Charleston. correspondent says the corre-
spondence between Secretary Seward and

General Howard, Commissioner Of the,
Freedman's Bureau, on the 18th inst, in
an address explanatory Of the objects of
the Freedman's Bureau and his present
visit to the South, delivered in presence Of
Mayor Macbett, the Common Council and
prominent citizens of Charleston, made
some important announcements. The
General spoke Of the hostile feelings to-
ward the Bureau in Charleston. The
Mayor acknowledged it, and said he had
no hope for the country until civil gov.
ernment was restored. Gen. Howard said
it was the clamor of politicians, but he
had generally found planters favorable to
the continuance of the Bureau. He him
self, as well as the President, wished that
civil law should again be untrammeled
by military power; but the negroes hav-
ing lost the protection of their masters,
need some guarantee for the safety of
their interests, and until the State should
allow freedmen to testify in courts, he
was free TO say the Bureau would con-
tinue. The President, he said, would be
very clear of surrendering the State to
civil law until a stop was put to the out
RACES on the blacks. The General gave
very encouraging replies to the planters
who are seeking the restoration Of their
former property. He said he hoped to
see wholesome laws, guaranteeing the
rights Of freedmen, passed by the Legisla-
ture, and the present difficulties between
the two races settled. He announced his
purpose Of establishing courts, to consist
of an army officer and two citizens, to
take cognizance of the present complaints
by or against colored people. General
Howard subsequently, addressed the ne
groes, and then took his departure for the
Capital, to confer with Governor Perry.
