Gen. may 23 | MPORTANT NOTICE TO COTTON OWNERS - Office of the U. S. Pcfouasing Agent, ) Savannah, Qa„ May 22, 1865. j The attention of cotton owners is called to the fol lowing extracts from the “ Amended Regulations tor the purchase es products of the insurrectionary States on Government Account," issued from the Treasury Department of date May 9th, 1865, and approved by the President of the same date. “1. Agents shall be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury, with the approval of the President, to purchase for the United States, under special instruc tions from the Secretary of the Treasury, products of the States declared to be in insurrection at such places as may from time to time be designated by tbe Secre tary of the Treasury as markets or places of purchase. »«*\«** • * « « » « 111. The operations of Purchasing Agents shall be coutined to the single article of Cotton; and they shall give public notice at the place to which they : hall be assigned, that they will purchase, in accord ance with these regulations, all cotton not captured or abandoned, which may be brought to them. IV. To meet the requirements of the Bth section of the Act of July 2, 1864, the Agents shall seenre all cotton so brought, and forthw th return to the seller three fourths thereof, which portion shall be an aver age grade of the whole, according to the certificate of a sworn sampler or expert. V. All cotton purchased and resold by purchasing Agents shall be exempt from all line and all internal taxes. And the Agent selling shall mark the same "FREE” and furnish to the purchaser a bill of sale duly and accurately describing the character and quan tity sold, and containing a certificate that it is exempt from taxes and fees as above. ««*««««« ««•« IX. Ail Agents are prohibited,from purchasing any product of an insurrectionary State, which shall have been captured by the mJitary or naval forces of the United States, or which shall have been abandoned by the lawful owner thereof. X. "These regulations, which are intended to revoke atnl annul ail others on the subject heretofore made, will take effect and be in force on and after May 10th, ISCS." The undersigned has been appointed Purchasing Agent at Savannah, and hereby gives notice that he is prepared to purchase, in accordance with the regula tions, of which the above paragraphs are extracts, all i.'otton not captured or abandoned, which may be brought to him. The war is virtually closed, and to the end that the people may, to as full an extent as possible, commence to reap the benefits of a state of peace, it is desiraqle that the old and regular channels of trade be re-estab ed. new ones opened, and the occupations of the peo ple, both in city and country, be resumed. It is ex pected that the purchase, by the Treasury Department, in good faith of the cotton ip the country now in the hands of its owners, returning therefor a fair and hon est equivalent, will largely tend to bring about a state of things so much to be desired by all. lltßestrictions upon trade are now virtually abolished, and citizens may, with a few unimportaut exceptions, now purchase anil take away whatever their necessi ties require, and I feel satisfied that the disposition to do all that may be done to bring about once more a normal and healthy condition of trade wifi not be wanting. Cotton owners may rest assured that it is now perfectly safe feo far at least as any interference on the part of the Government is concerned) for them to„brmg in and dispose of their cotton, The fullest protection will be guaranteed, upon its arrival in Sa vannah, and such oilier protection and safe conduct as the Agent may be able to obtain for cotton in transitu will be freely afforded It is hoped that before long enterprise will open up better and safer means of communication with, and transportation to, Savannah from the interior than now exists. In the meantime, and until that takes place, owners of Cotton at distant points desirous of marketing it at Savannah, will doubtless be able to uprise temporary expedients for accomplishing that T.
