From H. W.
Nov. 15. The people are quite disturbed about General Saxton’s new order, which Mr. French and Judge Smith have been trying to explain to them at church;—in vain, apparently,—for some of the most ignorant of our people thought they should be obliged to buy land, and came to C. in distress at leaving the plantation. Others we hear are selecting their lots, but now comes General Gillmore’s order to stop all sales; I am afraid these poor people, who hate all change and “confusion,” will have their brains hopelessly confused.
