THE FRERDMEN,s BUREAU.

Major General 90. HOWARD, Commissionec
for the Freedmen's Bureau, had returned from
an extended tour, principally in the West
and Northwest, and has just received some
important reports respecting the freedmen q
affairs. l,- .a
A communication has been received at the
Freedmen's Bureau from General Clinton B.
Fiske, Assistant Commissioner for Kentucky,
Tennessee, and North Carolina, dated Au-
gust 20, from Chattanooga, Tenn, in refer
ence to freedmen's affairs in Tennessee.
lie states that it has been his constant e.
fort to break up all contraband camps in his
district and encourage the freedmen to seek
labor in tho country and not congregate in
cities and towns, and he has been measurably
successful. He has broken up every contra
band camp in East Tennessee, and at this
date not one hundred colored people at and
eastward from Chattanooga are drawing from
the Government rations. ..1..,f..
In this region he found fifty whites to one
colored person subsisting off the Government.
The camps at Huntsville and Tunnel Hill will
be imme diately broken up. Those at Gallatin
and Henderson are closed The colored peo-
pie who came into East Tennessee from North
Carolina are returning to their old homes
The Legislature Of Tennessee, at its approach
ing session, it is expected, will concede the
right to colorod citizens to prosecute in the
civil courts, and to give testimony in all
courts.
The desire on the part of the colored peo-
pie to be educated is indeed marvellous. They
literally hunger and thirst after knowledge,
and in some places are themselves contribu-
ing literally for the support Of schools. At
Greenville, the homo Of President Johnson
his colored neighbors have raised sixty dol
lars per month to pay teachers. The sus-
pension of the Bureaus, agencies will dis
courage many, both white and blnck. who
found its officers Of material benefit to both
classes.
Colonel WHIrrLEsEY, Assistant Commits
sioner of Freedmen, at Raleigh, N. c., re-
ports that the whole number Of rations issued
in his department in July was two hundred
and q ifteen thousand two hundred and eighty
FIVE. From this statement 1t appears that
the number dependent upon the Bureau for
support is only seven thousand one hundred
and seventy-six. A larger number have not
received full rations. 1t probable that the
whole number supported entirely or in part
will not fall short of ten thousand. He says
if an energetic officer be stationed in every
county nearly all the evils now complained
of could be corrected. Many cases of cruelty
towards the freedmen have been investigat ted,
and several offenders are now awaiting trial
before a military commission. rI Do.

RELEASED on HIS Own TESTIMONY There
is Humane Statute" in Maine which per
mits prisoner arraigned for murder to testi
fly in his own behalf, A case has recently
been tried in that State in which n man,
charged with killing, was enabled 10 resute
the evidence against him and obtain bis re-
lease The testimony Of witnesses left no dor =.
that the prisoner killed the person alleged;
but as the deed was done in the dark no one
but himself could know whether it was in
self-defence or not. The remarkable sim
plicity and apparent truthiulnsss of the pris-
Oner, his prompt and ready answers, freedom
from all contradiction and equivocation, and,
in fact, every test Of truth were so striking,
that the court, jury and the crowd of listeners
were all convinced that he was fully justified
in the killing. Without his own testimony,
however, he would probably have been SO.
verely dealt with by the law. The new act
was passed at the last session Of the Legisla'
ture Of Maine.

CENTRAL PACIFIC RArLRoAD-The Central
Pacific Railroad Company has purchased q
controlling interest in the Valley Railroad,
extending from Sacramento City to Folsom,
thereby securing the central route between
Sacramento and Washoe, via Placerville, and
retaining also possession of their original
route to Washoc, via Dutch Flat. This has
been followed by consolidation of the two
stage companies hitherto using both routes
over the mountains and their concentration
on the Dutch Flat route. This movement
greatly strengthens the Pacific Railroad Com
pany by destroying all opposition, enabling
it to charge such higher rates for passage and
freight as will make the completed portion o.
their road pay handsomely. The people Of
Washoe and along the Placerville route are
greatly disappointed ut the change, as it af,
fects their interests unfavoraby.
