We have reoeived reports from twenty of the

that in several of these there arc ulan; destitute

thc basis of a new effort, which, under thc blob

the Churches had reported. fully, not lese thou

magnitude and importance of the work is, there

Siaco the efforts of tho Committee began, pub.
lie attention bas been engrossed, and ali our ener

four years, arc now returning boute, at prisoners

up their .aran uni H tha conditions haVe been per
formed upoa which their captivity hus been ter

The Government o' the Confsd^raie States, in
rue creation of which South Carolina united with
ber H is ter States, haa suspended-ita military nu
tbority, and the high duty of providing mensures
for the welfare nf its citizens, by a stem ntccasi
ty, hu - been devolve*?'upon thc Government of tho
State. ,
To'thU unexpected^ termination .of thc active
powers of Government, in' pelee and in wnr,
which South -Carolina? granted to the common
l,Gi>verno\ent ot tue Confedera?* Stutts, circum

I ou?of peculiar embarrassment. Deeply suffering

? oonsiderable pcriion of its population ; which
threaieus.a largowpottion, and may invalve the
whole of it iu the suffering which,waaf, approach

The liirge supplies contributed to Hie support of
j tho armies of tho Confederation had boen giveu
at a>time when abundance enabled thc population
to bear its withdrawal witbo'it'ft^gravateil suffer
ing. But the great destruction ?if means of sub
sistence at tho present time, sud thc difficulties of
securing it in tho future by the next crop, bad
even before tho reverses-which befell the urtu ie*
of the Confederation, satisfied.ail that it would
be impossible to part with thu sippiies which bad
boen gathered for tho annies, without destroying
thc support of tho population, in inauy portions
of the ?tate. And attempts were made to iuform
thc authorities *of the Confederate Gov err-iceni,
that not only the apprehension, but tho cert linty
of evil conseipjenees would prevent the removal
of all such supplies.
With the disioluit ??n DI tho armies of tho Con

ceased ; with tho.removal oi.that'ncces-i'.y arises
