Ereedman's Rnrnan

The general operations of the Freedmen's
Bureau have been favorable in the South.
While conflicts have taken place between
the former masters and the now Freedmen,
where one has occurred, hundreds would
have resulted but for the interposition Of the
Freedmen's Bureau.
But the latter is but temporary desk in
the affairs of Government unless Congress
extends the time of its operations the com
ing winter. The existence Of the Bureau
was limited by act of Congress TO one year
after the termination of the war, SO that.
unless farther legislation is taken by the
coming Congress it will cease to exist as a
Department next spring.
The New York Times remarks in speak,
ing on the subject, that the Legislatures Of
all the Southern States which will be in
session this winter-and they will all be ir
session except those Of Florida and Texas
should promptly take up the question of the
Freedmen's rights and relations, and estab.
ish such laws and regulations as are de.
manded by justice and humanity. 1t would
be much better that the whole matter should
be in the hands of the Southern people ant
the respective States; and if they evince {
purpose 10 treat the question as the cir
cumslances demand, Congress will leave i
entirely 10 their jurisdiction, by taking nj
measures for perpetuating the existence Q
the Freedmen's Bureau.

Small Farms in Virginia.

The importance OF dividing out the large
estates in Virginia is being discussed BY the
thinking men Of that State. The Richmond
Republic says:
"The facts should be kept before the
people that the prosperity Of the old com

subdivision of large estates, improved and
unimproved, into innumerable small holne-
steals, within the ability of men of moderate

INTEREsTING RELIcs.-The "Old South
Church. " in Nenburyport, Mass, is a
place of great interest from IFS relics and
"reminiscences. The celebrated clergyman,
George Whitefeld, died there, and was bur.
ried under its pulpit. The vault is annually
visited by hundreds though little remains OF
him. A handful of dust in the bottom Of
the coffin, and few bones, are all earthly Of
one who moved the world by his eloquence
and fiery zeal; who crossed and recrossed
the ocean, spoke to the largest audiences
ever gathered by Protestant minister, and
is said to have preached eighteen thousand
sermons. The arm bone was once stolen
from the coffin and carried TO England
where it remained thirty years, when it was
returned by the repentant thief. The pull
pit still contains, in good state of preser
walton, the old Bible, printed hundred ant
/ fifty years ago, from which Whitefelc
preached with iervid elOquence tina

An Adroit Swindle at the Olive Street

the end of the counter iarthest from where
the new guests were standing, and rapping

The Way John the Drummer Mixed 1t.
At the commencement of the rebellion

The spirit for war ran high in that section
during the winter of 1860 and spring Of
1861. Musterings Of the militia companies
were frequent. John was always on hand,
and because of his poli,eness, promptness
and good nature, was generally pretty well
rewarded for his services by the dashing
young officers of the militia.
When war really broke cut, John seemed
TO think that unless he joined The Conied-
crate army, all his former professions Of
admiration for the military would be lost
So, on account OF some such feelings, he
joined the army. And l must say join
drummed well through the war, considering
he started in Union man.
Finally, as John says, the whole thing
went up. John returned to his native
home, remained few days, when he con
cluded to visit Lynchburg. On his return
he was met one day BY the Colonel of th'
regiment to which he was attached, The
Col. spoke TO him and asked the news

20 We learn from citizen of Roanoke that
the location of the Western Branch of the
North Missouri Railroad through Randolph
county is again an open question. If the
people interested in the Roanoke route will
subscribe literally they may yet get the
Road. The other route, we believe, has
subscribed the most money, but IT costs
more to build it that way. Farmers and
land holders in this section should feel at
interest in this matter, for by the Roanoke
route the Railroad will be brought wi'hit
six or seven miles of Glasgow.
