l cannot say one word
about your coming here, for am so COM
pletely disguised with tho arrangements that
have sworn enough each hour Of the day
since my arrival to answer for old Magruder
for year. Hhe country is rebel in the ex-
treme. Every man looks upon you as a
Yankee prisoner. | lett the hotel yesterday
Tor two reasons; one was, II cost six dollars a
day: the other was, / had a room which was
not fit for a hog. ] moved TO Mrs. Ms.
after going to the only Yankee boarding house
( in town, and about dozen Rebels that were
full Here am charged hundred dollars a
month for miserable room partially CARPET
ed, with no furniture except an old-fashioned
bureau without dressing glass, a pine ward
robe, two chairs and iolr dollar bedstead,
A
from Rebel hospital, a small coal CRATE, and
pine table without paint or cover OF any
kind. We had for breakfast some Stops in
tended for coffee or, perhaps, tea; sausage
balls prepared in Southern style, a sort of
chopped hog and bones; some beefsteak fried
in lard and tough as the lowest part of the
leg could make it; some holniny and cakes
heavy as lead. That Is sample, and fair
one, of all the meals we have had since we
came here.
l would not advise you to come unless YOU
can get an agency under the Bureau. There
are quite a number in the State and al
ways changing. You viii say have 30: the
hiues. Well, have, and with good cause
There Is not one single pleasant thing about
the situation, and to put up With such quar-
tiers and living and Rebel talk is pretty hard
for white man. Iii swear you would fight
in one day here. There are several Reb. flags
hung up in the parlor, and pictures OF Davis
and Lee, trimmed and oruamented- in
mourning as they should be. The country is
too poor to think ofaDy trade here; not cent
OF money. The crops last year were nearly
: total failure. They tell me cotton is not
safe here at all, yet they depend on that more
than any other crop Very little rice Is
grown in the State, and that only in the low
er districts where white men cannot live
Up this way cotton, corn and tobacco are the
principal crops. There are good many
Northern men here looking for investments,
some in lands in the gold regions, some in
plantations, very few in trade, there is so lit
tie money in the country. Things must be
better here very soon, but am almost willing
to make oath that win not stay and certain
ly shall not unless some unlocked for luck
turns up.
