We find in our Columbia exchanges anotlur proclamation from (lor. Pickens, calling for volunteers to rome forward without delay to defend the State. A bill has been pending in the Legislature, looking to the bringing of tbe militia of tho State into the field. Private reports, which have reached us, say that this bill lias passed. Tbo bill, according to (lie infouuatioii we have had, provides for the calling into tho field all per* j sons between the ages of 18 and 45, with the exception of fifteen men fioin each beat, adiwft 4 to determine those who are to be called out. Ladies Aid 8ociety. We have been requested by some of the Indies ot the Soldiers Aid Society at this place, to state that at a recent meeting of the Society, it was resolved that public notice he givcu that the Society is still desirous of aiding the soldiers ; and to this end solicits additional contributions tioin the people of the District. All who can spare material for clothing, blankets, comforts, or unything else that may be made to subserve the comfort of our volunteers, are respectfully asked to send it forward. The Society will un2 dcrtake to forward contributions to sny company from the District which the donors may select ; or if no preference is indicated, the [ Society will send it wrherever it seeuis to bo 1 most needed. Those who arc protected from the cold and damp atmosphere by comfortable bouses and oilier ordinary comforts and conveniences, are | respectfully asked to spare a portion of their M comparative abundance to relieve the urgent I necessities of the volunteers. There are perhaps hut few families in the District who could not, in the prcscut emergency, do with less than their ordinary supply of the articles needed hy the soldiers. They have expressed their giateful thanks for whut they have already re> k ccivcd in this way, hut at the same time we a at e told that more aid is imperil!vely needed. Their sole dependence is upon voluntary com 1 trihutions ; the Governuieut cannot supply A them with these articles, hence the alrsolule necessity of tho people continuing, through 9 the patriotic ladies of our District, the good I work which they liavo begun. Plant ProTUicntThe attention of our planting community is diiectcd to the eeusible article in this paper, signed "llcCottry." If we are resolved to wage this war successfully?to live free and in* dependent, it is of tho utmost consequence, cut off as wc arc from foreign supplies, that we uiakc diligent efforts to raise, not only onougk provisions for home consumption, hut a auffl j .ciency to f?ed our armies, it Is now pretty clearly foreshadowed that South Carolina is to ^ he a main thcatro of the conflict, and it will require an army within the State of from thir- ! | t, to fifty thousand men from this time until ,(he close of tire wsr. To feed theee, a large 1 .quantity of provision* will he neceecary, and it | must be produced within the Slate. Our peo> pie should seriously reflect upon this trailer ; it is an important subject?more important, and 1 1 infinitely more practicable, than the paaalng cf stay laws snd laws to regulste the pi ice of sslt and other commodities. Our farmers should all prcparo for grain crops the coming year, and as it will not require ss lauoh lal?or to make grain as it does to rear cotton and prepare it for market, the auiplus time may be devoted lo the manufacturing and making of family and j negro clothing, ire. We fear tiiat many of our I people bare not yet realized the magnitude of the criaia which ia upon u?, and the immcnae j Buffering and deep humiliation which ay**14 ua U we do uot sacrifice every other interval, but that which anbaervaa to proeecute and auppori thia war. Our individual aa well aa national aalvation depende upon our being abla to aue. ceaafully defend ouraelvea, and all tha energy and all the capital of tha country, ought, it* aoma form or other, be devoted to tha proafti cution of the war. Since writing tha al>ove, wa have clipped the lollowing ip point hum the Charleiton Vtcwry ; Adyick to thk I'l.aMTitRa ? In the cir. ^ euluf letter ol the Secretary nf l|ie i ? 41 m D m Mb nry on the produce loan, and the produce of cotton, the recommendation is made, that the planters should imme diately take menuurea for winter crops to relieve the deinunds for (rrniri and provisions, and thai they ahould proceed to divert part of their labor from cotton, and make their own clothing and supplies. We have n war of uncertain length before us, n restricted cotton markut, and consequent hard times. Provisions, clothing, shoes, &c., are high nnd in demand. These things our planters can raise and make. lost the planters enlarge the grain crops ; sow wheat, rye, harlev ; save peas, potatoes, pumpkins ; make their own clothing for family and negros ; and save hides and make shoes for themselves and slaves.? These things must he made in the South, and they never w ill be madu until the farmer and planter take an interest in their production or manufacture. The times nre tight with the planter, because he has nothing hut cotton to sell. They would be prosperous enough if he had wheat, corn, oats, beef, mutton, nor It ' * wo ahould then have heard nothing of the present expostulations of lite planting interest nbnut the need of money to purchase ordinary supplies, an i to discharge the Confederate war tax. A correspondent of the Columbia Guardian, writing from below, says : Tlio advance in our forces made in Hrig. (Jen. Drayton's occupation of Hluft'ion has been followed up by an advance of the several bodies near llardceville, including Col. DeSaussure's regiment, the 16th 8. C. V. Their postollice, however, is still llardecvil'e. Volunteer corps from the eastern districts, within the last few I days, have passed through Coosawhatchic to take position near ltlufflon. The prevailing impression in camp is, that Col. K. G. M. Dunnovaut is soon to be promoted to the rank of lirigadier-Genera). Two MotlR Xtw (iknrhai.s ?or tllr SoLTH Carolina Coast.?Private advices, (says the Charleston .1 ferenry,) have been received from | Richmond that Brigndier-Generals N. G- Evans and John C. Pcmberton have been ordered to repair immediately to conunauds which will be assigned them upon this coast. The Hero of Leesburg needs no introduction to the people | ol South (Carolina Gen.

