Thou.- are so many needy porsoua in Charleston, dependent upon public charity for a living, that the City Countihliax been obliged to adopt uicaauiea lor piocuiing supplies, in large quarttitias, Iioiii a distance. 'I lia salvation ofCiiai* lesion, it is said, depends, in a ineasuie, upon (ha success of these vflbiU. Mr Uebaoti inform* us that he has piocured iu this District about twenty live hundred bushels of com and one bundled barrels of flour, lie will remain in this vicinity lor sevcial days longer, and we hope that all who have a surplus will feel it (heir duty to sell a portion to hiui ; retaining, of course, a sufficiency for the wants of the needy ill their respective neighboi hoods. Wa do not |up|H>sc that either the City Council of Charleston or the Government would want tup. plies when procured at the expense of our own poor, the seeming belief of nisny persons to (lie contrary notwithstanding. There is enough for all if wisely distributed, and for tins the producers aru responsible to God and their country. Tax In Kind for Soldier* Families.

It is eiprclsd, therefore, that this aula jest will eng'ige the attention of the ueit legislature.
