cation OF the blaoks A. There is great difference
opinion IN that respect in different communities, II
some places the people approve Of cordially aud man
nave taken part in it, in other places the ia tn
case cases heye come 20 my knowledge where person
coming TO teach the blacks permitted 10 rea
place either for school OF for their own personal &C
cupatlon and II has been reported 10 that tenche
seat 10 teach the blacks have been treated with grea
contempt and In some places threatened; then. again
IN the C! OF Lynohburg for instance the city author

people 10 Virginia, and Of the bacss A think they
would be in lauentable coudiuoh SUCH is the pteju
dice entertained especially against those who were
faithful 10 their obligations 10 the Government during
the war, that do not think they would receive any
adequate protection o' thet rights OF person or prop
erty from the people or from the courts and think
that thew would be prosecuted through the machinery
of the courts ~ wei AZ privately. Even now. when
military law prevails in the State, and when military
authority supreme attempts mado in the courts
punish Unionists for acts done by them under mill
tary authority daring the and have boen obliged
10 interfere and release from prison men thus prose
cUted.

directed the cessation OF proceedings IN some four
six cases OF this lad in some Of them the parties had
been admitted TO bail IN some they were IMPRISONED
have released those In prison. and IN all cases have
taken possession Of the indictments and warrants and
when bonds had been given 10 the courts.

has been during the Last two or three monthsdslUya
uterauces and dsoya publications have very much 10
creased they seemto have increased Ia proportion to
