THE AFFAIR AT sHIPLEY's WOOD CAMP

We gave yesterday the particulars of the
murderous outrage committed by rowdies of
Anne Arundel county upon the unoffsnding
blacks attending the camp meeting at Ship

these scoundrels, who with similar ruffians
elsewhere are doing SO much to injure the
fair fame of the South. The attempt to gloss
over and apologize for such acts does mischief

those ruffians that the bio odshed was origiua.

ENCOURAGING FROM VIRGINIA

The Assistant Superintendent of the Freed
mems Bureau in Southampton county, Va
in his report to the Bureau, says that the con-
dItioE of affairs in his county are very favor
able. The state OF feeling existing between
the whites and freedmen is all that could be
expected. There are very few, if any, freed
men in the county unemployed. Nearly all
have made contracts for the year, either for
stated wages, or for a share in the crops, and
as far as he is able to ascertain, both employer
and employees are-well satisfied. Those that
have shares in the crops, he thinks, are much
the best of, as those who are working for
money spend ii as fast as ii is received. Many
OF the ola planters say that they are making
better crops with half the number OF hands
they used to work as slaves
report from Fauquier county, Va, states
that the feeling Row existing between the
whites and the freedmen is of a very encour-
aging character. No reports Of abuse of the
blacks have been made during the month. The
freeomen have observed in good faith the con
tract made by them with the whites: the latter,
also, with few exceptions, have done the
same tow ards the blacks. 1t is not thought
that the feelins against the freedmen is as
strong as il has been heretofore The Assistan,
