and amply repaid for all his mental ei-
forts,
In collecting specimens OF fungi moss
es and flowers he came in contact with
insects which arrested his attention, and

find in this country, ne again ordered

dictionary and French grammar, and
at the age of fifty commenced the study
of a new language, Of which he soon be-
came master
Since that time, during the past eight
years, he has steadily pursued his stud

day to the pursuit of some scientific
treatise, and as the legitimate result, he
has become not only thoroughly inform
ed in all the details of Botany but con
versant with nearly every other branch
of Natural History. He has made good
collections of plants, MOSES, fungi and
insects, all OF which are appropriately
classified and named. In conversation

or the Bureau we would therefore
say, subdiyide the States into districts,
suftciently minute TO enable each and
every representative of Government to
have personal cognizance of each and
every emancipated slave in 1t. Let him
give bonds to governmentior an amount
that will warrant placing at his dispo-
sal clothing and rations. Give to the
freedmen the privilege of purchasing
the same when able, which while IL
meets the wants of the recipient, saves
10 Government vast expense. We
know of cases where the Bureau has
turned over clothing and rations for
freedmen to the employers OF the same,
without taking even memorandum OF
receipts for the stores. The question 49,
is this the policy for Government The
system for the guidance of the Bureau
should and may be as clearly defined as
that fer the regulation Of the army and
navy. But with the present system,
millions Of dollars are squandered by
Government, and no material good Ell
fected; the freedmen demoralizedi the
planter unable to rely upon his help, as
the negro cares naught for any contract
he may make not properly drawn and en-
tered into before an agent of Govern
ment. Every negro should be known to,
and under surveillance ofan agent ofgoV-
ernment, which with properly digested
system, would redeem the expenses OF
Government and benefit the freedman
and his former master. We think that
such should and may be plan adopted
throughout the South, that every freed
man will be under surveillance which
would benefit himself and save the Gov
eminent much embarrassment and ex'
pense viz the one above mentioned.
We know that the good of the coun-
try imperatively demands a radical
change in the management of the Blu.
reau, and it is our only wish in present
ing facts and views, that we may aid
however feebly, to acquaint our friends
at home, of the true state OF Southern
affairs.
Suffrage and the employment of the
emancipated slaves are the true ques
lions for the North to consider, and no
the cultivation Of sectional hatred
