A Month among the Freedmen and their [Correspondence of the Phila. Evening Bulletin.] ST. HELENA, S. C., June.—Leaving Beau fort we crossed to Lady's. Island in a row boat, having sent a very rickety buggy, the best to be bad at any price, before, in a scow. Lady's Island and St. Helena are divided by a very narrow channel, whichis spanned by a bridge. St. Helena is called the Freedman's paradise. It belongs, al most without exception, to the negroes, or is farmed by them as school farms. They have been able to develop here with less, repression from white neighbors. However, they have but just - emerged out of great trials and sufferings. When General Hunter evacuated Edisto because troops could not be spared to gar rison the Wand; the negroes fled in panto leaving their crops standing, the corn hair' , grown, and in their cabins, whatever little worldly goods they were possessed of, jus as their masters bad done before them. Nurnberg of these came to St. Helena in ab ject poverty; many perished of want and , despair before arrangements could be made to procure government rations, and many more died of diseases which broke oat among them consequent upon starvation. The ef fect of this sudden dispossession was very depressing to the inhabitants of St. Helena, who had bought and paid for their lands. Hardly bad they reacted when they were overwhelmed by an inundation of Sher man's refugees. When Gen. Sherman en tered Savannah with his immense train of negro followers the difficulty, of procuring food was so great that it became necessary to issue an order to carry the refugees to the Islands and ration them there till other pro vision could be made. Hundreds of wretched, foot-sore wanderers, men, women and chil dren, were landed and left to shift as they could, without shelter or any sufficient food. The imagination shrinks from depicting the sad scenes which followed. A good wo man, one of our teachers who dismissed her school for a time and devoted herself to the work of nursing, says, "We did all that we could, working day and night, but the sick died too fast for the well to bury them. When the ration list was made out and sent to the Commissary, he asked. 'Why do you not draw for children?' and the reply was, •The children are all dead." But to more cheerful matters. After a drive of five miles, through beau tiful cultivated cotton field s t unexceptionably neat and well farmed, we approached a-pic turesque gothic school house—a New Eng land contrivance, pitched in a grove of live oaks. We heard sweet voices singing, and drawing nearer distinguished the words of a "Welcome" song. Although accidental, the greeting was We entered the school house, whilst there still rung out the chorus of '` Welcome, Welcome," and found over a hundred children gathered, just closing their school exercises. For our entertainment, they were detained to sing "Rally Round the Flag," which was done with very pretty effect of marohing and countermarching of a dozen or twenty boys with small flags, round a mahogany-colored goddess of liberty, who held a large Ame rican flag which partially enveloped her in its folds. Whilst I listened to the hearty shouting of the chorus from out a hundred throats, the often repeated quotation came to me, " Let me write the songs of a nation and I care not who write its laws." These people are receiving an education through their songs which is incalculable. Our teachers discourage the use of their old bar baric chants; and besides our beautiful, patriotic, and religions hymns, teach the virtues of industry, truth, honesty and purity in rhyme and measure. A ride of six miles through piny woods and swamp brought us to the home of Miss T., of Philadelphia. Miss T. was one of the pioneer teachers. First in the field aft-sr the occupation by our troops, she has for four years devoted herself with nnwearying energy to the work of teaching and civil izing these people. She now occupies the position of Superintendent of Schools on St. Helena under the Bureau and is principal of the largest school, moreover, a sort of patron saint of the island. To the poor and suffering she distributes food and clothing; to the sick she dispanses medicines or dresses wounds; in all disputes she is arbi trator, and in difficulties, advisor. Every morning before setting out to school she holds court amongst waiting clients to ad miniater justice.or. potions, advice or bacon, as needs be. Of much interesting informa tion respecting her work, its encourage ments and discouragements, I have noted the.follotrig. She is obliged constantly to protect the freedmen from the exactions of their old masters, who come to beg or borrow, and who unsettle the people with threats of cer tain returaof their property to the former owners-sc.