The Daily Advertiser. S. G. REID, Editor and Proprietor. MONTGOMERY Thursday, August 3, 1865. Mr. Beckley's Report from the Freedmen's Bureau in Alabama. Comment upon this singular paper is unnecessary for those familiar with the facts. Our people, and all fair-minded men from the Northern States who have been among them during this period, know what has been the true condition of things. It will be observed that this report was written nearly two months ago, before either free men or freedmen had definitely learned their relative positions. The Freedmen's Bureau had just been established here. Mr. BUCKLEY, doubtless, came amongst us with the most intense prejudice against the slaveholders, and sympathy for the slaves. We will not say, because we do not know, that his observation and experience since that time have given him a more correct conception of the character and prospects of the two races in the South; but we must believe that any sane and well-meaning man——as we have no reason to doubt he is——would have had his ideas somewhat modified by a more intimate knowledge of the people with whom he has had to deal. We must think of Mr. BUCKLEY would now give his candid opinion of the local situation he would say that he found the negroes more industriously engaged, and in better condition, on the plantations with their former masters than he had been able to make them with all the guarantees for their freedom and wages that he and a most willing government and people have been able to give them; and that after all the people of the South are not such a set of criminals for being loyal to their convictions as to make it just or wise to take their lands from them and make their former slaves "proprietors of the soil." We suggested this much for Mr. BUCKLEY's benefit, and without consultation with him. Gen. SWAYNE has recently assumed command of the Freedmen's Bureau in Alabama, MF. BUCKLEY being retained in charge of this district, and has made a most favorable impression on those who have met him, for sound discretion and impartial administration. Every sensible man recognizes, fully, the changed relations of the negroes to their former owners and wishes the authorities all possible success in their efforts to encourage the freedmen to habits of greater industry, morality, intelligence and economy. We feel satisfied that no people could feel a deeper interest in the welfare of the negroes than those of the South, and that none will rejoice more than themselves if any other system than this shall work a greater amelioration to the condition of that unfortunate race. Foreign Emigration to Texas. During the war, large numbers of negroes were carried from all the Trans-Mississippi States to Texas, and that State now has a doubly larger negro population than ever before. It seems, however, that it is the first to engage in emigration schemes. Mr. FISHER, who for some years before the war was engaged in procuring emigrants to Texas, is about to re-commence the business, and the people and papers are greatly encouraging him in the undertaking. They wish to get a population that will bring out the productive qualities of the country either as planters on their own account, or laborers for those who wish to cultivate largely. By this means the negro may also be made to work. Industrious white men will soon convince them that the soil can be filled and will be made productive, and that if they wish to earn a livelihood they must leave the towns, quit hanging around provost guards, and take up their old and proper business of handling the hoe and running the plow. The people of Alabama would do well by all means to encourage emigration to this State, and to obtain and abundant supply of free white labor, rather than trust alone to the efficacy of Freedmen contracts, and vagrant and work-house laws. The New York Times——This journal pretends to be conservative and conciliatory, but an article on the outside of the paper from its columns or the Southern Press, displays an amount of ignorance and malice which contradicts its professions. The Press of the South almost unanimously accepts the situation as it is, and utter no unmanly repinings, but on the contrary urge the people to become good citizens by taking and observing the amnesty oath and submitting quietly to the laws of the land. Such articles as that of the Times, while pretending to give good advice, only serve to keep alive in the North feelings of hostility to the South, as ill-timed as they are wanting in that moderation and magnanimity necessary to the restoration of amicable relations between the sections. We see in the Mobile Tribune the announcement of old and Well known citizens for the Convention: Gen. T. L. Toulmin, C. C. Langdon, Dr. Samuel Wolf, Peter Hamilton. THE NEW ORLEANS PICAYUNE.——A greeting from the sterling old journal, we prize most highly. The Picayune has been so well identified with the interests of the South West, that its names and character are as familiar as household words in all commercial circles. Nothing flashy, sensational or up-startish, but always able, truthful and reliable, the New Orleans Picayune stands among the foremost of Southern newspapers. THE WORK BEGUN.