The Acting Assistant Commissioner con? gratulates the planters in his District that so many have been able to secure laborers for the coming year, and hopes, by tho blessing of Providence, they may have full granaries and an increase of wealth from the coming crop. Gentlemen, with a desire to restore con? fidence in my District, I issue this commu? nication. It is absolutely necessary tliat all contracts bc made, in duplicate, and unless approved by an officer or agent of this Bureau, will be considered null and void. In the absence of the civil courts, you may depend on the protection of the military. No partiality will be shown tc freed persons, or the contrary. Our cliiei aim will bc justice. Let us adopt the im? mortal creed, "with malice towards noac and charity for all," and strive earnestly to establish peace and good will, and ie cognizing tho rights of all men, do what wc can to inaugurate for our country j fairer future of happiness and prosperity. It is hereby announced that all freedmei found idle or vagrants on tho streets o this city, in the country-in fact, anywheri within the limits of the District of West evil South Carolina-after the first of Marci next, will subject themselves to arrest, anc be compelled to work on Governmen plantations, for the support of the a^ei and infirm freed persons in my charge. And now I cheerfully add a word of on couragement to those who have SO wil lingly-gone to work. This gives me greai satisfaction. You have many enemies many detractors. Heed them not, bu1 work, work, work. "Labor and wait,"anc all will vet bc well. Do all you can to pro cuica large crop. Great inducements - splendid opportunities-aro offered you Then go, plough and plant, dig and We cut and gather in the harvest. Let it b< seen that where in slaver;/ there wasraisec a bindo of com or a pound of cotton, ii freedom there will bc two! Be peaceful and honest -falsehood anc theft shoui J not bc found in freedom.

THE ONLY RECOGNIZED DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN NEW YORK, DAILY, SEMI-WEEK? LY AND WEEKLY. TO THE PUBLIC. THE NEW YORK NEWS HAS BATTLED against despotism for four years of blood and terror, in assertion of the sanc? tity of tho Constitution. A patriotism sufficiently broad to embrace both sections bas been its only guide, and it refers now with honest pride to its record to show that it oas not turned to tho right or thc left under ah the violence of arbitrary power. True to its principles as THE N'LWS has been through thc reign of terror, it chal? lenges public confidence in its honesty and independence for the future. The political transition of the present day opens to THE NEWS a new and wider field of usefulness. Standing now, as it always has, on the inviolability of the Con? stitution, according to the interpretation of tho strict constructionists, it presents a rallying ground for all, in both sections, who are friends of a generous conservatism. Aa a true and tried exponent of sectional amitv, ii. occupies a position which makes it the titting mediator in holding up to the party of order, fn both sections, interests and principles that gave breadth and vi? tality to their alliance. As au interjec? tional agent, devoted to freedom of elec? tion, to trial by jury, to the sanctity of the habeas corpus", and opposed now, as for four years of terror it has been, to the cen? tralization " that dares to trample on the rights of States, North or South, THE NEWS places itself is a candidate for sup? port before the great body of this once free people. The circumstances of the moment make tho dissemination of thc principles of THK NEWS a duty of individual patriotism. Every man who concurs in its doctrine must, if he entertain a true sense of free? dom, do so in no spirit of indifference, but rather with the earnestness of a high trust. Justified, nay bouud, in his love of liberty, to do so,the proprietor places the canvass he makes here of the public generally in the hands of those men who give him "the ap? proval of their consciences as his individual agents. Every reader of THE NEWS cannot avo.d tho conviction of duty which is here pointed out as the ground "of the request, that he urges its claims for a wider support upon all ot his friends and neighbors who give their earnest sympathies to the cause of "strict construction," intersectional con? ciliation, and all the rights of the citizens under the system set lip by our fathers of liberty regulated by law. " The proprietor of THE NEWS calls, therefore, upon good and true Conservatives througnout the country, to discharge, to their convictions of political right at this great crisis in the country's fortunes, the duty of giving to tho. influence of his paper, daily, semi? weekly or weekly, tho wider power "for good which it seeks here through the service of its individual supporters. flAny person sending a Club of Fifty for HE SEMI-WEEKLY or WEEKLY NEWS will be entitled to THE DAILY NEWS FREE FOR ONE YEAR. The name of the Post Office and State should in all cases be plainly written. To ensure safety in remit? tance, money orders are preferable.
