incident is, we suppose, one Of ten thousand
similar ones, of daily occurrence in that sec
ton 2ile M ls ia,cl sli fs
e "A gentleman from one of the neighbor-
ing counties, who desired to obtain o number
of able bodied negro laborers for his plaDta-
ton, visited Richmond TO procure them, hav-
ing heard that there were hundreds Of I'M
employed blacks, lounging idly about the
city. The morning after his arrival he was
directed to one Of the localities where large
quantities Of bread and and soup are distrib-
uted by the Freedmen's Bureau. He found
ragged, hungry, horde Of nearly FIVE bum
bred persons, assembled to receive their usu-
al supply of food. To his astonishment, these
applicants for soup and bread were not all
women and children. He counted one hrn-
bred and eighty able-bodied negro men, ca
pable of performing every variety of farm
labor. There they were, with every con
ceivable variety of vessels, waiting hours, ia
