THR FREEDMEN IN souTH CAROLINA
The Assistant Commissioner OF Freed
mems Affairs In South Carolina, in his
dispatches TO the Chief of the Bureau,
says: There are good many vagrant
freedmen in the District of Columbia,
and there seems 20 be disposition to
avoid work and violate contracts among
them. The ou'rages committed by this
class of freedmen are numerous. There
are also great numbers Of idle whites
in the district, who are generally re-
sponslble for the outrages committed
upon the freedmen, and in cases Of VIC
lence charged to the freedmen, he has
usually found a white man was at the
bottom. A disposition has been mani
tested, he says, among number of the
planters, who are evidently disposed to
take advantage OF the freedmen by
driving them away from the plantations
on frivolous charges about the time
when the crops are matured and ready
for gathering, thus securing 10 them
selves the share that would otherwise
fall to the freedmen. He states that the
officer who now fills the position OF
Provost Marshal, before whom these
cases must be adjusted, also occupies the
position of post adjutant, and commands
a company, which prevents his giving
as much attention to these matters as
they require. He recommends that, in
stead of a provost court, freedmen's
court be established, by which means
justice can be speedily secured.

was attracted by q light n Clark Rich

been dropped among some shavings on

the fire, and thus averted what might

The NEW ORLEANS BUTcHERY.-All
doubt of the origin and character OF the
New Orleans massacre is now likely to
end, for it is net to be supposed that the
President will make any objection to the
request of Gen. Sheridan that Gen.
Baird's official report should be publish
ed. This is a significant request, and
due beyond doubt TO the suppression OF
Gen. Sheridan's dispatches, for the publ
cation of official reports is usually taken
for granted. General Blair states,
and we believe him implicitly,
that the measures he adopted to
prevent disturbance would have been
successful but for the trcachery OF
Mayor Monroe and his police. The
whole number Of killed and wounded by
the butchery thus melted by the rebel
Mayor and his police is now known to
be three hundred and seventy-eight.

The FRENCH CANADIANS NOT YET BRIT
IsH.-We read in Z Union Rationale of
the 10th inst, daily paper published in
Montreal:
eve can say once for all, not for the
benefit of those who see, but for that Of
the blind, that the Fenians will attack
Canada. AS long as Ireland shall be
oppressed, Canada an English col
ony, and there will be Irishmen in the
United States, this danger will surely
exist.
One thing alone can remove this dam
ger it is our coming to an understand
ing with England to sever peaceably the
colonial tie, the trans Atlantic cable,
which brings to US only absurd and
anti-national orders, or very disagreed
BILE dispatches, sometimes tyrannical,
especially regarding confederation. 1t
is useless to insist upon this; the thing
is as plainIas two and two make four.
Canada is destined to serve as base of
operations, or at least as military
school to the Irish patriots in the United
States, as long as it remains a colony.
Now, is it better to remain colony and
see our country devastated, ruined
and pillaged or is it better to cease to
be colony in order to secure our coun-
try from any attack, and inaugurating a
career of prosperity, hitherto unknown
in Canada ? The tories say no; we say
yes We are ready to raise the standard
of pacific independence Shall we be
understood and supported We shall
soon see."
We learn from the same paper that
there exists great jealousy between
the English-speaking and the French
Canadian volunteers. This want of good
feeling manifested itself four years ago
in Montreal, when sham fight took
place in honor of the Prince of Wales.
The two parties actually fired against
each other, and blood was shed. Much
more harm would undoubtedly have
been done IL an influential officer had
not interfered. This antipathy Of races

PRNNsYLvANIA.-In Pennsylvania the
canvass is Frightening. The country
looks to Pennsylvania with more than
ordinary interest. Gen. Geary has an
easy candidate to beat in Mr.. Clymer,
but the State is not so easy to carry.
The succession to Mr.. Cowan which will
be decided by this election adds a per-
sonal zest to the canvass. Whoever is
elected must be free from any suspicion
of the treason which made Mr.. Cowan,
the chosen Senator of the Republican
party, act from the first with the enc
mics of the country. Pennsylvania
cannot afford to have her influence mega
tived by his reelection or by the choice
of a man whose record is open to sus-
picion.

THE ITALIAN ARMY.-During the re-
cent and sanguinary war which has just
terminated, the part which Italy has
taken in it has been thrown into the
shade by the gigantic movements of Aus
tria and Prussia, while her defeats have
only failed to give her the prestige OF a
powerful nation. But in carefully look
ing at the condition of Italy and the en-
thusiasm which her people have dis
played since this war commenced, we
find much to promise glorious future.
When the war first broke out, there was
an outburst of enthusiasm and patriot
ism throughout the peninsula, which
can only be compared with the great up
rising in the Northern States after the
attack Of Fort Sumpter. Old parties
were fused together. Garibaldi was
urged to free Italy from the presence of
the stranger, and the government was
urged to draw literally on the resources
Of the country for military and naval
supplies, with the sole condition that
the war be carried on by Italy alone
without foreign aid or subsidies. The
Italian army was not much unlike ours
at the first battle Of Bull Run. It was
hastily raised and inCompletely equipped.
The Italians have never been favored
with a standing army of their own,
like France, Prussia and Austria, and
consequently their officers, though brave
and patriotic, were inexperienced and
rash.
1t is said that Charles XII taught the
Russians how to fight by series of ter
rible defeats and it is probable that the
young nation Of Italy will gain some
| thing by the severe school of experience
which she has undergone. 1t is one
thing to their praise that defeat does not
seem to discourage them, but only nerve
them for greater efforts. The great ma
val defeat which they sustained at LISA
has led to q complete reorganization oil
the navy department. A commission
OF naval officers has just made careful
inspection of the feet and announce that
it will be put to sea shortly.

place on the Dist of July, between five

full. The battle ragged from o'clock in
the morning till in the afternoon, with
varying success, and although at first
the Austrians had the advantage, as soor
as the whole of the Italian artillery
could be brought into action, the tide
of the battle turned and the Italians sue.
ceeded in driving their enemy from the
field. 1t showed that they we're learn
ing to stand fire, and were already able
to contend with the Austrian regulars
in a fair fight. One of the greatest diff.
fculties which they have to contend
with is an almost total lack of medical
supplies and sufficient number of sur.
geons for the wounded, for which Carl.
baldi is greatly blamed.

STARKwBATHER's CONFESSION. - The
Hartford Times of the 18th has the fol-
lowing concerning the confession of the
murderer Starkweather, who was ex-
ecuted in that city on Friday last:
The confession of Starkweather is kept
back for revision" we are told. 1t is
admitted that it amounts to this : In
1854 he attempted to poison his uncle,
Buckland by putting arsenic in the flour
used in his family, and so reckless was
he that in order TO reach his uncle he
disregarded the lives of the rest of the
family. He did not kill his uncle, though
he came near it. Three others, how
ever, were killed by the poison, and sew
eral more were injured for life. Had
Bucklands life been destroyed; large
share Of his property would have fallen
| to Albert. He also confesses to the
crime of setting fire to the barn Of his
near neighbor, Horace White, Esq, in
the hope that the flames would reach his
mothers dwelling, on which there was
an insurance of $4,000.
| This, we presume, is the amount Of
| his confession, and it is enough to con
firm the well-grounded suspicious that
existed, and to stamp the convict with
the guilt of series of shocking crimes
The confession was addressed to The
prisoners counsel, Mr.. Calhoun, of Man
chester, who is at present absent, the
document remaining meantime in posses
sion of Deputy Sheriff Finch.
1t is understood that Starkweathel
also left two other written. statements
one in the hands of lady, and one fol
his uncle in this city.
