The Reign ogTerror in the south.

WASHINGTON, December 26.-Under
this date the correspondent of the New
York Herald writes: 7
One of yoar travelling correspondents.
who has just made an extensive tour Of
Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama.
North Carolina and South Corolina, repre-
sents the condition of the freedmen as
heartrending in the extreme In all the
cotton districts of those States the great
mass of the freedmen are not only on the
point Of starvation but possess scarcely
safIicienoy Of clothing to covr their ma
kedness. At most Of the railway stations
many colored children collect On the arriv-
al of the trains and enter into competition
with the fanshed swine and dogs for the
possession Of the bones thrown by passen-
gers from the trains, while scores Of lazy
negroes collect about the depots as specta-
tors. In the corn growing districts the
prospects Of a famine are not so near, and
whites and blacks are On friendly terms. -
In many counties of these States the for
ests are filled with armed negroes, who
hunt game in day time and make RAIDS up
on planters stock at hight. The reign Of
terror is general in upper Louisiana, lower
Mississippi and the cotton districts of
Georgia and the Carolinas. The destitu-
ton, however, is not confined to the blacks
Thousands Of the white population have
not il months provisions ahead, and 40
money with which TO lay in a supply
Many planters, who were farseeing, pro-
vided a years supply for their families, but
the starving negroes have very generally
pillaged their smoke houses and granaries
and stripped them clean. His estimate of
the number Of persons Compiled from sta
tistics collected by the Executives of the
States and othcrs) who will starve unless
Congress provides some relief, is three
millions, two-thirCls Of whom are negroes
This estimate embraces Louisiana, SIisss-
sippi, Alabama, Georgia and The Carolinas
He has no estimate CT the other unrecon-
structed States. Unless prompt action is
taken to provide for the starving freedmen
and whites the pillaging of the whites will
become general, the latter will resist, and
a bloody conflict will be the result. Plant
ers are generally alarmed and would leave
the country could they raise the means to
remove their families Hundreds are offer
ing their homes for a mere song, but can
find no purchasers. Plantations that before
the war commanded as high as fifty dol
lars per acre can be purchased for five dol
lars per acre, SO general is the terror that
reigns and the desire Of the owners to save
their families from the outrages that are
threatened by the negroes, unless ala come
from the government or the people Of the
North.
