From the Petersburg Index.

The New York Tribune is quite conspicuous
Of late for the vehemeuce Of its denuncations
| of Southern society. With how bad a grace
these aspersons Of the people of the South come
from Horace Greeley, an incident will illustrate.
good many years ago packet arrived at
the wharf 10 Petersburg from New York, bear
ing among its other contents, a young female
on her way, as the custom of many of her
New England couGtrywomen in those remote
days, to seek, in an old fashioned Virginia fam
lily, occupation and livelihood at her profession
as teacher of elementary branches of schooling.
The gentleman, in whose care she was placed
by her Northern friends or relatives, paid her
no attention, aud seemed impressed with no
necessity to give her any assistance in the task,
arduous always to stranger and a woman of
making her away across the threshold of new
community, and she naturally felt, and could
not avoid giving expression 10y her lock and
manner, to the distress which this neglect occa-
stoned
A generous citizen Of Petersburg, long since
passed to his reward, touched by her helpless
ness, and inspired by that courtesy which is as
characteristic Of an old fashioned Virginia gen.
tleman as ever 1t was of medieval knight, po-
litely accosted her. offered his services to assist
her in any way, and urged her to give him the
opportunity of forwarding her to her desti1 alton
This proved to be in the country, many miles
from Petersburg, and the gentleman insisted
that the Northern girl should accompany him
to his house, where he promised her cordial
welcome at the hands Of bis wife and family
She was only toe glad to accept the proffered
kindness.
To bis house she went, there she remained
until it suited her to 60 to her country school,
there she stopped, and was kindly entertained
by this Southern uan and Southern woman
whenever she visited Petersburg and when she
came to this city, either at or Immediately after
her marriage, it was in the house Of these gen.
erous people that she was first received, and re-
ceived with a hospitality as frank and as full as
though the blood Of its master flowed in her
veins.
DO you recognize any OF the traits Of this
picture, MIR. Greeley? Ifso, your cheeks should
Jingle with shame and reproach as you pen your
scurillous libels on the women of the South, for
that Northern woman thus Hospitality treated
by this Petersburg family ras Horace Greeley's
betrothed, and afterwards Horace Gree1ey's

The FREEDMEN.-Weate pleased to hear that
an many ighborhoods in the several Counties,
the freedmen are doing well, fulfilling their con
tracts better than was expected This, we learn,
is true in Caswell; Warren, and in some cases
In this County. If this we're universally true,
we would rejoice.
The only source of difficulty which we appre-
bend FROM the changed condition of blacks,
is in their indisposition or refusal to work, and
by consequence their idleness and certain resort
to stealing as a means of living No one is in
clined to deprive the negro of his just claims
We find the same disposition to regard the
claims of colored laborers, as of white laborers.
Wherever the black shows disposition to labor
and provide for himself and family, there is a
desire to assist him. But where he is idle and
insolent claiming and stealing what is not Justly
his due in all respects, conflict begins 1t is
for this reason that all desire the negro should
be made directly amenable to the civil law, in
stead of leaving him to the jurisdiction of tri-
buna, which, more or less of necessity is partial
to the negro and incredulous of the Integrity
and justice of the whites towards them.-IRal-
