William Martin of this State, in response to a circular issued by him under my direction, which will exhibit to yon the extent of the destitution and suffering prevailing ic South Carolina. I havo received, and am daily in receipt of letters from benevolent and philanthropic persons in the North and West, making inquiries as to tho extent of the destitution, and if you will do mt.' the favor to publish the communication sent, it will furnish foll information upon the subject to all who feel a generous interest in oar distress.

I have the honor to ho, Yety respectfully, vour obedient servant, JAMES L. OKB, Governor ot South Carolina. EXTRACTS FEOM LETTERS SHOWING THE CONDI? TION OK. THE PEOPLE. .. fi ! LANCASTEB DISTRICT will require 60.000 bushels. There is not more corn, if all distributed, than enough to do the district longer than the 1st of February or March. Our crops, both, of cotton and corn, have boen extremely poor. I suppose not more than one-third of a crop has been made. Unless our people are assisted from abroad, and a good Providence interposes, I do not see how many are to escape starvation. .Those persons in our our distriot who have herotoforo l>?en able to assist the destitute, are now reduced themselves and un? able to do anything in that way; ? Hi r ? .' CHESTERFIELD DISTRICT.-T'think it w?l require, at least 10,000 bushels of corn to supply the neces? sities of the poor of this distriot. MARLBORO' DISTRICT.-Crops very Short; not more than one-third or one-half supply made. - It is estimated that tho district wili require 100,000 bushels to supply the 'Want. CHESTER DISTRICT.-There are about three hun? dred and forty families, representing twelve hun? dred and fifty persons, a large proportion of whom are widows, orphans and disabled soldiers, who axe. under present circumbtancco, unable to pro ride for themselves. Ho thinks it Trill require from 3000 to 10,000 bushels to meet tho'ir necessities. KERSHAW DISTBIOT -Tho Commissioners of the Poor for this district have boen, applied to for re? lief hy five hundred white persons, who furnish certificates of destitution; and tho number of des? ?tate freedmen is more than doable that of the whites. i '? . ? ? HOBBY DTBTMOTV-'-I believe teat it ; -w?l require not less than .20,000 bushels, of corn to supply the iistrict, 5000 of which must he for. charitable dis? tribution. WILLIAMSBURG DISTRICT.-One-twentieth of the population of this district must ba provided for by, charity, or greatly suffer. LEXXNOTON.DISTBIOT.-From the numerous ap? plications made, to me I know tho destitution to oe very great. In my. opinion it will require not less than three thousand bushels of corn to supply the wont. Colonel Palmer, now resident in this district, among many certificates gives tho follow? ing : Miss-, aged 23, has an idiotic sister, aged 16, physica.ly helpless, and an infont niece entire? ly dependent upon her; her mothar and elder sis? ter have' both died during the paBt month, if not from actual starvation, from great want. : : The above estimates, with the exception ' of Ker? shaw Distriot, have been made Trithout reference to the ireedmen.. In almost every district their destitution equals or surpasses that of the .whites. GEORGETOWN DISTBIOT.-We aro impressed with the belief that it will require at least 5000 bushels of corn io meet the necessities ot the paupers ol this district. - . ? . . . The following extracts of letters are in response to a circular sent out under direction of Governor Orr:. . GEORGETOWN.-Our population of whites is, as you know, small; and yet there are about fifty wi? dows in Georgetown, their small ohildren, who are dependent, number about forty, while those who could work, if work was to be had, would swell thc number-- considerably. This does not, by anj means, comprise all who are in actual want. I am not sure if the ones who are suffering the most art not those whose delicacy leads them to comptait tho least. I know of many such. . ' - ALLSTON, FATRFTELD DISTBIOT.-The-failure o the crops last year,-following the disasters of a de strnctive raid, leaving ns comparatively nothing tt live on, or to work with, has reduced ns to tha painful state that many of our people aro depen dont ou the charity of those outside of our com munity, we no longer being ahle to help ont another. The situation at thu time ia roall; alarming; starvation at the door of many indus' trions men trying to mako a crop; will not be ab! to plant without help, If."they fail to get helj now they will be in a wore 3 situation next year i they live to get through this.

BXS PETITION TO TES UNITED STATES CTB?U1T COURT. lb the Honorable the Judges of Ote Circuit Court, of the United Slates for the District of Virginia: The petition of Jefferson Davis, by George Shea, his attorney in fact in this behalf, respectfully showeth: j.j ?. That he is,'and ever since the 19th day of May, in the year 1865, has been, restrained of -his liber? ty, and held in close custody as a prisoner in jail' in that certain strong place-of and belonging to the Government of the United States, called Fort Monroe, within tho said District of Virginia; and th it Brig. Gen. Henry S. Burton is now the com? mander of said Fort Monroe, and as Bach holds your petitioner in custody. - That no ground of detention is alleged to the' knowledge of your petitioner,- or his said attorney, in fact, unless it be a certain indictment presented against your petitioner, at the May term of the above entitled court, held in the year 1866, of which a cpy is hereunto annexed, marked A. !

Tour petitioner further says that ample sureties for his appearance to abids judgment on said in? dictment can be given, if your petitioner shall be admitted to bail. , Tour.petitioner farther shows that bis detention, imprisonment and custody aforesaid, always have been and are exclusively under or by color of the authority of the United. States, and that he has reason to apprehend that the Government may not proceed to the trial opon said indiotment at the next ensuing term of said Court, which is to be held in Richmond on tho first Monday of May. 1867. Whereupon your petitioner prays that a writ of habeas corpus may issue from this honorable Court, to bo directed to Brigadier-General Henry 8.
