The following in the report of the Assistant Oommieeloner of the Freetlmen's Bureau for . North Carolina for the quarter ending December 31, 185: Bokrau of Rkfugeem. Frekdhen. and Ahaw domed IiAnds, lleatlquarters AssiMtnt Commit turner, state of JSortn varo'ma, Kuleigh, N. C January 15, 1800. Maor-General O. 0. Howard, Oomminioner - General: I have the honor to tranamit herewith raj report of the various operations oi tbis Bureau tor the quarter end ing December 31, 18G.". The figures and facts rpeak so plainly lor themselves, that I need add out very lew remarKs. Detective as our oreanl tatlon is in some respects, atlccfpd by its de pendence upon, and subjection to. nthpr Branches ol the War Department, yet having got established, and its machinery put in motion, it is aoing its wont wna vigor ana success. Many ruugi-s biiiuuk mj puuuniiuaie ouicers nave been caused by the muster-out of the regiments, but the los.je sustained have been partially compensated by details from the Veteran Re serve Corps, My cttoHs to fecure the sorvices of citizens as agents of the Bureau has not met with success. Immediately after your visit here in October.I addressed a note to each member of the Consti tutional Convention, reriueatitiiz him to give me the nume of some suitable persons in bis own county.to be appointed to this ofllce. But though so many promised to you their happy co-operation in organising this agencv, not one replied to my request. 1 nave, however, by othermfans iouud a tew who were willing to accept the posi tion, and some ot them have done good service. Others have proved untit lor tbe dunes required, not being able to comprehend that a negro can be a tree man, or can have any rising which a whi:e man is bound to respect My experience so far i; against tbe apiRiintment of any ocher thun military otticrrs. Even these, after Item" muBtpredwt, are not as efficient as when iu the military service. They (nil to command respect. They no not inspire the freedmeu with confi dence. As the year has drawn to a close, all the offi cers of the bureau have been busy settling up claims tor labor during the past season. The old story has been repeated thousands of times: no detinite bargain inude no wages promised, but "ninssii said stav till the crop is rnaile, and he would do what was rinht." On that point, "what is right," arises the dispute. But when the parties can be brought together, and all the facts heard, it is :n niot cases easy to make a Rati, luctory decision. Captain Evans reported that as many as one hundred and fiftv claims and difficulties of this kind were brought before him in Warren county at the close of the year. Ho long as these claims and questions of wages were unsettled, it was natural that the frecdmcn should refuse to enter into anv new contrasts for another year. They wonted a little expe rience to give them faith. And it gives me great pleasure to state that in a largo majority of cases a fair settlement haa been effected. I have put the question to ofliecrs in all parts of the State, "how laige a proportion of the whi e people are willing to treat the negroes with fairness?" The answer is, "from three lourths to lour-fifths." The other fourth or fifth would oppress them and defraud them, if per mitted; perhaps a larger proportion micht sho v a disposition to do this, were it not for the re s'rainiug preseuoe of a military force. One sil ting a lew days in one ot our ollices, and listening to compla'nts from morning till night, might suppose that tbe whole laboriug popula tion was unsettled. But such is not the case. The great mass have made their bargains lor the coming year, and trains are seen moving from the Iowds to the farming districts. So generally have the frcednien sought employment, and ob tained it, that the demand for laborers cannot be cusily supplied. It m some instances they leave their employers, it is no more than we should expect, and often it will not be difficult to discover a good reason. Bv an arrange ment wi'h-L. P. Olds & Co., Land Agents, I have an intelligence office in nearly eveiy county. The expectation that lands would bo granted by Government, a hope first kindled by Rebel politicians in their ellorts "to tiro the Southern heart," and alterwards increased bv the Confis cation act, has now parsed uwa.y. AH officers of this Bureau discountenanced siich hopes bv pub lic addresses and circulars widely scattered; but so fixed had they become before the war closed, that it was not easy to eradicate them. When, however, Christmas actually passed, and the year ended without any gifts of the kind, it was admitted that wo had told them the truth, and that they hud been deceived by the talk of their former masters. So, alio, on the other hand, have the idle and conscience begotten fears of insurrection passed away. The holidays have gone by, and no outbreaks have oc.-nrred. All admit that a more quiet and orderlv Christmas has never been enjoyed in this region. The history of the world "may be challenged for another instance ot Fuch good conduct in similar circumstances as the ireedmcn have thus far maintained. During the quarter thirty-seven cases of vio lent assault, upon freedmen, or other criminal acts, have been reported to the military autho rities for trial, or such action as might be deemed proper. Ot these thirty-seven cases the only ones brought to trial, so far as the Bureau has Inlormation, are those of "Isaac and Wiley, freedmen' of the town of Salisbury, Rowan county," on the charge of "larcenvof which they were found "not guilty," and discharged. (Several caes reported during the previous quarter have ben tried, and among them are: 1. Emanuel Baxter (colored), "assault, with intent to commit rape;" not guilty. 2. John W. Gorman (white), "assault and battery;" guilfy; tlued $50, and imprisoned thirty days; tine remitted by reviewing officer. 3. Stephen C. Lee (white), "murder;" found suilty and sentenced to be hune; sentence re mitted by reviewing officer on the ground that malice was not proved. 4. Joseph Corpening (white), "assault, with intent to kill;" found guilty ot "shootine, with intent to maim;" sentence, $500 flue, and ninety days' imprisonment. 6. George A. Pitts, J. A. Propst. William Ulst ler, Alfred Sitaker, Thomas Williford, Gibson Kline, and D wight Russell (white), "riot and assault and battery;" Pitts, Propst, Ristler, Sit aker, and Williford found guiltv, fined, and im prisoned; Kline and Russell acquitted. 6. Shock (colored), "rape on colored girl;" nndinsr, guilty; sentenced to be hung; sentence mitigated to one year's hard labor. 7. Monroe Davis (white), "riot and assault and battery;" guilty, and imprisoned lour months. 8. Privates Bloom, Shannon, and Lewis. 12'jth Indiana Volunteers, "asault upon freedmen," etc.; guilty, and sentenced to less of six months' pay. 0. Henry Brown (colored), "theft;" guilty, and imprisoned two months. 10. Guion fcarp (white), "maltreatment of lrcedmen, and assault and battery:" guilty, sen tenced to hard labor on public works two years. Some of the cases reported during the last quarter are as follows: 1. Willis P. Moore, charged with the murder of a colored man. 2. Reddick Kearney and others, Pitt county, riot and murder of two lreednien. 3. .Magistrates of Brunswick county sentenced two colored men to be sold into servitude for live years. Thi case was acted upon promptly by General Crook, and the freedmen released. Contrary to my fears, as expressed in a former report, there is no increase of dependants as wiuter advances. The rations issued have bteadily diminished. Tbe demands (or clothing have been jnvat; but the supplies now on hand from the Quarter master's Department are urn pie tor men and boys. It, is more difficult to furnish what is needed by women and children. There are manv cases of vreat destitution among whites, which I should be glad to relieve: but as they are not "ioval refueces," they do not come within my iurisdiction. While there has been a decrease of depend ants, there has been a gratiiying increase of School, finrl tl rmmlu titunHiTi.. ttw.m a i will t - " ,'V"J UfllU l IIIq .UVIU, 11 3 niJ II'' seen in tiie admirably prepared report of Mr, F, J THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH.

