To my first nasaago,ia January last, in commending to yonr favorable con sidcrution the (lootgia law, I recommended ' a reduction of tha namber of.acres below " fbree. With the lights now before ns, I rOoommer.d an amendment of your Act so a* to prohibit the planting over a half, or ?t most, one acre 10 the fOl( band, and that the hands to be enumerated shall only be vwch as work in the orop. 1 invite your first attention to fh:a subject, and recommend, iii the event a farther rostrietion is 'imnosod. that the two *??!??* ?,k- 1 - ? ?| n? >??UJ MIV Act iimucJiatoly a Per its passage.

Un tier those circumstances, I have called into exercise the power Conferred qpor. me by the Constitution, to prohibit, tor thirty days, the exportation <p provisions from the Utata, hut with some modifications which I Nit W6re due to our mor ??wl ?

I have not gone, so. far beyond the retention of these article* within-the limits of the State, and your acttoo 14 requisite to eoebla me to oarry fully iota offset this clause of the Constitution, ss aUo to ooutieue the prohibition without interruption, if you should deem H advisable.

The enormous protits on whiskey afford, apparently, an irte sistibln iodueeuient to distil grain, and the unwillingness of the eitirens and oihiciala to givs information and prosecute i? such that the consumption of grain by diet ilk lion, without any permit, is a great evil.

Wht>? our soldiers ere proving thomseivss stjfoal to the enemy everywhere, we at home may ruin our cause by an unwise failure properly to develope our resources sod preserve our supplies. The two greet questions with us ere finances and oaf supplies. The Confederate Govsrhmsnt is endeavoring to regulate the former?the latter the State Governments mud the people themselves most regulate; and upon them rests a heavy responsibility. The Act to supply negro labor for ooast defences, experience has shewn, oannot be niade effectual for the accomplishment of its objects. I have ascertained, from the United States Oensus of 18b0, an abstract of which is herowith transmitted, (kal ?- ? ? - a. IU?I nvii umniuUf H HOW irrMllpM (DO Act, oontamed then at least five times as many road hands as are called for by the Coufedent'e General, and at thisjuncture, doubtless,'contains tnore Not over ouchalf of tho rond hands of any one Winston has heretofore been sent to the eoast. If, therefore, each division would furnish one* half of its force not heretofore sent down, (that is, one-fourth of its whole force,) it would afford largely more (halt the number oailed lor. But the scerwd division, the only one whose time so far has arrived to respond to the?cali for its half, has furnished leas than one-fifth of the number oailed for by the Confederate General. While a distrust as to the treatmeut of the ne grocs, and also as to their prompt return, deters some fiotn sending their portion of the labor, the fine is too light to comp.l any. If that were adequate, the prooese el collection is too alow; each fine, by law, having to be sued for in the Court of Geetwron-Pleaa, after being asaosaed and u- ? ? oimvuvj luvuuiuuiimiuiier. adu wnen collected, there is still no authority fur the Ceuiuumionere to pay the sum to the &tate Agent, who mi^bt therewith proen re other labor. Some wore expeditions mode for procuring the labor, and imw*ing and colteotiog the fines, will .bajioV) be adopted to secure the Buccm^pf the" schema. Somo Commissioners hare doubted er lew than a quorum of the B-wrd c fill vacancies. Many Commissioners beC ing in the army, it may be well for the Legislature at ita present session, for this particular purpose, to fill the vacancies, aad so to amend the Act that one or more Commissioners may appoint the number requisite to constitute a quorum, the vacancies to be fi-led from among such as are exompt from road duty, if necessary. I hersaith transmit s copy of a rcoent oorrespondenoo with Col. John S. Preston, eommandant of Cooseripu for .South Caro Una, upon e subject which I presume will give rise to no enibarrassnieat.
