It,was the privilege of the writer to he in intimate
association?aud liietuiship with the subject of these
remarks, and it was his sad duty lir-st to know and
convey the intelligence of his death to his - comrades

Having beeu returned in iheolliee under the new o:

distinguished gallantry won for him the esteem and
approbation ot his officers ami brother soldiers. A
vacancy having occurred by the retirement of the adjutant,
an application was forwarded to the war Department
by Col. iiASKKUlor his appointment to the
position. The appointment would undoiibtediy have
been made, hut tor the evacuation of Richmond and
the necessary suspension of all business, pending
which lie was killed.
Ho was distinguished for his high social and conversational
powers, being a lavoriie wherever he was

HEADQUARTERS,)
ColuMuia, May 2,186a. )
To the People of the State of
South Carolina.
The surrender of the army under
the command of Gen. Lee in Vir
ginia, lias decn followed by the surrender of
the army under the command of Gen. Joh9ton
in North Carolina. To these armies, Sonth
Carolina has contributed, with very inconsiderable
exceptions, her entire male population.
The brave men -in these armies who have
survived the bloody war of the past four years,
are now returning home, as prisoners of war,
on their parole ; and unahie again to take up
their arms until ^ho conditions have been performed
upon which their captivity has been
terminated.
The Government of the Confederate States,
in the Creation of which South Carolina united
with her sister States, lias suspended its civil
and military authority, and the high duty of
providing measures for the welfare of. its citizens,
hy a stern necessity, has Leon developed
upon the Government of the State.
Tn this unexpected termination of the active
powers of Government, in peace and in war,
which South Oaroliua granted to the comtnon
Government of the ConfederateStatcs, circumstances
have rendered the condition of this

suffering from the consequences of the war, in
many respects, in itmnc is that suffering more
peculiarly trying than in the misery which
unw affects a considerable portion of its population
; which threatens a larger portion, and
may involve the whole of it in the suffering
which want, approaching starvation, has produced
and will produce. The large supplies
contributed to the support of the armies of the
Confederation had been given at a time when
abundance enabled the population to bear its
withdrawal without aggravated suffering. But .
the great destructionid' means of subsistence
at the present time, and the difficulties of securing
it\in the future by the next crop, had,
even before the reverses which befell the armies
nf the Confederation, satisfied all that it would
be impossible to part with the supplies which
hail been gathered for the armies, without destroying
the support of the population, in many
portions of the S'ate. And attempts were made
to inform the authorities of the Confederate
Government, that not only the apprehension
but the certainty of evil consequences would
prevent the removal of all such supplies.
With the dissolution of the armieB of the
Confederation, the necessity for these supplies
has ceased; with the removal of that necessity
arises the stronger obligation upon the authorities
of the State, to preserve these supplies for
the mitigation of the suffering of the people of
the State. To that end, therefore, it is now
declared thai all subsistence stores and property
of the Confederate States within the limits
of the State, should be turned over to and
accounted for by the agents of the State ap
. i n it. i ' mi t i
pointed ior mat purpose* me suosisience
and other stores to be used for the relief of the
people of the State, and the other property of
whatever kind to be held' for the common
benefit of the State, and subject to such distribution
as may be hereafter determined upon
by the proper authorities of the State.
It will be recognized as a duty in the highest
degree obligatory upon the agents of the
State who will receive thege supplieB, to provide
out of them freely to,the soldiers of this
and other States passing through our limits who
may need aid. Subject to this claim, all such,
supplies will be held for the purpose of furnishing
subsistence and supports to the thousands
who in different parts of the State "are

T THE REPRESENTATIONS WHICH .
have been made to mc of the geeeni
practice of distillation of liquore by person* , *
who have not obtained that authority which
the laws of the State ^require, are so-general *
that there can be no doubt of the great mia*
chief which is now affecting the people of the
State. That the laws of the State should be *
openly violated, i9 of itself, a public wrong,
than which hone can be greater and which
must-be redressed. That thepurpose for which
these laws are violated shc&d be prodnetive of
the certain misery and untappiness ofUlie people
of the State, is an occasion whichrftils for
the united action of all good citizens in maintaining
the integrity of the laws, and protect- ' ing
the lives and fortunes of their fellow
men. 1 . ,
2. For the information of all persons, it ?
dow proclaimed that the laws which arc of
force in the State of South Carolna, and which
alone by compliance with their provisions ton* J
der lawful the distillation of liquors, are to be
strictly enforced. To these laws attention is
required j obedience is due and must be giv-*
en. v
3. It is the duty of all persons having regsonable
ground for the suspicion that .these . \ V
laws arc violated, to give information thereof, "
that Mich Violation mav bo nrowon*/wt ??-!
?- - - ??. J w |r?vTvu?wf HIM ~*i(A"
punished. *-' *
4. Under whatever other pretext, justification
or excuse may be sought for these practices,
it is sufficient now to proclaim that thtf
laws of the State afford the only sanction which
can be had, and that these laws alone indioafe 1
the mode in which that sanction can be ob?
tainod.
5. Sheriffs of the State, and all magntrntar
in the different districts of the State, will, with
all due diligence, proceed to combine' their
efforts for the detection of those who are gnilty
of a violation of these laws, nnd, in all other
respects, to secure that observance of the en- ,
actments of the State, which is alone consistent
with the respect doe to its authority.
6. All nersons enorae'fid in lTin . \
- r o~o ?? '
liquors referred to iu the laws of the State,
will be required to present the evidence of the
authority given to them to continue in 8Mb
business. And in all cases when sucb atrtbttt
ity is not exhibited, information thereof wiffbtf '
communicated to the Prosecuting Offices*^-of ?
the State, who may be appointed for the aa*
forcement of the criminal laws of the* land in
that portion of the State where such TiohtxM ?
may be found. < .
7. The Auditor-General of tb? State, Jim
