The Annu- i al meeting of the Stockholders will be 1 held at the Depot in this place, on Tuesday next, on which occasion the < Stockholders and their families will 1 be passed up and down the Road/ree, then and the day after. 20TH MARCH. 186*2. This day, throughout the State, the i militia are to be enrolled, preparatory ! to a conscription to fill a requisition of ! the Confederate Government for 5000 men to serve for and during the pnes- 1 ent war. Volunteering is, after to- I day, at an end, and an indiscriminate 1 system is to be adopted for the future 1 regiments. It is to be regretted that 1 the "democratic" features of the wargoing portion is blotted out, by an ap- 1 pointive power, but as it is likely that ' companies will be but fractional from * each portion of a District or Districts, . the powers that be have deemed such a course necessary, to which as peace loving citizens we may remonstrate, but must obey. The up-country, is, we think, properly jealous of the down-coun- j ty pressure for offices which they had < better fill at home. In the present is- ( sue we call attention to the communica- * tion of our correspondent "York," also J to the notices from the Executive De- } partment on our first page, the adver- ^ tisements on our 2d, and that of the ( Surgeon-General as to the exemptions ] that may be claimed. All the infor- 1 mation to be obtained, can be found in ' ' c our columns to-day. The Captains meet their Regimental ( Officers of the 34th Regiment, at Smith's old field, on .the 24th instant, when the 1 enrolment of the Regiment will be made, ^ and forwarded to the Adjutant General, ( who will decide whether or not it has its 1 quota made up. ^ For the Yorkvllle Enquirer. I In a recent Proclamation of the Gov- j ernor, we find attached the following t resolution: 1 "Resolved, That all Volunteer Com- 1 panies may elect their company officers; ? the field officers to be appointed by the t Governor and Council." It is a settled principle in our Gov- s ernment, that the people have a right of choosing their form of Government.? ^ It is this principle for which we are ( now contending, and for which, as a 1 people, we have given up the comforts of home, and perilled our all in this unholv and uncommon war. Before the t - . i first step was taken, as a people, we m-|s voked the guidance and the blessing of j1 the Supreme Ruler of the Universe.^ Shall South Carolina, who gave birth to; our holy cause, throw the first fire-brand11 of discord, and by the action of her | Executive Council, lay the axe atthej5 very roots of our success, in attempt- j ing to conduct the Government in op-1 position to the law of the land, and the! < will of the people ? What then is the meaning of the a- 1 bove resolution ? Nothing, save a positive and uncalled for usurpation of power. This power was twice refused the Governor by the Representatives 1 of the people, during the sessions of 1861 and 1862, of the General Assem- 1 blv of this State. y We say, uncalled for ! Does the success of our cause or safety of the State demand such a radical change, in oppo- , sition to the expressed will of the people ? There is no reason for that con- ' elusion. The people have responded with alacrity at every call of the State, and in accordance with the law, elected their field and company officers. Where is the error to be eradicated, in the volunteer system ? The volunteer system has worked well, in this and all ' other wars. The famous Palmetto Regiment should be sufficient. Were their officers incompetent ? Let the heroic conduct of officers and men on j the bloody fields of Coutreras, Churubusco, and Garita de Belen answer.? What then of the stubborn resistance and unsurpassed fighting of the volunteers on the ensanguined plains of Bull Run and Manassas. None can assert ! that the officers chosen by the people! in those battles, were incompetent.? | Then why, in the hour of our country's greatest danger, when we should be as!; C ~ one man, united from sea-board to ti mountains, to hurl from our border the myriad hosts of fanaticism, who* triumph would be our destruction !Whiy then this effort to degrade tl citizen soldiery of'South Carolina?