Redemption OF MutIiaaed Bank Notes.
The following important circular has
been issued by the Treasury Department :
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.,
O6Gce fMe ComptgolLer Of Currency,
Washington, b. G.

'hpuAhHS'', ~ ".
The following suggestions are offered
relative to the redemption Of mutilated
CIRCULATING notes Of national banks, and
their return TO this office:
First-The notes are to be redeemed by
the banks by which they are respectively
issued and should not be returned 10 this
Office in sums less than five hundred dol
lars, or in even multiples of that amount.
Sec0nd--Mutilated notes which hGve
been torn or defaced will be received, when
presented by the bank that issued them,
provided all the fragments are returned
and the engraving or signatures are not
80 far ohiterated that it cannot be deter
mined by what bank the notes were issued.
Third Fragments should be redeemed
by banks in full when accompanied by an
affidavit stating the case and manner Of
mutlation and that the missing part Of
the note is totally destroyed The good
character of the afIiant should also be fully
vouched for by the officer before whom the
affidavit is taken.
These affidsvits must be forwarded TO
this Office, with the fragments to which
they relate, ia order that the banks pre-
senting such parts Of notes may obtain
credit for the same.
Exceptional cases may occur in which
no affidavit can be obtained, aud whore no
reasonable doubts can exist in regard to
the entire destruction or irreparable dam
age to missing portions Of notes--as by
fire, acids, etc. c.--where evidence Of identity
is ample by the signature of one or both
officers, or title or locality Of the bank,
and the denomination Of the note-where
the integrity of the bll-holder is unexcep-
tionable, and where no question could
arise in regard to fraudulent or improper
use Of missing parts; in such instances
judicious discrimination must necessarily
be exercised by the officers Of the banks.
1t is, however, advised that such notes
be received at their full face value, per-
feet note given therefor, record being
preserved Of the fact, to be sent to this Of
fice with the mutilated note when returned
for redemption by the bank, in which case
fnl credit will be allowed in this depart
ment
Fourth-When no satisfaction con be
obtained in regard to the missing parts,
and o possibility exists that any improper
use can be made of the same, it is recon-
mended that proportionate value only be
allowed, estimating this by comparison of
the propoi ton returned TO the missing
parts. A record should be kept Of the
amount allowed in all such instances, and
O. voucher of the same rendered to this of
fee, when the mutilated note or notes shall
be returned for redemption.

Shreveport, La, June l1ih, 1866. (
General Ot'de,s No. "a.
Great and sudden changes in the condition Of
snv class Of people are always productive Of
suffering, and the tran ition Of the blacks from
state Of slavery TO freedom caanot fail 70 cause
temporary suffering to all classes. Already this
In being manifested by the negroes leaving their
homes and setting out en- masse, for the military
posts, and with no definite purpose, except to
ieavs the scene Of their former bondage.
The result Of this state Of things, If allowed,
would be- ..
lst. The loss of the crops and tha entire ruin Of
the Agricultural interssts in this part OF the
State.
ID. Untold suffering, starvation and misery
among the blacks themselves.
Without attempting, therefore, to regulate all
the various interests arising out Of this question,
and which pertain properly TO the Freedman 3
Bureau, the Major General Commanding deems 1t
his duty to make such rules az in his opinion Will
best prevent suffering and restore quiet at the
present time. II is therefore ordered that all
persons heretofore held ag slaves remain for the
present with their former masters, and by their
labor secure the crops OF the present season. The

themselves and their families Is in the field,
where they have been accustomed TO work II

cases. II necessary for them 10 leave home or

their arrest as yagrants. But while 1t Ia found
necessary during the present unsettled state Of
the country to make these orders reiative TO the
blacks, the planters are reminded that The mat
tar depends largely on them, and that only BY
fair treatment Of the hands can they hope to ma

plantations.
Definite contracts mnst be made with the ne

Whereas, By an net Of Congress, ap-
proved March 3, 1865, there was estab-
lished in the War Department Bureau OF

and to which, in accordance with the said
net Of Congress. is committed the super
vision and management Of all abandoned
lands, and the control Of all subjects re-
lating to refugees; and freedmen from re-
bel States, or from any district Of country
within the territory embraced in the oper-
ntions Of the army, under such rules and
regulations rs may be prescribed by the
held Of the bureau and approved by the
President; aud WheTeas, il appears that the
management Of abandoned lands, and sub
jects relating to refugees and freedmen, as
aforesaid, have been, aud still are, by Or
ders based on military exigencies, or leg
islation based on previous statutes, partly
in the hands Of military officers disconnec-
ted with said bureau, and partly in charge
of officers Of the Treasury Department; it
is therefore Ordered, That all officers Of
the Treasury Department, all military Of
ficers, and all others in the service Of the
UhlLeu Sthles, tuFh o'eF " Tie auLhorlHch

Fishing the Bureau Of Refugees, Freedmen

|also turn over to such offices all funds
collected by tax or otherwise for the bene-
fit Of refugees or freedmen, or accruing
