Columbia, October 20, 1S62 At * public meeting held this day, in the City Hall, to rseaive the report of the committee appointed at m adjourned meeting, on the 8th October, to deriae some plea for the relief of oar suffering soldiers in the army, Dr. M. LaBorde was requested to take the Chair, and Edward Hope, to aet as Secretary. - Hon. John -Townsend, as Chairman of the committee, stated that they had found it necessary to correspond with the authorities ia Richmond, and apoa a moderate sal eolation, South Carolina had ten thousand soldiers in Virginia in a destitute condition; that the constant deaaeds of the army bad well-nigh exhausted supplies. L The report of the committee was then submitted. - The committee appointed to "devise some plan by which relief may he provided and sent on to oorsufferiog soldiers in the most practicable form, and with the least possible delay, aod that they report this plan to the .consideration of our eittsena at a meeting to be called for that purpose &t an early day/' make the following report: That the situation of our army and the hekr approach of winter demand immedi W ?uu |riyuip witvu. v w j ?y | commend m the benevolent aod patriotic citizen* of very district in tbe State to call meetings at their respective ooort booses, and organize * Central District Committee. This committee to appoint energetic and public-spirited oitisene in all section* cf the district, whoee doty it sball be to colleet all articles of elotbingand supplies for oar soldiers in tbe army and hospitals, or money, as may be most needed at the time, and see personally to the delivery of the same to the Chairman of the Central Committee of thair district, whoee doty it shall be to transmit tbe earn* to tbe Chairmen of tbe Central Committee of the State, to be located at Colombia, as hereinafter ward* to be more particularly designated. The transmission of these ariioles, money, &c., to be made at such times and in sueh way ae will aeoure tbeir prompt and safe delivery, to the committee io Columbia, and 4o be directed and delivered to the Chairman of the said Contra! Committee, who will duly acknowledge the reoeipt of the eame. We farther recommend that a Central Committee, consisting of ten gentlemen, be appointed by the Chairman of this meeting, whose doty it shall be to act for tbe city of Columbia aod district of Riobland, discharging the same duties as are above recommended to the different districts in oar State, and in addition to these duties, to secure a depot for the reception aod eeourity of *11 artioles for^rdod to the Chairman of seid Com' mittee. In the arrangemen t of the depot at Columbia, and whioh trill be under -the immediate control and'direetion of the Committee, ail srtiolee and packages sent to companies or individuals to be kept separate from ail general contributions, so that rnmf* italtnn sill ka ?(> liaMaf unnmrl by tbe persons to whom they are directed. In making op the packages or boxes of articles, it is recommended that a card, with plain and fall directions, be plsoed on tbe bundle or box, or, what is more secure, paint'the directions on the box or package, and one .with similar directions be pieced within, so thet if the card or palot on the oateideabe destroyed, tbe card .within will direct the delirery. Whenever a snfficieot quantity of supplies for our army have accumulated at the depotin Columbia to make a shipment proper, the Central Committee will forward the same to a depot located at Richmond, Virginia, under the immediate care of an agent, sent, on by the Central Committee at Colombia, to see personally that these supplies are safely and promptly delivered at the depot in Richmond, and take bis receipt for the same. Your committee further reoommend that a depot bejycured at Richmond by the Central Committee for the sole use of the people of our State, and for the benefit of oar own citizens who are now in the service in Virginia; that this depot be under the care and control of a gentleman who will have, and who deserves, the confidence of the people of our State It will be made tbe duty of the geDtleman appointed to take charge of the depot at Richmond, to give to the officers commanding the soldiers from South Carolina, as well by general nttice in the newspapers as by special notice to our officers, information of the establishment of our depot, and the objects proposed to be accomplished by the location of said de pot at Richmond, aod requesting that they would, when Deoessary, detail a member of their company or regiment to be sent to the depot at