THE FREEDMEN IN GEORGIA AND SOUTH CARO-
LIMA.
Gen. Howard to-day received an interesting
repor; from Gen. Saxtou reviewing his operations as
Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau for
the States of Georgia and South Carolina from the date
Of bis appointment Under the Confscation Act,
3l2Ol of land have been seized by the Bureau,
most of which however has been restored its former
owners by orders from the War Department The rela
tons existing between the Whites and Freedmen Of the
States mentioned are still unsatisfactory, owing to
lack of confidence in each other on both sides
The chief difficulty in tie way of adjustment Of the
labor question is the scarcity of capital and i is pTn
cpsy owing to the fact that large number OF the
freedmen are unemployed. Another excuse for in
doence among the coored people is the erroneous i'm
preston prevailing to considerable extent that the
Government will the list Of January next parcel out
10 the freedmen farm Of 10 each This impTes
sion Gen. Saxton has for long tine past been en-
LeGyoripg TO dispel by dispachng officers througlou:
he States for the purpose of enghtenng them as to
iher duties as freedmen.
The Generals representations relative TO affairs on
the sea Islands, to which large number of freedmen
immgrated during the war; taking possession of Rebel
plantations. is highly encouraging, crops Of all kinds
being greatly superior TO those produced By slave
labor. These islands having been given 10 the freed
men by military orders, and the occupants having by
their labor their satisfaction demonstrated
the advantages of industry decidedly adverse TO the
policy Of restoring the lands which they have long
occupied 10 their former owners.
The Assistant Commissioner recommends the pur.
chase by Congress Of the islands mentioned if lor
other purpose than to keep nvioate the pledges Of the
Government 10 the freedmen Gen. SaxtOn in concu-
sion, pays & wemerited compliment to the various
charitable societies Of the North who have literally
contributed TO the relief Of the destitute o. both races