\ convert her young men, and men < mature age into mere tools, levellin with mercenary regulars, subjects < despotic power, to be officered by me with whom they have no fellow-feeling and in whom they place no confidence And who will be the recipients of th usurped power ? Those who have fan ily influence to bring a pressure on th Executive Council. Are they not me cf like passions as others, influence more or less by the feeling of love an bate ? We are told the Convention grante iictatorial powers to this Executi\ Council; but for what purpose ? 1 set aside the laws of the land, lav which have been long tried, and neve been found wanting?this sacred pr< rogative of a free people to choose fc themselves ! We cannot think the Coi rention intended such to be the natui )f the unlimited powers granted. ] so, freemen of South Carolina, it time you should rally to the ballot-boj the only safeguard of liberty, and r< voke the powers thus abused by a bod called into existence for your protei tion, and not for your oppression. We know what we write, and wril what we know. We have cast our a in the balance in this struggle for sel government, and will cheerfully mali any sacrifice as a people, save that < self-respect and manhood ! We will abide by the laws and defer the Constitution of South Carolina i gainst tyranny and usurpation, no ma ter from what source it comes. L< this first act oj despotism be reseinde< md the people of the King's Mountai District, will rally around their com :ry's flag, and will be no laggards to fo low their chosen leaders, wherever tin lag may be borne. YORK. rERRIBLE BATTLE IN THE WES1 McCulloch and McIntosh Killed, Memphis, March 11.?Advices froi Fort Smith, of March 9, state that ou ;roops under Van Dorn and Price, er raged the enemy for three days ?5t ith and 7th?at Pea Ridge, Ben to bounty, Arkansas, near the Missoui ine. Our loss was heavy, includin jenerals McCulloch and Mcintosh vho were killed on the 7th. Gen. Stac vas mortally wounded in the arm.Uol. McRae was killed and Col. Sim voundedin the arm. Our forces ar n the rear of the Federals and drivin hem Southward, and are sanguine c mccess. [Official despatches have been receiv id in Richmond, confirming the above The troops on each side are estimate it 30,000. Our troops are badly arm id, but fighting like devils, and will c rentually defeat the enemy. The los >f life was enormous. The enemy's los s unknown.] Memphis, March 12.?A despatc rom Fort Smith says Capt. Rodger irrived in charge of the ammunitioi rain, and the official account of th >attle at Elkhorn. The fighting wa errible. The Confederates were most y armed with rifles and shot guns.PLott Mi!?rorp3 the enemv attain and a ' *1VV - # J -o jain, clubbing their guns and drivin, hem back from their first position. The enemv had taken a second am r . tronger position. When it became known to his troop hat Gen.

Fearful that McCulloch's troops woul ie disorganized, Van Dorn deemed i idvisable to withdraw. He renewe lie attack next day, and retired i splendid order, under cover of his ai iDlery. The attack was considered a brillian nanoeuvre. Mcintosh, at the head of his con nand, fell early ; also Hebert. Prisoners report the Federal loss a six thousand. The Confederates attacked the enem )n all sides, passing around them. Van Dorn says he is not whipped an cannot be, with reinforcements. We will soon have the Confederat ;rain on Boston Mountain, out of reac )f the enemy. This news is reliable. Richmond, March 12.?Gen. Va Dorn dispatches to the War Depari ment, under date of the 9th, that h was victorious on the 7th, and slept o the field of battle. On the morning c the 8th, in consequence of the death c McCulloch and others of the rig! wing, he deemed it judicious to altc his position, and withdrew his comman to a point west of Fayetteville, thirtee miles from the battle field?retiring i good order. The loss on both sides i heavy. This is reliable. Despatches have been received froi Van Dorn's command by a member ( Congress stating that Van Dorn an Price had by a flank movement turne the enemy's position and cut off h: baggage. Gen. Van Dorn then dre up in line of battle in the enemy's reai and sent a courier to Gen. Pike to hai ten up his six thousand Indians. Pik ' #i ? rr 1 x"L - was twenty ranes on, auu me enem was completely hemmed in by Pike o one side and an impenetrable wildernes to the south and in front, and it scarci ly seemed possible for the enemy t make his escape.