Richmond, with a written statement of the articles needed in their companies or regiments, and whioh detailed soldier sent to Riohmond would be able to take to the respective companies or regiregiments, a portion of the general contribution as well as private contributions intended for persons in the said companies or regiments. Or, that the superintendent of the depot adopt such other method of ascertaining the wants of the army and the mode of transmitting supplies as his judg ment and experience may suggest. In the depot at Riohmond the same arrangement of separating the general contributions from the private packages as is recommended in the central depot at Columbia, to be observed. It will further be the duty of the agent for the State at Riohmond to cause to be faithfully delivered, all artiolea sent to the patients in the hospitals in and near Richmond, and whatever of the general contributions be may think advisable and necessary, and to send by a special and reliable agent articles and supplies to our soldierein the different hospitals in the State of Virginia, and that he take saoh measures as will inform him from time to time of the want* of our siok soldiers in Mid hospitals, situated at a distance from Richmond. That the Central Committee, in Colombia, | acting upon the best information they may be able to obtain, retain in the depot at Columbia, snob a portion of the general contributions as they may think will best serve the purposes wbioh we wish to aooomplish, to be furnished to onr soldiers in our own State, or io the other States as exigencies may require, either in service or iaour hospitals ; and, also, to receive at our depot all private packages sent to msu in our State or elsewhere; said contributions to be sent J by special agents, by said Central Committee, or delivered to persons, sent by their l respective officers from oar army, as the said J Committee may hereafter determine. And i it is farther recommended that the Central I Committee at Colombia, allow to agents an- i der their direction such reasonable coojpen- i aation as will be just and proper. i Your committee farther recommend the i adoption of the following resolutions : ] 1 .Resolved, That the address and're- 1 port to the people of the State, herewith i submitted, be adopted'by this meeting. t 2 Resolved, That all the papers of tbia 1 State be requested to publish the same, and l that three thooaaad copies be-published in i pamphlet form for general distribution. 3.

An army like this, thus formidable < in everything which could make war des- 1 tractive, and swarming over our country in f numbers like the Locusts of Egypt, was well g calculated to create anxiety' for the safety c of otr oapitai. It was known that we could * oppose to this host an army inferior to theirs * in everything, except courage and disci p- ' line; aid although we had every confidence * in finalities of onr soldiers, .vet to ev? c itj reflecting man in the South, contempts ting the fearful odds against ns, there was v an nodefined dread for the resnlt, which f pressed like an overwhelming load upon his ! heart. "Whatif oar armj be overpowered, i rooted, destroyed and Richmond taken V* t wasthe anxious problem whichever/man t pondered in bie heart. <?Wbat if that bar- e rier of brave hearts should be broken down * by our enemies; and having nothing to op- c pose them,they should sweep down over't the South, leafing desolation behind them, a as they done in-Northern Virginia ; to be a followed-by other Northern hordes, greedy c for plunder, burniog with Inst and raging c with fanaticism 2 These were the painfully t anxious musings of thonghtfnl men, as they c Contemplated the two armies confronting t each other before Richmond, and the ene- t my possessing so many aod such vast ad' c vantages over us. t The military reverses which bad befal- 2 len us, one after another, for several months 1 previous, had cast a gloom over the public 1 mind, and had greatly intensified their anx- I iety about the fate of oar army. The fail 2 of Forts Donelsoo and Henry and those a near Port Royal, the occupation of Beau- c fort and the sea islands io this State, and 1 several of the sea-coast towns in North u Carolina, the surrender of New Orleans and Nashville, their occupation of large c portions of Tennessee and Kentocky aod q the Mississippi River, the evacuation of r Pensacola aod Norfolk and the blowing up t of the Merrimac?:these and other reverses \ hung like a murky cloud over our political horizon, and caused many to despond, and v a few even to