Condition of the Freedmen

General Howard, OF the Freedmen's
Bureau, it is reported, is engaged in max
ing out his report as to the state Of the
people he has under his care. His report
(the General having recently made tour
through the Southern States) will embrace
full statement Of habits, condition, and
wants Of the freedman, and will provo
very important document. Most of the
reports Of the Assistant Commissioners
have been received, and give interesting
details concerning the relations existing
between the freedmen and their former
masters in tho several States.
1t is stated that the small pox is prevail
ing to a very great degree among the
t-oc3.ao.. iii Alabama, Georgia :.31 Viz
ginia, and but for the excrtion Of the
officers of the Frcedmen's Bureau, would
have spread throughout the South.
There is grave apprehension that tho
coming winter will be the scvcrest season
for the colored people; the sudden termi-
nation of their old relations with their
masters during the summer having left
most of them utterly destitute, with no
opportunity to support themselves by
labor.
These statements and apprehensions
are probably correct, but much of the ex-
pected suffering may be ameliorated by
the conduct of the freedmen themselves
We feel assured that if they have a dis
position to work, work may be found for
all, and we trust that they will show such
disposition and earn enough to support
themselves and family comfortably.

Restoration in mississippi.

Owing to the meagreness of the state
ment in the despatch from Mississippi,
published Saturday, purporting to give the
substance of President Johnson's instruc
tions to Governor Humphreys, we give by
authority full copy of the despatch,
which is as follows:
WASHINGTON, November II, 1865
B. @. Humphreys, Gore,nor-elect, jackson,
Mississippi:
The troops will be withdrawn from Mis-
vernment, peace and order and the civil
authority has been restored, and can be
maintained without them. Every step will
be taken while they are there to enforce
strict discipline and subordination to the
civil authority.
There can be no other or greater assur-
ance given than has heretofore been on
the part of the President or Government.
There is no concession required, on the
part of the people of Mississippi or the
Legislature, other than loyal compliance
with the laws and Constitution OF the
United States, and the adoption Of such
measures giving protection to all freedmen
or freemen, in person and property, with
out regard to color, as will cntitlc them to
resume all their Constitutional relations in
the Federal Onion.
The people of Mississippi may feel well
assured that there is no disposition arb-
trarily on the part of the Government to
the contrary, to simply and kindly advise
a policy that is believed will result in re-
storing all the relations which should exist
betwa eE the States composing the Federal
Union.
1t is hoped they will feel and appreciate
the suggestions herein made-for they are
offered in that spirit which should pervade
the bosom of ali those who desire peace
and harmony and a thorough restoration
of the Union.
There must be confidence between the
Government and the States; while the
Government confides in the people, the
people must have faith in the Government.
This must be mutual and reciprocal, or all
that has been done will be thrown away.
ANDREW JOHNSON
President United States

PARDoNs.-Comparati few applica-
tions for pardon, it is stated, are now COM
ing in at the Attorney Generals Office,
some days none being received and never
more than three hundred day. Some
time since, it will be rccollected, that the
President directed the suspension Of the
issue of pardon warrants, except by
special order. In obedience to those in
structions the Attorney General simply
examined the cases and forwarded such
as might be favorably acted upon to
the State Department, where an immense
quantity have accumulated. On Tuesday,
the President ordered that no more re-
uuisitions he issuAd from, tho Attorney
Generals Office, thus, for the present, sus-
pending most of the pardon business of
that department. About twenty thousand
pardons have been granted under the
amnesty proclamation. These include
eighteen from the District of Columbia,
about one hundred from Florida and two
hundred from Maryland, the number from
each State increasing in the following
order: Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi,
South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama and Virginia, the last three hav-
ing about 1900, $500 and 5000 rcspcc-

Cotton Supply.

II Is stated that NUMBER OF DanhcIS, III
.h:s country and England, with large capi-
talists interested in an abundant supply Of
cotton, are taking initiatory steps to or
ganize national cotton-growing company
in the Southern States. 1t is now shown
that the attempt to produce cotton in
India is failure. The only fear as to the
success Of tho present movement is the
uncertainty of obtaining the labor of jhe
former producers-the present frecdmt n.
It is stated, that to remove this apprehe l.
sion, Mr.. Conway, late of the Freedmen,
Bureau, in Louisiana, has been requested
to visit England, and that he will probably
leave in u few weeks.
If the capitalists and manufacturers
desire to procure even a moderate supply
of cotton they must so to work in earnest
to procure labor to prepare the soil, and
plant and cultivate. How MIR. Conway pro-
poses to remove the apprchensions of the
English capitalists, we have not learned;
and if his experience in the bureau, in
Louisiana, has given him any ground of
hope or confidence that the labor Of the
freedmen can be obtained in any degree
of either quantity or quality, taese people
must be more Industrious and reliable than
they are represented to be generally
throughout the South
But aggregated capital and associated
effort can accomplish very much. They
have, however, but q few months to do
what is necessary to be done. Besides,
corn and meat must be raised to feed the
laborers, whoever they may be; the lands
must be prepared, seed must be planted,
fences must be built, stock must be rrovid-
ed and agricultural tools and implements
furnished. 1t will require, not only means,
but promptness and energy to secure even
a moderate supply Of the great staple for
the coming year.

