From the Richmond Dispatch, 12/27/1862, p. 2, c. 6

TO OWNERS OF SLAVES OR THEIR AGENTS – We take this method of saying to those of whom we have hired negroes the past year, and upon whom we are unable to call, that if they will return their hands to any of our furnaces, or to these works, we will allow them the highest market rates for such hands the ensuing year.
