Mr. HENDERSON. I desire to Present a letter of James E. Yeatman, of StLouis, missouri, in reference to the poverty, destitution, and suffering of the southern people. It is a letter addressed to me, though it might properly have been put in the shape of a petition or memorial to Congress. Mr. Yeatman is a gentleman well known. He was in the southern States during a large part of the time that elapsed from the fall of Memphis to the close of the war, and is well acquainted with the subjects he writes about.
