It wjw proposed al the lixtra Session to raise funr hundred thousand dollars, by is>uiiifx Stat? bonds,to arm.the Stab* and prepare for li??r dcfeueo, but for want of time, no decision was made on the proposition. In the mean time, however, and with great promptness the Hank of Charleston, through i:s President, telegraphed to me that it would take one hundred thousand dollars' worth of the bond* of the Slate at par; and since then a f'oiniul resolution of its hoard has I it en sent me to the same eftVct. This act of rritriotic dutv. on tlie nart of tlie 1? ink of Charleston, merits yoltr highest commendation, sets hii example of love to tlie State1.Mid devotion to her cause, worthy "of general imitation.

An .
