Bureau for North Carolina, has lately issued circular
letter nstructing his agents In all elauthenticated
cases, where families of women and children are
turned away by the planters to send md levy upon MS
crop Of corn and bacon for sufficient amount to ieed
them until the close Of the year. Tie Agent az
Charlotte has written to these Headquarters that the
PRONUNCIATION OF this just and timely order mas had an
excellent effect in that district. where the EVIL was
rapidly increasing. Some who had sent FAINT - away
had them brought back rather than to have IT, crops
levied on for their support.

planters that the Convention soon 10 assemble, among
other laws will provide for the arrest and binding out

until he cge Of tueaiy There is therefore, nice
little scheme for manufacturing Migrants, and then
going to the Oyerseers OF the Poor and securing their
services free or upon their own terms