-a of finding themselves again in their power. The flight from the main , she describes as a constantly recurring source of distress. Negroes irom the interior of the State or main shots desiring to come to •the Islands either to jo:'`.: V: - .f.4r families or to work for the Yankees; are often cruelly abused and sometimes killed. Where the masters have not the fear of the Buret.o before their eyes they holdon to tLaii chattels with grim grip. An instance wound. a short time since which is one of many like it. A negro who bad worked for his former owner for part of the crop, and at the end of the year had been given as his portion a bushel or two of corn, determined to take wife and child and carry his labor to market. When putting off from shore in his dug-out, his master ordered him to return, . He did not obey, whereupon the master shot, kill ing instantly the wife and infant at her breast, both of whom fell into the river dead. A second shot took effect in the poor wretch's shoulder, who bleeding and heart broken came to iss T. to have his wound dressed. It is hard torealize fully the utterly debasing influence of the spirit of slavery. The horrors of Andersonville are perhaps its truest exponent. I have listened to sto- ries here, from trustworthy lips, that I would not dare to write, lest propriety and humanity would cry shame, and yet these things are true, the record written in scars, which time has not blotted out. As hand some a piece of cursing as I have ever wit nessed, quite Byronic in its way; was done by a former chattel of the Rhett family—an old woman, an octogenarian, with snow white wool; skin black as Egygt's night, high features, fiery eye and carriage worthy of a queen oiEthiopia, altogether the most remarkable specimen of a handsome, pure African I . have ever seen. In her broken accents she told the story of how • her four teen children had been sold one by one,and how she had plead with tears and prayers Jel43trp• EINES & SHEAFF }MOH THE SOUTH. Schools. NO 111. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 15,1866. for the last, the child of her old • age, and been refused,; and how she was desolate. "Racbael mourning for her children and would not be comforted." She wound up an eloquent outburst of wailing and wrath with "God • know I not give, no! not one drop of water to save his soul alive." These contented and happy slaves had odd no tions sometimes. - - - - - - - We visited most of the schools on the island, ,beginning with that of Miss T. and her two accomplished assistants, the Misses M., ladies of English birth and education. This school is under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Branch of the Freedmen's Aid Commission, and it hi fur thest advanced of any sabcol we have yet visited. We listened. to very admirable recitations- in American history, English grammar and parsing, geography and men tal arithmetic in fractions. Also some ex amples in sitnple book-keeping and making out bills. The ignorance of figures and the value of currency was such a fruitful source of loss to the negro that the manage ment of money accounts became an.import ant part of their education. A very neatly written bill for so much grits, -rice, bread, molasses, so many hoes, and he like, with the faiimarket prices affixed, all footed up, and properly, reoeipted, waswritten, all out of her own little bead, by a girl about eight years old as I watched her nimble fingers. As we sat the morning hours listening to the buzz and drone of. studyand recitation with the thermometer at 95°, I felt a warm sympathy with the little heads bobbing and nodding here and there, snatching a nap be-' hind book or slate. The teachers have to wink at a good deal of napping, for mere humanity's sake. Asa rule the children are obliged to rise at "first fdwl crow," as they call the hour preceding dawn, hoe their task or quarter acre, cook their pot of honainy, and then walk to school five or six miles. Often and often, from want of time to eat, they carry with them their tin can of hom iny, and only break their fast at their noon recess. My pen cannot pretend to do jus tice to the intense thirst for education among old and young here. Miss T. tells of those living in remote parts of the island, where there are no schools, coming to her again and again, and pleading, with tears, for teachers. "If we no know how to read, missus, we no better den when we slaves." We need ten schools where we have one—a thousand dol- Lars where we have ten ; and yet the field. would not be covered. There never was a missionary work of such promise thrust upon a Christian people. A laarbarous race living in our midstawakeneti to a conscious= nese of their degradation, and crying out to us for help. What is China or India to thia2 I wish that some of our good people, who tarry in their pockets "the sinews of war," could have been with me at a night school, taught on the island by , -two Philadelphia ladies. Ranged round two long tables„in adjoining rooms, sat from sixty to seventy . men and women—men with grizzled head and beard, women with babies clinging to their breasts, or rolled up in wonderful bundles and placed on the bench beside them.. Soldiers wearing the U.S.nniforna, and a sprinkling of boys and girls who could not be spared from the field in day-, time; all gathered in after a day of toil. The rays from two kerosene lamps fell upon this group, the light so absorbed by the black laces that it threw the picture into deep shadow. To one "who loves his fellow man" there was something irrepressibly , sad in these depressed,deeply