Supplement tu ®he lailp Jerald. The Savannah Daily Herald Gen. Fullerton's Administration of Freedman Affairs in Louisiana.— Gen. Ful lerton, of tlie Freedmen's Hureau in New Or leans, lias issued a circular sus|ienditig the collection of the tax for the support of ne ?;ro schools, levied by Gen. Hanks and en orced by Mr. Conway, and directing lists to be made out. The True Delta says : To Gen. Fullerton is due a major share of the gratitude of our citizens for this timely relief; for although other high authorities were interesting themselves in the subject, it was the representations of the General, which were forwarded to Washington that induced President Johnson to telegraph Gov. Wells of the rtmovil of the burden fronabhr shoulders. Such, wejare credibly informed, is the case; and upon the au thority of the President's dispatch, the or der has been issued. . The General has also issued a circular re moving the arbitrary and cramping rules laid down by Bauks' famous “Labor Order,” and permitting the planter and laborer to form contracts to suit their mutual interests and wishes. The price of the workman s services, the number of hours per day, and the number of days per week that he de sires to labor, are matters for him to settle with hiß employer and the only interference permitted the officers of the Bureau is to act as arbiter when a contract is voluntarily left to them for decision by both parties. It is, however, their duty to require all contracts to be filled in their offices and to correct any advantages taken by unprincipled men of ignorant freedmen. [From the Toronto Freeman, November 9.) The Indemnity Question More Serious THAN THE FbNIAN MOVEMENT. —We CODfeSS to more apprehension of disturbance from the Government of the U. S.. that from the Fenians. There may be some trouble from that quarter, and, should it arise, the Fenians, as a matter of course, and very naturally, would be ulalized. The claims which have been made from Washington upon the Imperial Government for cornpen sation'for losses inflicted upon American commerce by the Alabama, during the pro fress of the late war, may lead to difficulty, t is to be hoped the matter will be amica bly adjusted. Should it unfortunately hap pen that serious complications will arise, and that they must be referred to the arbit rament of the sword, then, indeed, we may have sufficient cause for apprehension. The time that would be chosen to send over the frontier an army of occupation would be when we are least guarded or prepared; wbeu the means of procuring from England reinforcements and supplies will be cut off with our ice-bound channels of communica tion. It Will be then left for us to make the best terms we can and sui render at discre tion. It were wiser and more prudent for us to look to such a contingency than be oc cupying our thoughts with the bugbear of a Fenian invasion. Southern Literary Items. —Old Colonel Robert Tausill, formerly of the United Stales marine corps, latterly a colonel of a Virginia regiment and an inspector on General Whit ing’s staff, has published a book on the causes of the overthrow ot the Confederate Government. It is described as highly lum inous, original, witty and eutertainiug. A New Orleans Arm. Francis Bonvain & Cos., propose to establish a publishing house, from which the productions of uative authors may be issued as cheaply and as neatly as can be done at the North. The first book is sued will be anew edition of the “History of Louisiana,” by Charles Gayarre. The Honorable Charles Gayarre, a distin guished Louisiana scholar and politician,au thor of a History of Louisiana, and for many years Secretary of State of that State, has published a comedy in two acts, entitled “Dr. Bluff of Russia; or the Emperor Nicholas and the American Doctor.” The New Orleans Picayune tliiDßs that it would be very successful on the stage. The Alleged Attempt to foison Wirz.— Mr. Lewis Schade, Wire's junior counsel, is out in a letter, in which he pronounces the account of the attempt of Mrs. Wirz to poison her husband an infamous lie from be § inning to end. He says that on the 29th ay of October, the day on which the al leged attempt was made, Mrs. Wirz was in Kentucky and not iu Washington, and ac companies his statement with letters from Wire s wife and daughter to prove it. Theac account ol the attempted poisoning was obtain ed from General L. C. Baker, who is t.he well known detective of the War Department, by Mr Wakemao, a New York sbort-haod re porter, who turnisbed it to the New York press. It is proper to add that the publie put very little confidence in the poisoning story. South Carolina and the Direct Tax.— The Secretary of the Treasury has a letter from the Governor of South Carolina asking that that State have the privilege of assum ing the direct tax levied by Congress, and that the same may be paid in South Carolina bonds. He alleges that the State is much impoverished and cannot meet the taxes im mediately. No action has been taken on the letter by the Secretary of the Treasury.