——The United States Marshal is busily engaged in serving writs upon parties in Richmond whose property it is sought confiscates. In two days he served over one hundred writs, and among others one on the owners of the Spotswood and Ballard House. This course is causing great excitement in Richmond. Hon. AMBROSE JORDAN, an old and well-known lawyer of New York, died in that city recently. He has filled many important offices and was buried with great honor. Important to Railroad Companies, By a letter from the Central Office, Post Office Department, Governor Parsons has been informed that the Postmaster General will be prepared to put the mails upon the railroads in Alabama as soon as the Governor inform him that they will be in charge of proper and reliable persons. The following are the rules fixed upon by the Department. Montgomery to Opelika $75, per mile, per annum. Opelika to Columbus $50, per mile per annum. Opelika to West Point $75, per mile, per annum. Montgomery to Greenville $50, per mile, per annum. State Line to Pensacola $50, per mile, per annum. Mobile to Pollard $50, per mile, per annum. Columbus to Union Springs $30, per mile, per annum. Memphis to Stevenson $75, per mile, per annum. Moscow to Summerville $50, per mile, per annum. Tuscumbia to Florence $30, per mile, per annum. Selma to Talladega $30, per mile, per annum. The mails to be carried daily, and as often as the cars run; to be in a safe and convenient place with sufficient room and fixtures to enable the route agents to make up and deliver the same in line of the road and subject to the existing regulations of the Department. A call has been made upon WM M. Byrd, Esq. A well-known lawyer of Selma to become a Candidate for the Convention, from Dallas county. The people of Russell county are to meet in convention on the 8th inst., to select members for the State Convention. We have received the prospectus of a weekly newspaper to be published in Mobile under the of "The Southern Argus and Crisis" at the price of five dollars per year. It is to take the place of the able paper known as the Army Argus and Crisis. It will be a general newspaper and independent in politics. All communications should be addressed to W.F Wisely, corner of Centre and Water Sts., Mobile Ala. A NEW SENSATION.——The log house which Gen. Grant occupied at City Point is being shipped to Philadelphia and will be there placed in one of the city parks. OF INTEREST TO THE LADIES——Silk to be More Costly.-The London papers state that "the silk-worm breeders of France are in a position of the greatest distress. A strange disease which has reappeared among the worms from time to time——notable in 1683 and 1710——has, since 1860 recommenced its ravages, till the price of seed has risen ten fold, and the demand for mulberry leaves has fallen off that the planters threaten to cut down the trees and use the lands for some profitable cultivation." Mr. CLARENE PRENTICE, who was well connected with thee Southern Army throughout the war, is now the local editor of the Louisville (Ky.) Journal. From the New Orleans True Detla [[Delta]]. Latest from Matamores. A Great Battle——Imperialists Victorious——Cortinas Barely Escapes——Gen. Brown's Demand for Confederate property——The Demand Complied With——News from Gen. Steele. By a friend recently from Brownsville we have obtained the following information: Gen Lopez (Imperialist) met Gen. Cortinas's force at a place between Camargo and Matamoras, when a battle ensued, the results of which was: Gen Cortinas barely escaped with his life, leaving all his forces at the hands of the enemy. The number killed and wounded is estimated at 300. Gen. Cortinas has returned to his mother's ranche, this side the Rio Grande, about 9 miles above Brownsville. He has not one follower left. Gen. Brown made a demand on Gen Mejia, the commanding at Matamoras, for all Confederate property in that place, among which was a battery of six pieces, with all its furniture, means of transportation, horses and mules, sometimes since sold by the Confederate General Slaughter for $40,000 in specie. The demand was referred to Emperor Maximilian, who directly ordered the demand to be compiled with. All the guns and everything belonging to the battery, to its minutest details, were delivered over this side of the river. Gen. Steele and three of his officers are very sick——down with the breakbone fever. There is a great deal of sickness among our troops. Scurvy is the prevailing disease. There are numerous cases of breakbone fever, and yellow fever is developing itself rapidly at Matamoros. From the Buffalo N.Y. Express. The Freedmen——Official Report from Alabama. General Howard, of the Freedmen's Bureau, has received several interesting reports from Assistant Commissioners in Louisiana and Alabama, showing the progress and conditions of affairs among the freedmen of these states. Among these reports is the following from Alabama: "BUREAU OF FREE LABOR, Montgomery, Ala, June 10, 1865 T.W. Conway, General Superintendent of Freedmen of Alabama and Louisiana: Sir: On last Sabbath, I wrote you in extenso, just before leaving for Union Springs, a small town, forty-five miles southeast of this place. I returned last evening, and will now give a brief report of this week. "At Union Springs is stationed the seventy-second Illinois volunteers, a small regiment of infantry, commanded by Lieut. Col. Stockton. About one hundred were here and thrown upon the handle of the government by him, some two weeks since. They walked in and brought only what they could carry. They might have found employment in that section, or been returned to this former plantations, if he had been determined and resolute in his course. "After this I received a communication from him, through Gen. Smith asking for instructions, which I immediately answered, but he failed to receive. He sent his adjutant then and requested an agent to settle matters. I went in person as soon as the business of this office would allow my leaving. "On my arrival, I found a disquieted and restless spirt among the colored people, which resulted among the from the