dARRoTERs AT Work AGAIN.
About half past 8 o'clock last NIGHT
MI. George Brown, a young gentleman
OF this city, was attacked by a couple Of
gar ,,s on Holt street, near the Orphan
bridge and was coming down Holt street
towards his home on Fenchurch and I i,
passing dark recess, was struck with :. n
bludgeon on the head. The blow
though heavy, did not knock him down,
and he turned upon his assailant, but at
the same time was seized by another
garroter who caught him by the collar
tearing off bis necktie. Mr.. Brown
struck this fellow blow which felIed
him to the banquette, and having freed
himself from the scoundrels, be left as
suddenly and as fast as possible, with
out stopping to inquire if the fellow was
much hurt. We had hoped that these
geutry had all left, but it appears thew
were only waiting for dark nights.

Important Order. |
HEAD'oRs, STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
Charleston, s. c., June 20, 1866. \
General Orders, No. 9.
1. The Brevet Major-Genelal Comman-
ding has noticed, with deep regret, the
disposition on the part Of freedmen in the
vicinity of Charleston and along the coast,
to disregard their agreements on planta-
tions, to the neglect of the crops, and to
either lay idling about their houses, roam
at large over the country, or congregate in
Charleston aud other towns. This total
disregard of all obligations to keep their
contracts in good faith will cause an entire
failure of crops in the State, and the result
must be destitution and starvation. The
increasing amount of theft, drunkenness
and vagrancy demands that the most
prompt, and severe measures be taken by
all officers to check the evil.
II. 1t is ordered that all men or women,
who leave the plantation on which they are
employed to labor, either by the month, for
share of the crop, or as renters OF land,
and thereby neglect their growing crops,
be at once arrested as vagrants and put to
work on the public roads, as provided for
by Par. XII, G. 0. N. l, Headquarters
Department of South Carolina.
All planters who have freedmen employed
on their plantations who do not, at this i'm.
poFtant season of the year, give their entire
time to the growing crops, are authorized,
if after reading this order to them and
they neglect or refuse to obey it, to report
them at once to the officer in command of
the district, who will cause them to be
taken from the plantation as vagrants and
put to work on the public roads. Their
children, if any, will be bound to such
persons as will take care of them and learn
them habits of industry. 5
III. A prison will be established for ali
persons of color convicted of such crimes
as are not punishable by death, on one of
the islands, where employment can be fur
nished, and all convicts will be compelled
to labor from sunrise until sunset, under
the control of such guards as will insure
their safety, Any person convicted of
selling srirituous liquors to freedman
without permit from some officer having
control, will be fined in any sum not less
than twenty FIVE dollars (s25) nor more
than one hundred dollars (Sl00) for every
offence of which he may be convicted.
". Commanding officers will have this
order read in the several colored churches
in their vicinity, in order that it may become
generally understood.
By command of Brevet Major-General
