WA>UINGTON, May 12.
Generals Steertman and Fullerton, com
missioners appointed by the President to in
Ve-stis-atc tLe operations of the Frr>edmnn's
Bureau in Southern States, have reported us
to Virgioia and North Carolina. They give
instances of the dishonesty and arbitiary
power exercised by somo of the officers and
agent* of the' Bureau in rnakirg arrests, im
posing fines, and indicting punishments, dis
regarding tbe local laws, and especially tho
statutes of limitations, thus creating pn-ju
diee against tho Government. They, there
fore, recommend the withdrawal of tho offi
cers of the Bureau, and all the transference
to officers commanding the traops of such du
ties as k may still be necessary to perform in
connection with the freedmen.
Hon. and Mrs. Jeifcrsou Davis.
FORTRESS MONROE, May 4, IsGS.
Mrs. Jet?. Davis hus taken up her quarters
inside the fort. She remained there last night,
having previously sent for her baggage and
roan servant. Dr. Cooper, Post Surgeon, and,
by virtue of such position, the medical atten
dant of Mr. Davis, has given her apartment.?
JO the hoUSe OCClinifil hy hjmnnlf OJ^A
The Docer, it will be remembered, is not on
ly the medical adviser of Mr. Davis, but also
famishes him his meals from his own table.
Mrs. Davis obtained permission to vist her
husband direct from President Johnson. But
tho permisi?n was given u ider certain re
Striction* though with a liberality of indul
gence that greatly surprises very many here.
The reMrictions are that she is not to use any
iDllueuce or contribute any aid to the rescue
of Mr. Davis or his release otherwise than
through the proper Government channel.?.
The indulgence granted her admits her to
unconstrained interviews with ber husband,
and at all hours of the day between reveille
aud sunset, lt is uot enjoined that an ollicer
shall be in the room with them, neither ?3 it
forbidden. lu tLe absence of such injunction,
General Miles to-day allowed lier to visit ber
husband unattended by an officer. A senti
nel, however, walks back and forth continu
ally in front of the barred windows of his
rrtom. Last, and not least, no limit ?3 placed
upon the length of her visit.
In answtr to a question how long she pro
posed to make her visit, Mrs. Davis said em
phatically, " I intend to remain until Mr. Da
vis is ordered away for trial, or he is released
from prison or dies." And abo is a woman
of that decision and spirit tbat she will do
what she says, unless some intermediate in
terdiction occurs to prevent it. She evident
ly has no such fears, and it is believed she
knows too well the tenure of her sojourn, to
allow herself to entertain any such appro
hensions.
lt id natural for women to be enthusiastic,
particularly when their strongest affections
nnd more Cherished hopes are interested.
Mrs. Davis is probably not an exception. It
is certain that she is enthusnstioal y hopeful
reg? .ding the future of Mr. Davis. She ex
presses the sure belief that he will very soon
be released on his parole. It is possible that
the wish in burease is father lo the thought,
but 3he talks with that degree of assurance
on the topic carrying conviction of a stronger
basis for the belief she expresses than idle
sunnisej founded on delusive hope. There
pijgbi be persons, she says, who would like to
rescue Mr. Davis from prison, but she scouts
the idea of bis accepting any such release.
Ile will not go away from here, she declares,
unless in a mannet-comporting with his sense
of high honor ; and 6bc claims for bim a punc
tilio of honor partaking of the ohi valry of thc
o!d knights of the media-val ages. On the
subject of parole 6be insists with equal em
pljatf? that be would sacrifice his life before
violating his parole.
Another correspondent, noticing Mrs. Da
vis' visit (o Fortress Monroe, say?: Mrs, Davis
ii permitted to. visit her husband at a'l hours
between reveille and tattoo, and is not atten
ded by a guard as has b-ien stated, though
thc guard walk? their rounds before his win
dow continually. Mrs. Davis has leave to
utay as long as she pleases, and declares that
she will remain until Mr. D.ivis is released,
or until he sbaJI die. She is tenderly looking
after the f?iKng state of her husband's health,
and entertains, it is said, serious fears of bit
ultimate recovery, should bo be attacked, dur
inethe corni'gsutnuicr, b .-one of his p.-riodita'
spells of intermitting fever, cr congestive
.chills.
Jue general health of Mr. Davis remains
eoojpjiMtively good, and it is only tho long
impri-wunr-mt thal be has been subjected to,
awl ibo -nany anxious fears and doubts which
biwe w dgltf-d so heavily upon his mind, that
has produced the very neticsable cbaiige ir
his appearance during the past year.

