North Carolina Lands are not likely to revert to the owners very soon. The following order has just been issued by General Howard: ‘ "Hereafter control over no property will be given up if such action is likely to result in suffering to refugees or freedmen, or to seriously inconvenience the operations of the Bureau. Such property will be retained until the necessity for its use has passed." ’
