FREEDMEN,S RuREAu-

General Howard has received letter from
BrigadIer Gen1 Davis Tillson, Commissioner
of Refugees, Freedmen, &c, in which he
speaks of the great Improvement in the rela-
tons existing between the freedmen and their
former masters. The evilIy disposed men
known there as ':jayhawkers," have been COM
PEELED, through the efforts of the Bureau. to
abandon their prosecutions of the freedmen,
and their attempts TO secure the services of the
latter for inadequate compensation by unjust
contracts; and the freedmen themselves, are
tractable, respectful. and law-abding, evinc-
ing decided disposition to enter into reason
able contracts and carry out the same in good
faith.

husband has brought suit against Wyley tor

Communications have been received also
from General Wager Swayne, Commissioner
same general improvement is to be found in
that district. The average of payment made TO
freedmen, on contracts is, besides food, quar-
ters, and medical attendance for the entire
family, ten dollars per month for men and eight
for women. The demand for labor still ex-
ceeds the supply, and freedmen show marked
preference for hiring with Northern men, of
whom there are about five thousand in the
State. These planters who ill treated the
freedmen last year, find it almost impossible to
secure labor during this, and some have been
compelled to abandon their farms in conse-
Uupuce.
