The white and she bleck Mutually require the protection of the Ceneral Government, There is such universal acquiescence in the authority of the General (rovernment throuyhout the portions of the country visited by me, thas the mere presence of # military foree, without regard to numvers, is sufficient maintain order he good of the country requires that the force kept in the interior, where there are many freedmen [elewhere in the Southern States than as forts upon the e¢a const no force is necessary) should all be white troops, ‘The reasons tor this are obviou without mentioning many of them, The presence o: Diack troops lately slaves demoralizes inbor, both by their advice and furnishing in their carp a resort for the freedmen for long distances around. White sreens renerally exciie no opposition, and therefore small number of them can maintain order in @ given district. Colored troops muat be kept in bodies tufticlent to delend themselves, It i* not the thinking mea who wonld co vielence towards any class of troops sent amone them by the General Government; but the ignorsnt tn some places might; and the late slave, too, who might be imbued with the idea that the property of bis iate master should belong to him, at least should have no protection from the colored soldier, There ls danger of collision being brought on by euch causes. observa tions lead me to the conclusion that the citizens ot the Southern States are anxious to return to self government within the Union As @00n as pos- sible; that whilst reconstructing they want and require protection from the Government; that, they think i required by the Government, and t# not humiliatine to them as citizens; and that if such « course was pointed ont, they would pursue it in pore faith. Itisto be regrettea thay there cannot be a greater commneling at this time between the eiti- zensorthe t\ 6 6 clions, and particularly of shore entrusted witli, ue law making pow I did not give the operations of the Freedmen's Bureau that attention | woud have done if more time had been at my disposal, Conversations, how- ever, on the eubject with officers connec ed with the Bureau, led me to think that in some of the States ite affairs have not been conducted with good judg- ment or economy, and thatthe belief widely spread among the freecmen of the Bouthern Steter that the lands of their former owners will, at leeet in part, be divided am: them, hae come from the e of this Bureau, This belief is eerously interfering with e willingness of the freedmen to make con- or the coming year. In some form the Freedmen's Bureau 1s an absolute necessity, mntil civil law is established and securing to tho freedmen thelr rights, and full protec:ion, At present, howe t is independ- entot the military establishment the country, and seeme to be operaved by the different agente o the Burean according to their individuals notions. Everywhere General Howard, the able head of the Burean, made friends by the just and fair instruc. tions and advice he gave. But the Complaint in Bouth Carolina wae that when Le left things went on aa before, Many, perbape the majority of the agents of the Freedmen's Bureau, advise the freedinen that by their own industry they mustexpect to live, To this end they endeavor to secure employment tor them, and to eee that beth contracting partice comply with their engagements, Im some cases, | aro sorry to eay, the freeamana’ mind does not seem to be disabused of the ides that the freedman hos the rixtt to live without care or provision for the future, The effect ot the belief in the division of imude is idieness and accumulation in cainps towne and cities, In such cases I think it will be tound that vice and ciresee will tend to the exter- mination or great destruction of the colored race, It cannot be expected that the opinions beid by men at the south foryeare can be changed io a day; and therefore the freedinen require for a few years, not only laws to protect them, but the fostering care of thore who will give them «ood council aud ou whom they cau rely. The Freedmen's Bureau being separated = from =the military — establishment ot the country, requires all the expense of e reparate organization, One does not necessarily know what the other ie doing, or what orders they ure aeting under, Itreeme'o me this coud be eo:- 1 d by regarding every otficeron duty with frou; ju the Southern States as ageate of the Pieedinen's Bureau, and then have all orders frow ihe head of the Bureau sent through the Depariacat cor ere, This would crea ea teeponsibility © create untformity of action throughout the South; would insure the orders and juetructione trom the head of the Bureau being carried out, and woud relieve from auty and pay «large uuuberol ew joey ce of the Government, 1 hve the honor io be, very respectfully, your obediwens servant, Us. tenant, Lieuteusus General POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE, California Sreramento, Cal., Dee. 18.— Resolutions ratifying | ,he Constitutional amendment abolishing ery | \ avorably passed the State Legislature to day.
