need only to obtain the facts. I am personally ac
quainted with most of the officers of a hundred odd
regiments of volunteers, aud output these I could
name thirty regiments one-half ol whose officers and
many of the men have returned to the South, and as
many mors that have left large numbers there upon
being disbanded. Hnndreds even of the officers of
oolored regiments—the most offensive to the South-
have remained there and entered* into business, the
most of them having rented plantations and employ
ing their old soldiers. Large numbers of ex-Federal
and ex-Confederate officers are engaged together in
mercantile pursuits and in cottou planting.
Nearly all of the cotton plantations in Florida are
being run by such parties. The banks of the Missis
sippi are lined with plantations which have been
leased by Northerh men and Federal officers. Arkan
sas and Whits river plantations are being ran bj T offi
cers who have served under Gen. Reynolds, while a*
large number of the Red river plantations have been
placed under cultivation by ex-officers of Gen. A .T
Smith's command.

which was a forward season, it is about two weeks be-
Jiind time. The fruit trees were all ready and waiting
to blossom two weeks ago, but a chilly dry spell, with
cold nights, kept back vegetation and put a damper
upon the gnahingness of the fruit buds. We have
just had a favorable change, however, and now things
promise to be no longer backward In coming forward.
We lack rain yet. The streams and ponds are low,

and who formerly commanded a division of colored
troops. In all of these connections the utmost har
mony prevails. Notwithstanding the above facts, and
1 could multiply thorn, 1 maintain that in many sec
tions of tho South there is a widespread hostility to
Northern men, which, however, in nine cases out of
tfen, is speedily dispelled by individual contact, aud
the exorcise of a generous regard for private opinions.
In fine, I will say that all who can be spared from the
industry of the North to go South can readily find
places of business where they can live in quiet aud
prosperity.
THE FREEDMEN.
After ridiculing the idea of any insurrection among
the negroes, and demonstrating that they are not
generally improperly restrained, Mr. Truman says :
Tho Freedman's friends need never fear his re-en
slavement ; it never can, never will take place. Hi»
head is filled with chaotic ideas of freedom, and any
thing but the most insidious and blandishing en
croachments upon his freedom ho will perceive'and
resist. The planters everywhere complain of his
“ demoralization " in this respect.
As to the personal treatment received by the negro
at the hands of the Southern people there is wide
spread misapprehension. It is not his former master
as a general thing, that is his worst enemy ;.but quite
the contrary. I have talked earnestly with hundreds
of old slave-owners, ^nd watched them move amon^
their former “ chattels," and I am not mistaken. The
feeling with which a very large majority of them re
gard the negro is one of genuine commisseration al
though it is a sentiment not much elevated above {bat
with which they would look upon a suffering animal
for which they had formed an attachment. Last sum
mer the negroes, exulting in their new-fbund freedom,
as was to have been expected, were gay, thoughtless
and improvident, and, as a consequence, when the
winter came, hundreds of tliejn felt the pinchings of
want, and many perished. The old planters have
olten pointed out to me numerous instances of
calamity that had come under their own observation
in the case of their former slavos and others.
. I insist that there was in most cases a' real attach
ment* bet ween master aud slave, and still is, especially
betweon the family and the house servants.
It is, then, the former slave-owners who are the
best friends the negro has in the South, those who
heretofore have provided for his mere physical com
fort generally with sufficient means, though entirely
neglecting his better nature, while it is the “poor
whites" that are his enemies. It is from these he
suffers most. In a state of slavery they hated him
and now that he is free there is no striking abatement
of this sentiment, and the former master no longer
feels called by the instinct of interest to extend that
protection that ho once did. On the streets, by the
roadside, in his wretched hut, in The field of labor—
THE STATE RUM SHOP.
We arc having an investigation—a legislative inves
tigation—which promises to be rich in detail and
queer in the catastrophe. The facts which have already
appeared are very significant of the true character of
the fanatical people who are determined to make
everybody else virtuous according to their model.
There is richness in it. “ Do-the-Boys Hall ” is no
where. Artemus Ward, philosopher, being once
called upon to give his opinion about temperlnce ho
tels, said that he thought they were just about the
same as any other hotels, except that they sold rather
worse liquor! The State of Massachusetts has been ;
keeping a temperance hotel for a number of years.
The law prohibits the sale of indiscriminate «• nip
pers," hut as it is well understood that some kinds of
liquors are used for mechanical purposes, and that
some kinds are also used for medicine—especially by
country deacons, who are very much inclined to this
branch of the materia taedica about haying-time
rs wise men who framed tho prohibitory law pro
vided for this want by a State agent for the sale of
liquors, with a sub-agent in every town. The sub
agents are authorized to sell liquor for mechanical and
medicinal purposes, and for no othor. The State agent
is authorized to sell pure liquera to the town agents.
Every lot must be chemically assayed and declared to
bo pure by an officer appointed for the purpose, and
the liquor must be sold at a certain small per centage
above the cost, which pays the State agent for his
trouble. Some years ago, when the law first Went
into force, we had a State agent named Burnham—ho
was better known as -‘Hen Fever Burnham," ho
having published a book disclosing the manner in j
which he had humbugged the people during! remark
able hen layer that prevailed in New England somo
years ago. The idea was this. New broods of hens
were introduced, declared to be wonderful creatures,
which would outdo the renowned “white old hen with
yellow legs" that laid one egg every day, “and Sun
days she laid two.*' Men Fever Burnham having
shown that he was a master of humbug, his book fol
lowed Barnum's, of which it was an imitation, and
said Burnham having taken a warm interest iu the
temperance movement, aud in radical politics gener
ally, he was hit upon os just the man to be the State

