The Washington correspondent of the
Independent defines tho position Of Pres.
iden, johnson on the question of negro
suffrage, a. follows: 3-4f 3f,e =
The President has informed no man
not even a member Of the Blair fami--
ly--that he is opposed to negro suffrage;
but he has asserted 10 the presence Of
many Republicans his personal preferenc CO
for universal suffrage. His position is
no, dlssimilar to that taken by DR.. Bish.
nell in New Haven last week. He is
not clear 10 bis OWE mind respecting the
proper method Of attaining the desired
result. Those who. are Intimate with
him say that the rebelliovs conduct of Q
large portion Of the people Of Tennessee,
South Carolina and Virginia - very
rapidly driving him to the conclusion
that the black man of the Sonth must
have the ballot before political power a.
accorded to tho former, rebels Of that
section However that may be, it is.
certain that the President is not opposed
to negro suffrage, and has authorized
no man to say he is. -..-,.-, -, :. -
The Wilmington Herald of the 10th
says: The investigation, made BY Gems.
Ames and Duncan and Col. Doneson,
shows tina, the negroes in Fayetteville,
n. c., and vicinity have been cruelty
treated BY not only civilians but the
civil authorities. Two negroes were
,Icdup and publicly whipped BY the
Sheriff Others were left tied until a
storm prostrated the rees to which, they
were tied, holding them to the ground
until relic! came. Citizens, too have
presumed to exercise the authority of
masters over these people and punish
them as they saw fit. 1t is said some
Of the negroes have been killed. Troops
are DOW under orders to proceed to the
locality to put a stopto these abuses.
The Times correspondent, writing
from Columbus, Ga, says ITO one who
was acquainted with this country before
the wa. and contrast its former with it's
present appearance of desolation and de-
struction,- it is something terrible
What people along the road from Chat.
auooga to Atlanta are to do for food the
coming winter is the question. The
wheat, corn, aud oat crops of the Middle |
States have suffered from heavy
rain, while this region has been parch,
ed by drought What little corn there
is planted will not yield half; crop -
From Atlanta to Columbus it is but lit
tie better, but more has been planted
The scarcity Of money and the pressing

crowd Of pale, 1sickiy looking white ,
women; by the ragged, but more robus,
black women and BY the children Of all !
co'ora, grades and sizes, with baskets of .
fruit, eggs, and pies to sell, who press
about the trains at every stopping place.
Should these be iu want of food the |
coming winter, the condition Of tho
freedmen can be better imagined than
described. The feeling against them
among all classes is intensely hostile and
bitter The old leaven of slavery still
works in tho mind of former masters,
aud they comfort themselves in secret