NATIONAL BANKS -The Merchants' Nation
al Bank of Washington, says the Richmond
Times, exploded on Friday, and, as a matter
of course, the depositors have lost terribly.
The collapse of one of these new fangled banks
does not, in tho slightest degree, impair thc
value of their bills, au they are all secured hy
the United States securities, which are de
posited with the Government. The case is
very differeut with the depositors, however,
and upou them the loss is very great where,
either through mismanagement or fraud, a
national bank collapses. The fate of the
Washington bank will, we fear, be that of a
multitude of these mush-room institutions,
whose rapid increase at the South seems lo
increase rather than diminish the difficulty
of obtaining money at legal rates of interest.
Where, however, the management of these
banks is in the band;: of those of our citizens
whose probity and experience is well known,
they are exceedingly safe colicers j but the
Southern people should take care that their
funds .-hould not be entrusted to irrespousi
ble adventurers, of whose Capacity and integ
rity nothing is known.
The Devil Provides for his Own.
Thad. Stevens, the acknowledged leader rf
th: dominant party in Congress, used the
following language ic a speech on the 7?h :
He believed that this Congress would not
approach the lull measure of justice till every
lull grown freedman in the late rebel States
was provided with a homestead on 'he land
where he had toiled as a slave. Forty acres
of land and a but would be of more value to
them than tba right to vote.
This debauched old miscegenator bas a
deeper practical interest in the welfare of the
colored race than most of his own perhnp*; but
this grave proposition of a wholesale robbery
of the white land holders' fir the benefit of
the black is so monstrous that thc decent
freedmen in the South would spurn it with
contempt. They feel themselves able to
support themselves without robbing those
who have done more for their race than any
other people on earth. They know that the
attempt to carry out such monstrous ideas
must and ought to lead to a war of races,
and that a war of races moans extermination
to thein.?
If Seyens really loves the uegro, as his
whole life would indicate, he has a mad way
of showing his affection.-Chronicle & Sen

AN ISLAND OF SAi.T-The New Orleans Times
gives au extended account of what is consid
ered the pu lest and most important natural
deposit of salt in the world, located on the
Louisiana coast, at Petit Anne island. The
depos t was known as long ago as lu'98-99,
but all knowledge of it appears to have been
lost until the commencement of the recent
war. .During that period, when tho supply
from other sources was cut off, the mine was
discovered by residenls of the interior, who
had resorted to the island for the purpose of
procuring sall by boiling, and for two years
nearly the whole of thj traus-Mi-sissippi re
gion was supplied from that source, no less
than ??1,000 pounds laving been taken from
it iu three mouths. When thc island passed
into the bauds of the Federal foroe-', the works,
buildings, ?Lc, were destroyed, bat it has re
cently been purchased by Messrs. C. W. Weed,
of New Orleans, and F. J. Pratt, of Hawkins,
Pratt St Co., of New York, who, in devolop
ing the property, have found the salt rock
from thirteen to twenty two feet below the
surface, extending over a great number of
acres. Pits of over forty feel ?ii depth have (
been sunk through the salt without finding
my indication of retching bottom. The.salt

?he Freedmen's Courts Decided to be
Trespassers.
Judge Triggs,Yuf tbe United States District
'ourt uf Metnph s has pronounced a decision
a the cuse nf un application fur an injunction
gainst the exmtion by Gene;al Ru?kle, Su
erintende.Mt of the Freedmen'1. Bureau, of a
ldgment rendered by Gen. R. in favor oT a
recdmnn, according to which it is held ?bat
hese Bureau court.* arc ttespasse'rsj and lia
ile to be proceeded against by the. courts ol
he Siales us other trespasser*.
Juline Triggs decides that the Freedmen's
iuieau courts could ouly exercise authority
tnder the law.
He saj!-:
If these courts could exercise any legiti
nate authority, or claim for their judgments
>r dr cree* any binding effect or efficiency,
hey could only do so by virtue of their con
lea iou with the military power. * * *
L'he recent proclamation of thc President of ?
he United States, declaring that an iu>urrec
iuu no longer exists, is a declaration of peace,
vhich sweeps from among us everything
vhich savors of military constraint a] on the
ights of citizens, and rectores io them the
u dinarv and peaceful channels for thu J ador
ion and enforcement of these rights. * * *
l'he war be'ng ended, that in sm end to the
'ourt, and there being no longer any such
.ourt, the officer ol the Bureau hhs no longer
luthority to act ?tl that capacity, and to en?
urce judgments or orders, whether made bo
ore or since thc declaration of peace. If
ie does so, and under that pretext seizes the
property of a citizen, he will become a tres
>asser, and may be held liable for damages
o the party injured.
Fno.M Son H-WKSTERN GEORGIA.-A letter
0 the Atlanta Bulletin from Newton. Baker
.ounty, Gi., dated April 30tb, says our plan
ers are Very much perplexed at thc actings
ind doings of their Cotton. It appears, tint
ifter coming up, it takes a sudden notion,
d'ter presenting, tor a few days, a beautiful
md healthful appearance, to die, leaving
dithered yellow ?eaves to mark ita hasty fare
welt. I have heard recently of a gi eat tit-rn*
XT of instances where this sad occurrence to
formers has taken place. The small end of
:he cotton seed containing the germ, or root.
>wing to the age of the seed, seems-to have
ost a part of its vital energy. Hence, not
withstanding the leaves come forth, yet, hav
ng no root to sustain it, it withers and dies
tfter a brief existence. Not only in this
JU a H ty have I heard this fact complained of,
but in many others.

