The Great FTtedmen's Farm In Lower
marylAUA.
Fr$n%a w.. En- Vorb


In Lower MaEy1a1d there are what Is
known as Government Farms, numbering
Eome thirty thousand acres Of rich and ARA
ble laEds, twenty-five hundred Of which are
now under cultivation and yielding a snug
Income 10 the Government. Some Of the
State is growing there. cultivated by about
ght hundred freedmen. They no without
the fear Of any corporal punishment hanging
over them, and Jet they Terk harder because
thtIr pockets are affaeted hT It. They arc
under The Surveillance OF a "gan.smsn &C.
lscted from theIrnumber, the CID term s'oger-
seer" like all Southern Institutions, having
become Of. Is: last growing, obsolete. The
s'gangsman" has charge Of gang OF twenty
i've or thirty, and reports any lack Of indus
try or shlrkfng Of duty, when the miraculous
member Of the gang has bis pay curtailed at
the eud OF the month. This mode works
well ard so do the worImen themselves.
The rules for the government Of the farms
are strict, and enforced in . military man-
ner, any misbehavior or inftactlon Of rules,
being punished BY dismissal from service,
while these who work we'll are rewarded bv
receiving an extra Issue Of clothing. The de'd
hand receives $40 pei month while the
t.gauesman'' gets bl5, the par being
graduated so as to salt the ability OF cond1-

Ing been set apart for their use and compe-
tent teacher engaged. To thosa who are
etrIct In oheyfng the rules plot Of ground
Is allotted for the cultivation Of such Vegeta-
b1es as theY may Wish to raise, but the super
iutendent has found 1t necessary to prohibit
the raising Of pigs and poultry by the hands,
flom the. fact that there Was large amount
OF 1atlons. consumed In support Of those
pets, that might have been saved to tbs gov
e1pment. This Of conrBe causes some dfssat-
IaIactlon amongst those who have been al-
ways allowed that privilege by their former
masters.
These freedmen arc said to be contented
and happy, and fully satisfied with their lot.
There arc exceptions, Us usual, In all bodies
Of men, whether white or black, aud these
exceptions grow partly out Of . desire for
constant change aud partly because
ttey are Tersricted ID certain prI-
vileges which they formerly enjoyed,
the raising Of vegetables and poultry. A
body Of these sable malcontents, probably
fifteen In number, came up to the headquaF-
ters after work, and stated their desire to 20
back to their old homes In Virginia. Their
only reason for desiring the change was the
embargo placed upon fowl raising. They Of
conrse are allowed to 20 at pleasure, and
transportation Is furnished them as far Us
Washington. The majority Of them, howey-
ever, prefer working for the Government to
returning to their old homes and riEking the
uncertain welcome they may receive.
