Planter and the Negro comprehend the Revolution.

d.on Of things occasioned most Of the
of the past year. Where such incomprehension is

Xxx These regulations are based upon the usnmp
tion thai labor is public duty and idleness and
grancy crime. No civic military officer Of the Gov
ernment Is exempt frou the operation OF this universal
rule. Every enlightened community has enforced il
upon all classes Of people by the seyerest penalties 1t
portion OF the people identified with the cultivation OF
the soil however changed in the condition of the
luton through which we are passing Is not relieved
from the necessity OF toll which is the condition of
istence with all the children Of God. The revolution
has altered its tenure but not its law.
This universal law of labor will be enforced upon jus.
terms by the Government under whose protection the
laborer rests secure in his rights Incidence, dis
order and crime will be suppressed Having exercised
the highest right in the choice and Place Of employment
he must be held 70 the fllnent OF his engagements
until released therefrom by the Government. The |
several Provost Marshals are hereby invested with
pleDary powers upon an matters connected with labor
subject to the approval Of the Provost
and the Commanding Officer Of tho Department. The
most faithful and discreet officers will be selected for
this duty and the largest force consistent with the pub
lie service detailed for their assistance.
XXI Employers, and especially oyerseers, are mott
ned that undue influence used the Marshal from
his Just balance betwe the parties representing labor
and capital will result in immediate change Of officers
and thus defeat that regular and stable system upon
which the interests Of all parties depend.
XIII Successful industry is especially necessary at
the present time when large public debts and oncrous
imposed TO maintain and protect the liberties
Of the people and the integrity of the Union. All off

Government service as great as that derived from the