During the Mexican war, he distinguished himself for bis gallantry in the successive coutlicts at Monterey, Cherubusco, Mnlino del Key and the City of Mexico.

' In conacquence of the invaaioti of South Carolina by an enemy gloating with spite, haired and revenge, It is altogether proper that the Stale should be fully prepared to meet tlie difficulties which may supervene 'pl:. - - " * um war, 10 nil nuuinn appearances, must continue for n long time ; nnd the noil of Sooth Carolina muat bo its theatre until it close*. A lnrge force will be required for defence, und Ibis force must bo provisioned, and the provisioning of this fjrco will main ly devolve often thu Slate of South Carolina. We must be prepared to supply this urmy froin our own resource*, otherwise, the most serious consequences may follow. We cannot reasounbly expect u supply from other source*, for some of the Stntcaof the Confederacy have already given evidence of their intention to take caro of themselves by confining the neeessaiies of living within their own limit*. The people of South Carolina must therefore look to her interest nnd their interest, nnd provide nn abundance of grain nnd ineat for the support of the army in the lield, nnd thn families at home. This should bo the firyt great care of the State. It is no longer a matter of choice hut a stein necessity.? Wo must now lay by "King Cotton," nnd take up tho still of life. last no more cot ton Ire planted while the wnr last*, nnd plant grain, and rni*e hogs mid other neccsBsries. Corn and flour and meat will provision the army, und also commund money when cotton will not. There is the blockade! It i* not too late yet to sow wheat. Flour will be chiefly used by the nrruy, nnd will be required immediately, and unless there is u large crop of wheat another year the price will be unprecedently bigh. l.ook to it, arid suit the action to^ the thought. With n large crop of wheat nnd oatn, the present crop of corn and wheal | will be greatly strengthened, and with n full 1 crop of coru another year, the stock of hogs ! and cattle can soon be increased, so as to meet the want* of the country. We have 1 miscalculated at Port Koyal, let us not fail In this matter, lest a greater evil come upon us. McCOTTRV. Virginia and South Carolina.?In his recent sble Message, Gov.

This announcement created considerable surprise ; and many express the opinion that Congress will refuse to confirm the nomination, inasmuch as it practically supersedes Gen. Price. No such nomination hus yet been presented to Congress. The weather here is cold and bleak ? There is no exciting or interesting news from the camps. There is no prospect of an engagement in any portion of Virginia.?

The Confederate steamship Xashville, from Charleston, had arrived snfcly at Southampton, and row bears the Southern flag in British water.

Nashvii.lk, Dec. 4.?A gentleman, just arrived from the urmy in Western Virginia, says that the campaign in that region is virtually ended for the winter. The nuture ot the country, want of forage and subsistence, and the condition of the roads, is likely to prevent nny aggressive movement on the part of either army. Floyd has fallen hack to a point within thirty miles of the line of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad. Gen; eral lairing still "holds his position near Cheat Mountain. It is announced that the enciny nre transferring many regiments from Western Virginia to Kentucky. A despatch to the Chicago Tribune, dated Washington Novomber 25 says that, according to trustworthy private letters from Europe, the Red Republicans of Austria, Poland, Italy nnd France, have made most ample preparations to rise, in case tho interference of England or France in the American war gives them an opportunity. The same despatch announces as "news from Richmond," that families there nre packing up their effects, and otherwise preparing to flee from an attack in the rear that the Rebel Government is believed to be removing its archives, and that the heat rebel paper money is held nt a discount of 30 per cent. The United States Postofllee estimates are said to b? reduced $3,000,000 this year, in consequence of the separation of the Southern States.
