General .Ilsll.u issued an order On
90 W. :, N sxplsnatios Of the manner
..A;ch the recent order OF the Gov
srpment suthoriiBg the seizure Of rsb-
81 property and the employment Of ne
gro laborers, should be enforced in bis
Department. The General says be has
not received any official copy Of this Or
der, for this reason has delayed the issue
Of bis own, bat certain lawless demon
STATIONS have rendered it necessary for
him to delay no longer. He further
ssys that the order Of the President &C.
cords substantially With the course al
ways pursued ID the army of the Peto-
mac, and that therefore no great change
is needed. He then lays down the fol-
lowing rules
l. Personal property needful for sup.
plies will ~ heretofore be seized and
used by the proper Quartermssters aod
Subsistence officers, upon the orders o.
commander Of army corps, OF, where
they are not accessible. by order OF the
officer 10 command Of the detached force
making the seizure. Accounts Of these
.a;,rre. are always to be taken.
2. All unauthorized seizures BY sold
iers will be regarded and punished a.
pillage.
8. Similar rules, except in regard to
| camps, pastursge, hospitals, depots, &C.,
will be observed respecting real proper
ty. Women and young children must
| not be molested.
3. In protecting private property, ne
reference is intended to negroes such
persons will be regarded as hitherto, ~
Occupying simply a peculiar Iega! sta
tins under State laws, which condition
the United States mili,sry aatho'ite
are not required to regard at all ia dis
tricts where the rebellIous State Govern
ments have rendered warIike operations
necessary. Suspicious persons, as here
tofore, are liable to arrest. 1t has al
ways been under stood since the com
mencement Of the war that negroes wer'
to be received as. laborers, aud so paid
and we're not afterwards to BE- reclaimed
BY their former holders. Except upol
such understanding upon their part, tn
order Of the President as to this elias
Of persons would be imperative. Th
General Commanding, therefore feel
authorized to declare to all such EN-
, ployees that they will receive perm'
nent military protection against an
. compulsory return to condition Of se
! vitude.
