BualAu.-This corrupt institution,
psoduetive Of ~ much evil, and no
good, expires with this year Oh
cisl notice Of it, discontinuaacc, ex-
ecpt for educational purposes, has al
ready been given. Practically it is
already at an end Nothing remains
but to wind up the hideous concern,
aud to endeavor as far as possible to
conceal its vilhanics. and to bury ia
The great vacuum Of forgc,fallness its
iniquities and injuries. or course
every one seems disposed to rejoice,
sad TO feel thankful that IL at an

would be abundant reason for con.

csl vagsboads, and - . means of op.
pssssiea, still maintains il hold upon
The gsvsrsssst. We may therefore
look fss something else perhaps as
bad ~ the negro bureau that has
closed. Tia number Of mcndicants

millions Of dollars required to run

for that, 10 con mon with every one

CONDITION OF AFFAIRS AT JEy-
PERSON. friend writes US from
Jsfsrsos ~ follows:
"Ths prisoners arc now undergo
iag all the troubles and inconvs-
nisncss Of prisoner Of war. They
are no longsr allowed any privileges,
but arc kept locked up; friends and
even relatives arc denied admission
into the camp where they are con-
lined. Yesterday and day before,
Mrs. Slaughter, vito Of Mr. NJ. 7.
Slaughter, visited the camp, and ask :
ed the privilege Of seeing her hus-
band, and it was refused. This
morning (the 22nd) the fact was
made known to Gen. Buell., and he
requested Mrs. $ to yisi, his head
quarters. presume from this he
intends to permit her to see her hus
band
We do not know the cause Of this

rested wi,hou. any charge being
openly preferred sgainst them, ant

revolving to every sense Of right, jus
