LETTER. FROM PORT ROYAL.

Ponr ROYAL, October 18th, 1866.
The summer has passed very pleasantly in this
neighborhood and without any startling events.
The season has been heathy,-the doctors might
say staryingly so. In the town OF Beaufort have
heard of only one adult white person dying OF
foyor two old men from age and debility, two chill
dren from diseases incidental to that period Of life,
and one from accident. AS regards the colored
population, as they like to have themselves desg-
nated have no means of ascertaining the NOR
tality..I have been informed that numtcr have
died from starvation, filth and neglect. I never
heard of any dying OF starvation before the war.
There is now much excitement in town from
crowds of negroes coming in from tho neighbor-
ing islands to sell their cotton, which they bring
in mostly in small bags and sheets, just as they
gather it from their patches 1t is sold at about
ten cents per pound or bartered for goods. There
is an unusual numborzin town the past week, as
the Tax Commissioners arc carrying out the
Frecdmans Bureau Bill in selling out tho re-
mandcr Of the lands OF this parish that have not
been already sold. To the negroes the price fixed
Is ono dollar and fifty cents per acre. 1t is said
that no white person is allowed to bid. These
lands arc worth from thirty to fifty dollars per
acre, and came into the hands of the late proprie-
tors from their Revolutionary ancestors. st is
suggested that the object is to reward the negroes
for their military services. AS is well known,
their services, with few exceptions, were tho re-
suit Of coercion, and not voluntary.
The Freedman's Bureau Bill seemed to have
been passed through Congress with passionate
haste, md has been pronounced unconstitutional
by some OF the ablest= lawyers Of our country.
Would it not have been better to postpone the
sales until the next Congress could have had time
to review their work !? Tho Bill does not specify
any particular time for the sale. II tllusc who
have the power placed in tllcir hands are dotcr-
mine. to mako any effort to throw difficulties in
the way ofthe true proprietors OF these lands OBJ
tanning their Inheritance aud birthright succeed
in their plans, ST. Hclcnl Parish will be no tit resi-
denco for the white man, and they will have to
