Circular :
All persons, formerly slaves, are earnest}/
enjoined to remain with their former pasters
under such contracts as may be made fot the
present time. Their own interest as vrell as
that of their former masters, or other parties
requiring their services, renders such a
course necessary, and of vital importance
until permanent arrangements are made un-
der the auspices of tho " Freedman's Bu-
reau."
It must be borne in mind-in this connec-
tion, that cruel treatment or improper use of
the authority given to employers will not be
permitted ; whilst both parties to the contract
made will be equally bound to its fulfilment
upon their part.
No persons formerly slaves wiil be permit-
ted to travel on the publie thorough-fares
without passes or permits from their employ-
ers ;-or to congregate in buildings or camps
at, or adjacent to, any military post or town.
They will not be subsisted in idleness, or iu
any way except as employees of the govern-
ment, or in cases of extreme destitution or
sickness ; and in such cases the officers au-
thorized to order the issues shall be the judge
as to the justice of the claim for such sub-r
sistence.
Idleness is sure to be productive of vice—
and humanity dictates that employment be
furnished these jeople—while the interest
of the commonwealth impératively demands
it, in order that the present crop may be se-
cured. No person white or black, and ■who
are able to labor, will be subsisted by the
government in idleness, and thus hang as a
dead weight upon those who are disposed to
bear their full share of the public burdens.
Provost Marshals and their assistants
throughout the, District aré charged with
using every means in their power to carry
out these instructions in letter and spirit.
By order of Maj. Gen. GRANGER.
R. G. Laughlin, Lieut. Col. and
Pro. Mar. Gen. Dist. of Texas.
/^"All of our Texas Exchanges will copy
the above Circular one month and send bills
to the 1< cal Provost Marshal of tho nearest
Post.

Now is the time fo make a general effort
in behalf of the education of our rising race.
The situation and best interests of our coun-
try inlperiously demands that such an effort
shonlf be made. Many of our youih have
spentlhe last four years of their lives in
the army when they «hould have been at

but just commenced; m very few was it any
thing like finished. To all such school in-

account of an outbreak there, during which
Cabanas made his «scape. Another report,
however, states that he was killed.

have been received here. Thoy Ptate that

them? Will ministers of thp pulpit'( Will

Houston, June 30, 1865.
Ed". Bulletin.— The "Telegraph." of
the 28th inst., publishes, without comment,
an article from the N. O. Picayune, which
grossly misrepresents the Union men of
rIVxas. If that puper was disposed to deal
¡ justly, and in g >od laith, " accept the situa-
tion ," there never was a finer of port unity
offered, than to have exposed the falacy of
the article referred to.
It is asserted that many outrages have
been perpetrated by the " Union men."
The people of this Slate know it to be false.
But the authorities lately arrived among
us wre yet to be informed, and there was
none so competent as the " Telegraph " to
have performed that duty.
"During the last lour terrible years, the
"Union men " acquiosced to force, and in
no instance attempted to retaliate for the
outrages they suffered, and now, in the tri
umph of their principles, they see the hurni
liation of their enemies, and would gladly
leave tliein to repentence ajid temorso.

dose many " acts of violence " upon ' sua
pected" Union men, but no evidence what-
ever that the "great mass of the people"
done anything to discountenance or arrest
them. Law abiding people of every class
were powerless, and listened in amazement
when Governors, Generals, Colonels and
canting priests, by inflammatory harrangues,
would arouse the mobspiiitof the country
to hang and murdér the " suspected." The
insults and wrongs were all on one side, and
we are now cooly informed the " Union
men," too, have somewhat to atoiie for.
No, sir, the Federal army cornes to Tex-
as for no suc^i purpose, but I rather suspect
to quell that haughty spirit that boasts that
"though our soil may be overrun, the spirit
of our people is invincible." No man can be
oí any service in the reorganization of civil
government tare who presists iii misrepre-
senting the Union men of this State, with
no little knowledge of their hopes, as well
as feari. I can truly say the Union men
have no wrongs to revenge. They would
ignore the past, only as it might furnish
mournful lessons for our guidance in the fu-
ture, and "with malice toward none, and
charity for all," grasp the preseut and with
hearty good will address themselves to tht;
glorious work of buidirig up the yuirted for-
tuuesi of our country. Douglass.