despair. And now the ene- ( my, with their vast and well appointed \ army is advancing upon Richmond. The t peninsula is overrun, and their fortifications c are planted almost at tho gates of our capi- a tal, whilst their immense fleet is occupying 1 all the approaches by water. But our ar- c my is there to meet them at every point. a At a spectacle which was so full of mo e ~ l ..L ?A.z. _??i ? men was consequences, ootn uauuu? bluuu j agaze, and men held tberrbreath under the ( inteoBeDess of their anxiety, whilst the pi- j ous raised their supplications to God for \ his blessing upon our arms. v And now, fellow-citizens, can any man ( forget that, amidst the undefined fears and f doubts and anxieties with which bis miDd 1 ' was then distressed, he fixed his trust in j tour Army of the Potomac as the only in- * struraent, through God, to bring us to de- 8 liveraoee?the very army, (or what is left < of it, after the killed aod the wounded and t sick in tbe hospitals are deducted,) which, < having heroically performed its -work, stands 1 now before their country, in their destitu- t tion and sufferings, and demands of her 8 justice, as the evidence of our gratitude.? 8 And have they not a claim to both, in ful- < lest measure? Consider the condition J c the couotry, immediately preceding the 8 battle before Richmond, as it has beeD briefly presented to you?consider the fear- t ful odds against us everywhere aDd in every- t thing, shut out from assistance, as we were t from all tbe world?consider the feverish ? temper of the public mind, under the influ- a ence of these discouraging circumstances, \ as it waited, from day to day, for the burs- f tine forth of the tempest which was to de- j cide, perhaps the fate of our oouotry, and t then form some estimate of the immeasu- c rable benefits -which that army secured to ^ us, and the lively gratitude which was then i felt, and which will ever be due to it. Oar- t ry your memories back to the time wheD, f during that ominious ealmjwhich preceded c the terrible storm, every man awaited the ^ tidings from Richmond with breathless j anxiety. At length it comes. What sounds i are these which shake the earth ? It is the j booming of deep mouthed cannon and the ? rattling of ten thousands of musketry, and t the shouts of armed men contending in t deadly strife. The battle is begun ! But s here comes further tidings flashing over the i eleotri<^wires; and what do they tell ? Vic- t tory, victory to the South ! Aud after sev- t en days fighting, in which our soldiers t poured out their blood like water, and per- t formed deeds of valor which have made t them the admiration of the world, still was \ each day's report, victory to our arms, j I slaughter and rout to our ebemy, until they j f Sod shelter aoder the guns of their fleet Who of you, then, feHow-cUixens, did ool Feel proud of this army ? Who of yon did then feet deeply grateful to them for the deliverance they had wrought for you, iind the security which they had thrown around iron ? Remember, then, that the same army, although sadly reduced by death, sickless tod wonods, now confronts again the idvapce of our enemies on the banks of the Potomac. Remember the dangers and iiardships they have suffered, in order thai pou, your families -and property, might be ufe; and then let the sentiment of grati;ude-and justice in your hearts, inspire yon :o remember the!r pressing wants and urge pbu to supply them. ;-. **" ..And now, citizens of Sooth Carolina, ffhat is your response? We will not ask his question of the women of the Sonth. Many of them have their oberished ones, iheir husbands, their brothers and theii ions, in one or the otberof our armies; and 3od has pat their hearts in the rigltt place, md they have not allowed them to be Warp )d aside by avarice or selfishness. The peculator, the monopolist or the extortionsr, cannot live within the pure atmosphere >f woman's nature, and we know that their esponse will be all that liberality can deire. or patriotic induatiyr.accomplish. . .

Let these parties look to it in ime, and pursue the oourse which the initinct of self preservation, if nothing higher, suggests, and support the war liberally, vigorously; and that is best done by proviling for the soldiers, and keeping up our irtnies in a state of the highest efficiency. Let us not shut our eyes, fellow-citizens, o our true condition. The terms offered to is by our enemies are?"Reconstruction of lie old Union," on their own terms; or, 'Subjugation to be followed by political ilavery and confiscation of our property.?

