Affairs in* Florida —A report has just been
received at the Freedman’s Bureau from two
agents, \vl>o have recently traversed the entire
State of Florida on horseback, in regard to
the relations now existing between the whites
and blacks of that S*.ito and the present pros
pect of crops. These gentlemen say there are
no uiunA rebels ru Florida, and that the white
population everywhere expressed the mod ar
dent wish tor a continuation of peace. They found
very crude notions existing among the people
concerning the negr.es; but it seemed - gener
ally understood and acquiesced in that slavery
was at an end. In many places the nr grot's
had made bargains with their old masters for
•wages and had goneto work cheerfully. In
other localities the former rights of the mast, r
to tlog and padde the blacks severely tor tri
fling offenses had not been entirely aba* done*!;
but other methods of punishment were being
giadualiy adopted. The agents labored tv* en
lighten both whites and blacks, and to explain
the intentions of the government toward; noth
They found the negroes very teachaole, and
possessing unbounded confidence in all North
ern men. It is, therefore, doubly important
that great care be exercised in selecting gov
eminent agents, as many designing aud unscru
pulous men were aiready beginning to prey
upon the negroes. The latter were informed
that they and their posterity were forever tree,
ami would be protected in their freedom. They
were told that their freedom was brought to
them there; that they need not leave their old
homes to obtain it; but were advised, On’the.
contrary, to hire themselves to their foimer
master whenever practicable, and to be indus
trious, faithful laborers. The prospects tor
coming crops were not eo bad as anticipated.
As a general rule the crops will not sutler tor
lack of labor.

General Orders, No. 110
The foliowiag order of the President of the
United States, in relation to transfer of aban
doned lands, fand3 and property set apart for
the use of Fieedmen to the Bureiu of Refu
gees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, is pub

Execctivk Mansion, I
Washing'on, D. C , June 2, 18<jd. f
• Whereas. By an act of Congress, approved
March 3, 18G5, there was established in the
War Department a Bureau of Refugees, Freed
m ni-nd Abandoned Lands, and to which, in
accordance with the said act of Congress, is
committed the supervision and management of
aband med lands, and the control of all sub
jects relating to refugees and freedmen fiom
Rebel States, or from any district of country
within the territory embraced in the opera
lions of the army, under such rule3 and regu

; the bureau and approved by the President ;
and whereas, it appears that the management
of abandoned lands and subjects relating to
refugees and freedmen, as aforesaid,, have
been, and still are, by orders based on military
j exigencies, or legislation based on previous
, sta-utes, partly in the hands of Military offi

in charge of officers of the Treasury Depart

Tub South in Advkiipity.—When Napolaon
overran Prussia in his brief but terrible Jena
cimpaign, closing- with a ppaco which con
firmed to him most of her toytresses and near
ly half her population, her ruin was on all
hands deemed complete and beyond remedy.
Very few, even of her own statesmen, sup
posed she touhl, within the next generation,
resume the place won tor her by her great
Frederick among the ' controlling European
powers Yet seven years had not passed when
before she had fought a fresh battle or recov
ered a square mile of territory, she threw a
weighty swo and into the scale of Legitimacy
and entered, as the ally and speer cf Russia,
upon ihe triumphant war of liberation. For
the genius of her statesmen, the ardor of her
patriots, the organising skill of her great sol
diers, has meantime renovated and enlarged
her strength, and from the ruins of the king
dom has evoked the might of the nation. And
Prussia remains to this day a substantial ga’nrr
by her sudden, stupendous downfall in 1806.
The Soulh stauds substantially whom Pius
ria did at the close of that disastrous struggle
Site has made a wild, mad venture, and inear
re ian overwhelming defeat. Her sots have
been slain, her fields and cities devastated,
her resources exhausted. She staked her all ou
a gieat throw, and lost; hence, she now sits
aiti'd tuhe's and ruins.
Yet the South has still the elements of a
great prosperity—a speedy recovery of all the
material wealth she has sacrificed, and a rapid
advance in knowledge, industry, wealth, refine
ment and power. In climate, soil, timber,
minerals, inland navigation, water power, and
nearly every element of material well-being,
alia is scarcely surpassed; while the commercial
world is hungry for immense quantities oi her
staples, nndjready to buy them| it extraordinary
prices. Capital from either hemisphere is ea
ger to flow into her lap—to buy her lauds and
hire her labor at prices far above those of the
past, an-i to purchase all the cotton, sugar,
rice, tobacco, naval stores, &c., &c , she can
produce lor years to come at not less than
double the cost of production. In all the known
woild there is not another Held for the em
ployment of capital and labor so promising as
is affordtd throughout the length and breath
cf the Slave States of our Union.— N. T. Tri

