As such a thing as hirii all the farm
handa has heretofore been unuzsual in
this State. It will manifestly be to the
interest of both the black man and the
white, that a system of rules and regu
lations be adopted, in order that each
party may know his duty and how to
perform it ; becafse, if each one should
labor when he or she pleases, without
regird to the condition of the crop, it is
probable that nothing would be made,.
and both parties would be loosers. It is
nlways to the benefit of society and gov.
ermnent that all its members act in con
cert and harmony, and work together
for each other's benefit. By so doing
the whole connunity is enriched. the
genernki tone of society is elevated. en.
nobled and purified, and the better prin
ciples of our nature govern our actions
and direct our conduct. Heretofore,
you, the blacke, have been slaves, with
no responsibilities, and huffew cares,
But now, 'is far as the whites are con
corned, you assume the duties of free
men, and it will become you to begin
Trom this day to study in what manimer
You many best servo your own interests.
To your eiployer, if he is just and kind
to you, be accommodating and obliging,
and so endeavor to discharge your parr,
of the contrate, and to nequit yourself
of y'inr duties, as to leave no cuiiise for
dissatisfaction on his part. By thus do
ing yoj will soon win a good nan::e, and
your wages will be proportionably high

in the circular issued by thi9 Depart- fo

made to the provision containe. In sec. p<

June 30, 1864, conferring upon the cc
Secretary of the Treasury-discretionary
power in regard to the assessment, levy, a
timo and maniner of collection of taxesin at
the States lately in rebellion.
Under the antlority given by thlat tr
section it wa then stated that the De. w
partment, without waiving in any de- le
greeC the rights of the Government in o
regard to the taxes heretofore accruing, il
would not - insist at present upon their tc
payment, so far asi they were payable sa
prior to the establishment of a collection 1

tho tax-payer resided. It, was further
provided that manufacturod articles le
found intthe hands of a purchaser, where
satisfactorily shown to have passed from fo
the manufacturer before the establish- w
ment of the district, should trot be subject A
to tax, unless transported beyond the
limits of the St.atQ lately in insurrection. r(
No exception tras then made in favor of 4-.
articles which hlad remained in the pos. at
session of the nufaicturers, and thius c
become liable to the tax imposed by the si
existing law.
