REPORT FROM MISSISSIPPI
Adyices from Mississippi, that have
been received at the Freodmen's Bureau
represent an unsatisfactory state. of at.
fairs existing in that State in relation TO
the freedmen. Many Of the Courts still
refuse the admission Of negro evidence,
Notwithstanding the proclamation Of the
Governor, and cvincc an: Intention to
evade, in every way possible recogni.
ton of tho rights Of the frecdmen.--
Teachers for the freedmen, sent out BY
benevolent Northern societies, arc leav-
ing their schools with the withdrawal oil
our troops, decmiug it unsafe to intrust
themselves among people who are pro.
fessedly their bittcrcst enemies. .
DEBATING posrMAsTERS IN TIE SOUTH
Three hundred and si1ty.onc thou
san four hundred and five dollars and
ninety cents is due to the Government
from the delinquent PostmastOrs Of the
Southern States, which they retained
when the rebellion broke out. They arc
now bciDr called on for this amount
The Virginia postmas'crs are most il
arrears, owing SG6,90t. AS all their
securities were required to have real es
tate, it is believed that the larger portion
Of this sum can be recovered. In 1861
their refusals to pay thesums were Otter
abusive and arrogant; now their tone il
apologize and pleading.
