Freedmen in South Carolina-wise Order OF Gem
eral Scott for the Arrest of Migrants.
| The rows and disturbances between the whites
and negroes in Charleston have become of weekly
occurrence, taking place generally on the Battery
on Sunday evenings and usually brought
by the negroes. The native Charleston negroes
do not participate in, but the contrary con-
denim the proceedings, which are the work of the
refugee negroes from the plantations, who, here
in Richmond, have focked into the city and the
discharged negro soldiers.
| In view of the sloth and viciousness of the ne
gro population, General Scott, commanding in
South Carolina, has found it necessary to issue
the following order, the wisdom of which no one
will deny however much they may dispute its
grammar:
HEADo'Rs STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
! CHARLESTON, S. c., June 20, 1866 (
General Orders No. 8.
/ I. The Brevet Major General Commanding has
noticed, with deep regret, the disposition the
part of the freedmen in the vicinity of Charleston
on the plantations, to the neglect of the crops,
and to either lay idling about their houses roam
at large over the country congregate in Charles
ton and other towns. This total disregard of all
obligations to keep their contracts in good faith,
will cause an entire failure of the crops in the
State, and the result must be desitution and star
vatlOn. The increasing amount of theft, drunk
enness and vagrancy demands that the most
prompt and severe measures be taken by all Off
GERS to check the evil
II. It is ordered that the men women who
leave the plantation 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
grants and put to work on the public roads, as
provided by paragraph XII, General Order No.
l, Headquarters Department of South Carolina.
| All planters who have freedmen employed on
their plantations who do not, at this important
season of the year, give their entire time to the
growing crops, authorized if after reading this
order to them and they neglect refuse to obey
it, to report them at to the officer in COM
mand of the district who will cause them to be
taken from the plantation as vagrants and put to
work the public roads Their children if any,
will be bound to such persons will take care Of
them and learn them habits of industry.
| Ill A prison will be established for all persons
of color convicted of such crimes as are not pun
ishable by death on one of the islands, where en-
ployment can be furnished 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
spurious liquors TO q freedman without permit
from some officer having CONTROL will be fined in
any not less than twenty-five dollars ($25)
nor more than one hundred dollars ($100) for
every offence of which he may be convicted.
~ Commanding officers will have this order
read in the several colored churches in their vi
cinity, in order that it may become generally un-
derstood.
By command of Brevet Major General r. K.
Scott.