The battle n commenced at 10, a. m., on the 7th, j and was fought until dark, j Many officers were killed and wound.' ed whose names were not given. There 1S is some difficulty about a correct list. The army got separated from their le train, which is safe at Strieker's, on n Boston Mountain, about 25 miles off. ^ Van Dorn says he has fallen back, but is not, and cannot be whipped. Q ? >n?> Prnm the West. 4 Augusta, March 14.?Passsengers pe report an engagement at Chickasaw, on , the Tennessee Rrer, near Eastport, 0 on Wednesday. Pour Federal gunrs boats attempted to ascend the river, ir but were repulsed several times by the 1 2. batteries. It is believed that one of the gun-boats was disabled. None on our side were injured. Memphis is under martial law. All cotton, sugar and molasses have been [f ordered off, excepting enough for fami|8 ly supplies. The Appeal publishes a despatch ' from Richmond, stating that President e" Davis is going West, and urging all to y rally to his standard. > The Tennesse Legislature having a quorum, the Governor's message was presented. He says that immediately e on hearing of the fall of Fort Donelson, H I called upon General Johnston to tenf der him all the resources of the State :e which could be made available, with my full co-operation in any or all measures of defence of our State and capital.? General Johnston informed me, that d under the circumstances which surroundi ed him, and with the small force under his command, he regarded it his duty to the army he commanded and the Government he represented, to fall back with his army South of Nashville, makn ingno defence of the city, and that he ^ would do so immediately upon the arj rival of his army from Bowling Green. 1 Ti,fl a Avarnnr iirrrPQ tbp T ipfrislftbirc to JLUC VJIV?

BATTLE AT NEWBERN, N.C,! n The Charlotte Bulletin of the 16th ( ,r has the following : i- The battle commenced 7.30, on Frih day. The first shot was fired by the n Federalists at the Atlantic railroad j :i shops. Soon after, the firing was indis- 1 g criminate, but destructive. Our troops 1 t, disputed their advance bravely. The < k Federals numbered 12,000 on land, and - 61 transports, while our force was a- < s bout 6,000. The fight lasted two and 3 e a half hours, when it became necessary . g for our troops to evacuate Newbern, < if in consequence of their being borne < down upon by overwhelming numbers. - The citizens, at least several of them fired s ;. their own dwelling and business houses, i d The cotton and turpentine stored in J i- Newbern was first fired, and totally de- 1 s stroyed. Our army stores and provis- ' s ions were all removed. Two batteries 1 s and two car loads, one of ammunition, ] and the other of arms, fell into the hands h of the enemy. i s Most of the women and children es- 1 n caped. They were gathered up on the 1 e line of the railroad,- together with sevs eral wounded soldiers, who were left at < Goldsboro. Our soldiers done all they could to defend Newbern, but were overwhelmg ed by superior numbers. The bridge over the Trent river was d fired by the enemy, but fortunately, the ^ rolling stock on the road was removed ~ fiinn fA unVAf] ft XXX tXXXI*, C V/ MV y Wilmington, March 17.?The most e apparently reliable are that our forces t constituted five skeleton regiments of infantry and a few artillery companies d and a battalion, which came just in . it time to help cover our retreat. The d force of the enemy was 22,000, with n formidable gun-boats 011 the flank and - formidable field batteries in front, with a heavy reserve. Our entire force was it about 5,000. Our troops held their ground five hours. The militia first 1- gave way. Our loss in killed and wounded is estimated at from 100 to 150.? it The enemy's loss is variously stated at : from 500 to 1,000. The only troops v engaged were from North Carolina.? : Col. Avery and Maj. Hoke were both 1 d killed. A flag of truce has gone down and will return soon, when a full report 1 e of the casualties will be obtained. 