THE FREKBMfiN’S BUREAU. i.KVERAL STKKDMAJV’S report pok SOUTH CAROLINA, FLORIDA, AND THE SEA ISLANDS OF GEORGIA. iSpeoi.l Dispatch to theSavaonsh News and Herald.] Washington, June 14, -1866. The New York papers this morning pub lish in full Generals Steedman and Fuller ton’s report lor the Department of South Carolina and Florida, and the sea islands of Georgia. The report is very lengthy, occupying three columns of close type- SOUTH CAROLINA. With regard to South Carolina, Generals Steelman and Fullerton state that it is evi dent that rations were issued unnecessarily to freedmen under the administration of Gen- Saxon, and that they do not think it will be necessary to continue relief beyond the pre sent season. They recommend the discontinuance of the paid citizen agent3 of the Bureau. The Commissioners state that General Ely, Sub Assistant Commissioner of the Bureau stationed at Columbia,was quite extensively engaged in planting, and had consequently seriously neglected the duties of his office. They mention au instance where twenty- nine colored people suffering from small pox, were taken from their homes and crowded in one small room twenty -feet by twenty- f uir, and were left there on the bare floor, with no nourishment but meat and meal, and no one to attend on them but one negro wo man Many representations of their de plorable condition were mado to the Bureau, but General Ely wa3 always found to be ab sent on his plantations. The Commissioners speak highly of Gen. Scott, the present Assistant Commissioner of the State, but condemn in strong terms the policy pursued by his predecessor, General Saxton, stating that the effect of the Bureau under his administration, was exceedingly pernicious, especially on the sea islands. Chaplain French (the well known leader of the “Gideonites,”) was found to be inter ested in a plantation on Edisto Island, hay ing invested 750 dollars in the farm, and con tracted to receivo one-fourth of the' crops. Chaplain French explained that he went into this business purely from motives of philanthropy, but the Commissioners mildly hint i hat at the lowest computation his philanthropy will return him 250 per cent. Allusion is made to outrages on freed- inen committed near Edgefield Court House by a baud of outlaws whose conduct was strongly repudiated and condemned by the respectable inhabitants. The Commis sioners censure both the civil authorities and the Bureau for not bringing those scoun drels to justice. THE SEA ISLANDS OF SOUTH CAEOLINA. With regard to the Sea Islands the Com missioners say: On the 13th May we left i holiest on and visited the Sea Islands, which have been, and still are, together with the inlands of South Georgia, under the exclusive control of the Freedmen’s Bureau. There :,i.-on these islands one hundred and forty- one valid possessory titles to land held by the n. tiilmen, under the order of General Sher man. They encumber thirty-two plantations, Mtutite on James’, John’s, Wadmalaw and I d i-,to Islands. The number of freedmen now on all the South 'Carolina islands is about thirty thousand. These form, how ever, but a small proportion of the aggregate number who have occupied the islands since Goueral Sherman’s order was issued. Many ot those who first came remained on the islands but a short time, and then "returned ti' their homes on the main iand. Others, who made small crops, gathered them in, and ‘- it to seek other more profitable employment. A large majority of the freedmen who still re main on the islands are in destitute circum stances, some of them on the verge of starva tion. On Wadmalaw and Edisto Islands many who are cultivating lands for them selves would be compelled to abandon their crops were it not for the provisions furnished them by the planters. The Commissioners mention and condemn tne way in which the freedmen are plundered cn the islands, by small shopkeepers and Northern speculators. THE SEA ISLANDS OF GEORGIA. The report continues: After visiting the South Carolina Islands, we proceeded to Sa vannah, Ga, where we were-joined by Brevet Major General Tillson, . Assistant Commis sioner for the Bureau in Georgia. He accom panied us on our visit to the Sea Islands. Under bis charge our first investigation was on St. Catherine’s Island. There Las been much confusion and disorder here, arising out of the unfitness of Bev. Tunis G. Campbell, a colored man from Nov* Scotia, who was located on the Island by General Saxton as an agent of the Bureau. This man abolished all the simple rules and regulations adopted^ by the freedmen for their own guidance, and established instead h parody of the United States Government, putting himself in the position of President, and assuming, in addition, dictatorial powers. 