JMPORTANT: NOTICE TO COTTON OWN BBS. :
OmoE«f PuaonAßtNo Amnt, I
Savanraji, Ga., May 22,18i». r
The attention of dottou owners is called to the fol
lowing extracts from the “ Amended Regulations for •
the purchase of products of the Insurrectionary States
on Government Account," issued from the Treasury
Department of date May 9th, XS66, and approved by
the President of the same date.
"I. Agents shall be appointed by the Secretary of
the Treasury, with the approval of the President, to
purchase for the United State*, under special lustruo
tlons from the Secretary of thcTreasuiy, products of "
the States declared - to 'be tn Insurrection at Buck places
as may from time to time be designated by the Secrw
' ary of the Treasury as markets or planes o' purchase
, UI. The operations of Purchasing Agents shall be
confined to the single article of Gotten i and they
shall give public notice at the place to which they
‘ ball 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 6th section of
the Act of July 2, 1964, the Ag-nts shall secure all
cotton so brought, and forthwith return to tbs seller
thre»4onrUis 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 One 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 quau-,
tlty sold, and containing a certificate that It is exempt
from taxes and.fees. as above.
• « •■•••••#««
IX, All Agents are prohibited from purchasing any
product of an Insurrectionary Mate, which shall have
been captured by the m litary or naval forces of the
United States, or which shall have been abandoned 1
by the lawfnl owner thereof.
X. “These regulations, which are Intended to revoke
and annul all others on the subject heretofore made,
will take effect and be In torce on and after May lOtln
1865."
The Undersigned has been appointed Purchasing
Agent at Savannah, and hereby gives notice that be is
prepared to purchase, in accordance with the regula
tlons, of winch the above paragraphs are extracts, all
Cotton not captured or abandoned, which may be
brought to him.
The war is virtually closed, and to the eHd that the
people may, to as full an extent as possible, commence
to reap the benefits of a state Os peace, it is desiraqle
that the old and regular channels of trade he re-estab
ed, new ones opened, and the occupations of the peo
ple, both in city and country, be resumed. It is ex
pected thatthe purchase, bff the Treasury Department,
in good faith ol the cotton ib the country now in the
hands of its owners, returning therefor a fair and hon
cst equivalent, will largely tend to bring about a state
of things so much to be desired by all.
Igltestrictions upon trade are now virtually abolished,
and citizens may, with a few unimportant exceptions,
now purchase and 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 s.
normal and healthy condition of trade will not be
wanting. Cotton owners may rest assured that it is
now perfectly safe iso far at least us any Interference
