VTUMEROUS APPLICATIONS HAVE L ^ been.made to. me for information as to the Ua nAam fKn Onhinr*f InKnr "$1 pan understand the importance of making a crop the present season, and , forespo the nriserv and suffering consequent upon its failure. In the present unsctled statc'of the country and in the absence of any recognized Stato authorities, I find it ray duty to assume control of the plantations near the military lines, and order as follows: 1st. The planters, after taking the -oafh of allegiance, will assemble the frecdmen (lately tbeirslaves) 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.bv the ownws of the land with the frcedmen 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 furnishing subsistence -until the crop is made. These contracts will be submitted to the nearest military or naval commander for approval and endorsement. . "When the abovo requirements are complied with, protection wili be granted as far as militarv necessity will allow: but where no contract is made, tbe 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 tbe laud will be used for colonies of the heed me a from tbe interior.