In tome instances planters have esta blished schools for their employes, an a means of promoting good order and contentment. H isfalsoTcry gratifying to see a few churches organizing Sabbath schools for colored children.

By means of the apprenticeship system com fortable homes have been provided for a larue number of orphans and other destitute children. The lA'stcm i popular, but I am very suspicious of it.

The Ayr Advertiser, a Scotch journal, gives the following account of his life: 4lHf TCrift hnrn of TTovaI Konlr 4 v.rt e Dunlop, Scotland, on the 18th of October, 1798. He was the second son of the late Mr. Alexander Wyllie, ot Ilazelbank, and Janet Crighton, of Cutstraw, Stewarton. Those who knew him in boyhood can well remember that lrom his ear liest years he gave every indication of being pos sessed of talent above mediocritv. He received his medical diploma before he was twenty years of age. He soon left us surgeon in a vessel bound for Ihe North Seas, and endured hardships and braved dangers like a true Scotchman. He was thrice shipwrecked, and returned to Liverpool, but not to home, having left with the firm resolution to do so only alter he had earned a fame worthy of his name. Through the instrumentality of his late teacher, Dr. Barr, who was then in Liverpool, he re-erabarKed in a vessel bound for South America, J here he for a short time practisea as a surgeon, but soon turned his attention to mercantile atlairs. After a sojourn ot fourteen years there, ne revisited his native land, and, as one of the first fruits of his success, built a mansion-houe for his parents on the lunds of Hazelbank. lie then, leelmg time hanging heavily on his bands, left lor London, and was soon after eneaged in mercantile transactions. But, acting on the idea which seemed to have actuated him. he went to the Sandwich islands, where, for the nij twtntv jeare, he occupied an important field of usefulness, with great benefit to the natives there and much honor to himself. He is succeeded in his Hawaian estates by his nephew, Robert Cricbton, also a native of Dunlop." John Bright on the Chilian Blockade. The following note from John Bright appears in the London papers: "Rociipale, December 23, 18G5. Dear Sir: Lord Clarendon is. I think, sanguine that the Spain and Chili business will soon be settled. "This Govt rnnient, in conjunction with the French Governmeut.has proposed to use its good ollices in the dispute. The proposal was met m a conciliatory spirit at Madrid. The terms are considered equally honcrablo to the contending parties, nud were aeieed to (at Madrid) without hesitation. Thev have been scut out bv the last mail to Chili, and, if thev are received there in a proper spirit, there will be an end of the quarrel. ''1 hope, therefore, the disturbance to your tiade will soon bo removed. A formal reply to your memorial has, 1 think, been forwarded to you, but I thought you would lite to know what Lord Clarendon has written to me on the sub ject. Yours, very trulv, JonN Bright.