1 A Daring Exploit in tiie West.? , From a special dispatch to the Memphis . n Appeal, from Fort Smith, Arkansas, I c_ we learn that a scouting party of six ! e hundred under Cols. Greer and Simms . n moved to the rear of the enemy, and 1 >f got between their main body and their . >f pickets. They captured and burnt two ] lt hundred and eighty of the enemy's ,r wagons, taking between two hundred and fifty and three hundred mules and n horses. n They killed twenty-five of the enemy : [s and took ten prisoners. They also captured a large amount of n commissary and quartermaster stores. ,f The attack on the Federal train was j (| made at Keitsville, Missouri. It is | (| looked upon as one of the most Drunant j8 achievements of the war. Such daring yy and calmness were never before known. r The prisoners taken, ten in number, 3. have arrived here and are now in jail. e Not one of our men injured, y JacJc807i Mmimppian, 12th instant. " What Ruined Nashville ??A wriv ter in the Lynchburg Republican says : * ''Speculation has ruined Nashville, and caused its fall. Its people, with few exceptions, have been hunting money instead of preparing for defence.? ,*s So it is all over the country. Ableie bodied men are rushing to and fro, from !East to West, speculating in the very n life blood of the people, at the moment g the battering rams of an accursed ene1, my are playing upon the walls of our liberty's citadel. What but disaster ; c, can such a people expect, or what betn ter do they deserve ? "The panic in Nashville on Sunday was, perhaps, never equalled since the affair at Bull Run." ' The speculators and blood-suckers? " the sappers and miners of our cause, truly remarks the Macon Messenger? are not confined to Nashville. Can any one tell us how soldiers can sup- 1 port their families with eleven dollars * per month, and bacon forty cents per i pound, flour .$6 per hundred and gro- 1 ceries and djy goods in proportion i ( Skirmish at Brunswick, Ga.?-The 1 Savannah Republican, of 13th says : \ Col. Carey W. Stiles visited Bruns- < wick early yesterday morning, in com- ( mand of a battalion. The enemy were j not in the city, but on board their ves- ? sels in the harbor. Eight Yankee sol- ? diers were engaged gathering oysters ? within musket range from the bank, c and the temptation induced one of our men, a printer, belonging to the Jack- j son Artillery, who had accompanied the i expedition, pulled trigger on them and f killed one of the party. The rest be- < gan to row lustily away, when other i shots were fired at them, and but two \ of the eight were left to return to their i ships. The gun-boats in the stream ] then opened their cannon on the city, 1 but done no damage to our troops, as < they had withdrawn, finding no enemy on shore to meet them. About 10 o'- ] clock that night the Yankees again o- j pened on the city, and it is supposed j that they were shelling the. town. [Special Dexpatcb to the South Carolinian.] Capture of Three Federal Officers. Charleston, March 17.?Three of the Frog Level Scouts?Kibler, Sheely ( and Carson?of the Holcombe Legion, } on .Edisto Island, yesterday bagged Lieut. Col. Bennett, of the 55th Pennsylvania, Lieut. Kirby, of the 47th ] New York, and Willis, a cotton agent from New York. Evaouation of New Madrid. Augusta, March 17.?A special dispatch to the Savannah Republican, da- j ted Memphis, 15th, says that New , Madrid was evacuated by the Confederates on Thursday night. The small' arms and ammunition were saved, btft : the artillery was lost. The Confedtr- , ate troops went to Island No. 10 and r Tiptonville. : Skirmish at New Creek. Richmond, March 16.?Last week a skirmish took place at New Creek, in Hampshire county, Virginia. Ashby's cavalry made an attack on the enemy, and took forty prisoners. Our loss f was two killed and one wounded. j Both Houses of Congress have pass- f ed a resolution advising that no cotton be planted this year. From Jacksonville, Florida.?A ? gentleman who arrived from Florida by the train last evening furnishes us with ? the following information from citizens j iirect from Jacksonville. The Mayor of Jacksonville had issued a proclamation calling on the citizens to make no resistance in case the 1 Federals attempted to take possession jf the town, at which they became in- ( iignant. * On the 11th, the soldiers being arou- j ?ed against a Mr. Remington, a com- 1 nission merchant, and a native of the 1 North, for utterance of treasonable sen;iments,"shot him dead on the street.? i Two other Yankee residents were kil- { led while attempting to escape from the j place in boats. < The steam-mills and all the lumber c n the place were burnt; also Mooney's 1 Foundry., and a Confederate gunboat on the stocks. The mayor made his escape from i Jacksonville.?Savannah Republican, T 14th. < Heavy Cargoes of Arms from Eu- ^ rope Arrived.?The Savannah New* .> rf the 15th instant says : We have authority for saying that j there has been another arrival at a Conpnrlnmi-q r>orf nf n. valuable cargro of foreign articles. The captain of the adventurous craft has often been seen upon our streets, and we congratulate him again upon his success. Since the above has been in type we learn that another, an English steamer, has also arrived at a Confederate port, with arms, munitions, &c., in large quantities. We can vouch for the above statements. These are not mere "sensation reports."