IN, Fro,dmon's Bureau in FLORIDA.

"Mack," the very intelligent aud OBJ
serving correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, has the following in a
recent letter from Florida:
While l was in Jacksonville a negro
man called on me one night to complain
about the Freedmen's Bureau. BE in.
trodueed himself by saying he supposed
/ was from the North, to which |
responded in the affirmative. Well,
said he, " de black ones has been lookin
for some one from de Norf TO find out
about dis Bureau here" D." He then went
on to tell me his grievances, which he
said we're the grievances of all the blacks
in Jacksonville. 1t was impossible,
he said, to collect q debt through the
Bureau without losing more than bali OF
il in costs, and what he wanted to know
was whether Col. -, the Bureaniagent
at Jacksonville,) was paid By the Gov
ernment, or was sent down there 10 live
of the blacks" / told him certainly the
Government paid every Bureau officer.
" Well" said he, it is mighty queer.
A man owed me thirty dollars and
wouldn't pay me wentto the bureau and
asked them TO collect it; they charged
me fifteen dollars for getting witnesses
aud when the case was finished l had

only ten dollars left'a He assured me
that his case was no exception-that the
Bureau was constantly extorting money
from the negroes under one pretense or
another and concluded long tale of
the woes and sufferings of his race by
saying that "de black 1olks is wuss off
under de Bureau dan dsy was under
slavery" Personally, Of course, ] know
nothing Of the truth or falsehood Of what
was told to me, but repeated observations
of the workings of the Bureau in the
South have convinced me that while
without some such protection, as il ought
to afford, the negroes would fare badly, so
many abuses exist under il that in many
cases it is source ofinjury rather than of
benefit to those il is designed to shield
from wrong and oppression. 1t is some
thing that needs constant watching from
its principal authorities, lest the subor-
dinates who deal directly with the ne
groes betray their trust and only protect
the freedmen from the unjust aggressions
Of his former master to make him the
victim of their own selfish purposes.
Better no Bureau at all than one which
merely substitutes Northern cupidity for
Southern cruelty; and Of the latter / am
confident there would be very little if it
were not stimulated, as in great meas
ure it is, by the mismanagemsnt of the
Bureau, which, in many instances, en-
courages the negroes to do wrong. af

me Rslease Of Jeff,rson Davis.

The Americans, when they interceded
with our Government for the lives of the
Fenians convicted in Canada, did Ger
tainly not preach where they were un-
prepared to practice Since the conclu-
sion of the war the North, though severe
on the Southern community, has given
way to no animosities against individu-
ais. No one has been put to death in
America for what the North has declared
to be treason very few have have been
molested if they acquiesce in the restored
rule and take no part in politics. The
leniency of the Government has, how
ever been carried to to its furthest
point by the release on bail of Mr.. JET
ferson Davis, after captivity of two
years. Whether he will ever be brought
to trial seems to be still uncertain, but
we may almost predict that in any case
the punishment inflicted on him will not
be extreme. We can see that in the
case of America this is the wisest policy,
and it is best not to give renewed rancor
to the animosities Of the South by any
act of severity. A similar forbearance
would have its good effect in Ireland,
also. London Times, MdV Is.

A Miduight Council Of War.

Here is one Of the hitherto untold
stories of the war, sketch Of the mid
night council of Gen. Grant and his
corps commanders, after the close of the
first days fighting in the Wilderness:
The result of the fierce conflict had
been adverse to the army Of the United
States. Gen. Lee had flung one wing Of
his army between our forces and the
base Of their supplies, which would re-
quire another battle to regain them.
Each division and corps commander
knew this sad condition of affairs They
we're all summoned to council of war, to
be held at the headquarters at l o'clock
at. night. They were the saddest steps
ever taken by that band of devoted hearts.
Fifteen thousand brave soldiers, dead
or dying, or wounded, were lying on the
field hard by. One after another entered,
and after making noiseless salute ST.
lently took their seats. Gems. Schofeld,
Meade, Burnside, Sickles, Howard and
others, l believe, were there. Not a
word was spoken. A full half hour thus
passed by. Their emotions were too
deep for utterance. Hopes of millions
hung on the decision OF that council. At
length General Grant asked each one in
succession if they had any advice
to proffer Each one answered with
a sad monosyllable no. The com
mander then wrote few lines,
and handed the slip to General
Meade, and he retired. This was re-
peated until all were gone and the
General was left alone One of the staff
of division commander, who was sick,
was the last to retire, and he is authority
for the above. All we're ignorant of each
others order. They felt assured that
retreat had been directed. Any other
alternative would have been believed to
be madness. Had they known that the
order had been given to advance, instant
and universal mutiny would have been
raised. That eloquent silence for
which he has ever been noted, was
the key to his success there The next
morning each corps moved, and General
Lee, the instant he perceived it, with
vehemence exclaimed: "Our enemy
have a leader at last and our cause is
lost p Probably General Lee never
said anything of the kind.) He had bid
his officers the night before to let their
soldiers sleep long. But now he saw the
army which he thought utterly defeated,
moving round between him and his base
of supplies. He hastened to begin re-
tracing his course, and confessed to an
artillery officer of the Confederate army
that the doom Of their cause was sealed.