1 uder his administration the freedmen were armed, no white man was allowed to land on the island, and every effort was made to stir U P feelings of animosity against the white raee. Amongst other powers assumed by Campbell, he issued land grants, claiming to du so “by virtue of the authority vested in him by the President of the United States “id General Saxton,” and took especial care to bestow the best oil (Aments on: himself and i Natives. The conduct of this man had » piejudicial influence on the freedmen, und placed them for a lime entirely beyond ihe control of the Assistant Commissioner for Georgia. On- his first visit to the island, General Till sou discerned, that prompt inter vention Wise necessRry in the" interests °i the freedmen themselves; for their lands '"ere lying uncultivated, and they were not lar removed from absolute want. With much difficulty he obtained f hearing from them, and succeeded in restoring order, getting them to work, and abolishing the absurd power of government established by Camp bell. General Tillson ascertained that, of Abe whole number of land-grants on the island, seventeen only were vaiid. These grants covered five hundred and fifteen acres, and were scattered all over the island. He con solidated them, so as to occupy one section only, leaving the remainder for cultivation by the islanders. There are at present six hun dred and twenty-five freedmen on the island. Of these one hundred and forty-seven are working for Messrs. Winchester & Schuyler, of New York, who have rented a part of the Walburg plantation, and the remainder are cultivating lands on their own account. The one hundred and forty-seven Ireedmen work ing for Winchester & Schuyler have planted five hundred and thirty acres of cotton, and one hundred and fifteen of corn; the four hundred and seventy-five freedmen working for themselves have planted only two hun dred acres of cotton, and two hundred acres of corn. _ From St. Catherine’s we went to Sapelo Island, which is cultivated exclusively by Messrs. Dickson & McBride. The freed men here are working the land for two-thirds of the crop, and, so far as we could perceive, were well treated and cared for, and will make money, if they can be protected from the bad influence of a man named Patrick Ryan, who came amongst them last year with a permit from Capt. Ketchum, Bureau Agent under General Saxton, bought their cotton at ten cents a pound in the seed, and paid them mainly in whisky. This vicious man has exerted such an evil influence over the freed men as to make them dissatisfied with an ex ceedingly liberal contract. On St. Simon’s Island there are eighteen valid land 'graSSls, encumbering five planta tions. There arc between five and six hun dred freedmen on the island, most of whom are working for wages, are fed well, and ap pear to be perfectly contented. On two of the plantations they were working without formal contracts, but we were assured by the Bureau Agent that these freedmen relied con fidently, on being fairly dealt with by their employers. Our visit to this island satisfied us that the freedmen there were doing ex ceedingly well. OGEECHEE RIVER SETTLEMENT. This settlement, embracing originally seve ral hundred freed people—the largest colony on the coast under General Sherman’s or der—was last year under the control of Rev. Mr. Tiffany, an agent of the Bureau, ap pointed to that position by General Saxton. If the records kept by General Saxton were within onr reach, we could, without doubt, obtain official information as to the workings of this settlement; but in the absence of the record we can only report such facts as are within the knowledge of General Tillson and other officers on duty in the Department. On taking charge of this settlement, jfir. Tiffany hired twenty-five freedmen as a guard around them, with U. S. muskets, and used them to prevent any white man entering the settlement. Four United States officers, who had not Mr. Tiffany’s pass, were halted, and were refused the use of the Government boat to cross the Ogeechee river. This guard of twenty-five men, who served the entire sea son, were to be paid out of the proceeds of the rice crop raiood by the freedmen of the settlement. Mr. Tiffany gave them certifi cates for the amount due them, which certifi cates they still hold, but are unable to get either rice or money. All the freed people of this colony were supplied through the season with Govern ment rations, which were to be paid for out of their crops. We were informed by the Bureau officers of the Department that none of these