The report of Brig Gen. Alvan C.
Gillen, Assistant Commissioner of
the Freedmen's Bureau for the State
OF Mississippi, showing the condition
OF freedmen's affairs in that State,
during the month OF December, has
been received by Gen. Howard. He
states the demand for labor is so
great that freedmen are being brought
from other States to Mississippi,
where they can contractat $40 to SIS
per month, rations, quarters and
medical attendance. During the
month, there were 1909 rations
issued, being an increase of 139 over
the issue for November. The freed
men show no spirit Of idleness, and
the planters are anxious to secure
laborers. School matters seem to be
progressing finely, and o growing in
terest is manifested, which promises
to be OF permanent service. Two
fruitful sources Of dissatisfaction to
the freedmen are the laws prohibit
ing their carrying fire arms and own
ing and holding real estate.

writes that arrests have not ceased
for nearly two months, and are being
continued at this moment with such
determination that the sentiments of

at it, especially in the principality of

their authors, in the official bulletin
of the provinces, an order from the

Gates of good conduct to any person

applied for through the military au-

sixty miles up the st. Lawrence. on
the American frontier. The ice
showed over o large part Of the vii

during the night, and the constcrna-
ton is described as dreadful. Come
OF the villagers climbed up and
lodged in trees. Many had nothing
to eat for whole day. The Indians,
it is said, have lost their all, and are
lying on straw without any covering.
The degree Of misery caused by such

realized, and an appeal is made to
Montreal for help.

THE CANADIAN CoNFEDpRarror

The CANADIAN CoNFEDERATIoN.-
Late cable dispatches announce the
approval by the British Government
of the plan Of federation submitted
by the delegates from the North Ame-
rican provinces, who have been scve-
raj weeks in London on that bust
ness. The scheme approved contein-
plates the union of the Upper and
Lower Canadas, Novn Scotia and
New Brunswick. Prince Edwards S
Island and Newfoundland have not
yet decided to join the Confedera-
ton, but will be able to do so at any
future time. Provision is also made
to admit British Columbia and the
Northwest territory whenever it may
be deemed desirable. A general Lee
gislature, or Parliament, is provided
for the federated provinces, and will
be composed of o House of Com
mons and Legislative Council. In
forming the latter, the provinces will
be considered in three divisions, Of
which Upper Canada will be first,
Lower Canada second, and Nova
Scotia and c,ew Brunswick third.

MIR TREsCoT's OPINION. The Rev.
DR.. Parker, of Boston, who is asso-
clatcd with Mr. Conway and other
gentlemen in establishing Institutes
OF learning for the leading minds
among the freedmen in the South.
has just returned from South Caro-
lima, where he met Mr.. Trescot, one
OF the leading politicians of that
State, who said, in the course of con-
versation of considerable length,
that he was opposed to the adoption
OF the Constitutional amendment by
South Carolina, because the South
was asked to adopt measure for her
own injury, rs he believed; and, fur
thermore, that he preferred universal
amnesty, coupled with impartial suf-
frage, and that he believed every
rlght-thinking man in the South felt
the same as he did, but that the sub
ject belonged entirely to the States
represented in the Union, and not
the States Of the South, because the
South had fought against the Union,
determined to destroy it if possible,
and that her place was not to dictate
what should be done, nor participate
in granting either universal amnesty
or impartial suffrage, but simply to
comply with What should be done by
the States through whom the South
was conquered, and who are, to all
lntents and purposes, the United
States. He expressed himself greatly
III favor of the education of the freed
men, but thought the Southern and
not the Northern people should have
charge Of the schools.

Another most irritating case, grow
ing out Of an old law Of North Caro-
lima, seems to call for congressional
intervention. A North Carolinian.
while on boat for Baltimore, on the
Chesapeake Bay, found a Yankee
rogue, who had been put up in the
same state room with him, stealing
money from his pocket. An ancient
law of North Carolina provides for
cutting off the cars of rogucs in
some cases. and the Carolinian pro
ceeded to put it in execution by cut
ting off an ear Of the rascal. The
rogue had white Skin, and this fact
alone Will probably prevent a militia
ry order snspcnding IL law OF the
State.
