| Feby. 13" | New Berne Sub Dist. |   | 91 | 1009 | 1639 | 2739 | 2835 | 35 | 119 | 214 | 36 | 154 | 250 | 15350 |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   | The communication of the Dept. Comdr. asking the reason for the gain in dependants at Goldsboro and Roanoke Island has been sent to the officers at those points for report. The gain of Goldsboro can be accounted for thus - it being a central point for the Railroads in the State large numbers of freedmen stop there (on their way to different points in the State), to take the next train, and many of these being without rations or means of obtaining such are fed by the Bureau, and accounted as dependents. While the number of dependents in Goldsboro is decreasing, the number of Freedmen aided in [[transition?]] through that place is constantly changing.

The gain at Roanoke Island cannot be accounted for until the report of the Asst. Supt. is received. |
