The plantation regulations established by Mr..
W. F. Melien: General Agent Treasury Depart
ment. and announced in Orders. win at once be
complied with by a planters in the Sire of Lou
isiana s
There are several provisions in these re. u!a-
tons, which, in the opinion of many planters, are
hard snd inequitabie In these particulars, the
regulations will be subject to amendment and
change. and planters and others interested should
understand that the Government of the u. States
have NO other object than to consult. as far as
practicable, the dsvelopement Of the industrial
resources Of the country, and the security and ad-
vancement Of the Freedmen of the States.
All who heartily cooperate withthe authorities
in 80 doing may be assured of the most patient
examination inso their alleged grievances, and
full consideration Of their claims to modification
Of rules that experience may prove to be oppres-
sive to industry. -
While this assurance is readily given to good
citizens who thus cooperate, the converse OF the
proposition is equally true. and applies with spe-
eial force; and those who wiIfuliy place obstacles
in the way Of officers in the discharge of their du-
ties by refusing to cultivate their own lands, or
to permit it to be done by others, will find that
such lands will be give.ito those who will labor
upon them, with no other privilege to the owner,
than light rent to be paid cut Of the future pro-

Fhave thought it my duty to address you a few
words in parting from you, perhaps forever. My
administration as Governor of Louisiana closes
this Gay. The war is over, the econtest is ended.
the soldiers arc disbanded and gone to their homes
and now there is in Louisiana no opposition what.
ever to the Constitutions and laws of the United
States. Until order shall be established and so
ciety with all it's safe guards fully restored, /
would advise that you form yourselves into com
panies and squads for the purpose of protecting
your families from spoliatien. A few bad men
cando much raischiefand destroy much property
Within short while the United States authori-
ties will no doubt send yon an armed force to any
part of the State where you may require it for
your protection. a9s @
My countryn,en, we have for four long years
waged war which we deemed to be Just III the
sight of High Heaven. We have not been the
best, the wisest nor the bravest people in the
world, but we have suffered more and borne our
suferings with greater fortitude than any people
on the face of Gods green earth. Now let us
show to the world that as we have fought like
men-lke men we can make peace. Let there
be no acts of violence, no heart burnings. no in
temperate language, but with manly dignity SUBJ