rations have ever been repaid. A very considerable crop of rice was made by the freedmen, and Mr. Tiffany, the agent, advertised sixty thousand bushels of it for sale. Gen. Tillson, who had in the interim assumed charge of the Bureau for Georgia, seeing the advertisement, ordered the sale to be suspended, and notified Mr. Tiffany that only bonded officers were authorized to sell Government properjy. What disposition was eventually made of this rice crop, or who re ceived the profits of it, we were unable to ascertain. ■' Mr. Tiffany, shortly after this, re tired, whether voluntarily or otherwise can only be determined by the records, which are not within our reach. Most of the freed peo ple of the settlement 'became disheartened, and voluntarily abandoning their land grants, are now working under contract for the owners of the land, or the persons who have rented plantations from land owners. We have mentioned these particular cases, as indicating the condition of the freedmen occupying the sea islands and the coast un der Gen. Sherman’s order. Our personal ob servations, the evidence wi have taken, and the enquiries we have been obliged to make to supply the place of records, have con vinced us that the condition of the freedmen of these settlements while in charge of Gen. Saxton, was such as to give but little hope that unde* the polity pursued by him they would ever have become self-support ing; even with the fertile lapds on which they were located, placed at their disposal free of rent or taxes. The failure of Gen. Saxton's administration resulted from a variety of causes, among which may be enumerated: The unnecessary continuance of Govern ment support to the freedmen, which tended tq increase their n&tnral improvidence and to encourage habits of idleness. Keeping them under such guardianship and tutelage that they were disinclined to make any proper effort for their own support or improvement. Teaching them to distrust all white men but those Who had immediate authority over them, or who came amoDg them with passes from the Bureau, thus preparing them to fall an easy prey to-the sharpers who afterwards obtained access to them under the guise of friendship, toofc WJvfintage-of their credulity and fraudulently appropriated their crops. Their inexperience in prbwttng for their own support, in managing business for them selves, and their improvidence in the extrav agant expenditure of their earnings. It is not within the power of General* Tillson and Scott until a crop has been made under their respective administrations, 'to Ar terially improve the condition of the freed men on the sea islands. Although these offi cers have effected^ sfdutaty reforms in their habits and disposition $0 labor, and in re moving from their minds the absurd, ideas Which bad been introduced among-them, idleness, discord and bitter pHtedMaugainst the white people still exist. J^^^Knt to I Which they were deluded white 1 ‘ t-’ -i i! -Salt '-'O men who bad intercourse with them is al most incredible. Among the evidence taken relative to their condition,-and -which bears directly on this point, is the statement of a distinguished general officer who was in command of adistrict emhsaning a,part of the islafid, and which Is as follows* “I assumed command in January, 1865, of a district in which the South Carolina sda islands were included. They were in a state of turmoil, amounting almost to rebellion.. Armed patrols were maintained on the islands to prevent any, white man from finding. Some gentlemen from Pennsylvania who at tempted to land (improperly, I must say;) were arrested- I had placed a guard on each wharf so as to prevent their being molested when they landed, but they chose to make a landing on the beach where no guard was sta tioned. The uegroes had been told, and be lieved that a large force of rebel cavalry still occupied the woods on the mainland. Utter lawlessness prevailed, and cattle stealing raids by tbe negroes on the main land were of fre quent occurrence. I went over and broke.up tbe military bands and told them thi war was over. I then set to work to organize a system of labor. I found the forty acre al lotments* of most elastic dimensions. Tbe largest I found was four hundred and fifty acres, and the smallest three and a half acres. Many who bad orders for John’s island had settled, on James’ island, and certificates for Edisto island were plentiful on Wadmalaw island. Scarcely any attempt had been made to cultivate the land. There were only two acres ‘listed’ out in any one lot on Edisto island I had to discontinue the issue of rations before I could get them to work at all. I had nearly succeeded in