'^J'HEREAS the two Acts of Conscription passed by Congress have designated for Confederate service all from eighteen up to forty-five, and the President has, under these Acts actually called for all up to forty; and whereas he has agreed to accept, for temporary service on our coast, eight of the Regiments formed from our First Corps of State Reserves, and by thus accepting them has, for the period of ninety days, exempted all in those Regiments who were liable to conscription; and whereas this has deranged our whole organization of reserve State forces, and it is therefore necessary that there shall bo a further and immediate oiganization made for the internal defence and police of the States: i\Tow, know ye, that 1, FRANCIS W.PICKENS, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and o,rer the State of South Carolina, do hereby call upon all officers and good citizens to obey and enforce the resolutions of this date hereunto annexed. Gen. Beauregard has made an urgent appeal that the eight Regiments of Reserves recently ordered out shall be sent forward at as early a day as possible, and I do hereby call upon the officers who command those Regiments to bring them forward, as the defence of their State and country reqnircrs that they should report for duty at the earliest possible moment to the Confederate Generals in command. Our State is threatened, and our honor requires that every man shall do his duty. All personal feelings must be lost sight of and forgotten in the present emergency. Let there be no delay. In relation to the polico and internal safety of tho State, I trust that every man will be forthwith prepared to guard and protect the helpless and innocent from any of the dreadful consequences which our brutal enemies seem determined to inaugurate on or before the first of January next. With this view, I urge all between the ages of sixteen and sixty-five to enroll themselves according to the resolutions hereunto attached. All persons who may be taken in any attempts to produce disturbance amoggst our slaves or resistance ?o their masters, whether under commission or by orders from United States authority or not, shall be, if arrested by any State troops or State police, handed over to the authorities of the State alone, to be dealt with as felons. There never has been any period when our slaves were gcnorally more peaceable and properly disposed than at present, and I trust that no undue suspicion or unfounded rumors will receive any hasty credence. I do not expect anything serious from the infamous measures alluded to, but we owe it to our families and to the country to be active and guarded, bor the next three months let no citizen of South Carolina be careless or unprepared. Let all the District guards and police referred to in the resolutions below be immediately and thoroughly organized. Let there be a universal feeling of safety consequent upon strict organization and thorough preparation. In these perilous times, let there be no dissension or complaint at any temporary inconvenience or at any orders that may appear, at first, unnecessary. Let the men of age and worth step forward and set examples that all will feel and respect. The strength of the community consists in strict obedience to orders and to discipline. Wo nave no time to cavil. Let every man sleep by his armor. There will bo no danger unless from carelessness and neglect of duty. JLet the whole State, with one voice, rise tc the emergency, and we are safe from any foreign or domestic foe. Given under my hand and the great seal of the State, at Colombia, this the 7th day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundried and sixty-two, and in the eightyseventh year of the sovereignty and independence of the State of South Carolina F: W.
