A Northern Teacher in Georgia: When I last wrote we had just opened a school at Savannah (Georgia). There were already several schools opened there and (Colonel) Sickles was administering the attairs of the [Ereedmens] Bureau in a most admirable manner, so it did not seem right to tarry in that charming city, though we could have found enough important work to fil every moment Wishing to work where there was the most need (there being so many places where nothing has been done for the Freedmen, and where they are sorely persecuted), we came here /Columbus, Georgia), where a school house, built by the soldiers, had just been destroyed by the citizens and the feeling is intensely bitter against anything Northern. The affairs of the (Freedmenis Bureau have been (very much] mismanaged here; and our (government has been disgraced by the Union] troops who were stationed here. Now the troops are withdrawn, and the people are (annoyed] at the presence of the Bureau and "a few pious and enthusiastic N.E. school marms [northeastern school teachers]:" "both must be cleared out of the place," says the daily press [newspapers]. We have never seen any discourtesy in any of the citizens, but we know that we are gener. ally discussed in circles; and many plans are proposed for "getting rid" of us.-We have glorious schools...

And I am so satisfied with the work here that nothing in the world could make me wish to be in another place, or doing anything else. In my own day school and night school, I have 140 pupils, who have made truly wonderful progress, in the five weeks I have been teaching.