seamed coun tenances, the rags, the dirt, the degradation; in contrast with the anxious, eager eyes, as they bent themselves to the task before them. Weighed down with their dulled brains and weary bodies,they agonized to learn. • Whilst rowing to visit the school of Mrs. V., of Ohio, one of our colored oarsmen, a man of influence on the island, the right hand man of our Government agents, told us that a movement was on foot among the negroes to establish a police force of them selves, for the protection of property and the punishment of small offences. In former times the slave, of course, combined against the master to cover up and hide offenders. The schoolboy's code of honor against in formers prcvailed. Now that they are pro prietors, they find it to i their interest to be law-abiding and bring the lawless to pun ishment. Here is a step towa4s civiliza tion. On Sunday we drove six miles to the Bap tist Church, where the uppertendoms of the island worship. The great gala-day gather ing give us a very cheerful view of tne pro sperity of the people. The beautiful grove of oaks, in the midst of which the church stood, was alive with wagons and turnouts of all descriptions, and some that defy de scription. Groups of well-dressed men and women, with their families, great and small, around them, sat un der the tress, or, gathered round the windows of the meeting house; listening to the rising and falling cadente of the preach er's voice within, asit crested the wave or sunk into the trough of the sea. The chnrcli, filled to overflowing, would not hold half the would-be worshipers, who Seemed not unhappily - to improve the time hearing and telling the news, discussing the contents of their lunch baskets and holding'a sort of re ligious pic-nic. • - The very neat dressing, the air of comfort and even refinement among , these family groups, led 1310 to institute a comparison be tween -them and the peasantry of many European countries, not altogether unfavor able to these. • t One more word, of schools and I have done. Thattaughtby Miss H—, of Phila delphia, is excellently well managed. The greatest proficiency in writing we have yet seen was here. Indeed, we have reason to feel proud of those supported by the Penn sylvania Relief Association. Theirappoint ments were superior to any we have visited and the teachers beyond criticism. The Tax Commissioners on the Island recall Dr. Jobnson's leg of mutton—"lll-fed, ill killed, ill kept, ill cooked, ill served." Without sufficient books, without black boards, maps, and often without seats, the children seated on the floor, the governing principle seems to be to give the least possi ble education consistent with spending so much public money. In winding up this lame account of a very interesting four days on St. Helena, I only add that it is impossible to understand how much the negroes have been belied, with out seeing the well-farmed lields;the good order and the prosperity of this island.

Troops Ordered to Remain on the Niagara Frontier. CAUSE OF THE-- GREAT SCARE The Canadian Commander Challenged THE FENIAN RETROGRADE RESUMED. Malone Deserted and the Buffalo Fe nians Accepting Transporta tion Homeward. OGDENSBURG, Jnne 14. = [Special to the Herald.]—From one of Gen. Meade's staff, just arrived from Malone I learn that further trouble is anticipated at Buffalo. Gen. Meade was suddenly telegraphed for, and left via Albany for that point. Four companies of troops have been ordered from Malone to Buffalo. They will pass through here to-night. OTTAWA, C. W., June 14.—1 t is reported to the government that the Fenians are about to make another raid in the vicinity of Fort Erie. There is some uneasiness felt here. Facts are undoubtedly known which the authorities do not desire to divulge for the present. A despatch has been received announcing the capture of fourteen Fenians in Hamilton. They had despatches which will throw considerable light en the Fenian plans and movements. The military au thorities forbid the transmission of any des patches giving movements of troops or ves sels of war to the press. There is something important on the carpet. Brown's explanation of his cause of re tirement from the Ministry is looked for with much interest. It is expected to morrow. Large numbers of Fenians are reported assembling along the southwestern frontlet'. Monxitnan, June 14.—Government orders reached here this morning countermanding the return of the troops. The menacing at titude of the Fenians on the Niagra frontier coupled with the announcement of Roberts' new proclamation accounts for this latest action of the Ottawa government. TORONTO, C. W., June 14th.—The Cana dians think the Fenians are again on the war path. The fear is inspired by the fol lowing despatch just received here by the Evening. Telegraph from Stratford : "On parade to-day Lieutenant Colonel Gilmour ordered the Queen's Own to assemble for inspection at four o'clock P. M.; buthe told them if they heard the, bugle call mean while to fallin at once in marching order, adding that he could not say whether they would sleep in their beds to-night or on the battle-field. THE FENIANS. to a Pitched Battle. The following despatch from Buffalo was published in the extra this afternoon : The Fenians are concentrating fora grand movement on Canada. Some say that the blow will be struck tonight. Meetings have been held nightly; and the leaders are mov ing about the city in a suspicious manner, — The arsenal in this city is now guarded by militia. A home guard, in fact, is on duty, showing that the government expects some movements to-night. Sax Faaricisco, June 12.