Brig. Gen. j. S. Fullerton, of tho
Freedmen's Bureau returned to this
city last evening from q tour of obser-
Walton i'll Eastern; Fla, and, central
Georgia. The trip occupied about four
weeks and was productive of much
valuable insight into the operation of the
system adopted by the bureau for the
development of the freedmen. From Il
close observation throughout the States
alluded to, Gen. Fullerton is inclined
TO believe that the number of whites
and blacks who receivegoverhinent ra-
tions is about equal. Railroads and
other facilities for travel are rapidly
being restored to working order in
Florida and Georgin, and in passing
through the country there is no danger
whatever to be Rpprehcnded. IN
The cereal crops are represented to be
looking very promising and SO abund-
ant as TO put all fears of scarcity of
breadstuffs i'll those States ut rest.

starts with the Indian delegation on the
18th, for Fort Smith, to be absent about
two months.
a telegram was received Mt the Bu-
reau to-day from Senators Lame and
POmeroy, of Kansas, asking the agents
of the Indian tribes of that State to be
allowed to be present Mt the council in
question, as those tribes are DESTROYS
of locating themselves upon new
grounds. This privilege was granted.
Gov. Morton, of Ind, arrived in the
city to-day, and is understood to bo
here to urge the retention of Mr.. Hollo-
way rs Chief of the Patent Bureau. The
appointment of Mr.. IHleaker grows
more improbable from day to day until
but little likelihood now remains of his
appointment. Should Holloway be re-
moved the plOce would be claimed for
the State. Holloway is understood to
have been forced into rendering his res
| ignation. If championed by Gov. Nor
ton his fight for the position may be-
come formidable. i,Es-z
