The Negro.

The Negro.
To THE horror Of his worshippers and pecu.
liar friends, the African Is being compelled to
learn some new lessons on this subject. He is
being taught that liberty is not vagabondage.
Some pretty rough experiences instruct him
We say it with sorrow; and to these are added
military orders for his information and govern
ment. Gen. Gregg, in Virginia, orders, for
| instance
Husbands must labor for the support of their
wives and families, sons for their parents, and
brothers for younger brothers and sisters
"Ncither the free men, women nor children
| have any right to remain on the plantation of
their former master, unless employed by him;
| and whenever the freedman ceases to be q good
hand and faithful laborer, and refuses to work,
the employer has the right to discharge him
and eject his family from the premises, either
by due course of law, or by the military author.
ity:
1.-THE freedman must recognize his responsi.
bility to live with and support his family; he
must provide them with house, food, clothing,
and all in his power for their comfort; he must
be responsible for their conduct-must compel
his sons and daughters to perform such work as
they are capable of; he is entitled to receive
their wages and obliged to provide for their
support. ~, ,,..,, .
run about at night from plantation to plantation,
but all arc urged to remain quietly at home on
the plantation of their employers, and, if
necessary for the maintenance Of good order
the military force will be used to compel them
to do so.
"They are forbidden to naraud or steal
The killing Of cattle, sheep, DC, by them
must be discontinued at once, or guards will be
stationed on the plantations, and any one de.
tected will be instantly shot They arc warned
that idleness and collecting in cities and towns
is fraught with the greatest evil to themselves;
II they are idle they will soon become thieves
and vagabonds; if they collect in cities and
towns suffering and starvation will be the inevi.
table result. It is only by remaining on the
plantations and working that they can hope to
be happy. They may as well understand first
as last the government will not maintain them
in idleness"
Negro delegations have waited on the Presi.
dent to tell him that they are oppressed by such
orders. These delegations, appealing from the
military government over them, say that such
freedom as theirs in Richmond is as bad as
slavery! No doubt they feel it so. Freedom
Is hard work, care, anxiety, with sufferings
sometimes as keen as those endured in slavery.
but the restraints imposed upon the colored
man by an order like that given above, are the
restraints to which white men are subjected
here at the North. We have jails for vaga.
bonds, for those who neglect their families; We
have poorhouses or warehouses for the idle.

PRESIDENT JoHNsoN.-It is observed (says
Washington correspondent that leading Dem
mocrats from various States, those W tn q clear

by the President, and have long and friendly
interviews with him. They leave him, saying,
"He'e all right" and they confidently predict
that there will be an entire change in his Cab.
met before great while. This statement is
repor. ed without the least interest in the mat
ter being felt by this correspondent. 1t is be-
lieved also that Mr.. Seward, forcseeing this
coming event, has minated his readiness not
to stand in the way of Cabinet reconstruction,
and that he is prepared to give his support to
the President hereafter, whether in or out of
place. The conduct of Mr.. Chase is supposed
to indicate his intention to form an extreme
radical party, and take his chance with it for
the next Presidency. As it is necessary he
should have Ohio to make q show for it, the
IT cent movement Of Senator Sherman is con-
sidered the first move Of the "knisht" for
this object-Utiea Democrat.

School Exhibition. "A
The closing exercises Of the McGregor
High School came of June goth. A fine
day favored the affair. The room was
crowded with the youth. beauty and talent
Of the city; it was beautifully adorned with
festoons and wreaths made by the fair
hands Of the young ladies Of the School,
In front vas fine painting Of the Pictur.

Gregor. As this was the commencement
of the long summer vacation look Of re-.
lief was seen on the faces Of some others
were radiant with smiles. while many
looked sad at parting from schoolmates.
The exercises were ably conducted. The
essays and declarations gave general salts
faction to parents, friends and stranger
auditors, while the Journal read by the
young ladies contained many fine compost.
ton. Where all were good it is unneces.
sary to single out any for special commen.
dstion. Some extemporancous speaking
enlivened the exercises. Judge Baugh,
Revs. Mr.. Wolfe and Mr.. Tucker, and others
addressed the audience very happily. At
short intervals several excellent songs were
we'll rendered. Prof. BARNES, who is es.
tsemed by all his pupils, brought the exer
cises to a close in few remarks which
were well received, and all went home de-
lighted with the pleasure Of an hour or 80
in the walls Of the McGregor High School
In conclusion We would say that while
80 much interest is manifested by the
teachers and scholars there seems to be .
lack Of II in the patrons Of the school; by
patrons we mean parents, guardians and
relatives of the young folks. We often
hear teachers complain that parents seldom
visit the schools to see if their children are
progressing in their studies. II would
seem that parents might spare one hour,
during term, to visit our public schools,
to let teachers and pupils know you take
q deep interest in their work. Such visits
stimulate both teacher and children in the
very important labors Of imparting and
acquiring that greatest of all ornaments, a
fine education.
We repeat, visit the schools early and
often. REPORTER.

4 Correction.
We are pleased 10 publish the following
letter Of explanation. Some parties, just
returning from trip to the end Of tho
road, told US that "the Junction" or Cous.
OVER, was played out, as the "fixins" were
being returned to Calmar. OF course we
could see no reason for it, unless the De.
corah project WAS also "played." We made
the inquiry in good faith. The interests Of
DEBORAH have been ours since we made the
Acquaintance Of the wide-awake, genial,
whole. souled business men Of that No. !
North Iowa city and It plagued Us to think
that anything like break. down on the part
Of either DEBORAH or the Railway Company
should have taken place. It Is possible
that Editors should await the confirmation
Of reports, but It is not always convenient,
particularly if We are just going to press
and DESTROYS Is oil publishers are to be
fully up to the local news. This paper has
made it point to defend the Company
from the imputatisn of unfair dealing with
DEBORAH and this fact had mere to do with
our alarm than anything else. With the
assurance here given by Engineer Couno.
yer, 70 trust DEBORAH and all others will
be satisfied that "the Branch" is fact,
awaiting Time only for its fullfillment.
NcGRrcoR, June 8oth, 1855.
Eos. TINES lin an article under The
head Of "NcGregor Western Railway" in
your last issue, I regret to notice that you
publish report, that "the Depot fixins
have been removed from CouSovER station
back to Calmar," which would indicate that
the r. r. Go. intend to abandon the De.
corah Branch. Up to this time there have
been no "Depot fixins" At CorxovsR sta.
stion; that, like all other reports about the
abandonment Of the DEBORAH Branch are
simply falseheods, reported to you no
doubt by designing persons, with view to
create distrust in the minds Of the citizens
Of DEBORAH towards the Railway Co. The
Branch has been constructed as speedily as
circumstances will permit, in accordance
with the contract made in good faith with
the people Of DEBORAH; it is the intention
Of the Company faithfully to perform, on
their part and to complete the Road to De.
e'rah At IS early day as possible-not.
withstanding the numerous reports to tho
contrary. -s..
