The report OF the freedmen's affairs in North
Carolina for December has been received at

close Of the year has brought with it more than
usual number Of complaints IN relation to
breaches OF contract ard non-payn1ent OF
wages for labor performed arising from lnditter;
ence to settle honest debts or inability to fulhl
obligations BIZ rea. on of the failure OF crops.
The system Of working for share OF the crops
has been so universal and tho almost entlre
fai1nre of the same so marked that but few OF
the laborers have realized anything, ana are
now without the means OF living by their own
resources, and employers are not IN q condi-
lion to provide for them during the long IN
tsrval before their lebors can be made avail

In this unfortunate state Of affairs the writer

important points save Camden, the track was in

which would have paid dividend of more than
six per cent. upon the capital stock. There

time that the company obtained possession OF

applied to meet this expense, the line had peen

the actual benefit OF nearly one million OF DOL

bond debt, The road earned q dividend and
the dividend was expended in putting the road

composed, as ii he were but taking pleasant rlde
through the balmy air of May, and felt in his own
soul, the soothing influences which the green land
scape and the fresh flowers and verdure Of Spring
were calculated to impart. His tranquility was un-
disturbed by the long lines Of excited men, rush

trembling beneath their feet and the air lighted up
BY the metallic simmer of their cleaning muskets
and flashing bayonets The prayers and impress

There was but brief time for thought Having
uttered his caution, as the men in the railway cut
sbrapk back to the right or le, the muzzles Of the
terrible field pieces appeared looming over the low
epbankment behind them and, one after another,
with a roar that made the hills quake, breathed
forth storm of smoke and fame and grape shot
nnon the ranks Of the enemy, that withered away
before the terrible discharge. Owing to the posi-
ton of the enemy line it was an enflading fire
that made fearful havoc in their ranks There
went up wild cry of agony from the red field, but
along the Confederate line there arose loud cheer
that told Of fre-animated hearts. :
fhe guns Of the battery that hadcomeupon the
field at 80 opportune moment were handled with
q will, and poured in 30 rapid fire thas the lines
of the enemy faltered and broke. The muskety
kept up its deadly rolling fire, and in two minutes
time, tbe mangled and bleeding columns Of tie
enemy, like wave broken on the rock, or ser
pent struck with deadly blow, were rolling back
to the cover Of the wood, shattered, disprted and
cowed By the unyieldins 6rmness that had hurled
them back, when victory seemed almost within
