[This action of the commandant evidently results from a late order of the President, restraining the military in their arbitrary interference with private contracts, especially in stich cases as the late cotton dispute be? tween Messrs. Metcalf and other Au gusta merchants with Mr. >hn Gar sed, of Philadelphia. invo! og up? wards of 12,000 bales of cotton.

C., October 5, IStio. . SCHOOL CIRCULA R XO. 1. TO THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA: In entering upon my duties as Superin? tendent of Education for the State of South Carolina, in accordance with Special Orders No. 10, Assistant Commissioner. Bureau Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands for South Carolina and Georgia, it is my earnest desire to secure the co-operation of all pc-rsons in the State. It is admitted on all hands that no fork is of more importance as affecting the future prosperity of the country than the removal of tho mass of ignorance which now weighs down tho laboring classes throughout the South. The sooner this work is begun, the better for all parties concerned. In the present crippled financial condi? tion of tl is Stute, it is not expected that she can assume the responsibility of pro? viding the means of education of all with? in her borders. It is, therefore, in no spirit of arrogance or self-sufficiency that the various benevolent associations of tho North propose t^aesif 'n the work of edu? cating the ignorant classes of this and of other States in the South. The proposi? tion is made with the sincere desire of hearing their share of tho burdens Provi? dence has put upon ns all, and for the pur? pose of securing a brighter and more pros? perous future. These associations now stand prepared to furnish teachers whenever tho Agents of this Bureau shall call for them. I therefore earnestly request all persons in any part of this State, who may'fuel an interest in this work, to communicate with me, furnishing me with all the information they can give as to tho facilities for estab? lishing schools in their respective neigh? borhoods. Wherever residents of the State are wil? ling to accept positions as teachers, and aro otherwise qualified, they will be em? ployed. Surelv no argument is needed to con? vince- the intelligence of this State that education is the prime condition of its future safety and prosperity, and that the work o' education cannot be commenced too soon, or carried on with too much ear? nestness. If on no other ground than self interest alone, this matter recommends itself to the attention of every planter in the State. Let the freedmen on your plantations know that there is a school at hand, where their children may be educated, and you give ono of the strongest inducements to contentment and steady industry. The purpose of this Bureau, ?ad espe? cially this branch ot it, is neither to destroy or unnecessarily interfere, but simply to assist in repairing the "wast? places," and in laying sure thc foundations of the future happiness and greatness o' the people ol this State and of the whole country. This >? the spirit in which we ?hall labor, and we trust th? people of South Carolina will meet us in a similar spirit, and co-operate ' with us ia our efforts, so long as thes" efforts may be needed, to secure the ends for which this Bureau was established-the protection and education ol thc ignorant, and the well-being and safetv <>f the whole community.