— — — Liquor Agent. This was some ten years ago. Bnrn-
Ho built houses’and bought
horses. He was a man of elegant leisure. He was
accustomed to spend the winters, with his family, in
Washington, where, I doubt not, he was cordially re
ceived and lully appreciated. He was considered a pro
mising and rising man. But one day his business was
looked into ; somebody thought he was getting rich
too fast; thero was a legislative inveetigation, and it
appeared that Burnham had been watering his rum
all these years—" extending " it, he called it aud
thereby cheating the worthy country deacons, inas
much as it took twice as much of Burnham’s rum to
fuddle them as it used to take in the good old times.
So Burnham, who was iu quod during the investiga
tion, was "busted" up aud "busted” out, and a
"gentleman’’by the name of Porter was put iu his
place. This was about six years ago. Porter seemed
to he just the man for the place. He was forward iu
every good word aud work ; he belonged to all the
good societies ; he wus strongly in favor of the Maine
Law ; he was the " ruff”-of respectability, tho aonl of
honor, aud the charrow-tooth of reform. O. he was
a jewel. Mr. Porter seemed to-bo a flourishing man
iu the agency. He had money for charitable objects,
and lie lived iu style. No body could object, however,
to the way he lived ; fpr he was very " respectable."
Only last winter tie congratulated the State, in his
annual report, that " the cause" was progressing
well, and that the sales through the agency were
Many of this class diligently strive to discourage
the lreedmen from any earnest efforts to promote their
higher welfare. When one believes that a certain
race of beings are incapable of advancement he is
very prone to wilhhold ' tho means of that advance
ment ; and it is in this form that a species of slavery
will longest be perpetuated ; it is in these strongholds
that it Will last die out. I am pretty sure that there is
uot a single uegro in the whole youth who is trot re
ceiving pay for his labor according to his own con
tract ; but us a general thiug the lreedmen are en
couraged to collect about the old mansion m their
little quarters, jabor for their former masters for set
terms receiving, beside, their pay, food, quarters
and medical attendance, aud thus continuing on in
their former state of dependence. Tho cruelties of
slavery, its outward forms, have long since passed
away ; but glimmerings of its vassalage, its subser
viency aud its helplessness still linger.
It is the result of my observations, also.not only that
the planters generally are far better friends to the ne
gro than the poor whites, hut also better than a ma
jority of Northern men who go South to rent planta
tions—at least they show more patience iii dealing
with him. The Northerner ia practical, ciicrgotic]