Gcv Brown —On his way home between
Savannah and Millcdgeville the Governor had
a severe attack, but recovered so as to reac .
hi-me. Ever since his arrival home he has
been prostrated with billious fever. lie is
uow convalescent and his friends hops is out
cf danger. Although retired from public life,
and by the exceptions in the President’s Am
nesty Proclamation, precluded from exercis
ing the ordinary privileges of a citizm, yet
Iris min'd is constantly upon the future pros
pects of his beloved State. Georgia was and
is still his idol.—To make her gieat and pros
perous, in short to make her a model State,
was his ambition whilst he was her Chief-Ma
gistrate. In this laudable ambition he was
ia a fair way to he succeessfui when inter
rupted by the withering blast of war. When
th>* late war commenced Georgia was fast
becoming a model State. Ail of her public
works and public restitutions were well man
agM and in success full operation , her credit
was good aud her citizens generally were
prosperous and happy. Savage war has laid
.1 is red hand on alt this prosperity and it has
withered. Wo hope however that tbe pros
perity of Georgia will soon revive. It is the
anxious wish of Gov Brown that every good
and wise citizen of Georgia, who has not been
excluded by the President s proclamation, will
qualify himself and take an active part in
endeavoring to restore our beloved State to
her former prosperity and glory. Gov. Brown
has now aud always has had some very bitter
.tnd malignant enemies, but he has also many
very many warm and devoted friends; and
and what is strange, his enemies are his ene
mies for the very same reasons that his friends
are his friends: on account of his virtues.
We have no doubt, however, that it is the sin
eere de.-ire and prayer of a very large majority
ol the people of Georgia that he may soon re
cover his health and that his life may be long
-pared to his country and his friends. —Mdkd

ment to prevent them, and to arrest suspected
i persons whole villages, aud even towns,continue
| to be burnt down. The destruction is sup
posed to be the work of the Poles. It dots
uot appear, however, that there is any better
reason for th; charge than that made against
the Christians during the great fire at Rome
under Nero, or against the Romanists duiing
the g.eat fire of London 200 yeata ago.

The dispatches and circulars from Ne,.
leans show that the great accumulations t 1
Red River cotmtry are now coming down t..
ly, and Shreveport and Alexandria, as we'll as
Vicksburg and New Orleans, me exlnbiiing
some of their old activity. The navigable wa
ters of the State of Alabama are al ve with
steamboats and small craft, carrying the staple
to Mobile for shipment. Ffo;n Texas we have
no reports 6ince the removal of trade restric
tions, but the heavy amounts in that great.
State are well known. Tne advices from Sa
vannah are of large receipts from the Southern
parts of Georgia, and even in South Carolina
tire prospect is better than has been supposed.
Our Charleston correspondent, in his letter of
the 24th inst., published this morning, says :
‘•Business in Charleston is remarkably active
for this season of the year. ISvery steamer
from New York brings parties who are desif
oua < f in trade. Cotton aud rice
speculators abound. They have agents
all over the State, and not a few of them, we
can confidently remark, are coining money.
The holdeis cf cotton have been deprived for
so long a time of the luxuries of life, not ex
cepting tba item of greenbacks, that they will
ingly d-spose of their property at a heavy
discount from the market rates. Within the
past three weeks, cotton ha3 been sold in the
iuterior tor twelve cents pei pound. The only
difficulty purchasers experience is the getting
of the cotton to the seaboard, where it can be
shipped for the Northern market.' ;
Now that the cotton trade bus boon resumed,
though at first “n a limited scale, between the
ports of the South, and those of tiro Noiflr and
of Europe," it will doubtless quickly swell
into great importance. Already it has begun
to" affect favorab'y our commerce and finances
and exchanges, and its inthitnce on ail the
public Interests will enlarge with every day
and every week. 'lhe advanced rate3 of
freights are actmg rather adversely to
the export movement at this moment; but this
will presently rectify itself. Great Britain
really needs the cotton, and is williDg botli to
pay for and transport it. By the latest ad
vices from Europe, there were only about six
weeks’ regular supply in Li vet pool. No cot
ton from any other part of the globe, even if
it could he had by her in sufficient abundance,
can take the place of tha American article, as
has been proven by the experience of the past
four years.
Ths Excise Laws. —An Imp octant Dkci
sion. —Judge Leavitt, of Ohio, hat just made
a very important decision in regard to the
working of the excise laws. He delivered an
opinion, a few days since, on a motion for a
trial by jury in case of a se ; zure under the
internal revenue act. As It relates to anew
question under that act, it may be ol interest
to our readers. Here is the substance of it •
United States-vs. Sundry Barrels of Wjj fl .
key.—The motion before the court is for A trial
by jury in four distinct libels of information
prosecuted in behalf of the government, for
the forfeiture of about one hundred and thirty
barrels of whiskey, alleged to have been manu
facture 1 and sold in violation of the internal
revenue act of the 3d of June, 1%>4. The
whiskey was seiz-d in this district, and is now
in the custody of the law. Claimants have
intervened in each of the four cases, and in
the answer and claim cf each, tbe reasons and
grounds of forfeiture alleged in tbe several
libels, are denied. The question is whether
the claimants are entitled, in the trial of toe
issues made, to the intervention of a jury.
It is insisted by the counsel for the United
Mates, that these libels are before this court as
cases ot admiralty jurisdiction, and must be
tried according to the known and settled usua
ses of courts of admiralty, In which the trial
by jury is unknown. On the other hand it is
claimed that as the seizures of the prouertv in
question were on the land, they mus\ be tried
as cases at law; in which the right of a furvls
zecured by the constitution of the United. States
right to have the case tried before a iurv if
they so demanded. J J