?Charleston Mercury. ( - - I Their Animus.?The Senate of Maine, it is stated, has just passed a resolution with only four dissenting voices, memorializing Congress to free and arm the whole survile population, c This is a developement of Northern a feeling towards us, which every man {] should know and weigh. It is the very e disabolism of malignity, and is conceived and born of the idea of the extinc- s tion in blood and fire of the Southern ? race. What, then, should be the feeling of undying, desperate courage a which animates us when we know that, , failing in self-defence, we must fall into ( the hands of conquerors who hate us with a hatred which can be sated only by our extinction. Merrimac No. 2.?We learn that there is now building'and nearly ready, at one of our gulf ports, an iron-plated ^ li 1|i ui thjuuli *uu\/ lucb in iu 11^ ini waiv* 50 feet * beam, which will be supplied with a number of engines and boilers; and when she gets ready, it is supposed she will be quite equal to Mei'rimac No. 1.?South Carolinian. Yankee Barbarity.?A few days since, about 500 Yankees from Hilton Head landed on Coosa Island, and finding it deserted, burned the fine residence of Robert Chisolm, Esq. This is Sherman's respect for private houses where he has been generously and hospitably entertained.?Carolinian, 18 th. True Patriotism.?It is stated that 1 the Fourth Alabama Regiment, in the J Army of the Potomac, proposes to re- J enlist for the war, rejecting alike the c fifty dollars bounty and the sixty day's ' furlough, saying that the cause is e- \ nough. 4>?? - ?

Extract from the minutes of March 1. By order of the Governor and Council. F. J. MOSES, Jr., Secretary. March 20 12 It Proclamation by the Governor. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. ExecuTtvc OrrtCK, March 12, 1862. ?-Ttrmn a cs .1 1 W HzrVO, me eiieuij nu.vc tut vu, to a large extent, our usual resources for breadstuff's, by the occupation of Pamlico Sound and the waters of the lower Roanoke on one side, and by the occupation of Nashville and Kentucky on the other side; and, whereas, it is of the last importance to us that a large supply of provisions shall be produced amongst ourselves, to support our brave men in the field and to supply their helpless famllfcs left at home. Now, then, be it known,'that I, as Governor of South Carolina, with the earnest approbation of the Executive Council, do herebv issue this my proclamation, calling upon nil good citizens, by ever)- appeal that can Influence a faithful and patriotic people, to abstain from planting, at most, not more than one-fifth of their usual crop of cotton, and to plant a large crop of grain. By so doing, we place ourselves upon the surest foundations of independence, and put it beyond the power of our enemies to obtain any large supply of that article so essential in the commerce of fnodem nations, except by the ordinary mode of an uninterrupted trade with an Independent people. Cotton is an article which comes nearer to gold and silver in the adjustment of balances between nations, than any other production j because, with the exception of costs, as to transportation, it has nearly universality of demand and universality of value, and is not perishable. Unless it can be procured by treating those who produce it with equality In their Intercourse with other nations, then we should refuse to produce it, and determine to destroy what we may have, ir necessary. To control this power effectually to our advantage, there must be concert of action, and I earnestly entreat every patriotic man to comply, for at least one crop, with the suggestion of this proclamation. The wealthy farmers owe it to the wives, daughters, and sisters of our brave soldiers in the field, to ralso# enough provisions not only for themselves, but to see thnt'thcre is no want around the homes of our gallant men who are in active service. The enemy threatens a large portion ofthe rice-growing region of our State. This source of supply, which has heretofore been so abundant and so essential in our domestic economy, may be largely diminished, and this Is an additional reason why every planter in the interior should enlarge his crop of breadstuns. We have ail the means of productive supplies within ourselves, and now is the time to enlarge ail those supplies so essential to the support of our armies, and so necessary to our permanent Independence. Given under ray hnnd an^the seal of the State, at Columbia, this the 12tli day of March, in the year of our [l a] Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the Independence of the 8tate of South Carolina the eighty-sixth.
