fourteenth annual session of this body convenes in the
City of Chicago to-day, and is expected to be one of the
largest ever held since its organization, some thirteen
years ago. It is composed of delegates from ?U the local
Unions in the United States-now numbering some
eighty or moro-each Union being entitled to three re?
presentatives, althouhh the greater number send but
.One. It is the mos t thoroughly organized trades Union
in the country, abd the laws which are promulgated by
it are .generally carefully prepared and well discussed,
in or'er that they may not conflict with any local inter?
ests either of employer, or employee.
In 1861, when the Southern States were about seced?

"?e flrst, to withdraw all allegiance from the national
organization; and at the close Of the war they were the

JAOKSOKVTLLIS, FLA.-; MBV ?8,1868.-On Sunday morn
lug last Generals Steedman and Full?MM} having" com?
pleted theirinspeotloiaof the S> Mandsty 8onth; Car?

bor by the colored pilot Small, who now commands her.
i PBOSPEB??8 CONDITION ?F THE FBBEDMEN.
The- oonditlon o? ??e freedmen on these islands is
very far in advance of anything we hod seen in South
Carolina. ? There could hardly be a greater contrast
than 'that between the squalid, M-fed, poorly paid ne?
groes of Edle to and Wadmalaw Islands, and the sturdy,
well-oared for freedmen of St. Catherine's, Sapelo and
St anion'a Islands'. We landed at each of those points,
and General Steadman examined the.planters, tee Bu?
reau officers to the freedmen, eliciting many facts of a
noteworthy character.In the first, place, he found
northern men leasing plantations and conducting them
not only with great business ability, but with marked
kindness and liberality towards their negro laborers. I
am glad to record this faot as some set-off to the grasp?
ing oppressions of Underwood and other New Eng?
land men in South Carolina. On St. Catherine's
Island Messrs. Winchester and Schuyler, both New
Yorkers, who have leased the princely domain of Mr.
Walburg, containing seventeen thousand acres of
land, ag Deautiful and ploturesqne ?s they are fertile,
with forests abounding with wild deer and all kinds of
game, have nearly a hundred and Aft / negroes on their
plantation, At the other end of the island there are
four or five hundred free lmen who are cul tl vail i g land
for themselves; y et the Walburga negroes, who, are only
half at numerous, have twice as muoh cotton in cultivar
tion, and according ta present appearances, will fae ten
times better off. at the end of this year than tho ie ne?
groes wh? have h|d land allotted to them. This is but
another illustration of the faot which I have previously
mentioned, namely, that the experiment of making tte
nneduoited plantation negro a planter oa his own bo*
oount iran utter and unmitigated fallare, injurious to
the negro himself and tb the oomrctraity in which he
lives. Th? e?oher the few valid land certificates Issued
under General Sherman's order are bought up by the
Government the better. It ?iii remove a fruitful source
o??ealousy eh? ill feeling amona the blacks themselvos,
lee^ the rtik of hofriendly pulsion with the wzltea,
and in th?? end be muon better tot all concerned. On
Bspelo Island Messrs. Dixon and McBride, Northern
men also, are running a fine plantation with success,
?ad am treatintf their taborer* vrith eqnalBberallt}!;, and
on St, Simon's Island a state of things almost as satis?
factory prevails. . The CottorE orpjB ,everywhoio,.look
most flo urishing, and if things go .On as well BB they
now promise, many, of the freedmen who are working
on shares will come into possession of qult? a bandi onie
sum of money in the fall. ? ''????<

of this prosperity lien on the surface. The affaii'sof
the Freedmen's Bureau in Georgia havebeen adminis?
tered by capable and honest men. Happily for this.
State tho Assistant Commissioner lias not, like Colonel
Whlttleaey, of North Carolina, thought lt necessary to
encourage: industry by running thebes* plantations in
the State for his, personal emolument. It is^perhaps,
for this reason we have found: in Georgia no Bev. wi?

