tho other evening by a little fellow in
a Pittsfieid, Mass., barber-shop. A
gentleman of standing, and au owner
in one of the factories, came in, and,
impatient at being delayed while two
boys had their hair cut, remarked
that : "Little boys ought to get their
hair out in the day time, and go to bed
in the evening." "Yes," replied one
of the juveniles; "but littleboys who
have to get up at five o'clock in the
morning, and work in the mill till
seven at night, must get. their hair cut
whenever they can."

The fol lowing order of the President of j
I the United State* in relation to transfcrof !
abandoned land», fund« and property set
apart for the use of Freednien, to the
Bureau of Refugees, Freednien and Aban
doned Lauds, ie published for the infor
mation and guidance of all concerned :
Executive Mansion, [
Washington, D. C., June 12, 1865. /
Whereat, lly an act of Congress, ap
proved March 3, 1865, thnr* 1 was estab
lished in the War Department a Bureau of
Ref ugees, Freednien and Abandoned Lands
and to which, in accordance with the taid
not. of Congress, is committed tho super
vision and management of all abandoned
lands, and the control of all subjects re
lating to refugees; and fieedraen from re
bel States, or from any district of country
within the territory embraced in the oper
ations of the army, under such rules and
regulations as may be prescribed by the
head of the bureau and approved by the
President; and whereat, it appears that the
management of abaudoned lands, and sub
jects relating to refugees audfrecdmen, as
aforesaid, have been, and 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
United States, turnover to the authorized
ofiicers of said bureau all abandoned lands
and property contemplated in said act of
Congress, approved March 3, 1865, estab
lishing the Bureau of Refugees, Freed men
tind Abandoned Lands, that may now be
under or within their control. They will
also turn over to such offices all funds
collected by tax or otherwise for the bene
fit of refugees or freedrnen, or accruing
from abandoned lands or property set
apart for their use, and will transfer to
them all official records connected with the
administration of affairs which pertain to
said bureau.

Redemption of Mutilated Hnnli Koten.
The following important circular has
been issued by the Treasury Department :
Treasury Department, i
Office of the Comp/.t oiler of Currency, >
Washington, D. C. j
The following suggestions are offered
relative to the redemption of mutilated
circulating notes of national bàoks, 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 bo returned to this
office in sums less than five hundred dol
lars, or in evcu multiples of that amouut.
Second—Mutilated notes which have
been torn or defaced will be received, when
presented by the bank that issued thcui,
provided all the fragments are returned
atld the eugrnving or signatures are not
so far obliterated that it ennuot be deter
mined by what bank the notes were issued.
Third—Fragments should be redeemed
by banks in full when accompanied by an
«ffidavit stating the case and manner of
mutilation, and that the missing part of
the note is totally destroyed. The good
character of the affiant should also be fully
vouched for by the officer before whom the
affidavit is taken.
These affidavits must be forwarded to
this office, with the fragments to whioh
they relate, iu order that the bank;i pre
senting such parts of notes may obtain
credit for the same.
Exceptional oa.'ses may occur in which
no affidavit can be obtained, and where no
reasonable doubts can exist in regard to
the entire destruction or irreparable dam
age to missing portions of notes—as by
tire, acids, etc 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—whero
j
j
I
the integrity of the bill-holder iB uncxcep
tionable, and where no question could
arise in regard to a fraudulent or improper
use ol missing parts; iu such instances
judicious discrimination m unnecessarily
K« *Pf! »t their full face value a ner
De rtxeiveu at ineir luit tace vaiue, a per
_ _ _
a^™8*possibility^ exists that any improper
be exercised by the officers of the banks.
It is, however, advised that such notes
feet note given therefur, a 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
full credit will be allowed in this depart
ment.
Fourth—When no satisfaction can be
obtained in regard to the missing parts,
use can be made of the same, it is recom
mended that a proportionate value only be
allowed, estimating this by comparison of
the propoition returned to the missing
parts. A record should be kept of the
amount allowed in all such instances, and
a voucher of the same rendered to this of
fice, when the mutilated note or notes shall
be returned for redemption.

