A Visit to Edisto Island.

On last Wednesday,aa party of ten or
twelve gentlemen, owners. of plantations on
Edisto Island, left thus city Oh the s.-amer
Nab to visit and examine their lands on that
island. On the steamer was, a freedmen,
named Elias jenkins, who appeared to e1er.
else considerable control and influence over
the other freedmen, both on tie steamer and
on the island. On recognizing the planters,
he ca!lel the negroes on board together and
addressed them in the presence Of the. party
of gentlemen. He told them not to yield
one inch of the land on the island to any
white man that they, the colored aud loyal
people, had str0ng friends NashiHst ton,
who had passed Bill through Congress Civ.
ing them the lands'for three years, in order
to allow them tine to- accumulate funds
sufficient tosbuy-the; property at the eBd Of
that time. He also ostated that white officers
of the Freedmen'S Bureau had told him The
freedmen would never be driven from The
coast aud islands, For himself he said, he
was man of education,4 could read the news
papers, and was perfectly aware of what was
going On at Washington. He told his hear.
ecs thatrthey muss'not make any contract
With OF work for any white man, and not to
offer to buy theland, foritwas already theirs.
He told the planters that they had better:go
back to ChariestonFan go to work there, and
if.they could do nothing else, they could pick
oysters and earn their living, as they, the
loyal people, had done,s by the sweat Of their
brow. -.---.--.-----
The party on board, however, paid no at
tention to the remarks Of. the negro apd
made no reply. On landing they were re-.
ceiyed By Lieutenant Clark, commanding a
company of the 35th US. C-N., stationed
on Edis.n, ,Island... They visited the various
plan tations and found them in. a sad condi-
ton, Most of the once elegant. mansions on
the island we're cut and hacked by hatehets
and axes, the doors and windows broken out,
the fruit trees cnt down and every thing wear
ing the most deselating aspect. But very
little land was under cultivation, the greatest
extent being ten acres on a plantation of
about three hundred and fifty. acres. Some.
oethe freedmen received the party civilly,
but told :he visitors they could not give them
shelter or provisions, or harbor them, threats
having bcen made by the others that any
colored persons known to have .harbofed a
white man should have their houses burned
the next morning. The party returned, to
the city Saturday night last.-Charleston
