Newberry. Samuel Drouthitt, Greenville C. H. Wm. Moore, Abbeville C. H. Julina Poppe-, Anderson C. IL The Freedmen'! Bureau tl?this State. ? special correspondent of the New York World, who seems to be % traveling with Generals Steedraan aud Fullerton, writes as follows: There was so little done in Charles? ton by the investigating committee, composed of Generals S te edin an and Fullerton, that it seemed hardly worth while to make a special letter on the subject from that place. With re? gard to the feeling of the people, crops, etc., in South Carolina, I think that a few paragraphs will be of in? terest. There seems to be a feeling of sin? cere loyalty to the Government among the true men and women. Skulkers that crawled ont of inconceivably small apertures to escape service iu the army, preachers of the "Snig? gers" stripe, and exceedingly weak minded females of an uncertain age, are the only ones that seem to har? bor any feeling of evil to the flag and country. For the rest of the people there seems no better way of illus- | trating their sentiments, than the fact that they have the honor of the coun? try quito as much at heart as the men from the North now mingling with them as store-keepers, pro tem., planters, lawyers, doctors, etc., and, so far sta one may discover, rath el? more so. Men who have suffered | losses, say heartily if I could bo sure that it was to go to pay the Govoro- j ment debt, I should not care. It's the whole country now. Crops, par? ticularly cotton and sweet potatoes, are exceedingly promising. Thc corn seems to be neglected for th^. pur? pose of cultivating a larger portion of the land in cotton. Tho newspa? pers have in each issue accounts of the failure of the cotton crop by reason of poor seed ; but this looks rashly like an effort to force tho price of cotton up to the figure from which it lately fell. Field after field, that we have examined closely, gave no sign of any such wilting as wc see in every paper. There seems to have been but a small crop put into tho ground, and for this reason we may expect a short crop. Generally speaking, there seems to be a disposition gunong tho citizens to rid themselves of the "Freedmen's Bureau," which is at present exerting a bad influence over the freedmen, by causing them to leave localities where work is plenty, and flock to the neighbox-hood of agencies of the Bureau, for tho purpose of liviug without the necessity of labor. There is not the same intelligence among the negroes of South Carolina that we discover among those of Virginia and North Carolina, but this seems to be made up for by a strong impreg? nation of natural cuuuing, that is often amusing as it is inconvenieut. Kershaw County has, it is said, never had a regalar agency of the Bureau established within its limits. This County is referred to as the most prosperous one iu the State, so far as the good behavior and industry of the freedmen is concerned. The plantation was reached, and a few courteous romarks addressed to the agent, whoso name I do uot now remember. This gentleman objected to being interrogated, but finally con? sented to answer such questions as might be required of him. Without going into qnestion and answer, it is sufficient to give the result. The freedmen were at present allotted tasks of a quarter of an acre of hoe? ing each; for this they were paid flfty cents per task. This fifty cents was represented by a ticket good only at the small grocery store kept at the house in which tho agent made his home. Hero tho freedmen could pur? chase corn (short measure, they coin plain,) at #3 per bushel, (that cost but 81.10 in Charleston,) and other articles of absoluto necessity at tho same generous advance. This, they complain, took all their money, and left them nothing for the winter, which they dreaded and feared ; that they would be Obliged to have re? course to the protection of tho Go vernmeut. . The negroes on this plantation wv re downcast and disap? pointed. , Tho next plantation, that of a brother of Major Whalcy, "was being worked by. aa jolly and light-hearted a set of blacks as we have seen. The ternis were liberal, .almost too mach j so.. Three days in the week they' wo?ke4 for Mr.~Whalay, and received j half ?he crop for so doing. The rest of the week they worked for them-1 selves on land.. furnished by Mr. Whaley, who advanced provisions to them, which were to be paid back at. harvest time. The next plantation, that of Mr. Townsend, was worked much on the same plan. The contract being not quite so liberal. " Early the following morning we started for Edisto Island, where we found that the plantations were being worked partly on shares. and partly by hands hired, and paid so mach per month. The usual terms being a third of the crop' for. furnishing the land, or two-thirds of the crop when the person furnished the rations. _ Some considerable trouble had been occasioned. by the certificates that the negroes had received under General Sherman's order, with refer 1 euee to abandoned plantations. The j different names by which these certi I fi catea were called was somewhat amusing. One called it his "tiffity, another his "stiffness," and a thirc the "fertif." The storekeepers on Edisto wen disposed to be more honest, and i they told the truth, did not charg? more than half for their wares tha the person on Mr. Underwood's plan tation charged. A story that Mr John Townsend tells of his effort t< import German labor, to cultiv?t his place, comes to me and is wert] telling: "They cost me $?85 each to brin? them to Charleston from New York I fed them far better than ever thought of feeding my hands, eve gave them coffee and saar kraut when what should they do but d< maud butter for their bread and mil for their coffee, and the next thin the whole crowd left me." This ger tlemau donated $100,000 in gold t the Confederacy at the commeuci ment of the war. The inspection o Edisto Island ended with a diuu< given to the party by a colored mu named Bram, who was for a lou time a pilot in the employ of the Gi vern mont, but Ls now engaged in rui uing a plantation which he has leasei You may bo sure that Mr. Bram ge all thc work out of the freedmt I that is necessary to keep his crop : the best possible simpe.
