The FREEDMEN's HoME.-FollowlnS
Gen. Sherman's triumphant march
through Georgia, were thousands OF ne
croes-men, women and children, seek
ing freedom and new home. And they
are still coming in crowds till it has be-
come difficult to find places for them to
lay their heads under proper shelter
Soon after the rush commenced q
number of philanthropic gentlemen and
ladies at this post determined to make
an effort for their relief until such time
as they could he scattered among the
Sea Islands in accordance with zen.
Sherman's orders. 1t was found that the
most of them were disposed to help
themselves if they could be shown the
way to do so. Many of the young men
had Joined the colored regiments which
were being organized here by Brighten.
NJ. S. Littlefeld. That gentleman went
among the new recruits-the most of
whom had received their bounty money,
and received in short time above $40, 200
for the purpose of erecting buildings
where the freed people could be tempor-
arily provided for. The lO3d Rest. U. S.
C. T. contributed nearly $1,000, and de-
tachments of the 2lst, 39l and 34th,
several thousands more.
Part of these buildings are nearly
completed. The main one is 100 feet
front and 20 feet wide with two wings
each 10 feet long all one story high.
They are located just outside the in-
trenchments on the ground known by
the old 10th Corps as "Vieles Camp"
Through the efforts of Mrs. G. Pills
bury and others, the New England Freed
mems Association have agreed to furnish
them throughout. Part OF the furniture is
already here and in very short time the
house will be in readiness to dispense its
bounties. Miss - Lille is to be tho
matron in charge of organizing this much
needed house of refuge.

The ONE-PER-CENT TAx-Many per-
sons here want to know what is being done
without the one-per-cent tax charged to
merchants here on all invoices of goods
brought into this port. We can tell them
a little about it.
Two fine engines with hose, hose car
riagcs and all the appurtenances complete
have 2.seady been purchased from this
fund ,s< an expense OF $4,000
The plank walk which now ends at the
Port Royal House, is to be extended
around the side Of the square, passing
our Office, the Post-O Office, Adams Ex-
press Office and Staff Stables, across the
railroad to the Commissary buildings !;
thence along these buildings and Terrace
Row to the guard house adjoining the
FoGa,e Sheds, and thence along Mer-
chants Row to Join the walk already
built. Commenting again where the
jINSSil l'itilh NbIh piL tON SlluS II
will be run to the Cathoi. Church,
thence rcross to the street between the
Provost Guard Hous, and the Engineers
buildings-to join the walk along the
beach. The beach Walk is to be extended
to the hospital, passing the New Hotel.
And then broad road is to be opened
to Mitchelville between the Port Royal
House and the Post Commandant's Quar-
terS. The Restaurant now in the way is
to be removed-a road graded above
high water mark and a substantial bridge
built over Deep Water Creek"
A drain of brick anil cement is now be-
ing built from the old swamp in rear of
Merchants Row TO the creek. I've hope
this will not operate as similar enter-
prise did at jacksonville few Years ago.
All this work is being done from the
fund raised BY the percent tux.

The MEXICAN Presidency.

The Constitutional term of President
Juarez expired by limitation on the 3Ist Of
November last. Among the Republican
statesmen Of Mexico there seemed TO be no
doubt as to whether be should continue 10
bis Office until another election could be
held agreeable to the Constitution and exi.
gencies Of the country, or whether be should
relinqnish the Presidency into the hands Of
Gen. Ortega, The Vice President. All true
Mexicans were however unanimous in the
frst opinion. Gen. Ortega, deemed II his
duty to be at the capital Of the Republic on
the expiration Of the Constitutional term,
in order to assume the charge Of public af.
fairs should the President Juarez deem it
proper to reloqnish his term. As rumors
growing out OF these circumstances pre-
judicial to the Liberal cause have been
circulated, the friends Of Mexico deny that
President Juarez and Gen. Ortegs, have
quarreled, and say the latter will submit
graciously to the determination of the for
mer, and continue as hitherto to uphold in
the field and cabinet the independence aud
integrity OF the Republic.

UNNATURAL MURDER BY MOTHER The
Detroit Free Press says that the village of
Battle Creek in that State is excited over
the suspected murder of three children by
the mother, a spiritual medium named
Mrs. Leonard. Mis-. Leouard had been
twice married, having two children by her
first husband, named Hayeland, and three
by her second husband, named Leonard,
whom she left few months since. She
had for some time been very intimate with
DR.. Baker, who boarded ia the same
house, with two or three other young ladies
who we're being developed as mediums
The party expected to set ont on tour
through the country in few weeks. and
the three Leonard children died last Thurs
day and Friday within q few hours of each
other. The youngest, girl aged four
years, died on Thursday noon; the second
a boy aged six years. died on Friday morn.
iog at 10 o'clock aud the third, boy
eight years old, died on Friday afternoon
at 5 o'clock. DR.. Baker certified that
they died from scrofuls; but suspicious
were aroused, and-tbe bodies were taken
up. Strong evidences of poison have been
discovered, sDd both the DJct or and The
unnatural mother have been arrested aud
committed for further ex mutation The
only motive assigned for the unnatural
deed was that the party might go through
the country without being eucu mbored by
the children, who would add largely 10 the
expense of travelling.
