A report received by Surgeon Homer, chief
surgeon Of the Bureau Of Freedmen, Refugees,
&c, from DIR. 5. j. W. Mintzer, surgeon in
chief of the district of Texas, dated Dec. LIST,
1865, states that large numbers of freedmen are
returning TO Louisiana and other States, prin-
cipally with their former masters. Ii is estI-
mated by the most reliable citizens on the Sa-
binetovn road that an average OF about three
hundred freedmen have gone out of the State
by that road in the past sixty days. Those
with whom the surgeon had couversed ex-
pressed a desire TO get home, and seemed not TO
like Texas, saying there was too much beef and
not enough of bacon there.

ATTEMPTED FRAUD.

A man, representing himself as captain in
the army, called at the Paymaster Generals
office this morning, and presented leave-of-
absence, on which he was DESTROYS OF obtaining
the order of the Paymaster General for pay
ment The officer claimed to have been paid
by paymaster at Hilton Head. S. O. It was
known, however, to those present that the pay
master indicated had gone to California pre-
yious to the date on which the officer claimed
to have been paid. This aroused suspicious,
and the case was in yestigated. The leave-of-
absence proved to be a false one, and the name
and Endorsement Of the paymaster was forged.
Seeing that he was discovered, he tore up the
bogus leave of absence and. endeavored to
escape, but was prevented. and is now in prison
to await hearing.

PUBLIC PRINTING.-It appears from the re-
port OF the Superintendent OF Public Printing
that the net cost of the public printing and
binding for the year ending Both September last
was 81, 73l SOS. The close of the rebellion has
cause a considerable decrease in the requisi-
tons OF the Executive departments for print
ing, but with the large amount of deferred
printing for Congress and that which will be
ordered at the present session, there will doubt
less be enough to work the establishment up 10
Its full capacity for the next two years The
report shows a large saving in printing and
binding over the contract system which existed
previous TO the establishment Of the Govern
ment Printing Bureau.
