The sacred institutiou of Marriage lies al the very foundation of all civil society- It should be carefully guarded Dy all the ageuls of this Bureau. It is hoped these rules may do something to correct a monster evil which meets us at the very threshold of our work. As far as possible they will be rigidly en forced. By order of Bv’t Maj Gen. R. Saxton, Assistant Commissioner. Stuabt M. Tatlor, Assistant Adjutant General. • Official, 8. W. Saxton, Bv’t Maj and A. P. C. HEADQ’RS, ASS’. COMMISSIONER. Bureau Refugees, Freedmen and) Abandoned Lands, > South Carolina Georgia and Florida, ) Beaufort, S. C., Aug. 16, 1865. 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. R. Saxton, Bt. Maj. Gen., Asst. Commissioner. [OFFICIAL J S. W. Saxton, Bt. Maj. and A. D. C. 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.

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.
