.i; , TflE FREEDMEN'S BUREAU Report of General Steedman and Fnlltrton Highly Interesting Developments, &c. Generals Steedman and Fullerton, the commis sioners appointed to investigate the operations of the Freedmen's Bureau in the Southern States, have just made their final report to the Secretary, of War It gives a minute and interesting ac count of the inspections made in the departments of Georgia Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. We have not space to give more than a few condensed extracts from the report, which is quite long: REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURES. A great reduction of the expenses in the bureau, and a reform which would render it far less ob tionable than it is now, would be effected by the discontinuance of all paid employees not in the military sen-ice of the government. This would reduce the expenses for clerks, contract surgeons, hospital stewards, &c, the following amounts : Georgia, 34,584 per annum ; Alabama, $33,312 ; Mississippi, 630,270 ; Louisiana, $55,984 ; Texas, 610,896 making a total of 105,052 per annum. All the labor performed by these employees, except perhaps the occasional services of a con tract surgeon, might be discharged by details from he troops. In previous reports kwe , have recom mended the merging of the duties of the bureau and the military. We would again respectfully urge this amalgamation, and that one set of offi cers should be required to perform the joint duties, thus avoiding the expense of maintaining two es tablishments. GEORGIA. The bureau in Georgia, under the management of the present able and emcfcnt assistant commis sioner, brevet Major General Tilson, has been honestly administered, and has accomplished all the good of which the system is capable. It has been assisted by the Governor, by the Judges of the Supreme Court, by the civil authorities, and to some extend by the citizens. The amended laws of Georgia are fully as liberal as those of any Northern State, and place the negro in all respects on a perfect equality with white man, as to his civil rights. The freedmen of Georgia, when we went through the ' State, were generally at work, and, wherever their wages were remunerative and regularly paid them, were contented and doing well. ALABAMA. In this State Major General Wager Swayne, the assistant commissioner, has pursued a discreet and enlightened policy in administering the af fairs of the bureau, laboring on all occasions to secure the co-operation of the civil authorities and to obtain from the judicial machinery of the State a recognition of the rights essential to the security and well-being of the freed people. This policy of General Swayne has produced a much more" kindly feeling towards the bureau than ex its where its agents have assumed to exercise judi cial powers. Though the administration at headquarters has been satisfactory, subordinate agents have been guilty of considerable irregularities. The names of several engaged in planting are given. MISSISSIPPI. The control of freedmen's affairs in this State is in the hands of Major General Wood. With the exception of some localities the negroes are work ing industriously, and as a rule are kindly treated and doing well. In this, as in others we have visited, the officers of the bureau formerly imposed and collected fines, and many kept no records. We found a marked instance of this kind at Grena da, where a former agent of the bureau, Captain Livermore, did a thriving business in the way of collecting fines, selling rations and government horses and mules. This officer seems not only to have collected fines ranging from fifty cents to five dollars from the freedmen for marrying them, but also attempted to exact fees from resident white ministers for giving them permission to marry freedmen. In cases where the negroes were unable to pay the sum demanded of them for approving their contracts or marrying them, the chaplain levied on their personal property, in one case seizing a ne- groe's empty wallet and jack knife for a balance of fifty cents. This close driving is probably to be accounted for by the fact that Chaplain Liver- more openly expressed his intention to return to Illinois with ten thousand dollars m his pocket. After he had been removed from his post he of fered a military officer fifty dollars for his influ ence to retain him in his position. Chaplain .Livermore left no official papers behind to show the disposition he had made of the funds received A large amount of money was also collected by the first two agents at Columbus in the shape of fees and fines, and so far as we could learn no ac count was ever rendered of it. This class of ofn cers have lately been mustered out, or have dis appeared. Under the present administration the agents exercise no judicial powers. LOUISIANA. The bureau in this department is more in need of retrenchment and reform than in any other State we have visited. More money has been col lected, and more money has been squandered in Louisiana than in any other three Southern States. The expenses of the bureau, as accounted for for the fiscal year ending the 1st of June, 18G0, were over three hundred thousand dollars. To meet this expenditure there were collected in taxes and rents the