1 extend to you my heartfelt congratu
lations on your being restored to the pro
tection of the flag of our country, the sym
bol of law, order and freedom, and which
now waves in majestic power ovor an un
divided nation. Our once wealthy and
fertile State, now bankrupt and desolate
from the ravages of fctestino war resumes
her natural relations (which liavo been
temporarily disrupted) within the glorious
Union of tne8tateh,unitod hy tho bonds of
universal freedom and ties tliatcau never
be disaevored. It i» not ray purpose to
rake up the ashes of the past, by inquiring
who lias errod and who hus not erred in
the fearful struggle the nation has just
passed through. Whatever may have been
the causes or the outbreak, and however
bitter may have boon the feeling» engen
dered in the hearts of some, it is better
that all such matters be buried out of aight
forever. It ie not the past, but the pres
ent and future we have to deal with.
Groat and responsible duties rest, upon ev
ery citizen at thiacrisis, to manfully go to
work and assist in the re-eetablishment of
civil government. In that connection it is
a most cheering sign to see the spirit of
submission to tue laws, and willingness to
acquiesce in the result, manifested by those
so recently engaged in hostility to the
Qovcrnme'nt. Even tho soldiers return to
their homes wiser and belter men, frankly
owning to the failure of their experiment,
and alloxpressing a desire to atone for the
error» of the past by cheerful obedience to
the Governmout, and glad again to enjoy
its beniflcent rule. You, my friends and
fellow-citizens, for I esteem it a privilege
to call you ho ,must follow in the footsteps
of ao good an example. You must go to
vrork to organize civil government in your
respective Parishes. Sheriffs, Recorders,
Clerks of Court* and Police Juror» will
have to be appointed provisionally, until
elections can be held to fill these ofttc»s,
ns provided by law. You must confer
among yourselves, and select men of in
tegrity and capacity to fill theae positions.
I will act on your recommendations by
appointing the person» named by you, if
they are men of proper character, and
have taken the oath prescribed in the lire
»Idcnt's Proclamation of the 3th of De
cember, 18S3, or that of the 29th of May,
1864.
This will be pro-requisite in all cases,
the original or certified copy of which oath
must be transmitted with the application
lor appointment. It is also uiy intention
to organize the Judiciary throughout the
State by appointing provisionally Judges
District Court» and District Attor
of the
iieys an soon an practicable. The former
elans of officer« are made appointive by the
Executive, under the new conetitutioo, for
u term of gix yearn, and I invite recom
mendation» from you or to who «hall fill
those office», as also District Attorneys.
I cannot urge upon you too atronfrly the
importance of your acting promptly and
with unanimity in the matters herein
brought to your notice. If you neglect to
avail yourselves of the opportunity offered
you I shall be compelled to make appoint
ments to office for your section, from the
best information in ray possesion, and
you cannot blame ino if they are not ac
ceptable to you. Important elections will
be held this fall. Members of Congress
nnd a Legislature will have to be elected,
und if each Parish is provided with proper
officers to open the polls, an election for
Governor and other btate officers, accord
ing to the new constitution, will takeplace
at the fcarne time.
While the population of that portion of
the Btate which has been so fortunato a« to
enjoy the protection of the strong arm of
tho (leneral Government, sooner than
other sections,( and for which they are not
entitled to any merit of their own ) iu or
der to hasten the restoration of civil gov
ernment in the State, have adopted a new
constitution and elected a Legislature
which has passed I bwh , yet 1 feel author
ized to suy that it was with no intention
of forestalling or denying your rights to
participated the making ot the fundamen
tal, as well us all othor laws.
In conclusion, I assure you that no one
is rtiore anxious t-o have tho whole 8tate
represented in all genoral ejections, and
particularly for the office of Governor,

Governor of Louisiana.

Shrereport, La„ June 11th, 1865,
General Orders N». 24.
Great and sudden changes in the condition
anv class of people are always productive
suffering, and the tran ition of the blacks from
state of slavery to freedom caunot fail to cau.se
temporary suffering to all classes. Already this
is being manifested by the negroes leaving their
homes and setting out en masse, for the military
posts, aad with no definite purpose, except
leave the scene of their former bondage.
The result of this state of things, if allowed,
would be—
1st. The loss of the crops and the outire ruin
the agricultural interests in this part of the
Stat».
2d. Untold suffering, starvation and misery
among the blacks themselves.
Without attempting, therefore, to regulate all
the various interests arising out of this question,
aud which pertain properly to the Freedman's
Bureau, the Major General Commanding deems
his duty to make such rules as in his opinion will
best prevent suffering and restore quiet at the
present time. It is therefor* ordered that ail
persons heretofore held as slaves remain for the
»resent, with their former masters, and by their
abor secure the crops of the present sttasnn. The
only place where they can obtain a living for
themselves and their families is in the field,
where they have been accustomed to work
found wandering about the country, or gathering
at military posts, they wii' be arrested and pun
ished, anu all transports and private steamboats
running on Red River are prohibited from carry
ing this class of people except upon a written
pass, which will be given only in exceptional
cases. If necessary lor them to leave home or
visit any of the military posts, they will be fur
Dished with a pass by their employer t« prevent
their arrest as vagrants. But while it is found
necessary during the present unsettled state of
the country to make these orders relative to the
blacks, the planters are reminded that 'he mat
ter depends largely on them, and that only by
fair treatment of the haads can they hope to ma
ture and harvest their crops and carry on their
plantations.
DSuite contracts must be made with the ne
Kroes, wbich will be binding for the balance of
the present season.
Planters who endeavor to de this in good faith
will be assisted in all proper ways, and it will do
much towards restoring quiet and conSt'euce.
