife of a Spanish veteran, who settled in Upper California, in 1790. While one day riding out tm horseback, the lady cut a vine branch at tho mission of San Antonio, to usc; it as a cutting whip. On roaching home, she plant? ed the branch, and from it bits sprung the vine which is now the wonder of California. In 1S('0V it shaded a cir? cumference of eighty feet, and its stem was twelve inches in diameter, without a lower branch than fifteen feet from the ground. It has, in some seasons, borne as many as 0,000 branches, and for the last thirty years has supplied the Domingues. family with their chief means of subsistence. Mn. JEFFERSON DAVIS.--The Alex? andria Gazelle, of Saturday last, says: "After the adjournment of the An? nual Council of Ibo Episcopal Church of Virginia, on the evening of tho 21st instant, a memorial to the Presi? dent, for the pardon ol' Jefferson Davis, was presented to the. clergy in attendance by N. li. Meave, Esq., the lay member from Winchester, for their signatures, and of the sixty clergymen present ou the occasion, fifty-two signed the paper, though Bishop Johns, in speech, opposed the measure." [Is Bishop Johns opposed to mercy?] MEMPHIS AND CHARLESTON RAIL?

Mr. Benjamin, the ex-rebel Secre tary of State, is said to be on his wa.v to Australia, witt a view to practicing I at the bar. > THE REPXTBUCANS STAGOEKED.-The New Torie Wvrld says that the action of the New York Democracy has fallen like a bomb"in the camp of the ene? my. "First blank amazement; then explosion: then commotion, scamper? ing, groans, writhing, terror, horror, and forthwith, the summoning of a general conned of war to determine what to do." The books-of the Federal under? taker at Nashville, Tennessee, show that he has buried,?since .the Federal occupation of the city, 13,631 soldiers and Government employees, (1,000 of the latter;) also, 8,000 Confederate soldiers and 10,000 contraband refu? gees. . * ? j The test oath in the new Constitu? tion of Missouri was declared violative of the Constitution ot the United!