getting them to work when the bill securing their land titles passed Congress, and everything was again thrown into confusion. Matters are now, however, getting straight again.” THE COMMISSIONERS' RECOMMENDATIONS. In our opinion the most equitable solution oi the question of the occupation of the Sea Islands on the coast by tbe freedmen, under the order of Gen. Sherman, will be to sur render the lands to the owners thereof on the first day of January next, requiring tbe laud owners to pay to the freedmen the value, in money, of all Improvements made by them while occupying the lauds—this to be de termined by a commission appointed by tbe Government. Of coarse we do not mean by this to suggest an interference with any of the freedmen who may desire to surrender the lands they are now occupying at any time prior to that period by arrangement be tween themselves and the owner's of the land. Generals Tillson and Scott both con cur with us that this arrangement will give general satisfaction to both the freedmen and the land owneis. Should this recommenda tion be adopted by the Government we respectfully suggest that the order be issued before tbe first of September next, so as to give both parties ample time to make their arrangements for the next season’s planting. FLORIDA. , Homeward Movement of the Entire Fenian Force. ORDERS OF Olfr- SWEENY. UNITED STATES TERRITORY INVA DED B Y BRITISH SOLDIERS. After completing our investigations of the Sea Islands we went to Fernaudina, Florida. Here we found Captain Leddy, of the Veteran Reserve Corps, on duty as agent of tbe Bureau, having charge of a district em - bracing two counties and containing about oue thousand ireedmen. Tuoc mo gc.=o~i ly at work lumbering, and get from twenty to twenty-six dollars per month aB wages. Captain Leddy is assisted by Maj. Scharer, formerly an officer of the 7th Ohio Infantry, who acts as agent, without pay, but who, however, was partially compensated by re ceiving five dollars for each contract drawn up and approved. Captain Leddy is a good, judicious man, who, by friendly interference and good advice has settled most of the diffi culties which have arisen in his district be tween freedmen, and between whites and freedmen, without litigation. We next visited Jacksonville, the head quarters of Capt Webster, who has charge of several counties, in which the freed- people are generally at. work and liberally compensated- , ; r > u..' There had been at this place, a few days before our visit, a good deal of bad feeling between the white and Colored people, pro duced by false, irritating reports, circulated by vicious persons; but through the efforts of the Governor of the State, the Department commander; and the officers of the Bureau, harmony and mutual confidence were re stored. We next visited Tallahassee, the head quarters of the Department Commander, and of the Assistant Commissioner of the Bureau for the State, from whom we obtained sta tistics as to -the number of officers employed andMumber of rations issued. Brevet Colonel J. W. Osborne, the Assist ant Commissioner of the Bureau for Florida, is an intelligent and jnst man; an energetic, competent and impartial officer. The most favorable accounts were given ns by citizens, the military and Bureau officers and the few people, oftb*:g«>$df>n4itiqp, p(f^freedmen in this Department, as well as the encourag ing prospects of the crops’ which they are, cultivating. The military, the Bureau and civil author ities in Florida are generally acting in har mony, which in our opinion is the main reason why the. freedmen are more quiets; orderly and thrifty than they are in localities in which there is antagonism and collision between the mStitary;~0fficera and agents of the Bureau and the t civil authorities. ' The only exception to this condition of things SBP; „ Florida, is at Jacksonville, the {8?3S8n£*S35to* it*©? which hss been already stated. The next point at which we stopped : to make enquiry, after leaving Tallahassee, was Monticello, where huge numbers of freed men are employed in working for a share of the crops. Both planters and freedmen are satisfied, and all concur in bearing testimony to the wisdom and justice of the administra tion of the affairs of the Bureau by CoL Os- boma. *' The Fisheries Question—Licenses to be Issued to American Vessels.—On the 31st ultimo, Sir Fred erick Bruce, the British Minister, addressed a note ]o, Mr. Seward, from which the following is an extract. “I have the honor, to inform von that tfie Gov- of Canada, to inm Satiety licetises on the payment of the anm of fifty cents per ton of measurement of the vessels proposed to he used in fishing.

