New YORK, Sept 3.-The Heraid's Rich
mond' correspondent says . Gen lee has
within few days practically set about the
task of writing history OF the war. The
forthcoming work will be written from the

humility, on an obscure and well nigh in
accessib e farm, the property of friend in
Cumberland county, Virginia. His sons
and nephew, with slight aid, have raised a
magnificent crop Of corn on the White

Report to Freedn,en.s Bureau.

New YORK, September 2.-The Herald's
Washington special says: Reports to the
Freedmen's Bureau from North Carolina
state that the number of whites and blacks
supplied by the government In that State
is greatly reduced, now amounting to only
10000. The Freedmen are making fair
crops on government farms. Offenders, in
cases of cruelty to negroes, have been ar
rested and are awaiting trial. In some
cases the blacks are treated with fairness,
but more frequently they are abused
and oppressed to shameful degree. The
right to punish them Is still tenaciously
claimed by their employers, and few as
sert that they will either have the blacks
as slaves or eXterminate the whole race
The action of the blacks, in great number
of instances, is equally unfortunate and
pitiful. Some are determined to be depend
ents and idly roam about, refusing steady
employment, being so filled with suspicion
that they will assent to no contract. r'9t
From East Tennessee it is reported that
not more than one hundred negroes are
supported by the Government. Freedmen's
schools are flourishing, and, in Greenvffle
President Johnsons home, the negroes
have contributed $50 per month for teach
ers. ..-.-----

Verdict of the Coroner's Jury on
the Long Island Railroad Dis

verdict OF the COrOner'S Jury on
the Long Island Railroad Dis
aster.
New York, Sept. 2.-The coroner's jury
In the case of the collision on the Long Is
land railroad have rendered verdict in
substance as follows:
The collision was produced by the care
lessness of Il. j. Race, conductor of the
mail train, and Jas. White, engineer of the
express train; that Louis G. Sands and Dam
iel f. Chase are not considered responsible;
censuring Oliver Charlick, President of the
railroad company, for the careless and ir-
regular manner in which the trainsare run,
and consider him Indirectly responsible for
the catastrophe. Two of the jury find Dam
iel +. Chase, engineer of the mail train, all
so guilty of carelesssness. Another juror
finds Louis G. Sands, conductor of the eX-
press, train, also guilty of carelessness.
Three other jurors find r. j. Race, COM
ductor, and Daniel f. Chase, engineer of
the mail train, guilty of carelessness and
inattention to their business, and recon-
mend that more definite rules be adopted
for running irregular trains. Sheriff
Sneedeker, .whbL was one of the jury, de-
clined voting on the question of the general
mismanagement lof the running of trains
and accommodation of passengers, upon
the ground that it Is an improper question
for theiury to determine; the only proper
question being, was the road mismanaged
that day, and IL so, by whom? G. c. Nc

ELLsLER's ATHENEUM.-That was an ex-
celleht entertainment at the Atheneum on
Saturday night. t"The Carpenter of Rou-
en-" as well as the farce of "Jones' Baby
was handsomely presented, and the ex-
pressions of qualification and delight by
the audience were all but universal. Mr..
Nagle's rendition of Marteau was striking
and just, and added fresh laurels to those he
has already won since his first appearance
on our boards. He is fast rising to eminence
as an actor. 3tma5lot,- Har0 NOV
1.-THE part Of Anton Bellard was well pre-
! sented by Mr.. Simcoe Lee. He is one OF
those from whom much may be expected
by study and practice in his profession
Few artists could have done better than
did Mr.. Geo. B. Hudson as De Saubigne,
whether as the disguised Monk or as the
Duke of Rouen. Mr.. Edwin Irving, both
in the drama and the farce, was equally at
home, and his comic acting was laughablY
ludicrous. Of Mr. Ellsler, we need not
speak, as his style Of impersonation, es-
pecially of the grave and solid in charac-
ter, is too, well known and too highly ap-
preciated in this community to need any
cOmmendation from us.
Miss Clara Morris appeared on Saturday
evening in both drama and farce, and her
presentations in both were excellent She
is young artistic for whom cultivation and
practice are accomplishing much, and from
whom much may be expected. Miss Jane
Parker's rendition of Madame Grander in
the drama was also excellent and with a
little clearer enunciation, which may be
easily acquired, she would have few equals.
We cannot specify individuals further in
this notice; but we may add with justice
that a stock company seldom did better as
whole at an evenings performance than
did Manager Ellsler's on Saturday night.
This evening the great play of "Rose-
dale" which has been received with un-
bounded applause, wherever properly pre-
sented, will be performed, the popular and
successful tragedian, Mr.. Lawrence Barrett,
appearing in the principal character. The
whole play is admirably cast, and its scenes
and incidents will, we doubt not, be fifty
represented. J0IJl1 .-.

jeff. Davis walked out yesterday for the
