The ? xtra Session of the Legielatare? Governor's Message.' The called session of tlie General As sembly of this State, was opened in Columbia last Friday night. A quorum was present in both Houses and the following Message fr >m Governor Bouhani was re coived, read and appropriately referred : Executive Department, Columbia, Apr I 3, 1663 feniUmen of the Striate and House of Representatives: Since your last adjournment, a mighty stride towards despotism has been made by the Government of the North, indicative of a fixed purpose on ihe part uf the dominant party, rf possible, to conquer onfl rlaelvrtu llio Qahi l> Tko ?n?l ^ ^ -? ?? , purse have been placed almost absolutely at the disposal of their President, in utter disregard of the Feberal Constitution, making bim virtually a despot. So far from this exciting a spirit of resistance, as many base vainly expected, from every portion of the North there comes now nothing hot the note of preparation for a vigorous prosecution of the unholy war.? she moat sanguine must have abandoned all hopes of peace from foreign inlerven tion or negotiation ; from esheustion of the enemy's mm and means, or from such resistance on the part of his subjects to Lincoln's tyranical rule. With his con trol of the purse and power of draft there will be no iacfc of men for bis armies. It does not become us,' then, to shut our eyes to the fact that there can be no reasot able hope of peace with his consent during his term of office, it only remains for the people of thie Confederacy, through themselves and their constituted State and Confederate authorities, to make ad equate preparation to repel successfully ' the vanda! attack. In their hands are ibeir own destinies. With a country rich in ell the resources which eonstitu'e the wealth of a nation; the finest type of Government that the world ever beheld ; a refined, cultivated and enlightened peo* pie; an army perhaps not surpassed, at any period of -time, in all that man in every age hna held dear ; it ia their mis ion to go on making every preparation, submitting cheerfully to every sacrifice, and pulling forth vigorously every effort necessary to secure the great boon which '.heir fathers bequeathed them ? independence. This state of our foreign relations, and important developments in our owr. inter nal policy, which I shall proceed to indicate, have induced me tu convene your bodiee. tfucb measures ss you in your wisdom may deviae to meet the emergen* ey, I shall heartily endeavor to carry into fleet. It it itsch to be feared that while your ^ct to limit the production of cotton to ' three MfM to the full hand will restrain ueb ae baring overflowing grainaries j contemplate withholding their grain from martial and planting cotton almost eiclu* airely, it baa jet induced many, as J am j informed, who propoae planting little, if ^ an j, cotton, to plaat the full number of ( acres allowed by lew. And tbie it justi led upon the groend that your statute is t equivalent to aanonncemeat by the choe t ' '"W1 eu Representative* of the people that such ] a course in not unpatriotic If this feel- ^ yo ing prevails extensively, it will be readily i yo perceived what must be the result. All I tin fertilizer* will be put on the cotton lands, j w< to stimulate them to the highest produc ! pr tion, while the corn lands will be thus m proportionately impoverished. In iny re firs', message, in January last, In com monding to vour favorable consideration ze the <*eorgia law, I recommended a re- , pi daction of the number of acres below i gi three. With the lights now before me, | i* J recommend asi amendment of eonr A t j cc so as to prohibit the planting over a halt, j in or at most one sere to the full hand, and | T that the hands to b<> euumerateJ shall I C only be such as work in the crop. I in? th vke your first attention to this subject,? in and recommend, in the event a further pi restriction is imposed, that the two Houses m ratify the net immediately after its pas- ca sage. d< The spirit of specu'iHtion has recently sn made such alarming strides in this State | u< as to render your interposition necessary T to arr?sl the evil. Large sums are in or vested in Hour, corn, bacon and other ar til tides of prime necessity, to the monopoly t! almost, of such articles in certain sections re f the country, ami they are withheld from market, or nre being exported bo d< yond the limits of tire State, to the great b? enhancement