People of the State of South Carolina THE surrender of the army under the com? mand of Gen. Lee in Virginia, has been followed by the surrender of the army under the ootnmtmd of Gea. Johnston in North Caro lina. To these armies,South Carolina has con tributed, with Tory inconsiderable exceptions, ber entire male population. The brave men in these armies Who hare survived the bloody war of the psaj, four ye?re, are sow returning home, aa prisoners of war, on their parole; and unable "again to take up their arms tntil the conditions hara been performed upon which their captivity has baan terminated. The Government of the Confederate State?, in the creation, of which South Carolina united with har elster States, baa suspended ita eivil and military authority, and the high duty of pro vid ing measures for the welfare of its citizens, by a stern necessity, bas been devolved upon thc Government of the State. In this unexpected termination of the active powers of. Government, in peace and in* war, which South Carolina granted to the common Government of the Coo faders* ted States, cir? cumstances have rendered tb? condition of this Stat? on? of peculiar embarrass nent. Deeply suffering from the consequences of the war, in many respects, in Bone ia that suffering more peculiarly trying than in the misery which now afFeets a considerable portion of its popu lation; which threatens a larger portion, and may involwe the whole of it in the suffering which vaut, approaching starvation, bas pro dueed and will produce. The large swpplie? contributed td the support of the armies of the Confederation had.been given at 4 time when abundance enabled the-population to bear ifs withdrawal without aggravated suffering. Bui the great destruction of means of subsistence at the present .time,an? the difficulties of si curing it in tho future by the next crop, had. even belove the reverses which befell the armies of the Confederation,'satisfied nil thal it woo'd be impossible to part with the supplies which had been gathered for the armies, without de stroytiig the Ruppert o?" the population ia many portie nt? of the State. And attempts'were made to inform the authorities of the Confederate ? Government, that liut only the. apprehension but the certainty of evil corseqiiekces would prevent the removal of al! su-.-ii -?upplie*.. VTith the di-soluiiou of the armies of tho Confederation, the necoasrty for these supplies has ceased; with the removal cf that necessity - arises the stronger obligation ripon ibo au thorities of tho State, to preserve thesasiippln for the mitigation of the suffering of the people of the State. To that eui therefore, ?tia now declared that all ?ebeietcnce stores pro ?>er4y of the Confederate Slates within th? -nuila o"f the State** should be turned over'tn md accounted for by the uyevjts of the State appointed for that purpeaa. Tba subsistence fud other stores to ba med for t!u relief of the ,>cople of Ute State, sud the other property of .vhatever kind to bc held for" the common '?enefit of the State, and subject to sues) diBti i >ut:on ss maybe hereafter determinad upea by the proper authorities of?>j.e Statu. It will he re-cognized as a duty iu the high? est decree obligatory upon the agents of the .late who will receive these supplies, to pro. 'ide out ?if them freely to the soldiers of thia or other States patting through our limita who may ace* aid** Sabjeet to thia olaiat. all such .applies will ba held fbr the purpose of famish? ing subeistenee and support to the thousands who in different parta of the Stet? are new .destitute and in want of food, and whose su'f farir-r caa onlr be alleviated hy thia disposition of these sappho*.. .

' ? % * HE A DQTJ ARTERS, COLUMBIA, April 80, 1868.^ 1THB representation* which hare.hean e made to me of the gepeeal practica ef distillation of liquor? by persons vito have not obtained that authority which the laws of tho j Stete require, arc so general that there can bc no doubt of the great raiaehief which is now a (Tee ti ng thc people af the State. That th* laws of the State should-bc openly violated, ia of itself, a pu bi io wrong, than which nene caa be greater and which mast be redressed. That the purpose for which these laws are violated should be productive of thc ccrtaia*raisary and unhappiness of the people of the State, is an. occasion which calls for the united action of .all good citizens in maintaining thc integrity of the laws, and protecting th? lives and fortan,?a of their fellowmen. 2. For thc informatica ?f all pencas, it ia now proclaimed that the laws which ar? ot loree io th? State of Sontb Carolina, and which ahme by compliance with th?ir provisions render lawful the distillation of liquor?, are te he strictly en forced. To theso laws attention is required; obedience is doe and mast ba given. 8. It ta the dvty of all portons having rea? sonable*' ground for the suspicion that these laws arc violated, to give information there**, ? that each violation may be prevented ?Tad punished. . . 4. Under whatever other pretext, justification, or excuie may be sought for these practice*, it is sufficient pow to proclaim that thc law? of the State atfard the only sanction which caa bb h id,' and that these laws alone fndieate the mude in which that sauclionvea? be obtained.' 5 Sheriffs ef the State, and all magieaaatce fit th different distriets of thc State, win*, with all dne diligence/ proceed to combine their of forts for the detection of those who are.guilty of a violation of, these fews; and, in all other respects, to secure that observance of the ca acunen ta of th? Sit Ue, which is alone consistent .viii: th? respect duo to its authority. - 6. All persons' engaged in the . distillation of liquors referred to in ?the laws of tho State, .viii be required to present the evidence.of the .utborTty given to them to coutiaae in-such business And in all cases when such authority is not exhibited, information thereof will bc communicated to the Prosecuting Officers of tua State, who may be appointed for th?-enforce? ment of the criminal laws*-of the land in that portion of the 8tnte where s neb violation may be Totiud.