The Hon. Pierre Soule, our distinguished

three years of absence in different lands,
and is the guest Of y leading merchant,
the Frcedmens Bureau having possession
of his beautiful residence on Esplanade
street: The Rev. DR.. Leacock, expelled by
Gen. Butler three years ago, has also re-
turned and been warmly greeted by his
parishoners Of Christ Church and his
numerous friends throughout the city.

and we echo the voice of the people Of
New Orleans in cordially welcoming them

THE WHITE HoUsE.-There was quite
crowd of visitors at the Executive Mansion,
on Monday. Among those who called
were Lieut.. Cen Grant, Maj. Gen. Geary,
the rebel Gen. Albert Pike, of scalping no
toriety, and ex-senator Johnson, Of Arkan-
sas, who was member of the United
States Senate with President Johnson, and
who now is seeking pardon for his extern
slve participation i'll the rebellion. A
number of ladies were also present, urging
the claims Of friends for amnesty. One OF
these was quite earnest in behalf Of Harry
Gilmor, of Maryland. Mrs. Bishop, daugh-
ter of the late rebel Secretary of the Navy,
Mr.. Mallory, was there, endeavoring to OBJ
tain her fathers release on parole. The
statement that Judge Magrath and the
rebel Secretary of War, Mr.. Seldom, had
been released from Port Pulaski, and Go
vernon Lubbuck from Fort Delaware, on
their parole, is without foundation. There
is no probability that either will be set at
liberty very soon.
The Washington Union says:
''The President exhibited his remarkable
patience giving % o..2i. and g! the visitors
that peculiarly courteous attention so cha
racteristic Of him, illustrating his excel
lence of disposition and rare good nature.
cit gives us unfcigned satisfa ction to
state that the President is in the enjoy
ment of excellent health, bearing up won
dcrfully under the pressure ofpubGc busi-
ness weighing heavily upon him."

COLUMBIA.
Thursday Morning, Nov. 30, 1865.
The Observation-Disclosures.


Provisional Governor Perry took
formal leave Of the General Assembly
yesterday, just before the Inauguration of
Governor Orr, the newly elected Constitu-
tional Governor, and the first Executive
elected by the people of the State. The
ceremonies of the occasion were attended
by large assemblagc of ladies and gentle
men.
Governor Perry, in his chastc and ap-
propriate farewell address, pays high
compliment to the wisdom of the people
in their present state Of transition, and
a we'll merited tribute to the gallantry Of
the sons in the recent struggle for what
they honestly believed to be their rights.
He gives us great encouragement, as tho
ment in South Carolina, that she will soon
be restored to her rightful position in the
Federal Union. We, of course, expect and
believe that he speaks by authority.
Governor Perry takes the proper ground,
that the "Test Oath" does not apply to
members of Congress, as they are not
really officers of the Federal Government;
tuition is the only one that they can proper
ly be required to take. Governor Perry's
suggestions, briefly recapitulated in this
address, are we'll worthy CT conside ration,
and commend themselves to the good
sense Of the General Assembly.
In taking leave of Governor B. F. Perry,
we feel that we write the need awarded to
\ Nv fLa -ho1o '1n Of t1o Oft VIII
we pronounce an emphatic "weil DONE"
The inaugural address Of Governor Orr,
will be read with attention and interest by
the people of the State. 1t is the first
State paper from an Executive OF their
own choice, and as he is to be their Chief
Magistrate for four years, his views will
we'll command attention. His recapitula-
years, Of the causes Of secession, and of the
determination Of the people in all sinceri-
ty and honesty to return to their loyalty,
are all correct and satisfactory.
His recommendations as to the legisla-
tion necessary to secure the protection OF
his person and property to the freedmen,
will claim the attention of the General AS
rules of evidence, as to permit them tc
testify in all cases when their rights arc
involved He properly e1empts tho late
slaves from any responsibility in the change
which has come to them as the result of the
war. We endorse his recommendation
that the freedmen be treated kindly, and
that we should feel interested in their
elevation. Governor Orr intinatel that
in the future, some compensation may be
made to owners of slaves manumitted by
the Federal authorities.
The remaining recommendations Of our
new Governor are practical, AID address
themselves to the thinking portion of our
people. On the whole, Governor Orrs in
augnral address gives us ample grounds
for the belief that he will make wise and
patriotic Chief Magistrate, and that the
close OF his administration will witness a
vast Improvement in all the great in
terests which appertain to and form tie
groundwork OF the prosperity Of any
Commonwealth.

Monroe, now chiefly interesting as the

garrisoned by some companies of the 5th

ST the volunteers, is Still in command
During the confinement here OF Mr.. Davis
no one is allowed to enter the fort without
a pass. A correspondent of the Balti-
more Gazette is responsible for the fol-
lowing:
Mr.. Davis, since his imprisonment, has
twice had his hair cut. On the first Occa-
sion General Miles took possession Of the
hair which was shorn. On the second &C.
casion Mr.. Davis carried off his hair to
his quarters, but soon an orderly came
dashing up from the General and demand
ed the hair, but Mr.. Davis had already de-
stroycd it.
''The late Confederate President is al
lowed to walk upon the ramparts. Recent
ly large number of ladies, friends of
General Miles, posted themselves in such
a way that Mr.. Davis would have to pass
them. Mr.. Davis, seeing their object,
turned back towards his quarters. The
ladies were not to be TINS deprived Of a
close inspection, so they followed after him
at good pace, whercupon Mr.. Davis seat
ed himself and lit cigar, the odor Of
which must have been offensive to their
delicate senses, for General Miles sent
word next day that Mr. Davis was not to
be allowed any moro cigars
