GOVERNOR PERRY's POSITION
The publication Of Governor Perry's speech Of July
has excited storm OF indignant opposition the part
Of the radical Of the supporters Of the admnsta
tion The Governor has however, had very satisfactory
interviews with the President and Of the members
Of the Cabinet They express great confidence in the
loyalty and patriotism Of Governor Perry belief that
he will administer the duties Of his office with loyal
spirit and with the single desire TO restore speedily
possible the blessings Of assured peace and constitutional
loyal government to the people Of that State. The
plantations which Governor Perry has given Of that
speech, and the circumstances under which 1t was de-
vere have largely obvated the unfavorable impression
which some passages In II unquesonaby calculated
to convey.
Governor Perry and the accompanying delegation will
leave for South Carolina Monday next.
THE FREEDMEN AND GOVERNMENT PLANTATIONS.
Aspec.al government agent now travelling through the
Southern States, formerly member Of Congress and
prominent member Of the Committee on the Conduct Of

cities Of Memphis, vcksburg and New Orleans upon the
tions located in and about those vcintes At Memphis
considerable number Of freedmen had been taken to
plantations upon island two miles below that city
The inrm receiving supplies from government and
the others were working diligently.
In the vicinity Of vcksburg fifteen thousand freedmen
reported TO have located themselves farmers with
their families Twothirds OF this number had worked
on their own account last year. and been successful
that at the commencement Of tho present season was
very difficult TO induce them hire themselves To
these the government had furnished some seed and
articles indispensable TO farming, which were to BE-
hereafter paid for out Of their crops The report
that experience proves that the feasible method Of
securing livelihood 70 the negroes is to allow them
small pieces Of land for farming, thus teaching them
positive reliance upon themselves The writer also states
that wherever the blacks receive their pay promptly

twelve In the schools Of that city, together with about
four thousand adults who attending night and Sun

II not mpeded the writer states that the freedmen will
not long remain burthen to the government; and he
also states that largo number Of landholdcrs In that
collected from this class and their property
been mortgaged leased. He recommends that their
lands be assessed which would neccsstate their selling
leasing TO other parties thus making additional
opening for Northern capital and freedmens labor II Is
also suggested that Northern will not make such in
vestments while there exists fear of expulsion from
that domain and demands that they bo guaranteed the
protection OF the military.
It is stated that the cotton yield this year will no, be
above oncfourh Of average crop, and Of sugar not
than onetenth Corn, however, will be pro
duced beyond all previous harvess These yields based
upon the facts observed, that the freedmen work
much readily upon growing than upon cotton
and sugar from impression that they get their
wages readily from the former but fearful that the
latter will be exported beyond their reach for SALE and
thus mako their payment therefrom doubtful