fact that the planters has generally refused to enter into contracts with their hands, consequently the negroes did not know for when they were working, or for what wages. They had nothing to gain by working and was very natural that they should be idle. "The planters had circulated a report that President Johnson had revoked the Emancipation Proclamation, that their slaves were not free, and they must do as they had always done. The result of all this was much abuse and ill treatment. I at once has a meeting of the planters on Wednesday, which was largely attended, crowding the church, many coming fifteen and twenty miles. I told them plainly of our system, that I was in duty bound to carry out regulations, and that I had come among them for that purpose. I gave them full information of the modus operandi, answered their questions and adjourned. "They went home and contracts, and in threedays' time, the change was very apparent, I remained until order was restored in the neighborhood, but felt the urgent demand for an agency there for a short time. This seemed necessary: First. From the abusive treatment given to some of the colored people by desperate, cruel men, who live at a distance from any military post. There should be some one nearer than this city to look after the guilty parties. Second. The vast number of contracts to be made and examined demands an agency. "I therefore took the liberty to open an office there for a short time only, and as I could not secure the services of a commissioned officer, I left a trusty sergeant in charge. I apprehended no trouble from that quarter. While I do not think it best to multiply agencies, if I can possibly be avoided, yet I do think that many places in the state should be visited, and the planters addressed, many of whom are very ignorant of our system, and no question is of such absorbing interest to them. Many of them want advice, and will carry out any instruction given them. "Some are wilfully [[willfully]] ugly and never like to hear the words of authority, I seek to advise and instruct the colored people whenever I can, and they receive my word as law and show a willingness to abide by them. You can judge of our business when I state that one hundred contracts per day are brought into this office, Added to this are complaints to be investigated and helpless to be provided for, countless questions to be answered and demands upon one's energy and that in a thousand different ways. I have been unable to get, as yet, a single commissioned officer detailed and assigned to duty in this department. Yet, I have applied twice, and third time in person. Gen. Smith has cheerfully promised help, out it is very difficult to get. "Many of the officers wish to go home, many of the regiments are short of officers, Capt. Campbell has been relieved and a lieutenant is now in charge of the camp. Capt. Brown has given me every assistance and acted in my place while absent. I do not write tis in a comp! doing spirit, but if we do not do all you wish, if we do not all do we most earnestly desire to accomplish, it is because we have not sufficient help. We have nearly finished giving out city passes, and hereafter one clerk can attend to that department. If it had been required to make contracts in duplicate it would have saved us much work in registration. "On the whole, our system is working well. Order is being restored. The colored people are showing a patience and industry which will make them, in spite of falsehood. They act worthy of freedom. Their patient industry should make them proprietors of the soil. I urge confiscation, I favor the amendment to the amnesty proclamation. Let ten thousand dollars be the limit of exception. That is right. Hoping to hear from you soon; by letter, I have the honor to be your obedient servant, C.W. BUCKLEY, Assistant Commissioner, &c." BATON ROUGE ITEMS.——The Gazette, of the 25th, has the following: Hot Weather.——For the past four or five days the has prevailed more intensely than at any previous period of the summer. The mercury has ranged among the nineties and is indisposed to lower its standard, and we don't blame it for getting out of reach of the "heated term" as soon as possible. 94 degrees in the shade, is what he have seen it at several times of late. We learn that two colored soldiers white at tending the funeral of a comrade, some three days since, at this place, were sunstruck. This is a circumstance of very rare occurrence among the black race. Overlooking the Gazette of the 27th, we mark the subjoined: The First Cotton.——The first full-blown cotton boll we have seen this season was brought to us on Tuesday by an old colored friend, Ben Morgan, who is cultivating a portion of what is known as the "Denham Tract," a few miles east of town. Ben is one of the old-time freedmen who has always sustained excellent character in our community. By enterprising his habits, he has succeeded, under difficulties, in building up a competence for himself, his family, worth of example to his brother freedmen. PARDON.——Among the applications for pardon received since yesterday, are those of Governor Letcher, of Virginia, J.D. Debow, of Debow's Review, the Spottswood brothers, of Richmond, and Harry Gilmor, the rebel raider and robber, now under indictment at Baltimore for treason. Among the persons pardoned to-day are H.M. Stannard, member of the rebel Congress from Virginia, John P. Ballard, owner of the Ballard House at Richmond, recently seized under the confiscation act. Ballard has been here in per-son to attend to his case. Also, C. Ruffin, Jr., son of the old Secessionist who recently blew his brain out and Dr. J.J.
