Geneneral Thomas, who commands in Tennessee,
out of which State he gloriously drove the last
rebel invading force, has given testimony before the
Reconstruction Committee. In his opinion the troops
ought not yet to be WithdTaWn-he has six thou
sand men in the State the habedS corpus ought not
yet to be restored; the operations of the Freedmen
Bureau ought to be contnuedin its present form ii
works WE'LL he says. that in year the whites and
the freedmen will be living peaceably together; and
finally, the Tennessee Congressional delegation all
ofwhom can take the test OATH ought to be admitted
States to elect men to Congress who can take the
oath, and acknowledgment Of the good sense oil
the Tennessee people.
The soldiers should be retained in Tennessee, he
says because the laws not yet faithfully yigi-
lanty executed there; there is much bitter feeling
between Union men and secesshnists, which has not
yet had time to die out For the same reason, we
suppose, because the laws not rgdy enforced by
their civic administrators he thinks the hd6eds
pus should os withheld for some time longer. As
for the Freedmens Bureau, Gen. Thomas does not
appear to think 1t requires amendment. lie said
The condition of the freedmen IN Tennessee il
very fayorab Bile at this time; very great improve
ment has taken place in their condition. and II the
afairg Of the treedoens Bureau be administered
for anorkef year In the they have been for the
last six months Iutual confidence would be restored
between whites and blacks. and l am very much in
lection of the civil authorities of the State"
1t appears to that this is a sensible view of the
whole question of reconstruction and as the Presi-
dent has, on his part, withheld the habe0s corpus
continued martial Law, and sSspt TIE needed troops
IN the Southern States, we hope Congress viii 90 its
share by admitting at all the southern members
whs can take the Oath.-N. T. Post,

Near gratiied to state that the prospects OF a
crop this season fine in this section Planters
generally, are putting forth unusual amount of
energy to produce the staple article and have sue
ceeded far beyond anticipation in securing labor.
Many Of the negroes have found out that it is abso-
iutey necessary for them to labor to maintain life
lank stomachs and thousands Of lives and it is QUITE
time for them to have earnedi it. Many, rather than
seek new employers have chosen to contract at fair
wages with their former masters, and apparen tly
have gone to work in earnest. Now that our labor
system !. beginning to be understood, can look to
see no why The e0e Of
South should not multiply under these favorable
auspices, If the negro will work for wages, we have
at less expense tLsG heretofore under the old system
Of slavery and if he does not his place will be SUP
Piled as 1t has been already in many localities with
white labor.-C0riRth Ne,cs "+