—Victoria (Van couver Island) despatches say that the Fe.. nian news from Canada created much-ex citement there. Two men-of-war and two gunboats had received orders to cruise off the b arbor. BUFFALO June 14.—The following dial lenge bas been transmitted to Col. Lowery by Adjutant General Murphy, from Briga dier General Burns. No answer has as yet been received : BUFFALO, June 14, 1866.—T0 Col. Lowery. Commanding' British Forces, Fort Erie—l notice in this morning's' Courier's editorial correspondence the, following paragraphs from his visit to Fort Erie, to wit: We conversed with an officer on duty who anxiously inquired whether there was no probable chance of having a fight with the Fenians. Above au things he desired to meet in a fair field, with bullets or • bayo nets, .an equal number of Fenians. If this opportunity could be offered he was willing to letrye the artillery out of the question.) , Now, sir, as the officer's name was not given, and desirous to accommodate the Queen's forces =with a fight, I respectfully address you on the subject. As commander of the Irish army in this city I accept the proffered challenge. and will fight either two or three thousand of your troops, as you may decide, with an equal number of men under my command. The engagement to be on the above conditions, to wit : A fair field, with bullets or bayonets, leaving the artillerx out of the question. Transporta tion will •be procured for my men -to cross the river, and arrangements can be miltually agreed on as to the locality of the ground and the stated time to commence the en gagement. Hoping this matter may receive your prompt consideration, and earnestly await ing your reply I am, Colonel, your most obedient serv't., M. W. Btraxs Brigadier-General, Commanding Irish Army, at Buffalo. S.--The bearer awaits your reply. Major. Dawson, chief of staff to Col. Low ery, promises an answer to the Fenian chal lenge to-morrow at 9 A. M. The . Major in formed the bearer of message that he was confident ,the matter could be arranged sat isfactorily to both parties to-morrow. The Feniana were under orders to leave for their homes this evening, but on learning that the British regulars were anxious for a fight volunteeted to wait and accommodate them if a fair opportunity was presented. Cols. Starr and Quick,.of Chicago leave with their . Meade is to-night. Gen. is expected to arrive here to-night. Brigadier General Burns has agreed to accept the following conditions from the government to transport the men to their homes:' The Fenians have agreed to accept the government transportation. Brig. General Burns will furnish General Barry with the names of the men. The men who accept the offer'of the government will sign the fol lowing conditions: We, the undersigned, belonging to the Fenian Brotherhood, being now assembled in Buffalo with intentions which have been decided by the United States authorities to be violations- of the neutrality laws of the United States, but being now desirous to return to our homes, do severally agree and promise to abandon our expedition against Great Britain, desist from any violation of the neutrality laws of the United States and return immediately to our respective homes. Mora - man, 14.—The action of the Lower House'of the American Congress in reference to the abrogation of the neutrality laws through Ancona's and Schenck's reso lutions is the occasion of a new and unex pected excitement all throngh the Canadas. The possibility and the probability of such repeal and modification.- are everywhere discussed with deep sensitiveness. The feeling here appearato be that the neutrality , laws will be suspended or at all events materially modified to Canadian prejudice. OGDEN SBURG, Junel4.—The Fenian camp at Malone is entirely broken up, and of the advance guard of the army of invasion, so lately concentrated there, and which at— tracted so much of the interest felt through out the country in the movement, not a solitary man will remain after to-day.'. The arrested leaders passed through here during the night, on the way for Canandaigua, to await trial there on the opening of the United States District Court, on the 10th inst. In view of the proximity of the'day of trial the Fenian officers declined to give bail,preferring to remain under surveillance here a little time than to scatter to their dif ferent homes. The following list of the names, residences and birth-places of the the prisoners is taken from the official re cord of the court at Malone: General M. C. Murphy, New York, Ireland; General J. J. Heffernan Albany, Albany; Colonen. T. O'Reilly, Heffernan, Franklin county,N.Y.; Lieutenant-Colonel Terence Q,uinn,Albany, Albany; Major John F. Connelly, Newark, N. J.