DEATH OF THE OLDEST CITIZEN.-Mr. Ben
jamin Bawls, thc oldest citizen of Columbia,
breathed his last yesterday afternoon, at half
past 4 o'clock. At this late hour, we can
not pretend to give an outline of his life. He
was a man of strict integrity in every relation
af life, and we leave to some one more com
petent and intimately associated with him to
iive a more hooorable and deserving notice.
He died at the mature age of ninety-four years;
and tho letter wc published from his pen,
x few weeks ago, to Gen. Sherman, shows
that there wa ? no declension in his mental
powers.-Columbia Phoenix, 10th.
THE GERMAN* TROUBLES.-The impression
prevails that the difficulties between Austrin
?nd Prussia will be amicably adjusted. News
brought by steamers lately arrived, represent
1 restoration of confidence in commercial cir
des. The report that Italy had entered into
in offensive and defensive league with Austria
wants confirmation. Daring the progress ot
this European excitement, France has re
mained a reticent observer. No doubt can
be entertained, however, that Napoleon has
decided as to the course he will pursue should
events culminate iu a war between A'istria
iiud Prussia. Napoleon is a Jeep thinker,
md when he strikes a blow it is not always
in behalf of the weak or oppressed. His traits
af self ambition are easily discernable, and
it is for the purpose of gratifying them that
most of his war measures are concocted.
BRUNSWICK.-The Brunswick correspon
>f the 26th ult., writes as follows : -
From present indications, Brunswick bids
rair to become the Bangor of the South
l'hrce months since there was but ono saw
nill in the place, and that not in operation
N'ow, there arc two in full blast, with some
;ix others commenced, and as many more
iroaking ground. The mills obtain their
upply logs from the Saltillo, Altamaha,
)conee and Ocmulgee rivers. It has been
idly demonstrated that timber can be either
afted by hand, or towed by steamer from
he Altahama or Saltillo rivers to Brunswick,
t from 25 to 50 cents per thoutiaud feet, and
umber men are fast becoming convinced that
he expense of rafting is much more than
eutralized by the advantages which Bruns
riek possesses in health and situation, coa
ling the owners of mills to superintend them
i person nt all seasons of tho year, and per
lifting vessels to loud directly at the mills,
lereby avoiding expense of lighterage and
amage to lumber usually incurred iu lighter
ig. It is estimated the shipments of timber
id lumber from this port the present season
ill exceed twenty million feet.
?3lT The Columbus (Ga.) Sun says:
We met with a South Carolinian recently
ho has beon travelling on business since
ebruary through West Tennessee, Arkansas,
issiasippi and the upper portions of Lou .si -
ia. He ?ays he found the people getting on
uch better than we expected. The negroes
t remaining in those sections, and those car
id there this spring from Georgia and the
irolinas, were behaving themselves wei',
d were working much better than had been
ticipated-performing about two-thirds the
3or they did under the old labor system.
: found the planters hopeful, and pursuing
?ir avocations with energy. He says the
pression among the planters-judging from
i labor now engaged in agriculture corn
red with former years-calculate on a lit
over one third of the yield of I860 and
31. He found a great quantity of produc
e lands uncultivated.
VEXAS.-The Galveston papers say that the
ton crop is promising. More has been
ntod than ever before in ono year ; much
it silk cotton, approximating to sea island.
3 wheat crop will probably be the largest
r reaped. Travelers in Northern Texas
ort that farmers are gettiug on very well,
h abundance of meats and breadstuff's,
i freedmen are said to be doing very well.
Sr* It is said Pr?sidant Johnson will voto the

Glad to hear iL

said that Congress must increase the army,
