Passengers by the Fulton from Savannah,
report that the best of order is maintained in
the city, and few soldiers are visible in the
streets. Trade is limited, and prices are
regulated by law.
/ Just before leaving Savannah, the soldiers
were paid of, and they spent their money
freely. One nrm disposed of a stock valued
at $153 900 for SAT-, 600. Z a Is
1t is said that there is not as much suffering
in Savannah, as reported, for the reason, that
when Hardee evacuated the city, and before
Sherman took possession, the people entered
thestores and supplied themselves with good
stock. The wealthy citizens however did not
join the raid, and as consequence may now
be suffering, 1t is for them that the sub
scriptions at the north are being taken, and
the movement is not very unpopular among
Athesolders, who consider it as giving aid and
comfort to the real enemies of the country.

We regret that We have not space for the impor-
tan. and interesting report of Major-Genera Howard,
the efficient chief of the Freedman's Bureau. We,
however, present its main features. General Howard
says:
The act of Congress charges me with the super
vision and management Of all subjects relating TO
refugees and freedmen from rebel States, or from
any district or territory embraced within the opera
tions of the army under such regulations as may be
prescribed by the head of the bureau, and approved
10y the President"
On entering upon the discharge of these duties, ]
separated the bureau into four divisions. One OF
lands; embracing abandoned, cOnfScated and those
acquired by sale or otherwise. One of records en-
bracing official acts of the Commissioner touching
labor, schools Quartermaster and Commissary sup
plies.
Another of financial affairs, and the fourth, the
Medical Department.
To each OF these divisions | assigned an officer,
and secured the required number of clerks by APP
ponment and by detail from the ranks OF the army
Here follow circulars, instructions and other de-
tails.
Amount of Property held by the Bureau.
The tabular statement annexed presents all the
statistics respecting the quantity of property in pos
session. and the quantity restored, which can be
gained from the reports thus far furnished by the as
sistant commissioners of the bureau. About one
five hundredth COO2) only of the entire amount OF
land in the inSurTectOnary districts has ever been
held and had the plan of assigning 1t to freedmen
been carried out the bureau wOulG have been unable
to furnish an acre per family.

RICHMOND WING.
FRIDAY MORNING............DEC. %, 1865,
The President-General Grant-The South.

The two most eminent and influential men IN
the United States, with means Of information,
too, superior to all others, unite in bearing
testimony, upon both their official and personal
responsibility, to the SoundneSs and loyalty OF
the Southern people-President JOHNSON and
Lieutenant General GRANT. The most iacti-
Gus, bigotted and calumnious Of the extreme
radicals cannot accuse these high American OIL
ficials Of disloyalty to the Government, or Of
sympathy with rebellion. In their several
spheres they stand, above all others, conspicu-
Gus and pre-eminent for zeal, energy, ability
and devotion in the work Of thwarting Sc
cession and restoring the Union. They no"
lend the authority of their great names to the
public and official declaration, that " the rebel
lion 50 no longer exists, and that the Southern
States and people have honestly returned to
their allegiance. This may truly be charac-
terized as the highest human testimony, ana
cannot fail, however much Mr.. CHARLES sun
NER may grit his teeth in the Senate, and MI
TuADDEus STEVENS may crack his whip in the
House, to determine the legislation Of Con
gress, sooner or later, in favor Of the restora-
ton of the Southern States to their constltu-
tional status.
Those who wanted additional proofs that the
President is in favor Of the admission Of the
Southern Representatives to their seats in the
two Houses of Congress, will find those proofs
in his special message. One paragraph bears
specifically upon this subject. 1t is the fol-
lowing
From all the information in my possession,
and from that which l have recently derived
from the most reliable authority, l am induced
TO cherish the belief that sectional animosity
is surely and rapidly merging itself into
spirit OF nationality, aud hat representation,
connected lciR properly adjusted system Of
taration, will result in a harmonious restora-
ton of the relation Of the States to the Ma
tional Union"
This is a delicate but pointed reminder TO
Congress of the doctrine of the Declaration Of
independence, that taxation and representation
60 together.
The country will now breathe more freely.
A blind man may feel, If he cannot sec, that
the day Of our deliyerance is dawning. To
suppose that a crusade led by CHARLES SUN
NER and THADDEUs STEVENS against 4 policy
in itself wise, rational and just, and inaugu-
rated under the auspices of two such men as
President JOHNSON and General GRANT, to say
nothing Of numerous other men OF mark and
influence will succeed, is to suppose that the
American people have lost their senses.

which the House Of Representatives has been

the Queen, will be read by the Lord Chancellor