Shine, Newark, Ireland. During their detention at the depot they whiled away the time singing Irish patriotic airs and talking over their chances for re deeming Ireland when prepared to strike another blow in her behalf. The prisoners were guarded by two com panies of regulars under command of Major Silvey. This force will be quartered at Canandaigua during the forthcoming trial. BUFFALO, June 14-10 P. M.—Eighteen hundred Fenians accepted government transportation this evening, when it was learned that General Meade was expected to arrive and assume command personally of the department. The balance of the men, numbering over fourteen hundred, will leave for their homes to-morrow. The field officers are ordered to report at headquar ters in New York. General Burns feels confident of being able to take care of the British with the troops now in the city. CONGRESSIONAL IZENcOINTRE. Assault on Hon. Mr. Grinnell, of lowa, by - General Rousseau, of Kentucky. The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Times has the following : The assault of General Rousseau upon Mr. Grinnell, which took place this after; noon at the east front of the capitol, is the absorbing topic to-night. The account of the affair by the parties themselves and the eye witnesses agree in the main. From these several accounts it appears that after the House had adjourned, Mr. Grinnell was een passing out of the rotunda through the door leading to the east front of the Capitol, followed closely by General Rousseau. When Mr. Grinnell bad arrived near the steps leading to the ground, he was over taken by General Rousseau. who tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Grinnell, I have been waiting four days anxiously for an apology from you for the gross insult of last Mon day., on the floor of the House." Mr. Grin nell replied, "I have no apology to make, sir; I have nothing to say." Gen. Rousseau quickly answered, "I'll teach you, sir," and at once applied a rattan cane rapidly upon the shoulders and face of Mr. Grinnell, strik ing him once or twice upon the right and lett ahouldera, and then upon each side of the face, when the cane broke. Mr. Grinnell then grasped Gen. Rousseau by the arms, remarking as be did so, "I don't want to hurt you,sir." Rousseau, jerking away from Grinnell's grasp, replied: "Nor do I wish to hurt you, sir, but I want to disgrace you,sir." "Ali right, all right, sir " rejoined Grinnell, "you didn't hurt me much, Sir; all right," and stooping doyvii he picked up a piece of the cane, and starting off again, said, "All right, sir." The several witnesses gave some additional colloquy, but the parties themselves do not recollect anything further than what is above set forth, nor do the ad ditional statements of the witnesses alter the fats as we have given them. Whatever else was' added was mere prolongation of t 49 colloquy, or some words that might em phaeizethe remarks of the parties. It does not appear that any attempt watt made by the witnesses to interfere whilst the contestants were engaged in their pugilistic exercise, and the whole thing was of very brief duration. Cenral Rousseau has been out of his seat for the past two days, but just before the adjourn ment he was seated in the House by the side of a member to whom he made some allu sion to the insult he had received from Mr. Grinnell, butdid not evince any passion or excitement. Whether General Roitsseau had determined to attack Mr. Grinnell prior to the encounter does not appear from the statements of witnesses, but -Gen. Rousseau himself states that he- had been informed on Tuesday last that Mr. Grinnell had promised to apologize and was shan't to prepare a written retraction of what he had said in. debate on Monday last, and therefore he (Rousseau) waited until to-day and believing that sufficient 'time had elapsed for the coming of this proposed apology, he ap proached Mr. Grinnell. The latter is not seriously bruised, and there is but slight swelling on the cheek where the cane was applied. It is generally believed that Rous seau was under the influence of liquor at • the time of the assault. It is not known what steps, if any, will be taken by the House with regard to this assault.

