who know him as having been an estim-
able young man. His wife and child died
few weeks since, and he leaves no family.
He has sister in this city who is said to
be nearly bereft of reason at the sudden
shock, and several other relatives. He
has father, mother and younger brother

The Freedmen.

Colonel .. Brown, for the Frcedmen's
Bureau, has issued an admirable circular,
embracing instructions to the agents of the
Bureau in North Carolina. After calling
the attention Of the agents to their neglect
of duty in not requiring the freedmen to
make contracts for their services with the
farmers and planters, he states that the
principal feature Of this Bureau is not to
"supply any channol through which the
Government all or private charity shall be
dispensed, but to mako tho freedmen Il
self-supporting class of free labor, who
shall understand the necessity OF steady
employment, and the responsibility of pro-
riding for themselves and families. Where
employment is offered on terms that will
provide for the comfortable subsistence of
thc .aborers, removing them from the vices
os id1eness and from dependence on chari
ty. they should be treated as vagrants if
they do not accept it: and the rules of the
Bureau applicable in such cases should be
Tigldly enforced. While the freedmen
must and will be protected in their rights,
they must be required to meet tlcsc first
and most essential conditions of state of
freedom, visible means of support, and
-hdeity 10 contracts"
From this circular and others issued by
the officers in the different bureaus in other
Southern States, it is evident as the Will
:mington Dispatch says, that the freedmen
will not be encouraged in habits Of idle
ness, either by the officers Of the Freed
mems Bureau or by those who employ
them. They must work; and it will be well
for them to know and feel that this is the
,scase, before tho severity Of winter comes
'on. Nor should they be at all exacting in
uhsir demands for wages; it will require all
the energy and economy Of a majority of
the whites, in the South. to make COM
Portable living during the next year, and
ANY negro who has the guaranty of suffi-
cheney Of food and clothing to supply
his wants, at present, is indeed fortunate
being.
We trust that both parties, the employ
ers ard the laborcrs, will make such con-
tracts as will insure ut least sufliciency

GENTLEMEN: 1t is with desire to rcstor,
confidence, which has been so much i'm
paired III many districts, between the pro-
perty holders and negro labOrcrs, that
send You this communication.
The Commissioner deprccates the use of
any offensive expressions in the letters and
reports made and forwarded, and earnestly
enjoins L simple statement Of facts. All
acts of violence where freedmen are con-
cerned, made known by the courts or other
wise, should always be carefully recorded
and reported, whether the guilty parties
are white or black: but angry debates and
imprudent speeches must be avoided. Any
cbullitions of temper and expressions Of
dislike on the part OF the inhabitants to-
wards you, will naturally awaken feelings
Of resentment. Yet l bcsccch you, as in
dlvlduals who have an important trust
committed to you, - keep your duty stca-
dily IL view, and carefully abstain from
rccrimnatons
A. true fricndlincss 20 the freedmen de
mands that they be taught to look to the
purchase and rental Of lands must como
from the same source. On the part of the
employers, 1t Is equally urgent and for
their interest to secure the confidence OF
their employees. Schools, lomcsteads,
rentals, sales, church privileges, shares in
crops, good wages and kind treatment, arc
inducements that can be offered. Endeavor
to convince them OF the practicability of
these things, where the present circum-
stances have filled their minds with fore
bodinGs of evil, and where old habits make
them heartily disbcleve i'll free labor.
Have in mind examples of success, more
less complete. Oac or two that have
worked we'll tor the first two years will aid
You. 1t Will be som, time before matters
will settle so that there will not be jars.
Il
do not believe this is the general wish or
belief OF the people, whether white or

doing everything We can that will con
