CONDITION OF THE FREEDMEN General
Howard has issued 40 order requiring frequent
and exact financial reports from his assistant
commissioners, to whose discretion many
things must necessarily be entrusted. Those
who are familiar with the condition of the
freedmen say that the question of pressing
urgency with them now Is, not whether they
shall vote this fall but whether they shall
starve this winter, as many thousands Of them
must unless their wants are supplied by the
people of the North. The negroes-some
because they are disinclined TO work and
others because they could find nothing to do
have accomplished omparatively little since
their emancipation. To great extent they
are now without food, or any provision for
the coming winter. William King, IN
ion man from Georgia, addressed meeting
of merchants in Boston on he wants Of the
coloted people in his state. He said the
stock and crops were nearly exhausted In
Savannah some $500 to 1000 of the poorer
classes were fed by Northern hberality. The
owners Of cotton generally lost what they had
and there was no capital upon which people
could rely for supplies. The cotton and rice
crops being the principal dependence of the
people, aud requiring continuous labor, the
first Of twelve months and the other OF nine
had been neglected for want Of labor that
could be depended upon
In relation TO the blacks, he said the ac-
counts were exaggerated on both sides, con-
corning their disposition to labor but it was
true that many Of them were in destitute
condition, and must be provided for until
they can be placed in a condition to make a
living for themselves Mr.. King forclby
urged the adoption Of some measures by
which the negro would receive advice and
control, and hoped northern men would go
south and employ them with reference TO
their benefit, on small plantations. Unless
cared for they would to great extent die,
the mortality now being fearful among them
