In compliance with Cir No 6 dated January 29, 1866 reports the whites are bitter toward the blacks. Under the new Military bill the whites express themselves as being the most degraded people on earth, -ie- Congress has made them so. Freedmen are rejoicing over the New Liberty they possess Whites are more guarded in their expressions in the presence of the blacks. Each race mistrust and hate each other while they play the agreeable.
