In answer to the numerous enquiries which have been made by the different " Aid Societies which have been recently formed throughout tho State, I have been intruded by his Excellency Gov. Pickens, to give the following information. Depots will bo established by the Quartermaster General, both in Charleston and Columbia, for tho reception of all donations of clothing ; and ho is also charged with the duty of forwarding and distributing 1 tho same. The " Department" will rceeivo all donations of clothing, say frock coats and pantaloons, of heavy worsted goods, shirts and drawers, of heavy homespun or flannel, wool, or heavy cotton socks, blankets new or second hand, also heavy shoes. The plan upon which tho State designs supplying her soldiers with all necessary clothing, is based upon their willingness to surrender to tho State the amount ot money appropriated by the Confederate Govern, inent for this purpose, say forty-two ($42) per annhm^ this sum not now being sufficient in consequence of the greatly advanced cost of material. It is in view of this fact that these laudablo "Associations" of ladies and gentlemen, are cordiaiiy welcomed as coadjutors in this noblo work, and In proportion to their voluntary contributions of labor and materials, wid the absolute cost of clothing for our gallant volunteers be reduced. In the event that any of the " Associations" should not feel themselves able to furnish both material and labor, the Quartermaster General is instructed by his Excellency the Governor, to ro-imburse such Associations the cost of all materials, at a rate not exceeding similar materials purchased by tne "Department;" and the quantity allowed for each garment shall be tlio same as used in our Manufacturing Bureau. Societies are particularly requested to advise the Quartermaster General of the quantity of work they can do j?cr week, and tlio amount of donations they will probably send. To prevent confusion and loss, the following method lor marking packages should be strictly observed. All Societies near Charleston, should ship to Charleston nhd mark thus: No. 1. TO QUARTERMASTER GENERAL Charleston, S. C. Trom Aid Society at (lierc insert place.) Societies near Columbia, should ship and mark thus: No. 1. TO ASSISTANT QUARTERMASTER, Columbia, S. C. From Aid Society (here insert name.) The packages should be marked distinctly, and numbered from one 1) upwards, A correct invoice should accompany each shipment. All articles shipped at the expense of the State. November 8 4 S. S. GLOVER, Q. M. G. S. C. -A.geii.cy Lynchburg Hose and Fire Insurance CompanyLYNCIIBURG, VA. ?o?
