MASS MEETING OF FREEDMEN. meeting of
the freedmen which was called to ratfy the pro-
ceedings Of the meeting on Thursday night was
held yesterday, at So'clock on the Citadel Green.
The meeting was large and orderly one, but was
composed Of very much larger proportion of
women and children than could have been antici-
pated. The speakers were generally the same as
at the last meeting, but have not thought it nee
essary report their remarks in full They appeared
to give satisfaction to the audience, and the
speeches of the freedmen, for the most part, were
in very good temper.
We regret that aftor the meeting dispersed some
Of the crowd created difficulty with the street
cars, but the interference Of the police put an end
to confusion without any serious disturb 80
far as We heard. ]: 'r"'
STRAwBERREs.-The lovers Of this delicious
fruit we're agreesbly surprised, q few days since,
to observe these luxuries temptingly displayed in
L ", x.,c3o
dictionary stores. They we're exposed to the gaze
of the King street promenaders in neat baskets,
and looked aggrayatingly enticing as they peeped
out from among the green leaves causing many
mouths to waiter, and bringing anticipatons of q
good time coming, when the cry Of "Any straw
berries" will be heard on the streets. These early
visitors were raised in the city limits, and were Of
all sizes, from piece Of chalk to small egg.
Dame nature has evidently determined not to be
behind hand in the grand spring opening, and the
wonders Of the vegetable kingdom athacted far
more attention than the new fashions that were
offered in the different establishments. The in
habitants Of the Crescent City have been boasting
OF their Strawberries and cream for some time, but
they viii find that the Palmetto State is hard to
best, and the Charleston farmers rank deservedly
high as skilled agrieulturists.
