that all subsistence stores and the property of
the Confederate States within the limits of the
State should he turned over and accounted for
by the Agents of the State, appointed for that
purpose, and directing that the subsistence
and other stores shall be used for the relief of
the people of the State; and the proclamation of
Joseph E. Brown styling himself Governor of
Georgia, .dated at the capital of that State, on
the Oil day of May, 18@5, requiring the oiliccrs

April, i860, giving notice and direction that
an election will be held on Wednesday, the
7tli day of June, 18G3 for Governor of the
State of Florida; arc, each and all of tliem
declared mil and void; it having become known
to me, from trust-worthy information, that the
aforesaid A.G. Magrath, Joseph E. Brown and
A. K. Alliso#, are disloyal to the United States
having committed sundry and divers aets
tot' treason against the same, in adhering to
their enemies, giving tliem any aid comfort.
The persons.and peoples, to whom-the proclamations
hereinabove referred to have been
respectively addressed, are therefore enjoined
and commanded to give no heed whatever thereto,
or to any orders proclamations, corninis
sions or commands, emanating irom persons
el-liming the right to exersisctbc functions and
authority of Governor in either of the States
of South Carolina, Georgia or, Florida, unless
the same shall have been promulgated hv the
advice or consent of feUo United States anttrnrities.
II. The policy and wishes of the General
Government toward the people of these States,
and the method which shoifld be pursued by
them in resuming or asssuming the exercise of
their political rights, will doubtless be made
known at an early day.
It is deemed sulliciout, meanwhile, to announce
that the people of the black race are
free citizens of tin? United States, that it is
the fixed intention of a wise and beneficent
(Government to protect them in the enjoyment
of their freedom and the fruits of their industry,
and that it is the manifest and binding
duty of all citizens, whites as well as blacks, to
to make such arrangements among themselves,
for compensated labor, as shall be mutually
advantageous to all parties. Neither idleness
nor vagrancy will be tolerated, and the Government
will not extend pecuniary aid to any
persons, whether white or black, who arc unwilling
to help themselves.
111. District and Post Commanders throughout
this Department will at once cause this
order to be circulated, far and wide, by special

Ciivular to Planters&c.
AJ^AfEROUS APPLICATIONS HAVE
h V been made to me for information as toihe
policy to be adopted on the subject of labor.
All Can understand the importance of making
a crop the present soason, and foresee
the misery and suffering consequent upon its
failure.
In the present unsctlcd state of the country
suad in the absence of any recognized State authorities,
I find it ray duty to assume control
of t^ie plantations near the military lines, andl
order as follows: ?
1st The planters, after taking the ' oath of
allegiance, will assemble the frcedmon (lately
thcit slaves) and inform them that they arc
free, and that henceforth they ranst depend
upe'u their own exertions for their support.
2d. Equitablo contracts in writing will be
made bv the owners of the, land with the
frcodmcn for the cultivation of the land during
the present year. ?.
| Payment will be made in kind, and the allowance
of one half the crop is recommended
as fair compensation for the labor, the landlord
famishing subsistence until the crop is made.
These contracts will be submitted to the nearest
military or naval commander for approval
and'endorsement.
AYlieu the above requirements are complied
with, protection will be granted as far as military
necessity will allow; but where no contract
is made, the crop raised will be considered forfeited
for the use of the laborers. Should the
owners refuse to cultivate it, they will be considered
as endeavoring to embarrass the Government,
and the laud will be nscd for colonics
of the frecdmcn l'roru the interior.
