The Freedmen,s Bureau.

The New York Sun gives the following
sorrowful paragraph, touching that expen-
sive luxury, the Freedmen's Bureau =
"The Assistant Commissioner of
the Freedmen's Bureau, in the Depart
men5 of North Carolina, reports great
destitution and suffering among the negroes
of that State. The work of education, how:
ever, is highly prosperous, the number OF
freedmen's schools having been increased
to lls. The policy of spending money
in building schools and teaching the al
phabet to little darkies is well enough in
its place, but it seems to US that the more
pressing necessity is for something to
keep the freedmen from starving and
freezing. Radical philanthropy is always
applied to the sufferers head, when in fact
it would generally be more serviceable if
applied to the stomach. |: is bread, not
books, that the negroes are most in need
of. Let the means of education be given
to them at the proper time, but in their
present condition the chief requirement
is employment and the means of obtain,
ing corn bread for their stomachs, and
brogans for their feet. The radicals ought
to abandon the idea of elevating' the
moral and intellectual condition of the
negroes until the latter shall have attain
ed a position in which they can be sure
of enough to eat. The idea that educa-
ton is sovereign remedy for all the ills
t, which darkey flesh is heir to, is one of
The most absurd things of this age of ab-
Surdities."
