Fate Of the Emancipated Blaeks-suf-
fering In Every Conceivable shape
A Sad Story.


From the Macon Telegraph, May 30
The reports of the deaths and accidents
TO negroes, given in our local column this
marning, convey but limited idea of the
rings which the unfortunates who
f8cked to Macon have undergone since
the army reached the city. All this time
they have been suffering terribly in every
conceivable shape, and we have intorma-
tiou that many hundreds have died from
starvation and disease the aggregate
reaching a total that seems almost in
credible. This state cf things has been
unavoidable thus far, and we can see no
prospect of change for the better. The
army commissary, owing to the nature
of the service upon which the command
of General Wilson was engaged, was not,
and has not been, able to supply the
thousands who have abandoned their
homes to follow the army. All was done
TO mitigate suffering that cenId be done
under the circumstances, but the ability
has fallen far short of the requirements.
Some thousands of men able TO work
have been renewed to sections where
they could be more easily supplied. and
at the same time prove of some service
in repairing our railroads. A few have
enlisted, and are cared for, while many
Others have been driven from the city, as
a matter of necessity, arising from a
scarcity of provisions, but generally be-
cause employment cannot be obtained by
which the means can be earned to pur
chase supplies Almost every employer
prefers white labor, and as there art
plenty of whites, seeking employment
the negro stands but poor chance
They are thus forced to lead life Of vag
abondism, if they remain among Us, AM
the results are starvation, disease ant

England and the United States TO show
how well he looked after his humping.
But we, a nation, should certainly come
out of this war with feelings something
different from those Of Mr.. Heenan. If
we must make an exhibition of our
strength to Europe, let us send Lee and