pendence becoming their relations as freemen, and
I am convinced that in nine inontha from this tiino
the longer presence and assistance of the Bureau will
be unnecessary and superfluous.
NEOBO TROOPS.
Regarding the military establishment South. I will
respeotfully submit a few words. Taking everything
into consideration, there is every reason to believe
that it would be extremely injudicious to remove
from the South tho foroa now stationed there. Troops
ara required in the Bed rivor counties in Texas to
protect loyal men, who are being continually outraged
by somo thousand or more rebel refugees from Mis
souri and Arkansas, who, on aocount of their atrooi-
ties during the war, dare not return to their homes.
Troops are also required in the loyal Gorman counties
in Texas, whose people are suffering considerably
from the depredations of nomadic bauds of Indiana
Regarding the colored soldiers, I only agree with ali
our officers iu tho Sonth, including those conneoted
with the Freedmen’a Bureau, that they ahould be re
moved aa apcedily as possible. To a great extent they in-
oite tho freedmen to deeds of violence and encourage
them in indolence. Th.*re has been a great improvement
in this respect, however, during the past three months.
Further, there ia the most bitter feeling existing bo-
tween white and colored soldiers, and many of the
latter have been cruelly treated by tho former. Vol
unteer regiments are gradually wasting away by de
sertion—officially encouraged. The demoralizing
effects of this wholesale desertion <s felt in the regu
lar army, which ia also suffering in like manner. The
Fourth and Sixth Cavalry and the Nineteenth
Infantry Regiments are losing hundreds ol men by
desertion.
FCCTJBE PBOSPECTS OP THE SOOTH.
EEEP THE BALL HOtTNU.
The absurd law prohibiting billiard saloons pnd
bowling alleys from keeping open after 10 o'clock any
evoning, and after 6 o'clock on Saturday evening, has
been rcpoaled by the Legislature. We begin 'to feel
somewhat encouraged. x
THEATBICAL 4IATIEBS
are lively for the season. John Brougham and John
Owens are both postod upon the blind walla of the
city. Booth will ba here this month. Owens ia at the
Burton ; Brougham at the Howard ; Lucille Western
at the Continental. Theatres and concert halls have
had a very profitable season. iota.
In conclusion, I must say that I bespeak for the
South a glorious future. I predict that peace, pros
perity, wealth and happiness will be her lot. Her rich
lands will come rapidly under cultivation, and will In-
vale
crease ten-fold in value ; her noble waters wjll be
thronged with the appliances of commerce ; popula
tion, such as she desires, will flow steadily into her
borders ; cities and villages will dot her landscapes;
schools and ohurohes and publio institutions will ho
her boast, and a refined society will grace the land.

Chief Justice Chase and the Tkial of
Mr,-Davis.—Chief Justice Chase had aa in
terview with the President to night at nine
o’clock, relative to the trial of Jeff. Davis and
the restoration of civil law in Virginia. Mr.
Chase wanted to be assured that the United
States Court would be unobstructed by mili
tary orders He recurred to his letter to Mr.
Jobusou of last October, in which he de
clined to hold the United States Circuit
Court in Virginia.
So long as they were surrounded with bay
onets aud subject to the interference ot mili
tary commandants, he. would still refuse to
hold court if the military status was un
changed. He understood (he peace procla
mation aa restoring tho writ of habeas
corpus, but was ignorant of the condition ot
affairs now in Virginia, and in doubt whether
the military or the civil authorities bad pre
cedence. The President informed him that
so far as his official information extended
the civil law is now supreme in the State of
Virginia, and the courts could proceed with
out fear of interruption from military offi
cers ; and such, in taet, is the case so far as
he knows all over the land where the civil
courts are organized.
It now rests with the Chief Justice, the
United States District Judge of Virginia,
Judge Underwood, and the United Stetes
District. Attorney, Mr. Chandler, to deter
mine whether Mr. Da via shall be iudicted
and tried in Virginia or not. The United
States Court sits on Monday at Norfolk, and
it is understood that Mr. Davis’ case will be
brought before the Grand Jury to be con
vened in that city.— tvashinyton Latter to Cin
