II. Tho Coiifederato authorities havo made a requisition
upon the Suite lor Two Thousand laborers monthly.
Tho proportion oConc-fourth heretofore called for, had
failed to supply halfof this number. In vie,\v of this
fact and the groat urgency of tho domnnd for Inbor at
this time, it. is deemed oxpediqut to shorten the interval
between the calls, and increase the quota. This is
no violation-of tho law. for it does not'fix iho quota of
labor, uor the interval between the calls;but prescribes
that such proportion shall be called f?>r as will till the
requsition, giving thirty days notice. Each Division

quota, and no injustice will be (ione to eny.

who own or employ more than one road hand, are required
to furnish their quota, (one-half) unless relieved

Cglumbta, Sept. 5, 1664.
To ihc Citizens of South Carolina :'
rjHHRGALLANT ARMY OF TENNESSEE
has been compelled by nnmbei's to evacuate
Atlanta. Whilst the Confederate authorities
will doubtless do their duty through the
An'nv and the State Reserves, now organize'd
and in the fluid, under Brigadier General Cheanut,
towards the defence ot the State, the present
military condition-of the countrv reanirchi
. / 1
that every nja'n who can wield a weapon should
be in sonic organization for the attainment of
the same object.
The annexed orders-provide for such organizations
as the Executive is authorized to re
quire under the law ; and it is expe'eted that
every otic who is 'liable will, without excuse,
rally to the colors of the State in his appropriate
organization.
But the loroo now most useful for "all our
military purposes is a mounted force\ and that
(it can only be- voluntary). I conjure' the
yeomanary of the State, by every consideration
of interest and patriotism at once to organize.
Let it be formed without reference to age.?
Many a man over 5Q will make as - efficient a
mounted soldier.as others half his years. In
'51 the State, then looking to the possible conflict
which is now upon us, could bonst as gallant
i> body of mounted men, many of tliem
now over 50, as ever flAslied ^nbrein the face
of a foe. Many of them are cfoing good in the
' field. Let those at home unite with their
younger fellow citizens in organizing companies
for mounted service. Each man must
1 mount nnd equip himself, except n# to a carbine,
whicb, of the most approved kind, the
{State will furnish. ' :
Tlie horses (one to each officer and man) upon
being registered with the Captains of Companies,
as also the equipments, which (the
horse and equipments) shall be used for military
purposes, will be exempt from impressment,
seizure, distress and execution.
If in a regiment or district enough do not
unite to form a compan}*, let them organize
with from 15 to 30, electing a lieutenant, unite
witli some oiganizalion in another regiment or
district, so as to make up a company".snd selecting
a captain, determine the rank of their
lieutenants by lot or otherwise. Upon the or-^
gauitation of companies having in the aggregate,
including four (4) commissioned and eight
(S) non commissioned officers, not less than
sixty-eight (OS), they will bo received and
armed ; and when the number of companies is
sufficient, will be organized into haltrtlious and
regiments by the election of field officers.
All persons nabic to service, who e.'o not attach
themselves to a mounted company, will
be organized in one of the two classes embraced
in the annexed order from the Adjutant and
Inspector General's Office.
Citiz<'iis of South Carolina 1 You entered
this contest resolved to live free or perish.
Your brothers, sons and fathers of the array
and State Reserves are already 111 the field,
Place yoursolves.by their sides and make good
your determination, that no foul minion of the
despot Lincoln should ever place, with impuni
ty, his unhallowed footprint on tire soil of yom
State. You have never 1 .wronged j*otir foes.
Make them rue the dav tiiey attempted to efface
you from your heritagb and give it to others.
The ray of hope which sotnp sanguine
persons supposed they saw in the Chicago Convention
has gone out in darkness. Bo not do
ceived. There is no prospect of peace frorr
that quarter. Peace is to be obtained alone
under the blessing of God, through your forti
tude, your sacrifices and your own strong arms
