FREEDMEN BUREAU IN VIRGINIA. IS
matter of interest to know the character Of the

by the agents of the Freedmen S Bureau in this
State The Washington Chronicle, Of yester-

''advices received at the Bureau of Refugees,
fir m different portions of Virginia, in:tica e
that the spirit of hostility against the bureau,
the liberia ed colo"ed people aud the Govern
ment, is u abated, and even more open and
bitter than a, any lime since the prostrat on OF
the rebellion The viii es, with a lew h'nora-
bic exceptions. are disposed to accord to the
fr ed race o"y the privileges that they former
ly enjoyed under the p DIVISIONS OF the slave

has done much to secure them equal justice
and is he only protection afforded them. .
It is to be regr tied that the p rites u,aking
these rrpo is should have confined themselves
to general charge against cur people Of hos
tilty against the bureau. the liberated colored
PEG lie and the Government, " instead Of giving

tiity and setting forth the time place and Cir
cumstances Let us have specific charges.
The ouy specif d Instance of hostility to the
bureau that we have heard Of for months, was
the threat to kill teacher of freedmen at Ar

RENTs-MARkETs IN WAsHINGToN-For u

RENTs-MARKETsI IN WESTINGHOUSE q
long time our landlords have been able, to
realize from their tenements almost fabulous
prices, owing to an extraordinary lhtuX OF
people, causing the number Of stores. shops,
and dwellings to be entirely inadequate to the
demand, and owing, too, to the comparative
high prices of almost every article OF supply.
Up went gold in giddy fight to 2S3; and SO
dazzling were the chances for speculation, SO
immense were the demands Of Government,
that I'D with gold went all values, until rents
in his city reached figure SC rGe as to place re-"
81 ectablc houses larabove the reach of moderate
salaries, and so high as to force our boarding
house keepers to establish charges at hotel
rates, without being at al able to furnish re-
specialize fare, much less those home comforts
that are sought in quiet private establishments
Inferior boarding houses became necessity ;
for at the beginning OF every month a luscious
horde" had to be provided, as per contract,
for the greedy landlord To-day gold is quot
cd at l274, and seems to be gradually subsldlng
t. its real value almost every article OF lecc5-
sity. comfort OF luxury is offered at more
moderate rates and yet rents remain almost
unchanged from the p!iccs OF two years ago
Yesterday morning We saw fresh eggs sold at
the Centre Market for 20 cents per dozen, good
butter for 80 cent PER pound, potatoes Tor 81
per bus he'll and steak Ter Is cents per pound.
Sugars and c,ffcc are sold at fair prices, and
wood and coal are rapidly falling, Our dry
goods dealers are also Ca the descending scale,
and everything save rents mas TO conform to
the gradual fall ia gold.
Why should not rents &c cheaper! The
landlord can affprd to reduce his rents twenty
five per cent when lie can obtain commodities
at corresponding deduction; and a selfish
grinding lo'icy on their part will hDaly drive
occupants oflhcr frequently il-contIived houscs
iuto more pleasant and convenient ones. which

SUPERB SLEEPING CAR-Ne weIe invited
Yesterday to examine new Sleeping Car, just
placed on the Orange and Alexandra Railroad
by he Southern Transportation Company, OF
philadelphia, and is the handsomest and most
elegantly finished specimen OF WoFkm lnshlp
We have ever seen Unlike the cars heretofore
in use, this pattern has but sig state-rooms,
that is, rooms for the occupation of families,
or other persons who prefer complete privacy;
The other berths are open, but arc secured
from intrusion by rich and elegantly arranged
curtains. so that those who desire it can be as
private add as free from observation as they
may wish. The entire car IS so arranged that
it can be used a REGULAR passenger COACH
Its sleeping capacity is tor As persons, every
one OF whom can enjoy as much comfort and
ease as in the best regulated private residence.
In every berth is large mirror, and at one
end Of the car is the Ladies Toilette cosct.
and at The other is one for gentlemen. in
these there are also large mirrors: and marble
wasl-basns, with all the other Appliances and
appurenances for complete fashionable tot
ete. The car is carpeted throughout; and n
fact nothing appears to be wanting which the
most thoughtful regard for the comfort and
convenience Of the traveller could suggest as IN
The least necessary Or desirable This Car cost
about $4,000 ard on to day, second one will
be placed on the road, equal in every respect TO
