A thousand times the story has oome to us from

The Richmond Republic quotes a report made oa the 15th
daunt by Oolong Brows, Ameistant Commie twee of the
Freedman's Bureau far Virgleia, sad easfesses that some
of the facts stated mast excite surprise. Coked Brows
estimates the population of Mahood at 60,000, half white
and half ooloure and says. that from is. by the Fad-
dist of the Belief Commusicia he that "oat of
25,000 adorned persons only 942 read rations for the
week sada& July 1, while for the mete time
8,494 of the white populatios were fed by the
government." In other 'Foray theugh half the
population of Richmond is Meek, only oddroth of the
paupers were of that oolour. That certainly would indicate
that all the hay people in Richmoad are sot coloured. The
Repeblic fuels celled epos, foe the credit of she Richmond
whits", to smile various assess for the fad that one-third
of them le fed by the government bounty. It says "If

were in the Confederate service, flocked to this sty with
their families' to obtain the work put out by that gavels-
mint, and the food did/tatted by the City Relief Com-
mittee. Many of those anbappy people remain here. They
have nowhere to go to. Thousands of white men during
the war went north to avoid military service, leaving kelp-
ie:" families in this city. Their families remain, but very
many of the men have not GCMG hack. Women whose

If "many at the whites who draw rations count from two
to five Degrees in their families," the Southern aristocracy
cortabaly mainteine its pride in poverty in a remarkable
degree. In any county, people who live as charity would
not be likely te keep from two to five savants. If dos-
ed& of white men have deserted their families, while very
few blacks have dose so, the came is so mud the worse for
the whites. If whits women get rations fraudulently, while
the blacks do sot, the Cabe in again the worm for
the whites. Bat even &Boeh! the fulled weight
to the Republic's erodes, it is still steadiest that
the blacks of Richmond do not particularly de-
rave to be called idle, while it is clear that many of the
Richmond whites are just what slavery has made them, too
proud and lay to work, but sot too proud to live upon
charity. The Republic thinks fifteen thousand blacks have
come to Riebneied duce its capture, aad says that they
were nearly all young sad able-bodied, leaving us to infer
that they have nearly all sought and found employment.
Formerly the pro-davary story was that the emancipated

apologist of the Richmond white* Lads a different

other extract from the report of Colossi Brows : "The

A portion of these tonsils ham been at apart as homes for
