II Is understood that those who treated
negroes unfairly cannot now obtain
bond. The Subcommissioner at Natchez
states that while there is some destitu'
ton among the negroes, the most alarm
ing suffering and restitution is staring
the white population in the face, and oil
the two classes the former is better sltua'
ted, being able to do that kind OF work
which is generally in demand, and their
wants being few their expenses are
small, and but few complaints are being
made to the bureau. The schools are
in Aourishing condition and well sus-
tanned, and the negroes are doing much
to support them. In conclusion, Gen.
Gillem remarks there is no opposition
from the more intelligent classes to the
education of the negroes, but on the
contrary many plantess haze applied for
teachers, and are willing to permit the
necessary buildings for schools Gen.
Gillem is convinced that all prejudices
against the education of the blacks will
disappear.
The demand for labor continues una.
bated. Thousands Of negroes are brought
to this State from the older and less fer.
tilted States of Georgia, Virginia, the
Carolinas, etc.
The accounts of destitution and star
walton as far as they refer to Mississippi,
are much exaggerated. During January
no rations we're issued to citizens, white
or black, except those in hospitals.
