The hostile attitude toward each other
in some parts of South Carolina of the
whites and blacks is represented as as
phase threatening serious re-
suits unless the difficulties be speedily
adjusted. Especially is this the case
along portions of the coast and on the sea
islands, where the negroes have been es
tablished on the abandoned plantations,
subject to the control of the officers of
Bureau. The planters, who,
now that the rebellion has been crushed,
are anxious to regain possession of these
lands, allege that the freedmen are
allowing them to go to ruin, do not raise
enough for their own maintenance, are
totally neglecting preparations for next
years crop, and yet refuse to give up
possessions. The white South Caro-
linians are considerably incensed
against the Freedmen's Bureau officials,
whom they charge with encouraging
the negroes in their assumptions. 1t is
principally with the object of endeavor-
ing to adjust these difficulties, as we
have heretofore announced, that Gen.
Howard, Commissioner of the Freed
mems Bureau, is now on visit to South
Carolina. The General arrived in
Charleston on Tuesday last, by the over
land route from Raleigh, N. G., and left
the next day for Columbus, to have MI
interview with Governor Perry. 1t ia
expected that on his return to Charles
ton he will deliver an address to the
citizens. 1860 .4
Mr.. Henry Giles, the essayist, critic
and lecturer, is very poor, and 10 now
confined by illness TO his house in Quinn
cy, Mass. Such is his enieebled cond-
ton that he is obliged to send his wife
into the lyceums of New England and
the West to read his lectures, in order
that he and his children may have
bread. Will the Bostonianspermit this?
Mrs. Giles is herself u delicate lady. She
is i'm no way qualified todeliver lectures,
and we are sure that nothing short of
dire necessity would have driven her TO
this extremity. We hope some one will
take the case of the sick scholar in hand,
and see to it, that he who has furnished
intellectual entertainments to the acad-
emies of New England for thirty years,
is not allowed to suffer for food in the
town in which the Adamses and the
Quinceys were born. Let Gardner
Brewer, E. S. Tobey, Henry J. Gardner,
Amos a. Lawrence, and other rich and
solid men of Boston, take the case of
Mr.. Giles in hand, and make up purse
for him.
