the Cooper river. and enlightening them
as to the orders of Gen. Thatch, concerning
the making of contracts with Freedmen.
returned to this city last evening. He
called upon the various planters in st.
Thomas and st. Denis parishes, and found
them cheerful and willing to do all in their
power to promote the interests of their
common country.
Their great annoyances are the dcpreda-
ions committed by rowing bands of idle
and dissolute people, the majority of whom
are colored. They are eager to obtain a
supply of field and farming implements:
and are also in want of horses, mules and
wagons. Large crops are not looked for
this season. ...-..- &c. ...-...
Inc planters received Ensign Neill and
his associates with the utmost ciyilitv. and
spread before them the best that their housas
contained. In their conversation they a6-
mitted the total failure of the rebellion.
and expressed themselves solicitous to see
harmony and reunion again revived.
