South, die abaudoned rice fields along the rivers for thirty miles back from the sea, and die country bordering the St. Johns riv er. Florida, are reserved and set apart for the settlement of the negroes now rr.ade free by the acts of war and the Proclamation of the President of the United States. 11. At Beaufort, Hilton Head, Savan nah, Fernandina, St. Augustine, and Jacksonville, the blacks may remain in their chosen or accustomed vocations; but on the islands, and in the settle ments hereafter to be established, no white person whatever, unless military officers and soldiers detailed for duty, will be permitted to reside; and the sole and exclusive management of affairs will be left to the freed people themselves, subject only to the United States mili tary authority and the acts of Congress. By the laws of war, and orders of tho President of the United Slates, the negro :i : s and must be dealt with as such. He cannot be subjected to conscription or forced military service, save by the written orders of the highest military authority of the Department, under such regulations as 'the President or Congress may prescribe, domestic servants, black smiths, carpenters, or other mechanics will be free to select their own work and residence, but the young and a* ’c-bodied negroes must be encouraged \ > enlist as soldiers in the service of the United States, to contribute their share towards maintaining their own freedom and se curing their rights as citizens of the United States. Negroes so enlisted will be organized into companies, battalions and regiments under the orders of the United States military authorities, and willjbe paid, fed and clothed according to lawn The bounties paid on enlistment may, with the consent of the recruit, go to assist his family and settlement in procuring agricultural implements, seed, tools, boats, clothing and other articles accessary for their livelihood. 111. Whenever three respectable ne groes, heads of families, shall desire to .settle on land, and shall have selected for that purpose au island or a locality clearly defined, within the limits above designated, the Inspector of Settlements and Plantations will himself, or by such subordinate officer as he may appoint, give them a license to settle such island or district, and afford them such assist ance as he can to enable them to estab lish a peacable agricultural settlement. The three parties named will subdivide the land, under the supervision ot the Inspector, among themselves, and such others as may choose to settle near them, 3o that each family shall have a plot of not more than (40) forty acres of tillable ground, and when it borders on some water channel, with not more than eight hundred feet front, in the possession of which land the military authorities will afford them protection until such time as they can protect themselves, or until Congress shall regulate their title.. The Quartermaster may, on the requisition of the Inspector of Settlements and Planta tions, place at the disposal of the. Inspec for one or more of the captured steamers, to ply between the settlements aad one or more of the commercial points here tofore named in orders, to afford the set tlers the opportunity to supply their necessary wants and to sell the products of their land and labor. IV. Whenever a negro has enlisted in the military service of the United States, he may locate his family in any one of the settlements at pleasure, and acquire a homestead and all other rights and privileges of a settler as though present in person. In like manner negroes may settle their families and engage on board the gunboats, or in * fishing, or in the navigation of the inland waters, without losing any claim to land or other advan tages derived from this system. But no one, unless absent on Government ser vice, will be entiled to claim any right to land or property in any settlement,, by virtue of those orders. V. In order to carry out this system of settlement, a General Officer will be de tailed as Inspector of Settlements and Plantations, whose duty it shall be to visit the settlements, to regulate their police and general management, and who will furnish personally to each head of a family, subject to the approval of the President of the United States, a possessory title in writing, giving as near as possible the description of boundaries, and who shall adjust all claims or con flicts that may arise under the same, subject to the like approval, treating such tides altogether as possessory. The same General Officer will also be charged with the enlistment and organization of the negro recruits, and protecting their interests while so absent from their set tlements ; and will be governed by the Rules and Regulations prescribed by the War Department for such purpose. VI. Brigadier General R. Saxon is hereby appointed Inspector of Settle ments and plantations, and will at once enter on the performance of his duties. No change is intended or desired in the Settlement now on Beaufort Island, nor will any rights to property heretofore acquired be effected thereby. By order of * “ Maj. Gen. W. T. SHERMAN. L. M.
