Sherman, IL will be remembered, the freed.
men Of South Carolina and Georgia were
coloniEed on the abandoned plantations Of
the Sea Islands. Some people were much
offended because Gen. Butler, at the time,
disapproved Of the scheme. and predicted
that trouble would arise therefrom. The
trouble has come. The vagrant white owners
have come back to reclaim what was once
their own; the negroes having been removed
from their homes by authority Of the Govern
ment, now have notion, which the Charles
ton Courier seems to deem absurd, that they
have sort of presumption right as FIRST set
tiers. The usual stories arc told by the re.
cessidn papers Of the South about the condi-
tion of the colored men there-stories which
differ very materially from those which come
| from more reliable sources-and on every
hand appears the evidence Of the determine
tion Of late slave masters to break up every
effort on the part Of the colored people to
render themselves independent Of the dis
loyal landowners. But they will fail The
experiment has been carried too far. There
are few. men now so unintelligent rs to sup
pose that the freedmen Of South Carolina
and Georgia are not better able to manage
their own affairs than the Rhetts, the Toombs,
and the rest of their white neighbors.

The following expressive lines were written
by young lady of the Treasury Department ;
APELIcTIoE.
oh, maiden! why that look Of grief and woe
That comes often Ger thy fair young FACET
And whence those sighs, that ever come and goH
Is thy young bosom sorrows dwelling placer
She slowly raised to mine her troubled eye,
Which, like a star, seemed on the brow Of night,
And answered, with another long drawn sigh,
at is not that-my corsets are too tigh.''
