! Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau
for the States Of Kentucky and Tennessee
under date of Nashville, October 9Th
makes a very interesting report on the
condition of Freedmen in his Department.
\ from which we quote 1t shows eonelu-
siveiy that the workings OF the Bureau
have accomplished the most beneficial re-
suits, and he says, subsequently to my last
general report, l have visited many I'M
portant points in the district and brought
the good intentions of the Bureau to the
knowledge of thousands of people, white
and cOlored, who had heretofore but
vague notions of its expense and objects
am pleased to report the continued I'M
provement in the workings OF the Bureau
and an earnest desire on the part oil the
majority of the people that our agencies
should be extended. l have devoted my
self especially to breaking up all Freed
mems camps, refugee homes and hospltals,
/ resolved to make a clean sweep o1
them before the winter months came upon
us, and am able at this date to report
decided progress.

advised touching their new relations,
rights and privileges, and recognize the
Importance of industry, economy and the
requirement of intelligence.

through which cities and counties are
thrusting their sick and poor upon the
