MAJOR GENERAL DANIEL L. SICKLEs, nc.
eompanisd by Lieutenant A. NJ. Raphael, Of his
staff, arrived In town last evening, and Is at the
Metropolitan Hotel.
Col. BRows, Commissioner of Freedmen
for Virginia, issued address to the colorod
structing them with regard to their duties lie
tolls them that, having become free and placed
In . position to receive the proceeds Of their
labor, 1t remains for them to answer to the world
whether they will be industrious aud prove able

the protection and assistance Of the Government
and all good citizens in their efforts, and warns

which no leniency will be shown. Schools are
to be established among them, Of the benefits Of
which they must avail themselves, and they are
reminded Of the great responsibility which now
rests upon them Of shaping the destiny Of their

GKN. HArcH, commanding the district OF
Charleston, Bouth Carolina, has learned that
some ofthe planters, in their contracts for labor
made with the freedmen, have introduced clauses
establishing system Of peOnage, the negro being
bound to work out any debt he may hereafter
incur TO his employer In consequence, the
General has issued an order declaring that all

COLONEL II. II. Eek KERT.

Colonel ECKERT was appointed Assistant
Secretary Of War about two months ago,
upon the notice of Mr. DANA, given ut that
time, of his intention soon to resign his Of.
fee of Assistant Secretary of War; owing to
tho failure of tho rebellion and the general
closing up of the official business consequent
thereto. The affairs of the War Department,
and that of the several Assistant Secretaries
especially, has materially changed and been
gradually diminishing. On the retirement oI
Mr.. DANA Colonel ECKERT will not only con,
tinuc to perform many of the duties he has
heretofore executed, but will assume some Of
those recently performed by Mr.. DANA. II
should be rocolcctcd that many of the duties
transacted heretofore by Mcssrs. DANA and
ECKERT have ceased to exist in consequence
of tho closing of the war. Much of the bust
moss of several of the Departments will ncces.
sarily have TO be reorganizcd Colonel Eek
Enr will in future occupy the room recently
vacated by Mr.. DANA.
The promotion of Major ECEERr is one
ominently fit to bo made. No man has
served tho Government more constantly oi
faithfully, or rendered more efficient service
during the rebellion than ho. His duties
have been of the closest and highest conf
dcntal relations to the Government, anC
have always been promptly, ably, and salts
lactorily performed.

Rev. HENRY WARD BEECmER makes tho
following pertinent remarks upon the cOndi.
tion of the South, which was recently in u
very tight place;
"When misjudging beauty, for the sake
of making fair appearance, violates every
law of health, is taken out of an audience
iainting, tho policemen know enough to put
Il knife where the cords arc that Obstruct her
breathing and cut them; and whom that is
done, sho can bo brought to. So long as she
is laced tight there is no play for her lungs;
hut the moment she has free use Of herself
throw water in her face, and give her fresh
air and she will come to. Now, the South
has been tightly laced. She has had no free
press, no FREQ pulpit, no free discussion of any
kind and it is impossible to bring cOmInu.
nifty to that is in the synoOpo which follows
war, until you let their lungs expand to their
utmost extent, so that they can draw full
breath. And if we will pour the light which
free press, n free pulpit, and free discussion
carry with them, into the South, the dark
ness will begin to lift itself and pass away,
and there will he such change take place
there as we have no conception Of. l tell
you, there is great medicine in FREQ thought
beating like blood freely up and down through
tho body-pOlilic and We are going to see that
in our day"
