BRADLEY STILL AT Work AMONG TIE NEaRoEs....-. -:
It would seem tEat this dangerous fellow is SUI
engaged in sowing the seeds OF what may YET prove
to be 8 serious disturbance.
Capt Brandt yesterday afternoon telegraphed
Cen Scott that by the renewed advice OF the noto-
rious Bradley, the colored people who agreed 70
part therefrom last week, returned in large num-
b.rs Yesterday and took possession OF the islands,
crossing the river in ats laden with furniture and
other effects. The planters who find themselves
aid of Gen. Scott, and a large number Of them ar
rived in our city last evening to consult and take
advice as to the best plan tc be adopted to secure
the control Of their plantations,
The freedmen have returned to Captain MANI
gault s plantation and have occupied the quarters,
driving the people out Who were entitled to re-
main.
CAPTAIN Brandt informs us that Bradley's mis-
representations to the colored people have COM
trict, and created feeling OF dstrust and unoasi-
ncss, the majority Of the freedIson stii believing
that Bradleyy's famous one dollar petitions will
have the promised OBJECT OF procuring for each
poor negro, who was foolish enough to denote ono
dollar Of his hard-earned money to the private PRIV
purse Of the truly pdilanthropsc and purely disin-
terested Bradley the possessory titles to these fine
sea islands. -Saoamnah Republican.

CHURCH. Quite a large concourse OF people we're,
last evening" assembled in this church to listen to
addresses from several individuals upon the sub
ject Of the recent s'exodus' Of colored persons
from this State to Florida. After the usual intro
ductory exercises q few remarks were mace by
white man, who gave glowing picture OF the Ter
tility and prosperity OF Florida, the grent aa-
vantages it presents to the co!ored race as an
abiding place.
The announcement TINT the notorious Aaron a.
Bradley would address the audience undoubtedly
drew quite q number Of colored people to the
church. vino were curious to see the ''wonld. be
Moses" Of their raco-he that, like Head Centre
Stephens, had promised much but done little
Bradley, in his usual modest way, arose, and, in
tangent, said:
tLadies and Gentlemen lam sorry, very sorry
indeed for having had anything to do with this
meeting. I was decoyod into it. I have ate-
ly been to Washington, and came here tonight
to report to you.-to give you my views I'D regard
to lands in Florida I find, however, that certain
person {nodding his head in the direction of
white man who sat near him) has dictated to me,
OF attempted to dictate to me, what shall say
upon this question to-night-what words shall
strike; General Tillson to the contrary notwith-
standing (applause), General Grant, or anybody
else. S nee, however, am prevented speaking
my views, will leave. .

the main isle, and was followed by half the con-
gregation Upon reaching tho steps of the church

MILITARY GoNE-Thomasville is onoo moro
evacuated by the United States forces, and the
town is now restored to it's usual quiet. About q
dozen soldiers, attached to the Freedmens Bu-
reRu, drinking and carousing curslng and swear
ing in the Court House, where they made their
headquarters, have kept the town in III uproar for
several months, and required all the vigilance OF
the authorities to keep them in subordination. At
last they; received orders, and LETT on tho train
Wednesday morning. II it should over be found
necessary to send more soldiers here, We sincerely
hope better class will be selected. But there
never will be any necessity for soldiers to keep this
community quiet as long as the civil authorities
are 1ntrammelled, and not ever. then, u the clti-
gems are left to themseiy-s.
