FREEDMEN 8 BUREAU.

Gen Howard has received letters from Gen.
VIM p Richardson, commanding the district
of Eastern South Carolina, and from a resident
OF that district, which give an unusually IA
vorabIe account of the improvement in the re-
latiOns between the whites and blacks of that
section Gen. Richardson says all the freed
men are employed for the present year, and
the planters unhesitatingly confess that they
are working much better than when they were
slaves The planters are showing their con-
fdence in the freedmen by planting as largely
as their capital and lands will permit. The
Demand for hands is great. One gentleman at
Society Hill offers from 62E cents to 81 per
Gay, besides share in the crop. Another gen.
tleman says he would not be willing to return
TO the old system of slavery, as his profits are
now larger, and be has much less trouble with
the hands on the plantation.

SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS

1t is understood that the Congressional Com

it has never been the practice Of Governments
to make compensation for the ravages Of war,
even when committed by their own armies on
their own coil, the question Of compensation to
sufferers in a hostile region cannot be enter
tanned. This will blight the hopes OF large
number of claimants at the South. many Of
whom have already placed their papers before
Congress.
