A correspondent of the Cincinnati Guzclte, j
who is writing up "sonic of the reminisce/ices of I
Sherman'- campaign in North Carolina, is re-1
sponsible for the following:
(ion. Sherman com pi lined, .'ami, doubtless, !
with sonic truth, if not justice, that the Gov- I
eminent had never distinctly explained to him
what policy desired to have pursued. '! :
. asked J'.ir. L:u. .i;i . xjiiicitlv, wiieti 1 went y ;
City X'oint, whether he wanted ine'to capture |
Jeff. is ?"lc. Liiu escape, and in reply lie |
toid me a stmy/ 1
That 'story1 may jjjtjw ii..ve a historical value, j
and I gave it. therefore, as Gen. Sherman j
said Air. Lincoln SoM it?ouiy piomisiag that
it was a favorite story with .Mr. Lincoln, which
he told iaaov times, and iu illustration of nianv
points of public policy: 'I'll tell yon, General,'
Zvlr. Lincoln was sai?i to have be run, 'I'll icll i
you what I think about Inking Jeff. Davis.
Out S.n Saugr.uioii CoisiiLy *iioie was an old I
' temperance lecturer, who was so very strict in j
the doct:iu? and practice el' total abstinence.,
One day, after a long ride in the hot sun, he
stopped at the house of a friend, who proposed
making him r. lemonade. As the mild bevo:?
age was being mixed, the friend insinuatingly
asked if he wouldn't like the least drop ofj
something stronger, to brace up his u.-ms i ,
after the exhausting heat ami exercise. 'No,' !
replied the lecturer, I cru'drft think of it$ I'm
opposed to it on principle; but,' he added, with
n longing glance at the black bottle that stood j
conveniently at hand, 'if you could manage to
put in a drop uubsIrno:;nst to me, I guess it !
wonldn't hurt me much !' J
'Now, General,' Mr. Lincoln is said to have j |
concluded, 'I'm bound to oppose the escape of
Jeff Davis; but if you could manage to let"liim
slip out, unbeknownst like, I guess it wouldn't!:
hurt inc much !' 1
'And that,' exclaimed Gen. Sherman, 'is all
' . 7 j
- I couldiget out of (lie Government as to what
its policy v/as concerning the rube! leaders till (
Stanton assailed me for Davis' escape.'

VTUMEROUS APPLICATIONS I&YE
been uiadc'to me for information as to the
policy to bo adopted on the subject of labor.
All can understand the importance of makiijMf
a crop tbe present season, and foresee
tbe misery and sutFering*cons6quenfc- upon its
failure.
In the present unsetled state of the country
and in tho absence uf 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 tbe frccdmen (lately
their slaves'! and inform- them that thev are
tree, and tbat 'henceforth they must .depend
upon their own exertions for their support.
2d. Equitable contracts iu writing viK bo
made by'the owners of (he land with the
freed men for the cultivation of the land during
the present year.
Payment will be made in kind, and the allowance
of ouc half the crop is recommended
as fair compensation for the labor, tbe 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; hut where uo contract
is made, the crop raised will bo considered forfeited
for the use of (lie laborers. Should the
owners refuse to cultivate it, tlicV will bo considered
as endeavoring to embarrass the Government,
and the laud will boused for colonics
of the frccdrncn from the interior.