Carolina, Georgia and. Florida. Like his colleague,
General Scott, of South Carolina, General Tilson found
an augean task before hin., and set about it with a will.
The islands X have named, and where ihatt?r?are pro?
gressing so favorably,_wer* then in ? ?tate of anarchy
wd bpen'r?bellion. ,,Th? negroes held exclusive pos?
session of th?m and would allow no white man to land
except a few fanatical agitators, who have been mainly,
instrumental in stirring them np to this pitch of fren
sled madhoBS. On St. Oathaltars Island the territorial
aspirations of th? negroes received their richest de?
velopment and culminated in the virtual establishment
of? " ' j' ''"?1 ''.'.:
. : NIQOEE EMPIBB,
whioh came about in thia wey. A full blooded negro,
named Tunis G. Campbell, a son cf a praaoher hailing
from New Brunswick, British America, possessed ,of
some little education and muoh otjining and unbound?
ed ambition, was appointed an agent of-the Bureau, un
der General Saxton, and assigned to th? charge of St.
Catharine's and Ossabaw Islands, at that tune occupied
exclusively by the negroes who bad lived there as slaves
and by colored refugees who baili oome there to avail
themselves of General Sherman's order. A very simple
form of government had been improvised tor their1
guidance, and some .three or fouiiof their number bad
een appointed to, see justice done among them. This
ay stem of governmenCwas far tooaimple for Mr. Camp?
bell's ideas. He at onee upset and turned the old resi?
dent negroes ont of, their cabins, tailing them they were
only ''refugees" but that,? they, ?he neW comers) were
"American oltlaeno.",:. He then jet to w?lk and organ?
ized a little empire of his' own. tating for his model the
Constitution of the United States] but reserving therein
so strong a spice of autocratic pbyer for himself that he
was ever afterwards known and spoken of. as the Ty?
coon, I had tho felicity whila in St. Catherine's of
looking Info the laws and constitution of the empire.
There was a senate composed of eight members, four
elected from the north side of the island, and four
from the south; a house of rep 'esentatives, compris?
ing twenty members, ten repr senting the north and
ten the south. There was a sup erne court and a court
of common pleas, There were magistrates, sheriffs,
town cloika, coroners, and everyjoffloer downto a road
master. It waa provided that Ul bills must originate
with the House of Bepresenta ives, be passed by the
Senate and approved by theSnpi rintendent (or Tycoon),
A majority of two-thirds oarriid a measur? over the
head of the Senate; but the righ of veto waa in all oases
reserved to the Superintendent. This saving clause
waa repeated with emphatlo Uer tion at the end of every
important article of the Constiti tion. This Chief Jus
tloe of the Supreme Court was ei ipowered, among other
duties, to preside in the police court (in conjunction
with the Superintendent), and td charge five-and-twenty
cents each for the' issuing o: rammonses, Appeals
from his decision might be tabei to. the Supreme Court,
where they would be heard by tte Chief Justice (in con?
junction with the Buperintendei t). Toseoure due ob?
servance of these regulations, E ng Compbell Ii1 raised
a standing army, placed guards md piokets round the
coast, ana forbade any white nan to land under peril
of his Ufe. Everything being hus established to his
satisfaction, he convened his Cabinet together and
issued the foUowing
PBOCLAMATION.
Whereas we, through the goodness of God, the Su?
preme Being, havo prospered upon this island, and
whereas we feel now the influence of the boon of free?
dom, whioh we beUeve emanated from God.
Therefore I, Tonia G. Campbell, Agent of the Bureau
of Freedmen, Befogees, and Abandoned Lands for St,
Catherine's and Ossabaw Islands, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the President of the United
Statesand Brigadier-General Saxton, do issue this my
proclamation, that the people do assemble on December
6, 1865, at their ohurohes, and invoke Divine aid and re?
turn thanks for His great merer in delivering us from
the bond of slavery, and all other merdea vouchsafed
to us.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand
and seal. TUNIS G. CAMPBELL, Superintendent.
-HOWABP, Secretary.
It was only with great difficulty that General Tilson
succeeded in deposing Tycoon Campbell from his throne
andreduolng him to the subordinate position he was
more qualified to fill I met the ex-monarch at Savan?
nah, where he was playing the humble rofe of delegate
to the Convention of the African Episcopal Church, as?
sembled in that city.- He seemed to bear his misfor?
tunes with pious equanimity, contenting himself by In?
sinuating groundless charg?s against the agent of the
Bureau who had succeeded him. I saw, also, at Sapelo
Island, the ex-Chief Justice/ of the Supreme Court-a
full blooded Congo, atUred in a brown mottled blouse,
dark trousers and a dirty shirl, but bearing withal an as.
peot of dignified reserve which Mr. Ohase him?elf oould
hardly surpass., I restrained my risible tendencies, not
knowing whether Congress might not soon reinstate
hhn in his judicial position, and thuB subject me to the
dire pains and penalties of a contempt of court.

te Fernandina, reaching that.polnt on Monday night.
Here the negroes are doing admirably. There are about
a thousand of them on the island. Tho .men work at
"logging," earningiwenty-six dellars a month, and the
Women meanwhile cultivate little patches of lindi plant?
ing cort, cofto?' and potatoes. The agent Of the Bu?
reau here is Captain Iienny, a genial, honest Irishman..
TIIOUBLK DREW INO.
Notwithstanding the fair appearance of things on the-,
surface there is some danger at Fernandina, and you
need hardly be surprised to bear of a repetition of the
Memphis and Newborn massacres in this department of
th? South. The danger arises' out of a ? matter which
does not, at first sight, seem to bear any relation, to the
position of the whites and negroes, viz :-the sale ol
rebel property In the South by the Tax Commissioners.
A special Commissioner has been sent by tba President
to investigate those proceedings here, and also at Angus-,
tine and. Beaufort, I have reason to believe bis Inquiry
will disclose' a succession of gigantic frauds pervading
these sales from beginning to end. In s te??os have been
mentioned to me of property worth three thousand dol?
lars being disposed of for less than twenty dollars; of
numerous lots being bound in, and of illegalities of the
most palpable character being committed all round.
Under those circumstances, it ls evident that the titles
of much of this confiscated property are very shaky, and
muoh ill-feeling naturally prevails between the North?
ern purchasers and the Southern former owners. Un?
scrupulous men from the North have taken advantage
of this excited state of the publlo mind to urge the ne*
groes to arm against thed--d rebels, who, they tell
them, are going to turn them out of their little lands. J
am assured on authority I can hardly doubt that tho
negroes thus incited held meetings for drill, and are
armed with muskets to the number of several hundreds,
and an accident or an injudicious act may bring about a
serious outbreak.., ., ', . ... .
' AT JACKSONVILLE, . I<F <'
whence I dispatch'ibis letter?slmUarexcitement pre?'
vails. Threats, it would seem, , have been made use of
by a few white rowdies,that they would kill the niggers
when the troops-were withdrawn, and these fears thus
excited have been turned to such ill purpose that.es
Friday night last armed bande of both negroes and
whites passed elong the .streets, euch expecting attack
from the other Ilde. Happily no ore ich of the peace
hat yet ooourred, and the military commander is doing
bis nest td persuade1 both sides that their fears were ;