following amounts : For school purposes $90,387 36 From rents i'2,431 90 From poll-tax 40, 11 From Corps d'Afrique tax 23,000 00 From lines 673 10 SUMMARY. In pursuing this investigation, which has now extended over four months, we have found a. treme difficulty in complying with that portion of our instructions which requires us to report upon the operations of the bureau and its mode of ad ministration. The bureau has no settled mode of administration. There is an entire absence of system or uniformity in its constitution. In one State its officers exercise judicial towers. in an adjoining State all cases are referred to the civil authorities ; while in a third State the bureau of hcers collect tlie cases and turn them over to the military provost courts to dispose of. In some de partments the officers of the bureau have attempt ed to regulate the rate of wages ; one form of con tract between employer and employed is prescrib ed in one State, while in another a different form is adopted. In Louisiana the expenses of the freedmen's schools have been wholly paid by the government ; in the other States the schools are partially self-supporting, and in Texas they are entirely so. In some localities the bureau officers interfere arbitrarily between the planter and the freedmen in favor of the freedmen ; in other local ities the bureau is used as a means of coercing the ireeumen in lavor oi the planter. The expendi ture of the bureau varies as much as its mode of administration. In one State the expenses are over three hundred thousand dollars a year; in another State with an equal population, the expenses are not more than lifty thousand. In some States the ex penses have been met by taxes levid on and col lected from the people fin other States the cost is entirely borne by the United States treasury. The official report of Colonel Iteno, United States army, provost marshal general of the bu reau of Louisiana, shows a deficit of upwards of seven thousand dollars in the accounts of the offi cers who were engaged in the collecting of taxes in New Orleans, which deficit Col. Reno says he is unable to explain in consequence of the loose manner in which the books were kept.

If any enterprise will build it up this is one to do it and Col. Johnston has the in fluence, ability and energy of character to make it a success. Charlotte Times. ;r;uTjt; newts BY TELEGRAPH; Negroes Dkillixg. For some weeks, we learn, a number of negroes, formed into companies, have been drilling in this city, we presume, with the knowledge of the military authorities. The mani fest impropriety of this ought to be apparent to everyone. The military commandant here cannot be ignorant of the consequences which were about to result from it in 'Richmond, and which Were prevented by the timely order of General Grant, suppressing all such organizations not recognized by law. No one doubts that if an association of white men were to meet regularly for purposes of military drill, without the authority of law, he would suppress it at once. We call upon General Robinson, as the military guardian of law and or der in the State, to put a stop to this thing. We learn that the colored population, properly belong ing to this city, are opposed to this thing and be lieve there is harm in it. Strange negroes have congregated here from all parts, and they are the parties principally engaged in this mischief. They are the authors of most of the mischief occurring. Our colored people are generally well behaved. Gen. Jko. II. Cooke. We were glad to meet this brave, battle-scared gentleman, late of the Confederate army on our streets yesterday. He ties, the Freedmen's Bureau did rrood. The reo-1 was oul leader during the late bloody struggle pie of the South, having at first r.o faith in the negroes working under a free labor system, were desirous of getting rid of them, and "during the summer of ltG5 judicious bureau and military offi cers did much towards restoring order and har mony, and inducing the people of the South to re sumo the cultivation of their plantations by em ploying the freedmen. Before the close of 1SC5 there was an entire revolution in the sentiments of the people of the South with regard to negro labor. A feeling of kindness sprang up towards the freedman, resulting, perhaps, mainly from the conviction, that his labor was desirable, profita ble and the only labor to be had. lhe necessity ot the bureau then ceased. Since then, while it has been beneficial in some locali ties, it has been productive, in the aggregate, of more harm than good. It has occasioned and will perpetuate discord as long as it exists, though administered by the purest and wisest men of the nation. The freedmen regard its presence as evi dence that they would be unsafe without it, and the white people consider it an imputation upon their integrity ana tairness ; an espionage upon the official action of all their courts and magis trates, as well as upon the private conduct of their citizens. Both races are thus made suspicious and bitter by an agency which, in the present re-or- ganizeu condition of civil government and society in the Southern States, is powerless to advance the interests of either. Tho report closes with some remarks showing that the system of