THE Distribution OF Corn TO THE DETT1rUTE
OF 81. PETERS PARIsH.-The Savannah News and
Herald says: "By the Act of Congress of March
0, 1857, providing for the distribution of certain
supplies to the poor OF the South, the distribution
to cease ON the 3Oth of September last, Captain
II. c. BRANDT, Of the Freedmen's Bureau, was for
some time engaged in the work of dividing the al
.otment assessed to him among the destitute in
st. Peters Parish, 8. c. He completed his distri-
button at the time specified, and has squared up
ais accounts. He has issued rations to 100 per-
cons, amounting in the aggregate to 81, 5000 lbs.
corn and 1857 lbs. bacon. a large proportion of
this was given to the widows and orphans of de-
ceased soldiers.
while his headquarters were at Rice Hope,
across the river, he gave out 1870 lbs. pork and
212O lbs. corn meal to twenty-six men, ono hun
dred and six women and twenty-three children,
including many orphans.
With no fondness for the Freedmen's Bureau, as
orr readers will testify, and with the knowledge
Of considerable rascality done in it by political
appointees, under the guise Of philanthropy, we
cannot refrain from complimenting Captain B..
on the reputation for integrity in the discharge
Of his duties among planters and sensible color
ed people.
For instance, the strict enforcement OF the order
regarding s%quatters is in gratifying contrast to the
the behaviour of some Freedmen's Bureau mon
and is most creditable.
AN APPEAL FOR AID FOR THE MOTHERS, WIDOWS
AND DAUGHTERS OF DECEASED CoNEEDERATE SOL
DIERs.-The undersigned, a Committee of Ladies',
propose to establish in the City Of Charleston, 8.
O., a Home" for the mothers, widows and daugh-
ters Of deceased Confederate soldiers, VIII NAV be
in restitution or want.
The plan will be, at first, to furnish rooms to the
destitute, at a rent merely nominal, and ultimate
ly, Ii possible, to enable the inmates to defray the
expenses Of their rent, and aid in the support of
the institution, by giving a portion of their time
to such labor or employment as shall be respective
ly suited to them, and as shall be provided by tho
Association. At the outset, tho Home" will be
measurably dependant upon the contributions Of
the public; 1t 10 hoped, however, that in process Of
time, it may be made self-sustaining.
The large number Of ladies' who have been re-
duced to extremity by the ~exactions and unsuc-
cessful issue OF the late war, render such an insti-
tuition not only a meritorious charity, but almost
an absolute necessity. If our affairs were now
prosperous or promising, there would not be 90
much occasion for it; but the deep depression
which seems to have settled down upon our
fortunes, makes our future still more gloomy,
from its uncertainty.
There can be no class Of persons more worthy
than those whom this institution is designed to
beneft-helpless women, who have seen better
days and who have lost all their means of support,
upon which they formerly relied.
There cannot be q better opportunity for the
benevolent, upon whom the blessing Of wealth or
competency has smiled, to spare something from
their abundance to assist their suffering fellow
creatures, whose only crime 10 that they are the
mothers, widows aid daughters of men who have
given their lives .r o cause which they believed
to be that Of 7 lst .ce and Freedom