The Confederate jtovernment promised to pay, but the Conederate Government will no longer exist, jook to it well, tben, and see what interest rou have in sustaining the war. There is lot a bank in the State but holds a large thought of the extreme peril to which, at ^ one time our army was exposed; and we 0 are taught a lesson vyhich will be profitable 11 to lay to heart. Weakened by the extra- ^ ordinary defections from our ranks, to 11 whioh we have just alluded, and pressed upon by the whole power of our foe in ^ overwnelming numbers, we were saved c' from utter defeat only by the indomitable ^ courage of our soldiers. And who does lj not know that defeat, at that time, would tl have been the ruin of our army, to be fol al lowed by the most disastrous consequences 0 to our whole country ? fl! Upon causes apparently,-then, so trivial, ^ does the fate of a people frequently depend ! d( Bad our army been routed at Sbrfrpsburg, it 9< would have resulted iu its ruin ; and the P only barrier would thus have been broken down, which prevented the enemy from ta- u king possession of Richmond; and then aau IGU1CTV yjmi iuuc|;ouuoHbc. VUA RIUJIOO ^ of protection end defence most be eqaal in a efficiency to their amies of invasion and a attempted subjugation; and if oar Govern- s ment be incapable ef providing everything fi for their efficiency, ere should ondeavof, to o the eitent of oar ahiii^, to supply .the de- v ficieecy. And here is 'the grccise point o to which we woold invoke par earnest v thqnghti and patriotic efforts. f It is known that after the seven dep of 1 battles and victories aronod Richmond, ^ which resulted in our driviog the enemy,- ' disoomfitted, to the shelter of the guns of r their fleet; that they took the earliest oppor- e tnnity to abandon that base-line, which & they said they of choice had selected; and " leaving the peninsula,' they massed their ^ troops around Gen. Pope, in the neighbor 0 hood of , Manassas. There oar armies by ^ rapid marches followed them, like eager e blood hoaDds in. parsuit of their prey. In f doing this, with the celerity which -the l! movement teqaired, it. became necessary 0 that oar men shoald disencumber themselves of moat of their baggage. In some c divisions, it is said, their knapsacks were z left, by order of their officers, in huge piles, e uoder the uncertain protection of a few a sentinels to ga&rd them. The severe service f during the s&ven days Sgbting near Rich- a meed, the rapid marohing to the Rappa- 1; hanuock in search of the enemy, the par- s suit of them from that place to Manassas, s the three days fighting in thit neighborhood, r the slaughter and ntter. rout of our enemies v there, and oar rapid pursuit until we drove b them out of Virginia, our crossing the Puto- t mac into Maryland, the frequent and m J vere battles there fongbt, and our sabse- r rrnonf PAfnrninc* nnrftsq th? Pntnmao. onca- C I**-? e> ?? > ?-r pied a space of a little more than a month, 0 during which it is said, by one who was 0 present, that "oar army rested bat four $ days." The unparalleled severity of these c rapid marches tested to ihe extreme the en- 1 durance of our soldiers. Thousands fell * down exhausted by the wayside; other thous- 1 iuds struggled on with the army, throwing J away one article after another of their 1 clothing, to.ease themselves of their burden, until many of them were left with but p a single suit, and many without a blanket, c In that one suit they marched by day, and b in that one suit they fell down upon the i cold ground, foot sore and exhausted, and r slept by night. These painful sacrifices our a gallant soldiers heroically endured to ad- li vance the sucoess of our arms. Bat their v patriotio ardor was greater than their ca- s pacity of endurance, and nature at last v gave up, under the accumulated sufferings, a of scanty food and long marcnes?both ag- n gravated ten fold by the want of shoes to s shield their feet from the stones, and the a want of clothing to protect their bodies jJ from the chilly dews of night. Owing to e these causes, chiefly, and to the sickness h incident to these exposures, it is estimated if that there were from thirty to fifty thous- ii and stragglers (so oa'.led) who were absent u from the bloody battle of Sharpsburg ; the tl most of whom were broken down, and al- a though eager for the fight, were physically * unable to go upon the field. e In reviewing the incidents of that mo f mentous strutrszle. tho mind shudders at the 11 roqjd have followed all the deplorable conequencea to the Confederacy, and especiUy .to the Atlantic States of the South, rbich such a. calamity would hare flooded ipop na. ' But if weave indebted for deliverance to he prowess of oor troops, who fongfrt on hat clay with a bravery and determined esolation like to which, eoldiers never be ore fought, let to remember that the fame a uses now exist which, then weakened our rcny?by keeping out of the field tea tbtUr and* of oar troops, and which aearlj ' ironght us to rain. It ia stated by one rbo was present on the occasion, that those rho fought that battle, one-fifth of them re re hare-footed and one half of them in agiand such we may infer was the coalition of most of thoae who fell of by the ray, and hare keen branded as "stragglers." 1 ?e her* hare an amount of destitution, rhioh is deplorable to think, of ? and in the tear approach of winter, the exposure of or soldiers in the open field, ic that iohosiitable climate, calls upon erery feeling ritbin us, of duty, humanity, gratitude nd patriotism, to come forwind without lelay and send them relief. We come now to enquire how shall that elief he provided ? And hare the commitee would premise, that in a claim' of snch aagnitude, our people should prepare bemselves- to make sacrifices. .To limit hemselves to mare superfluities, in[making ip their offerings, would often .fell vary ar short of just expectations, and their laty towards our suffering soldiers. They leed shoes, blankets, socks, shirts, coats, >sots, drawers,;and, inn few cases, hats od great costs. These must be purchased trendv made, or the materials" purchased ? ?J , ad made ap by oar wives and daughters. L large amount of money will then be reaired to make these porobases. Lei those, hen, give liberally, of their money who ieVeit; and they who have not, obtain the aaterihls if they can, andwork them ap ih? o fib oca or garments ; and if these joorbes til, then let as resort to oar domestic sap lj, tad divide with oar soldiers, oar own lotbes and blankets.