contracts as enforced by the bureau is simply slavery in a new form, and'oper ates to the injury of the freedmen. Total $253,418 37 Leaving a deficit of $60, 057 33 to be paid out of the national treasury. These expenses are in addition to the transportation, rations and quar termaster's supplies furnished by the government. It is difficult to determine to what use the vast amount of property held by the bureau has been applied. At the very lowest estimate, the pro perty taken possession of as confiscated or aban doned amounted in value to ten millions of dol lars, and the rents returned as above mentioned are less than one per cent, on the entire value. The expenditure of the bureau, under the pre sent administration, for agents, civilian clerks and employees about its headquarters alone, amount to not less than 8-10, 23G a year, exclusive of the pay of staff officers and orderlies in the military service. A large proportion of the money expended on the freedmen schools, under the administration of the Rev. T. W. Conway, the late assistant com missioner, we are satisfied was squandered. Mr. Matthew Whilden, formerly chief clerk in the school department in evidence before us stated that in September, 1803, Captain Pease, the school superintendent, reported officially that there were forty schools in operation and in a flourishing condition, when, in fact, there were but two. From the sworn testimony it will be seen that Captain Morse, appointed provost marshal of the bureau by Mr. Conway, made the provost mar shal's office a slave-pen, arresting freedmen and selling them to planters at five dollars a head, and sharing the proceeds with his special policemen who made the arrests. This officer further col lected a larsre amount of money from freedmen and white personsfirrested by him for various of lenses, and his books only show receipts from this source amounting to 8G75 10. The bureau is cultivating a large plantation in fius State, for which it pays ten or fifteen thou sand dollars a year as rent. We can scarcely im agine the excuse for renting land on account of the United States, when the government, through each Congress, is giving away millions of acres of public lands to corporations.

A letter from Madrid of the 19th July says that all the principal personages who formed part of the late ministry, or who supported the policy of the liberal union, have abandoned Madrid and took leave of the Queen before their departure. During those visits to her Majesty several inter esting incidents occurred. Marshal Concha con versed for some time with the Queen respecting the late ministerial crisis, which he considered was quite unnecessary. He expressed himself with great energy and openness, and is said to have used these words: "I deeply regret the modification which the policy of the country has just undergone ; your Majesty, in depriving your self of the services of the Duke de Tetuan at the present moment, has cast away your crown (vues tra Majestadha tirudo su corona.) General Hogos said : " Your Majesty knows that I am one of your most ancient and faithful servants. I am ready to shed my last drop of blood, or to srerifice my life in the streets of Mad rid, in defence of the dynasty, but I consider the change as a great peril. I retrret the determina tion come to, not only for your Majesty, but also for the young Prince of the Austrias, who, I fore see with profound sadness, will never be called to bear the crown of Castille." Bermudez de Castro and Posada Herrera have left, the former for Biarritz, and the latter for the province of Santander, alter having taken leave of her Majesty together. Ihe Queen said to them that, in obedience to the inspirations of public opinion, she had been obliged to take other coun sellors, but that her feelings of affection and es teem for Marshal O'Donnell and his former col leagues were still the same. M. Posada Herrera replied with much coolness, and laying a particular stress on his words, " Madam, we have long been acquainted with the feelings which your Majsfty now deigns to again express ; we have besides re cently received proofs so significant that there is no longer room to doubt their sincerity.' The writer adds : I have obtained no details of the in terview between Marshal O'Donnell and Marshal Serrano ; I am, howeverinformed that her Majes ty appeared much affected after these two inter views. hie citic m uo upon mere rumor. t,eUotlle thirty-five agents in this State are Sf,? pknters- One of them, Colonel McCon &"7i,e?it in Thornton county, was formerly a t e eau by General Gregory, then as- .pardoned 1 ner for the State hile etm tm" in tI afuweisaw or were able to get information thp ' freeameu were working well and tulPS Were v?y Poising.

Sir: In an answer to yours of the 1st inst., I have to say that the tax on cigars, Ac, is to be assessed upon the price at which they are eold, if such price is established bv a bona fide sale : if not, upon an appraised value at which cierars, &c, of like quality are selling in the market. If the cigars are sold tor tS per 31., the tax is $2 per 31.: U sold for f 10 per 31., tho tax is H per 31. Cigars sold for more than $12 per M., are liable to $1, more than one-nfth of the price thefvure sold for, as tax.

