TIE DeldHdre Ffeedmc1t's Relfef .lssocia-
tton met on Thursday the 23d inst. Rev.
Mr Whitaker, an agent of the American
Freedmcn's Commission, gave some partic-
ulars in regard to the organization and work
of the Commission; and to the condition and
wants OF the Freedmen. About 100, 600 pu
pills are now being taught in schools: and To
instruct these, !, 900 teachers are employed.
The colored people Of the South are taxed to
support erh0e schools; but, Notwithstanding,
they arc doing all they can to aid in sustain.
ing schools for their own race. The most
intense desire for instruction exists among
the Freedmen, and to meet and supply this
great want is perhaps the most important
work that the commission is called upon TO
perform. DIR. Masse OF England our well
known friend during the darkest period Of
the rebellion, after his recent visit Ia tho
principal southern cities, SAYS that the sys
TEN of education established by the Com.
mission is of the most admirable character.
1t Is one that reflects the greatest credit upon
those who originated and sustain it. He
found few of the schools supplied with
philosophical apparatus placed in some in
stances ON tables that short time previous
had served as auction biocks in the slave
sales There are now about 500, 600 colored
children who need instruction The great
want OF the South is teachers; and that none
but conscientious and christian men and
women will knowingly, he selected for this
great work. The character of the gentlemen
composing the American Frccdmen's Com
mission, OF which Bishop Simpson is Presi-
dent is sufficient guarantee.
