The Heralds Washington special has
the following:
The saairs Of the freedmen in Arkansas
arc represented ss in most prosperous
condition. In letters received to-day at
the Freedmen's Bureau from Col. Strong,
now making tour of examination in that
portion of the South for the purpose Of OBJ
serving the working of the system now
being tested by the Bureau, the writer
says that in the Little Rock district alone
theEe are 8, $50 freedmen who are now en-
ployed in pursuance Of orders from the
Sec :etAry Of War st the following rates OF
wages: Eirst class male lsborers receive
from $25 to $50 per month and rstions
and first class women ls6orers receive from
SIS TO $lS per month and rations.
Half of the wages of these employees
are paid 10 them every two months, and
the balance Is ordered TO be retained fol
them 10 the end OF the year.
OF the above number of laborers, up
wards of 2, 900 are employed by some forty
three lessees of plantations. The latte
profess to be entirely satisfied with th,
labor they receive from the freedmen, anC
have but little trouble with them. They
claim that the established rate of wages j
too high, and that the freedmen have re
ceived one dollar more than is charged q
any point on the Mississippi Valley. The
estimate that their cotton will cost then
from 20 to Is cents per pound when bsleC
and ready for market
Col. Strong remarks in this connection
that if planters are not at fault in thei
calculations, no money will be made on Ia
cotton crop.

Eecre1arY s1anton,s order.


Secretary Stanton has issued an impor-
tsnt order 10 General Howard, Chief of
the Bureau of Refugees and Freedmen. 1t
provides that all orders issued by post, dis
trict, or other commanders, adopting any
system of passes for, or subiecting them to
any restraints or punishments not imposed
on other classes, are declared void; that
neither whites or blacks will be restrained
from seeking employment elsewhere, when
they cannot obtain it at q just compensation
st their homes, and when net bound by vol
untsry agreements and that they will not
be hindered from travelling from place to
place on proper and legitimate business.
This order of the Secretary has respect 10
equal justice and the personal liberty of
freedmen, which should be their right as well
81 the right of all other persons, and places
freedmen and thercitizsns and inhabitants
upon an equal footing in one or two of
the most Important respects which can be
contemplated. The conviction is growing
daily stronger among the unprejudiced,
and is extending its pleas among those who
have CHERISHED NEST warmly their bigotrieE
on the subject. The order of the Secretary
is one of the initial official intimAtions
which will continue to intimate the mOdi-
fcstion of public opinion.

WHAT SLAVERY Has DONE.

Our land is swarming with thous.
Snds Of cripples some have lost legs and
others armsj why do not these men 20
abroad smopg the people and hold up their
shattered limbs and tell the STAKEHOLDER,
"This is what your institution has cost me.
While you we're basking in the sunshine
and safety at home, was at the 'front.'
When slavery took the form of armed re-
belliOn, and soldiers were called into the
field TO put it down, you found irresistible
| destinations in the attractions of home-
| did my duty. I return now 10 my
home to drag out, through a few linger-
| ing years, q miserable life; but mock
me not. do in Heavens name, imolore
you to stop this eternal parade before
my aching eyes of this most odious in
sLitution." Oh, that had the power to-
night TO bring together all the shareholders
of this land and have them look on in
solemn silence, while the crippled, the
widows and orphans that have been made
by this war, could pass before them in
grand review and tell their tales of misery
and WOE that slavery has brought upon
them; were their hearts not made of stone,
they would melt while gazing on such a
scene, and with one voice say: Let the land
be at once rid of the curse that has caussd-
such dreadful scene. But suppose we
have no personal grievances over which to
mourn, let Oaet our eye down along the
banks of the mighty father of waters, and
tneu returniIssI sts-F aeain at pa-rS~ille,
snd glance along that brosd and deep
channel over which the red tide of bsttle
rolled through the gorges of the Cumber-
land and down along the plains of Georgia,
on to the sea. Then pursueit around through
the Oarolinas, to Raleigh, and sll over
the crimsoned soil of Virginia, and as you
count the almost countless graves that lie
all along the banks of that river of blood,
thick IS "autumn leaves in Vallambross,
pause for one m 0ment TO contemplate the
seas of tearg, the psroxysms OF unutterable
agony, all these must have cost when
somebody's darling" had to fall st every
blow, and then tell me, if you can, when
you Know that slavery caused it all, can
you still cling to it2 It has filed the lu-
nstic asylum with mAniacs, It has filed
houses Of refuge with psupers. It has
filed your land with fraternSl blood. 1t
has snapped in twain the tenderest ties of
social society. It has caused desolation TO
reign in princely palaces, where happiness
had always held Its revels 1t has smitsen
with want aud woe millions who were
bern in the lap of luxury.
How, under Heavens name, can any
mortal MAJ, not given over 10 the demon
Of selfishness, desirs to see such a cause of
sorrow and suffering injury and infamy,
hypocrisy and hate, perpetusted among
demonstrations of his country In Heavens
name, implore you, strike at once, and
deal it q death blow. Let it be proclaimed
from the ends of the rivers to the ends OF
the earth, that we live in land of univer.
sal liberty, where the fires OF patriotism,
being rekindled, will glow on as brightly
as ever, in Union that has battered down
the walls of treason.
