Tiio Fed iral commander in tho gulf depirt-
meui is enforcing what he snppoies to be hu-
ninnitarian principles in the use of negro la-
but in mu-It portions of the country as he
thinks ‘'Bubjagnted,” and it will be seen by
the regulat ions promulgated for tho govern
ment of employer and employed, to but little
purpose lor the benefit of tho latter. The
WHges provided for are but nominal, and these,
with the premium allowed for division from
extra crops, will not approximate in pecuniary
advantage to the value of privileges hereto
fore allowed deserving handBby every humane
master. And those who are acquainted with
the cupidity of tho genuine Yankee character,
oan easily imagine the various pretexts for en
forcing penalties and fines by which Sambo
and Dinah will be defrauded oat of even the
small pittance promised by the rules and regu
lations appended. The whole management is
scheme to put money in Yankee pockets, and
a miserable farou so far as it makes any pre
tense to benefit the negro.
A gentleman from Louisiana bands us tne
lollowing documents,developing the pianB of the
newly imported Yankee overseers. The first

On tho same sheet we find a circular from
the general superintendent, etc., to *,Dr. B
F. Smith,’’ who appears lo have charge of
some plantations; also a card from the “doo-
tor,” showing an anxiety lo engage largely
in the business. Hanks and Smith evidently
think they have discovered a sure road to
wealth, and are determined to pursue it vigo
ronsly. We give them the benefit of an ad
vertisement in onr columns : *
New Orleans,'La., March 9, 1863.
l)r. R- -F. Smith: .
Sir : By authority ol the General com
manding, 1 will visit the plantations under
your charge as frequently as possible. I will
take good care, so long as yon observe your
part of the ^contract, that the negroes shall
render faithful obed'ence and labor daring
the year. They will not bo allowed to leave
the place or hire to others.
If they violate their agreement, 1 will placo
them 011 government works, without pay, or
subject them to some otbet salutary pun'sh-
ment 1 highly approve the above rules,
and being personally familiar with > onr prac
tical success in working a large number of
band?, I am led to believe that yon will cer
tainly be able to maintain, or ler and secure
faithful labor, with but little interference of
the military authorities.
Be assured, however, that justice to the
blacks, as well as to the employer, will lead
m« to ubo strong measures to enforce labor,
as also to protect the laborers.
Very respectfully yours,
GEO. H. HANK8,
Lieut, and Gen. Supl. of Negro Labor.
The State Guard ]
The Governor vetoed the bill
insurrection, repel invasion, estal
Guard, abrogate the commissions
tia officers of this State, &c.
The following are represented
sons for so doing. We take fro
geneer of this city :
This bill was passed near th
Session, when there was a little
quorum present in. either branch
ral Assembly. It proposes, with
tions, to oompel all free white m
of Georgia, between 18 and 60 ;
do military duty,. It includes
tore of the gospel, Justices of
Courts, Sheriffs, Deputy Sheriffs,
Deputy Clerks of the Superior a
Courts, Tax Collectors, County
Coroners, Justices of the Peace,
&c.
If it should become a law, it w~
subject most of these officers to <
the act of Congress whioh exe
tive and Judicial officers of the
Conscription, does not exempt 1

AFTER DECLARE BV LAW TO BE

these officers to be subject to mil
act of Congress at once makes

The Governor thinks it would be’t
folly in Urn legislature, after the-Sta
tributed more than her just proport
to the armie- of the Confederacy, to
ject )o conscription all of her civil a
officers, and hurry them out of the

folly of which no other Legislatur
has been vuilty) leaving no one to
county affairs, or look after the e .
families ol our soldiers, and none
men to make bread, and to constit
for the defense-of the State.' Some

todo it.
The Slate has two fine regiments

While there are some good provis

generally been present. He therefo~
give it his sanction.
