GIPsIEs.-There is a camp of gipsies in the
grove nsar Bailey Davenport's pasture, and
it ought to be broken up and the people driv-
en- out of the county. Gipsies are universal
ly and unequivocally thieves and pick pook-
cts, WHO, under the pretence of telling for
tunes. and mending leaky tin ware, look for
chances to steal. They always find foolish
boys and silly girls who want their fortunes
told, and this gives them the appearance of
soma occupation. Of course all the foolery
about fortune-tel.ing ,s humbug-human
people are not permitted to know the future
and any man or woman who takes any stock
in that sort of nonsence is tool-or very
foolish and silly to say the least.
Gipsies are rowing thieves and pick -pock-
cts, who are too lazy to work. too viscious to
pursue any honest calling. They ough. to be
driven out of town, or arrested and punished
as Migrants. The attention of the sheriff
and city marshal is called to the matter.

FREEDMEN OH THE SEA ISLANDS.

The assistant commissioner OF freedmen's
affairs in the State of Georgia gives the bureau
an account of his visit to the Sea Islands. He
states that all the questions in dispute between
the freed people on the islands and the former
white residents are now amicably settled.
Those having grants OF land have had them
consolidated on one part of the estate upon
which they were given, as directed in "Spe-
cal Field Order No. g." In addition to these
satisfactory results, a saving of from 6,001 to
$500 rations per month to the Government has
been effected. The assistant commissioner
fears that owing 10 the want of implements,
seeds, animals and food the freedmen having
grants of land will fail in raising a fair crop.
There are scarcely ten families of freed people
on the Sea Islands whose grants of land are of
any value whatever. Land is abundant
enough, but labor is scarce, and commands
very high price; and hSthinkS the freedmrn
would find il much more 10 their advantage TO
go TO work for wages than TO attempt to cul-
tivate land for themselves with inadequate
means. He is fully convinced, from personal
examination. that the question over which
there has been so much dispute as 10 whether
or not the freedmen shall retain their lands for
a few years has ceased, from the cheapness of
land and the scarcity of labor, 70 be of the
slightest consequence to them. He saws that
the real want in that State is a sufficient mil
itary force to insure the prompt arrest of GRIM
mails, and such an organization of the United
States courts as shall enable the people white
and black, to stand on an equality before the
law and TO obtain Justice.