of price*, and to the inani m fest injury of the consumer*, especially fr< the families of tt.ose whose producing an fcrce is in tlie nrmv. Under these cir mi cumstnnces, I hrwe called into exercise rai the power conferred upon me bv the lea Constitution, to prohibit, for thirtv davs, I are i competent Agent, itibject to tli? control j >f tbe Executive. Hut Lite trial iiied* of tr0< be present system does not ennble me o meke Any definite recommendation on Dte' bit pOIOt. V iho exportation of provisions fium this am State. but with soma modification* which in [ felt were due to our sister States and hat he Confederate Government. I have not bee jone, so far, beyond the retention of esc liese srtitles within the limit of the State fore tnd vuur action is requisite to enable me foui o carry fully auto effect this clause of larj he Constitution, as a'so to continue the l?u irohibitin sriihout interruption, if you win hould deein it advisable. I recommend por he passage of an Act which will author ishi x? tiie Governor, through proper agents, call o dispose, at their market value, of stub WI irticles as have been or may be seized in the runstlu, and after paying all expenses reti ucurred out of the pioceeds, to retain a pot lertain proportion,to l>e distributed among to < lie Soldiers' Hoards of Ke! ef, the remain- the ler to be returned to the owner?or such 'in< ither appropriate legislation as you may Co may deem belter adapted to the esse. 1 see also recommend that you adopt some leg- ers illation to arrest the nurchase and mot. no opoly of articles of prime tiecessitv, even pa when it is not intended to ex|>ort them mi beyond the limits of "the State. The mo" So nopoly and withholding from market of rin uppdea is most detrimental to the true tin interests of the whole couiftry, now in. t-> volved in sych a war as lias not been seen in modern times. wl Your Act, ratified 18;h December last, e? to suppress the undue distillation of spir be iU from the Cereal grains of the State, he though stringent in its penalties, does not pa accomplish its object. 1 ain informed of an numerous violations of its provisions in mi various portions of the Stile, but have nil not yet heard of the first prosecution.? tin Indeed, I learn froin some of the most re* sin pectable citizens that no one seems will nei ing to become an informer. It m'ght be well to give the informer coi one-half the fine, but I am free to confer-* Pr 11)Ht I <lot>l?t it* success ov#?n then. Some So very worthy citizen* of the Stele, have pr< urged the Executive to employ agents mr for the purpose of suppressing unlicensed Ex distillation, which, of course, he has not ac< the power to do. This is a crying evi1, ju?l and mostly felt in the grain growing Dis Le| tricts, where the distilleries have hereto sot fore heen most abundant. The complaints atr to me fiom these sections are so nutner Ac Otis that this object constitutes one of the de< principal objects of your convocation. yoi The permits authorized by me under sd< the proviso in the Act to distill a limited quantity, for medicinal purposes only, is bu as yet probably fsr short of the absolute ion medicinal wants cf the whole State. For mi| many Districts there have been, and Joublless will be, no applications. I re ^ gret to say that I hear rumors of under letting and violations of the contracts, though not in any tangible form, which early steps will be taken to investigate The sale under the contracts I have en Rn' leavored to gnur<1 lit every possible way. I am not sure but lliai all distillation "for ' Medicinal purposes aloue" should be bin- 'J111 ted to a single District, ssy the central ^ District of ths State, under the charge of j The entire subject is commanded to t ur earnest consideration, iuul I trust \ u will devise some means by which the due distillation of the cereals (and 1 < juld add molasses) may be, for the I < esout, effectually supposed. The enor- i ouso profits on whisky afford, appa itIv, an irresistible inducement to distil I ain, and the unwillingness of the cili- i # ? _ ns and officials to give information and osocute is such that f.hc consumption of j ain by distillation, without any permit, j a great evil. All supplies which the ! uutry atTorJs are needed for our nrmies I tbo field and our peop'e at home.? liero is no limit to the capacity of the < oufedera> St* es now to produce every- l ling requisite to carry on the war for an 1 definite period.
