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

amount, in round numbers, to th:
millions.

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.

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.