If aeoesary to the keeping ap of oar army ia the ;eld, and, therefore, to the sdeeess of oar ease. ia establishing oar independence, it roald be e.. false pride; and a silly one, to bjeot to sbaridg our blankets and oar rardrobe with oar soldiers. It is bat transerring these from friends at home to relaires in the army, and if aeed be, we will livideour clothes again,, and yet again, rith oar brethren there, until we shall be edaoed ourselves, not to nigt, (for Southrn women will not allow friends at. home o come to that,) bat to'dsrns and patches -which may yet become the. honorable edges, by which to distinguish the patriots four second Revolution. The man who ias unalterably resolved that tbia Coufedi racy shall be free and independent, has bo lace for so unworthy a sentiment as shame, fit stand in the way of ita honorable ac? ompiishment. We have enlarged upon this point, beaasf it is sadly manifest to ns fellow-oittens, that the stock of material to be work* d up into shoes and clothing is not so inch soaoty as it may be beyond oar reach; rom the extravagant prices at whioh they re held. They are in the hands of speouatora, monopolists sod extortioners, whose outs are so steeped in avarice, as to be inensible to any appeals of humanity^or patiotism They oare nothing for the soldier's rife and family whom he has left at home, at grind oat of their "necessities the ex remest prices for thd few articles, (their arc* their oloth, their sugar and their salt) fbich are indispensable to them. In prouriog, then, supplies for oar soldiers, we annot depend upon the stores in the hands >f sdoh voracious oormorants; but leave hem to the judgment whioh God has delonnced upon the extortioner; and ander he full persaasion that the sighs and the ears of the poor, whioh have been gathered with those treasures, will eat them np ike a canker, and leave, in the end, noth g but barrenness in their coffers. If, then, we oannot purchase from the mblio warehouses the shoes and garments eeded for our soldiers, and if we are dearred the use of the anwrought materials n the bands of monopolists, then oar only esoaroe is to call upon our own wardrobes nd blankets, whioh, with diligence in colacting and industry in repairing tbcm, toald go far in relieving the present necesrties of oar soldiers. Is there one who , rill deny his share of these, or refase to sake up bis bundle ? The supposition is ot to be eotertaioed , Remember that our oldiers who are guarding onr frontier, no latter where may be that frontier, may ustly be considered as standing sentinel at ach man's gate, no mattet where that man-'s orne may be. The.defence of the frontier 3 necessarily the protection of all within t; and the Army of the Potomac is no tore the guard of our capitol at Richmond ban it is the guard of the city of Columbia, nd of every plantation and hamlet between rhioh and the enemy it interposes its posr- , rful shield. It would be an ignorant and bort-sighted view to suppose that, in guard- ( ig our frontier in Virginia or on our own sa-coast, we are guarding Virginia or our wn sea-coast alone.

The intelligent mind, then, in readily contemplate the sentinel who ee^ watch and ward for as on the banks of le Potomac or oq the sea-coast, as substanally doing the same thing for every town nd family between those frontiers and his wn home. Let as, then, fellow-citizens, imiliarize ourselves to this undeniable truth iet us realize the faot that, although in per)n our armies may be in Virginia or on the ;a-coast, they are virtually and for all the urposes for which the army is raised, proictiog each man's home in the interior, no tatter where that home may be.
