C., March 16, 1SC3. j 1 ejEED TIME IS AT HAND, UNACCOMPA ?3 NIED WITH the prospect of a speed j peaoe. tOur foes have given absolute control of their 'purse aud sword to tho tyrant-Lincoln. Another year, and perhaps more, of tierce war is upon us. From thc enemy's fleets aud armies we need fear but little: from thu nawise production of Cotton, much. With tho supply, on hand, its production now is nut necessary to tho success of our cnuse, and can be dispensed with for years to come. The Suites not iu possession of the enemy must pro duce supplies for themselves, our armies in the held, and thc families <>f our soldiers. ^ Now, tUorerore^I, MI LL ED GE L. BONHAM, Governor of South Carolina, do isrue this my Proelumution, and urge all tue good citizens of the State, dismissing all considerations of mero gain, to plant and raise all the provisions of every description in thoir power. Lei him who bas cot ton seed enough to plant another year and lint enough for domestic consumption, [liant uot ono siied. This is a time to try our putriotism. A great people will rise to great occasions. We chum to have descended from a race who wou indepen dence against immense odds after a seven years' war of hardship and pr. valions fargrea'er than we have yet endured. Let us enact history worthy of such nu ancestry. Our gallant soldiers hare won imperishable renown in the li old, aud will do s i sguin ami again. Our women are making sac rilices worthy of any age. If we but do our duty, all will ho well ; aud we shall, with the blessing of God, wear out aud prostrate our malignant and hateful foe. Io order to secure concert of action, I recom mend to the citizens of lite State to assemble at their respective Court Houses on Sales Day in April next, and in that spirit of putriotism which has heretofore characterized them, resolve to car ry out these sugtrestbms. Other States are taking steps to attain this object; let it not be said that we will not make every sacrifice which patriotism demands.
