More than a month having elapsed before I would receive definite instructions. The Christiansburg Division will be organized during the present week. The orphan children under the supervision of the Bureau, as fsr as I can learn, have been well cared for, and are receiving instruction, in the primary branches of education. The marriage contract in several cases has been violated and illicit co-habitation indulged in, by parties [[fold illegible]] cases were referred for the action of the civil authorities. In conclusion I would state that no armed military organizations exist throughout the several counties composing this Division. The demonstration made by the Newbern Pulaski County Freedmen, a few weeks since was simply a civic procession, without arms, noise, or confusion. I am General, very Respectfully Your Obt Servant C. S. Schaeffer Bvt Captain & A.S.A. Com.
