The rise in gold occasioned rather more1,
firmness in commercial circles yesterday,-.but
did hot stimulate much more activity.p The

and that it is the manifest and binding

to make such arrangements among themselves,
for compensated labor, as shall be mutually
advantageous to all parties. Neither idleness

Circular to Planters tfcc.
VTUMEROUSDUPLICATIONS HAVE
^ been made to me for information aa to the
policy to be adopted on the 50bjset labor.
All can understand the importance of roa?
Sing a crop the present season, and foresee
tbe misery and suffering consequent upon its
failure.
In tbe present unsetlcd state of the country'
and in tbe absence of any recognized State authorities,
I find it my duty to assume control
of the" plantations near the military lines, and
order as follows:
1st. The planters?' after taking tho oath of
allegiance, will assemoie the freedmen (lately
their slaves) and inform them that they are
free, and that henceforth they must depend
upon their own exertions for their support.
2d. Equitable contracts, in writing will be
made by the owners of tbe land with the
freedmen for the cultivation of the land daring
tho present yoar. . ^
Payment will be made in kind, and tbe al*
lowance of one half the crop is recommended
as fair compensation for the labor, the landlord 1
furnishing subsistence until tbe crop is made.
These contracts will be submitted to the nearest,
military or naval commander for annrnval
iind endorsement.
When the above requirements are complied
with, protection wili be granted as far as military
necessity will allow; but where no contract
is made, the crop raised wi|l be considered for- <
t'eitcd for the use of the' laborers. Should the- i
oWDers refuse to cultivate it, ti^y will be considered
as endeavoring to embarrass the Government,
and the laud will be used for colonies
of the frecdmcn from the interior.
