for the speedy trial Of jeff.
Davis. He will be arraigned before one
of the Circuit Court, ofthe United States,

Mississippi and Alabama, for the Dur
pose of obtaining accurate information
Tor the use of the Agricultural DEPART

many of them are neglectihg corn. pre-
ferring to depend OH the Northwest for
their supplies. The freedmen have con.
general thing. The higher rates OF
wages in Alabama and Mississippi. are
inducing some of them to discard their
contracts in Georgia, and to cmigrate
westward. There is scarcity of freed
men, owing principally to the severe raw
ages OF the small pOx, and in several
instances have been mentioned where
over half the old Hands have been buried
from this disease. Several planters I
have met have put in rs much cotton nc
formerly, but there will be much land
idle. l am sanguine in expressing the

South can be worked without..the hand

ments. From what l could learn regard.
