RELIEF.-The following circular | Tfti4_i-l-V, ic -? -t.-_t~:- ? - _. iCjvSS?? nuiOD IS ui auoviuiug .uiu:ic.n , especially to the planters of this State, ift from tho pen of General Scott, and will be eagerly pernaed : HKADQ'BS ASSISTANT COMM/B, B?BBAU B., F. AND A. L., CHABLESTON, S. C., Feb. 27, 1868. The Assistant Commissioner is compelled to call the attention of the people of this District to thu great increase within the past few days in the number of applicants for' Go? vernment assistance, und to thus publicly announce that it will be im? possible for him, with the limited supplies nt his command, to assist more than a fraction of those who are now applying. Neurly one-half of the amount at his disposal has been already expended, and but a limited proportion of the applica? tions received have been acted upou. In future, all applications for as? sistance will bo referred to the officer or ngent of the Bureau residing near? est to the applicaut, with instructions to investigate fully hts or her condi? tion, and upon the report made, tho Assistant Commissioner will act. Applioatious should, therefore, to save time, be made direct to the nearest Bureau officer, who will for? ward them to these headquarters, with such expression of approval or disapproval ns he may see fit to make. Tho applicant should state in each case the name and situation of his plantation, and the nearest railroad station or steamboat landing; the fact that the plantation is fully or? ganized, th oj number - of adults and j children (those over fourteen years of age being considered udults) for whom provisions are desired, and the number of acres to be cultivated in cotton, corn or othor products. In ho case will food for animals be fui> nished. To tho freed people throughout tho District, tho Assistant Commis? sioner desires to say that the de? termination now so prevalent in many localities not to contract, ex? cept upon terms which, while they assure nothing to tho laborer, are so disadvantageous to the planter as to preclude tho possibility of any agree? ment being made, is most unfortu? nate, and can be productive of no? thing but disastrous results. If such people are under tho impression that they will be fed by this Bureau, tho Assistant Commissioner desires to uudecieve thom without delay. No loan of provisions will, under any circumstances, be made to those who are planting under contracts of such a nature, that it is evident they will not only not mako sufficient supplies to live upon another year, but will with difficulty be able to raise suffi? cient to repay advances made them tliis year. Many people entertain the idea that all that is necessary to enable them to obtain rations, is to have possession of a piece of laud. Such is not the ease. The Assistant Com? missioner must be satisfied that the land is of such a quality, aud that tho applicant is planting it under such conditions, that ho will bo able to produce from it sufficient not only to repay his advance.", but to supply himself and family another year. Furthermore, no issues of rations for planting purposes will be niado to individuals, but only upon organized plantations, with a responsible head, either white or colored, whose ex? perience and (." tractor is such that tho Assistant Commissioner can have no donbt but that his obligation to the Government will be fullilled to thu letter.
