Missouri, and who feel like getting their
stock back, or getting even by retaliation.
All such shall have escort, as far as practi-
cable, from my scouting parties to search
for their ewn stock, and such aid from the
Provost Marshal and his subordinates as
they can render, in finding and returning it
to them. But the peace of the district will
compel me to prevent reprisals, except by
officers of the United States, acting under
orders.
There will doubtless be efforts made to
convince you that these views are wrong,
and to prejudice my policy in this district

well reply in advance, that whether my
policy be right or wrong, too harsh or too
lenient, it will be my own. am honored

The Dag Of Freedom i'm missouri Fi1s

The Day of Freedom in Missouri FIXED.
The most important law ever pa ssed in
Missouri, was recently enacted by the State
Convention, in the shape of tie Ordinance
of Emancipation. 1t provides in brief that
after the 4th day of July, 1870, slavery shall
cease in Missouri. A limited extension of the
authority of previous masters, is permitted,
a. over servants, IN the case of those over
forty yssrs OF age, for twelve years; In that
OF children under twelve until they are
~eny three, aud IN all other cases for six
years; but UGH freed men cannot be sold or
carried out of the State.
Although this Ordinance is not all that
we could have desired, yet We cannot fail to
recognize it as great and glorious move
ment in the right direction. It fixes a
limit, and not very distant one, at which
slavery shall cease. To all practical intents
and purposes, Missouri ceases to be slave
