engaged in sowing the seeds Of what may yet prove
to be serious disturbance. q

Gen. Scott that by the renewed advice of the noto-

loave the Delta and other plantations and did de-
part LnereuOW. tDSG Weck, returned large num-
bers yesterday and took possession of the islands,
crossing the river in fats, adeE with furniture and
other eff ects. The planters, WHO find themselves
dsposssessed Oft ofther lands request the promised
rived in our city last evening to consult and take
advice as to tho best plan to be adopted to secure
the control OF their plantations. tl4,

gault plantation and have occupied the quarters,

main. f@Et

representations to tho colored people have COM
pletely disarranged the labor system in his dis
ness, the Inajority Of the freedmen still believing
that Bradley's famous one dollar petitions viii