It is whispered in Wash ington that the President is about to publish to the world a lot of letters written to him while he was Governor of Tennessee. These letters will " show up" in no enviable light a number of dis tinguished men in the North who are just now bitterly opposing the policy of Mr. Johnson. Mr. Sumner has had a long private interview with the President for the purpose, so says rumor, of dissuading him from making public these letters ; for it is said that this radical Senator is deeply in terested in not having them brought before the eyes of the public. The correspondent who gives the above gossip thinks that something more de finite will come to light in the course of a week or two. Hash. (jraz. New York and London.

Cotton rx Nokth Cakolinw. The New Nork Journal of Commerce gives place to a communi cation in favor of Southern immigration. The writer denies that the Southern people are op posed to selling their lands, and therefore calls the attention of Yankees, Germans, and others who wish to move and get rich, to what he con siders the finest field for emigration in the United States, meaning Eastern North Carolina general ly, and more especially the counties of Carteret, Craven, Beaufort, Hyde, Washington, and Tyr rell, containing about 5,000 square miles of land. This country, it is stated, is thinly settled ; the whites constitute nearly the whole population. There is no part of it which does not lie within a few miles of navigable water. It is healthy, and white men habitually work in the fields during the whole year. The writer says it is destined to be come the most profitable cotton region in the Uni ted States, and that this high land, if properly cultivated and manured, will bring 300 pounds of ginned cotton per acre. In good condition it sold before the war at $50 per acre. Uncleared, or in bad condition, it was worth about 1 per acre, if remote from towns or high roads, and, if near them , about $10. It can now be bought at those prices. The representations here made would seem suf ficient to attract many ; but there are others whom the advantages which Maryland affords would suit much better. The emigrant from Europe gene: rally knows nothing of cotton culture, and there fore we find our Maryland lands, the particular crops grown, and the mode of culture better a dapted for his acceptance. It is possible that while we shall have German agriculturalists set tling in our State, some of our native sons may be departing for these cotton lands of the old North State ; but with our great advantages of near and remunerative markets, there are no better oppor tunities any where than in Maryland for either na tives or foreigners.

The wigwam Avas crowded to its utmost capacity. One half of the audience were ladies. Senator Cowan, from the Committee on resolutions, and the address to be published to the United State, presen ted ;i declaration of principles which was unanimously and enthusiastically adopted. The address declares that the war just closed, has maintained the authority of the Con stitution and has preserved the Union, with the equal rights, dignity and authority of all the States, perfect and unimpaired ; that representation in Congress and in the electorial colleges, is a right abiding in, and a duty im posea upon every btate, ana mat neitner tJongress nor the general Government have any authority or power to deny the rigut to any Ntato ; that congress has no power over the elective franchise, but that right belongs exclu sively to eac h State ; that no State has the right to with draw fiom the Union ; that on ail Constitutional amend' ments all the States have an er;ual right to vote ; that slavery is aboh'shed and forever prohibited ; that the Na tional debt in sacred and inviolable, and the Confederate debt invalid ; recognizes the services of federal soldiers and ;sai:ors, and the debt due by the nation to them and their widows and orphans, and endorses President John son tor his steadfast devotion to tho Constitution, laws and interests of the country. The address was prepared by Mr. Raymond of the New York Times. It was read by that gentleman ana unanimously adopted. The National Committees Executive and Financial, were then announced. Senator Doolittle said in his opening address to the Convention, it was one of the greatest events of our day. It was the first National Convention in six years, and In the intermm there had been blood, agony and tears ; our brothers had fallen, and our resources had been wasted on a thousand battle fields ; but thank God ! the assur ances here tell us that peace has come at last. If the peo ple of the whole country could see the fraternal feeling hsi e, there would be no struggle at tt e polls this fall. Great applause. Put as a whole, the people cannot b9 here to witness what is transpiring ; the greater work rests on us. From this time until tho election of the next Congress, we should be untiring in our exertions to see that the next Congress, if this one shall continue to refuse this sacred right of representation to equal States, that the next shall recognize them. Applause. When that is done, the Union is restored ; and when the Union is restored, we shall be prepared to enter upon a higher and nobler ca reer among the nations of the earth than has ever yet been occupied by any government upon which the sun of Heaven ever shone upon.
