Charles Hotel, to consult as to what should be
done with their slaves. The meeting represen-
ted over fifty millions Of property. General
Banks was invited in by the planters, and was
in free conference with them. Some of the
planters complained of General Banks recent
order, bCCauseit left them no means of reclaim
ing their fugitive negroes, to which General
Banks replied by pointing them to the law Of
Congress prohibiting slave catching by the
army. The result was an agreement that the
planters should pay their laborers, and that the
