Circular, >
No. 2. |
To the Freedmen of South Carolina, Geor
gia and Florida:
In entering upon that, portion of my duty
which relates to your welfare, 1 deem it pro
per to address to you a few words of coun
sel. By an Emancipation Proclamation of
President Lincoln, the laws of Congress and
the will of God you have been declar
ed “forever free.” At the outstt of your
new career it is important' that you
should understand some of the duties and
responsibilities of freemen. Your first duty is
to go work to at whatever honest labor your
hands can find to do, and provide food,
clothing and shelter for your tamilies. Bear
in mind that a man who will not work should
not be allowed to eat. Labor is ennobling
to the character, aud if rightly directed,
brings to the laborer all (he comforts and
luxuries of life. The only argument left to
those who would keep you in slavery is,
that in freedom yon will not work ; that the
lash is necessary to drive you to the cotton
and rice fields: that these fair lands which
you have cultivated so many years in slavery,
will now be left desolate. On the Sea Islands
of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida,
where your brethren have been free for
three years, they have nobly shown how
much better they can work in treetfom.
Over forty thousand are now engaged in
cultivating the soil, their children are being
educated, sad they are aelf-suatoining, hap
py and free- Some are working for wages,
others are cultivating the land on shares,
giving one-half to the owner.
The Agents of the Freedmen s Bureau will
aid you in making contracts to work for fair
wages for your tanner masters or others who
may desire to hire you, or will locate yon on
small farms of forty acres, which you can
hire at a& easy tent, with an opportunity to
purchase at low rates any time within three
wara. These are splendid opportunities.
Freedmen, let not a day pass ere you find
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1865.
some work for your hands to do, and do it
with all vo'ur might. Plough and
plant, dig and hoe, cut and gather in the
•harvest. Let it he seen that where in slavery
there was raised a blade of corn or a pound
of cotton, in freedom there will be two Be
peaceful and houest. Falsehood and theft
should not be found jo freedom ; they are
the vices of slavery.’ "Keep in good faith all
your contracts and agreements, remember
ing always that you are a slave uo longer.—
While guarding carefully your own rights,
be as careful not to violate your neighbor's.
“Do unto others as you would they should
do unto you.”
In cases where you feel that you have been
wronged, it is neither wise nor expedient to
take redress into your own hands, but leave
the matter to be settled by three impartial
friends, of both parties. In cases ot diffi
culty between white men and yourselves,
you should appeal to one ot the agents of
this Bureau in your vicinity, who may ap
point one referee, the other party one, and
you should appoint a third, and the decision
of the majority should be considered final.
By this eas y mode of settling difficulties
much trouble may be avoided
In slavery, you only thought of to-dav.
Having nothing to hope for beyond the
present, you did not think of the future,
but, like the ox and horse, thought only of
the food and work for the day. In freedom
you must have an eye to the future, and
have a plan and object in life. Decide now
what you are to do next year—where you
are to plant in the spring, and how much—
and in the autumn and winter prepare your
land and manure for the early spring plant
ing. After being sure that you have plaut
ed sufficient corn and potatoes for food, then
put in ali the cotton and rice you can, for
these are the crops which will pay the best.
Bear in mind that cotton is a regal plant,
and the more carefully it is cultivated, the
greater will be the crop. Let the world see
ere long the fields of South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida white with this important sta
ple cultivated by free labor.
Iu slavery the domestic relations of man
and wife were generally disregarded. Vir
tue, purity and honor among men and wo
men were not required or expected. All
this must change now that you are free. The
domestic altar must be held sacred, and with
jealous care must you guard the purity of a
wife, a sister, or a daughter ; and the be
trayer of their honor should be punished,
and held up to universal condemnation.
You ere advised to study, iu church and out
of it, the rules of the marriage relation issned
from these Headquarters, Colored men and
women, prove by your future lives that you
can be virtuous and pure.
No people can be truly great or free with
out education. Upon the education of your
children depends in a great degree the mens
ure of your success as a people. Send vour
children to school whenever you can. Deny
yourselves even ihe necessaries of life to
keep your boys and girls at school,and never
allow them to be absent a day or an hour
while it is in session.
Your liberty is a great blessing which has
been vouchsafed to you, and you should be
patient and hopeful. The Dation, through
this Burenu, has taken your cause in hand,
and will endeavor to do you ample justice.
If you do not obtain all your rights this year,
be content with part, and if you act rightly,
all will come in good time. Try to show by
your good conduct, that you aie worthy of
all, and whatever may happen, let uo uneasy
spirit Stir you up to any act of rebellion
against the Government. Strive to live down
by your true and loyal conduct the wicked
lie and weak invention of your enemies, that
in any event you would rebel against that
Government and people which have sacri
fied so many precious lives and so much
treasure iu your cause. Could you rise even
against those who oppress you, or against a
Government which has given you a right to
yourselves, your wives and children, and
taken from you the overseer, the slave tra
der, the auction block, and broken the dri
ver’s whip forever ? I have no fears on this
point, and trust you to show those who have,
how groundless they are, and that you are
willing to leave your cause iu the hands of
the Government. Ever cherish in your hearts
the prayerful spirit, the trusting, childlike
faith in God's good providence, which has
sustained so many ot you in your darkest
hour.
The Assistant Commissioners and Agents
of this Bureau will publish this Circular to
the freedmen throughout these States, aud
ministers of the Gospel arc requested to have
it read in all the churches where the freed
men are assembled.

From Alabama. — At Mobile many of the
buildings that were damaged by the explo
sion on the 25tb of May last, are being le-
E sired. The roofs of store-bouses on St.
ouis, Water and Commerce streets are al
ready in order" and some of the cotton ware
houses have had the walls and partitions re
built. There is also a gaug continually at
work cleaning the brick of the ruins—the
filled-up streets by the debris, are opening
to free passage—and before long that part of
the city will assume its wonted activity. On
the Bth inst. Mr. Wm. H. Weed, an old citi
zen, and a youth named Miller, were dread
fully mangled by the explosion of a shell
near the ruin 9 of Marshall’s warehouse.
They were trying to take out a fuse from a
shell, a large quantity of which are lying
loose all around there, when it exploded.
Mr. T. C. A. Dexter, Special Treasury
Agent at Mobile, to correct a general misap
prehension on the subject, gives official no
tiee that the Government has not abandoned
the desigh of collecting any and all cotton
belonging to it; but the agents will not be
lowed to interfere with strictly private rights
of ownership. All agent 9 acting previous to
the sth inst., are recalled, and an official list
of the bonded agents will soon be published.
ScICIDB OF A PoLTGAMIST—TItN WoUBN
Wiodowed.— The Cedar Falls Gazette gives
an account of the arrest, examinatien, and
conviction of a life insurance agent, named
Frank N. Case, from Wisconsin, on a charge
of bigamy. It was ascertained that the
scamp had no less than ten different wives,
all of whom are living. Five of these mar
riages occurred in the East, and the rest in
varions part of the West. His last victim
was a respectable lady in Cedar Falls whom
lie married clandestinely, in opposition to the
wishes of her parents, last April. He has
lately been courting another lady in that vi
cinity, whom he intended to marry shortly.
On Friday morning Case hanged himself in
bis cell at the jail in Cedar Falls.— Chicago

Faoji the Mexican Fhontiee. —A private
letter from a Matamoras mercantile firm,
dated July 2G, says :
There is no safety on the frontier for life

and this morning we hear of the murder of
the greater portion of two parties who left
overland last week, including Colonels Smith

There is no communication with Monterey.
There la no malls established yet between
