As the mild bevo:? age was being mixed, the friend insinuatingly asked if he wouldn't like the least drop ofj something stronger, to brace up his u.-ms i , after the exhausting heat ami exercise. 'No,' ! replied the lecturer, I cru'drft think of it$ I'm opposed to it on principle; but,' he added, with n longing glance at the black bottle that stood j conveniently at hand, 'if you could manage to put in a drop uubsIrno:;nst to me, I guess it ! wonldn't hurt me much !' J 'Now, General,' Mr. Lincoln is said to have j | concluded, 'I'm bound to oppose the escape of Jeff Davis; but if you could manage to let"liim slip out, unbeknownst like, I guess it wouldn't!: hurt inc much !' 1 'And that,' exclaimed Gen.

All can understand the importance of makiijMf a crop tbe present season, and foresee tbe misery and sutFering*cons6quenfc- upon its failure. In the present unsetled state of the country and in tho absence uf 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 the oath of allegiance-, will assemble tbe frccdmen (lately their slaves'! and inform- them that thev are tree, and tbat 'henceforth they must .depend upon their own exertions for their support. 2d. Equitable contracts iu writing viK bo made by'the owners of (he land with the freed men for the cultivation of the land during the present year. Payment will be made in kind, and the allowance of ouc half the crop is recommended as fair compensation for the labor, tbe 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 above requirements are complied with, protection wili be granted as far as military necessity will allow; hut where uo contract is made, the crop raised will bo considered forfeited for the use of (lie laborers. Should the owners refuse to cultivate it, tlicV will bo considered as endeavoring to embarrass the Government, and the laud will boused for colonics of the frccdrncn from the interior. oJOI-l>: 1'.
