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.
