coLoRED SCHOOL TEACHERS l N LOUISIANA
AND TEXAS
The Houston (Texas) Telegraph speaks
thus OF the ill-treatment Of Ruby, the col
ored school teacher, at Jackson, La:
1.-The attack, beating, kicking and drag
ging of Mr.. Ruby, seems to be entirely
without excuse He had but newly ar
rived, and his only offense was that Of
instructing his fellow people Of color. Yet
his treatment was most cruel. A great
many of these outrages have occurred in
Louisiana. We are glad to know that the
people of Texas have been much kinder
to the colored school teachers /; and while
we could wish that there was less preju-
dice toward them, still we congratulate
ourselves that Texans have not disgraced
themselves as have the people Of Louisi-
ana. We are beginning to recognize the
fact that our comfort and perhaps our
safety demands that the negro be educated
and raised above his present abject condi-
ton. We believe that no personal vlo-
lence has been offered to any teacher IN
der the Bureau, either white or black.
This argues for US a higher state Of civili-
zation than u neighbors enjoy. We be-
lieve that the colored schools Of Texas are
the most prosperous of those established
in the Southern States. They are con-
Quoted without expense to the government,
being entirely supported by the blacks
themselves"
THE WHITES AND BLACKS IN OUT
CAROLINA.
Dispatches from the Assistant Commits
sioners Of Freedmen's Affairs in South
Carolina set forth that there are many
vagrant freedmen in the District Of Co.
lumbia, South Carolina, and that there
seems to be a disposition to avoid work
and violate contracts among them. The
outrages committed BY this class of freed
men are numerous. There are also q
great number Of idle whites in the dis
trict, who are generally responsible for
the outrages committed upon the freed
men; and in the cases Of violence charged
to the freedmen, he has usually found
that white man was at the bottom.
A disposition has been manifested, he
states, among q number Of the planters,
who are evilly disposed, to take advantage
Of the freedmen by driving them away
from the plantations on frivolous charges,
about the time when the crops are ma
tured and ready for gathering, thus Sc
curing to themselves the share that would
otherwise fall to the freedmen. He states
that the officer who now fills the position
Of provost marshal, before whom these
cases must be adjusted, also occupies the
position of post adjutant, and commands
a company, which prevents his giving as
much attention to these matters as they
require. He recommends that instead Of
a provost court a freedmen's court be es-
tablished. by which means justice can be
more speedily secured.

TATIoNs.
The Putnam County IN. W FREQ Press

ed on US on last Monday, and stated that
they have Ave hundred acres of land on
their plantation in cotton and three hun.
dred acres in corn. The cotton, when he
came away, had begun to open, and the
prospect was very fair for a large crop.
The freedmen are good and faithful labor
ers, and most Of Thorn are working for d
part Of the CROP"
MANUFACTURING IN GEORGIA.
The Louisville Courier says IAN intel
ligent gentleman, q resident Of Georgia,
furnishes US the information, which we
must confess surprises US much, that there
are at this time in process Of erection in
that State seventy-two mills for the manu-
.ure Of cotton and woollen goods, some Of
hem for calicoes. This is an astonishing
TACT, but it 10 nevertheless the natural con-
sequence of the events OF the last five