[Special Dispatch to the New York World.] St. Albans, Vt., 9 p. m., June 10.—The Fenian movement in this section has flashed in the pan, and invasion of Canada by the ri*ht -wing , of the Army of Ireland is at an end. After the first night over the border] discontent among some was mani fest and desertions frequent; but on Friday night, there being no prospect of supplies and ammunition coming up, dhcontent. became general. Ai an early hour Saturday morning General Spear formed the men in line and addressed them briefly, saying, in substance, that the arms and ammunition on tbe way to them : had been seized by the United States au thorities, yet he, tor one, was willing to remain on Canadian soil. Hu then requested as many as wished to remain with him to step from the line, when just seventeen men stepped forward. Turning to a flew of us around headquarters, General Spear exclaimed sorrowfully: “Gentlemen, there is my brigade. 14 is deplorable. Better men never handled a musket; bat now, aU is lost; my commission In the army gone, my work in Canada a failure." He then dismissed the men, and the evacuation of Camp Sweeny com menced. The men fired their pieces in the air, and the ammunition was placed in a one-horss wagon and started off—where, l am unable to state. Thereafter every man appeared to be looking after the interests of himself alone, and all hands started for St. Albans. Gen. Spear and his staff were among the last to leave the lamp, which they did with great reluctance, about noon. At Franklin, Vt., on his (Spear’s) way back he was met by CoL Livingston, Third artillery, to Whom he gave his word that he wonld report to Maj. Gibson, in charge of the troops here. At East Higbgate on the way back, viewing tbe condition of bis men, Spear could no longer restrain his feelings, and wept bitterly. The men came strag- gling into this place in squads and singly, taking their way to tbe depot, where as many as had arrived up to 9 o’clock last night were iuraished transportation by tbe United States authorities to their homes. The re mainder, upon their arrival here, will be similarly disposed of. All to-day the Fenians have been strag gling in, and up to the present hour they haye not all arrived. Though compelled from necessity to abau- dou their position at Camp Sweeny the men have all confidence in the cause, and declare that the British government baa not yet seen tbe las; of Fenian ope rations against Canada. They seem pleased with their treatment at the bands of the United States officiate here, and before leaving test night oheered lustily for the “Stars and Stripes.” At St. Johns, C. E., Saturday morniDg, business was suspended, so great was the excitement; and the place bristled with the bayonets of volunteers and regulars, while hotels and'drinking places were crowded with officers and men drinking toasts to the British crown, singing such pieces as "God Save the Queen,” “Rule Britannia," Ac., heaping opprobrious epithets on the Fenians and Yankees. Peril! this connection, it may he proper upstate that these doings were enlarged upon when a courier arrived and informed the officer commanding that the Fenians were abandoning camp Sweeney. Then the offloarg buckled on their swords aud all were ready for the fray. Eight Fenians, who remained at Frelsighsburg, were taken prisoners by the British, and are now in confinement at St Armanda. General Spear, after arriving from the front teat night, took a rest in the vicinity of this place, having been on continuous duty lor seventy-two hours, after which he went on closing np his affairs connected with the disruption of the army lately under hi* com mand, and at noon to-day reported in person to Major A. A. Gibson, at his head-quarters here, in accordance with his promise to Colonel Livingston yesterday. To Major Gibson he made known the place of conceal ment of £is ammunition, and it is now en route to the head-quarters here. General Spear, after reporting to Major Gibson, was by direction of General Meade, re leased on parole, to await at St. Albans the action of the United States authorities in his case. Oeueral Sweeny and Colonel Meehen were to-day released from close confinement, and granted the pa role of this village. Colonel Bagley, Chief of Staff to General Spear, has jnst informed me that a guard of ten men, which ha placed on this side of tbe Canada line to bring up stragglers, were attacked by mounted English troops, fired upon, and one man killed and three wonnded. This report has been corroborated, and General Meade will investigate the matter. The fotiowtog orders have been promulgated here by General Sweeny and Col. Meehen: Sr. Albans, June 10,1866. To W. R.

John Meehen. Col. of Engineers and Chief of Staff. I have just seen a copy of a deposition before Gen. Meade, to tbe effect that a party of British regulars made a raid across .the border last night «ad captured three Fenians near Franklin, Vt, two of whom were hung. An American citizen named Gate Went over to get the bodies, but he was not allowed to remove them, and they remain unburied. Mr. Gates state* that he saw British troops cross the line and sqarch for men and arms. Three Fenians lying drunk on this side of the line were seized and carried into Canada by them. A gentleman just from Franklin informs me that two Fenian prisoners had thefr hands tied behind their backs: and were shot this morning. GRAND STAMPEDE OP FENIANS FROM VERMONT. Boston. June 10.—A special train from St. Albans arrival late teat night, and another this afternoon, bringing altogether one thousand five hundred Fenians home from the Vermont border. AU of whom had crossgff tne Canadian hne, except a few stragglers, are included in these arrivals. Transportation was fur nished by the United States Government. The Fe nian war is ended in that direction for the present. AN" IN 1 AS VIEW WITH - COLONEL TM. B.
