The Frecdmen's Burenu In tennessee


NEW YoRK, Sept. S.-The Herald's
special says, Gen. Fisk, Commissioner
for the Freedmen's Bureau in Tennes-
see, reports to the Department from
Nashville, under date of Sept. I'd, that
n large number of former slnVe owners
have testified their desire to cooperate
with the Commissioners by all the
means in their power to secure tran
guilty and order, butin addition there
to are many who refuse to accept the
new condition of things and resist the
action of the government as far as is
practicable without endangering per-
sOnal safety. Much of the trouble and
agitation now existing in this State is
| owing to this class of citizens. The
Freedmen'S Courts are crowded with
applications for justice and hard earned
wages which are withheld from the col-
ored people, and the crack of the whip
and the use of the shackles are in many
localities as common as in the days of
labor during the coming year will do
much towards regulating wages and
securing their prompt payment. on
the first day of July Inst there were
1,l5O negroes subsisting on the govern
ment in cOntraband camps OF Tennes-
see while now there are but 979, who
arc chiefly aged, infirm and orphans
of colored soldiers. The refugee estab-
lishments at Nashville, GAINESVILLE and
Memphis were on the LIST of July last
subsisting at the expense of the gov
eminent 1859 dependents, in addition
to the Large number drawing rRtions
for their families ut home. Oft form
or lumber there are but IL remaining
inmates in the refugee establishment

| ished with the public bounty.

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The Herald's
Vera Cruz correspondent, of the 18th,
says:
Since the sailing of the Vera Cruz.
on the l4th, there hns been but one en-
gagement of note, and that is the cap

nearly 80 leagues south of the city oil

a week ago to-day, the commander
of the Austrian troops there, was iu-
formed of the approach of a body OF
Liberals. He Immediately made appli-
cation to the Project for assistance, and
was furnished with few auxiliary
troops, and at their head he marched
out to meet the approaching enemy,
whom he found to be formidable
force under command of the gallant
Liberal commander Gen. Eeguera,
whose force, having been augmented
by republicans under command of Col.
DioS, presented quite an array. The
commander of the ImperialistR saw his
only saGety was in flight, and at once
retrented to the town, where, being met
by the Project of the district; the latter
advised the evacuation of the city, but
the commander chose to make an effort
for defence, and retired with his forces
to convent, hoping there to resist the
Liberals until succOr could be obtained
from the adjoining towns, but the Lib
ernl army Mt once surrounded the town
and compelled his surrender. Couriers
were dispatched north to OriZaba by
the Project on the approach of the
enemy, and reinforcements were sent
to retRke the Chuycnn.
n detachment of French troops, in
fact the entire garrison of OriZaba, were
ordered there. Gen. Fegnera and Col
ChnS. Dios, however, had no intention
of remaining in the town, and after
securing MI the ammunition and arms
of the garrison, raised forced loan OF

The Wirz Trial.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.---Col. Chapman
said lie now proposed to introduce docu-
mentnry evidence to show that the De-
partment at Richmond had knowledge
of the condition of the prison Mt An
Jacksonville. In May last, Capt. @. NJ.
Selph of the rebel army, and ford years
in the Adjutant Generals office at
Richmond, identified the hand writing
of Howell Cobb. In a letter dated May
9Th, 1864, to Adjutant Gen. Cooper, Cobb
said he had examined the prison and
prisoners, and its character is well un-
derstood at Richmond, and thereon
gives no description. The danger of
the prisoners escaping was not so great
as he had supposed. With n guard of
100 men, four pieces of artillery and n
cavalry company, all apprehension of
escape could be quoted. He had ar
try, force he recommended for the
erection of a hospital building outside
of the prison.
Such is the opinion of every sensible
man who has examined the prison.
The prison is:already too much crowded
and no additional prisoners should be
put there until it has been enlarged.
The effect of increasing the number
within the present area must be II ter
rifle increase of sickness and death dur
ing the summer months. / understand,
he SAYS, an order has been issued for
enlnrging the prison. II 1t were possi-
BILE to make another prison il would be
much better, for 1 doubt very much
whether tho water will be sufficient for
the accommodation of the increased
number ofprisoners. The general man-
agement of the prison under Col. Per-
sons is good. The duties of the inside
command IRE admirably performed by
Capt. WirZ, whose place it would be
difficult to fill. still think the rank
of the officer of the post should be II

Der of troops that will be under his
