All can understand the importance of making
a crop the present season, and foresco
the misery aud suffering .consequent upon its
failure.
In the present unsfltlcd state of the country
and in the 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 the oath of
allegiance, will assemble the freedmcn (lately
their siaves; ana lgrprm tuem mat tpey aru
free, and that henceforth they urnst depend
upon their own exertions for their support.
2d. Equitable contracts in writing will be
made by the owners of the land with the
freedmcn 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 tlio 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 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 will bo considered force?
