Numerous applications have been made
Jo me lor information as to tho policy to
fie adopted on the luhjoet of slavo labor.
Al. can understand the importaTiee of
making a crop life present season, und all
ioreseo the misery and sufl'ering conse
quent upon its failure.
In the present unsettled state of tho
Country, and in loe absence of any recog-
niz.-J Mute authorities, 1 find it my duty
to assume control of the plantations noaV
Hie nulitary lines, un-i order as follows:
J he planters, al'tor taking the oath or
allegiance, whl assomblo the freodinen
Woly their slaves', and inform thorn that
uoy are :roe, and that ktnc.i nth thbv
must depend upon tbeirown a-ej,.,
a support.
Kuuitablo conlracU in writing will be
made'by the owners of tbo land with Ibiv-.
freodmen for tbe cultivation of the la*,! S
during the present year. . ‘
Payueut will bo made in kind, and the
allowance of ouo-half tbo crop la recant-
men .led affair comueoiatioa for tbe labor,
tbe landlord furnishing aubslatanca uwlli
tho crop is gathered.
Thu contracts will bo submitted to tho
card military or naval commandor for
■up revel.
When tbo above requirements are coat-
led with, protection will be granted aa
“ aa. military necea.ity will allow; but
ere no contract is made,' the crop will. .
bo considered forfeited for tbe uso of taMT-^ 1
sorei s. Should thb owner, raftnh lit
Itivato it, they will be considered a.
embarrassing tho Government, and Hit-
land will be used for colunlus ol freed men
from the interior.