DOUBLE SHEET, THREE CENTS Fight Between the Mexicap Liberals and French at Victoria--The French Troops Forced to Retire--Pro clamation of Escobedo Con gratulating His Soldiers on their Success--Fail ure of an Impeilalist • Expedition l &c.&c. • frorreslkondenee of tbe New York Renato BROWNSVILLE, Texas, June va 4th, 1866. Since forwarding y despatch of the lit, a. courier has arrived at the headquarters of the Liberals in' this city. His despatches show that the account of the defeat of the Liberals at Monterey, with the - captiire of Escobedo and other chieftains, was all a canard. In accordance with the plan- previously indicated, a column of French, under Gen. Joenningrcs, marched from Monterey and occupied Linares and Morelos. Another column, under Gen. Douai, marched from Saltillo to Galeano. - A third column, under Gen. Dupin, marched from Mateimata upon the rancho Pavlillo, about five leagues from . Victoria. The line of march of these different col umns was parallel, and was intended to af ford facilities for concentration and mutual protection. It seems that one of the main übjects was to defeat and disperse the army of General Espinosa at Victoria. General. Espinosa, under orders from General Ecco bedo, marched out of Victoria and gave battle to General Dupin. The action lasted half the day and till,night parted the com batants, each party ccupying their respec tive positions. During the night, Gen. Eipinosa beconar ing satisfied that General Dupin had been reinforced by General Douai, retired upon Victoria. He had checked General Dupin. and was' not molested on his march. Bat this is attributable, in a great degree, to the fact that General Escobedo had marched. upon Linares, and General Joenningros found himself compelled to abandon the place and retire with great rapidity upon Monterey. In this retreat the Imperialists lost a great many by desertion, and these deserters have taken service with the Liberals. The combinations of General Escobedo gave him the opportunity to fall upon the French at Linares with nearly his whole force, while Generals Diapin and Douai were not within supporting distance of General Joenningros. The retreat of General Joen laingros necessitated the retreat of Generals Douai and Dupin. The campaign of the French has resulted thts far in a failure. They committed many excesses and left no friends behind them. - In Linares, Morelos and Galeatto they imposed forced loans. In G lean the people assured them they could not pay the sum required. The French called for an . additional ten thousand dollars, which they called a fine. In the town of Teran they burnt several houses because some of the inhabitants were with the Liberals. They took prisoners the Alaade of San Pedro de Yturbide and his son; and the people had to pay three thousand dollars to ransom them. They drove off all the horses and the mules of the Mexicans wherever they went. At present General Escobedo occupies Li nares,Morelos and the same _points as be fore the movement of the French. ' As is usual on such occasions,Escobedo issued a proclamation to his troops. I send you the following hurried translation : • MARIANO ESCOBEDO, General of the Re publie and Chief of the Army Corps of the North, to the troops of his Command : Compasross IN ARMS—The enemy, after having prepared a great combination to fight our forces, and, as announced by his chief Douai, to annihilate us, several Franco traitor columns were set in motion on the march from Monterey, Saltillo and Matel mala. The proposed operations were nul lified in a few moments, as may be said; for they were compelled to return to their for mer position, and suffered greatly in their transit from desertions. There is scarcely a battalion constituting the First cavalry division but what has lost some soldiers through desertion. . This simple fact, lay ing aside their hurried countermarch,which can well be termed a flight, manifests how demoralized and tired of fighting are those who have adhered to "the Austrian," and how anxiously they await the time when they can return to their homes, very sorry, as they are,that they ever came to this:coun try to cement a throne which is in open op position to the conviction and will of the Mexican people. That constancy and valor which are al ways the distinctive characteristics of great souls have ever animated the heroes' of Paso de ins Cubes, Villa de Guadeloupe. Monterey, San Salvador and St. Isabel, and in many other combats in which the Libe ral arms were covered with glory. Soldiers ! the enemy has lost all hope of, triumph. For this reason you see him flee N whenever you approach. Despair has made its way in his midst, causing him to aban don his banners and seek yours. Forward, braves ! forward! the republic has a right to expect great things of you. yet. There are many forced marches to be made, battles to be fought, enemies to con quer, and injuries to avenge. Will you fall back now when the enemy has almost given up all hopes of conquest? The valor you possess, the isonstancy and decision of your chiefs, and the good sense and feeling of the people everywhere make us hope that you will not recede and that you will not desist until you see your country happy and free. Then you will have fulfilled your duty and history will record your actions, and the future generations will bless your names. ARIAZTO ESCOBEDO. LINARES, May 27, 1866.
