STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. Headquarters, March 5, 1861. rFHE PRESIDENT OF TI1E CONFEDERate States, through the Secretary of W ?r, has called on me, as Governor of South Carolina, to furnish five more regiments for and during the war. Now, then, under this requisition, I do hereby call for men to come forward as volunteers, individually and separately, or by companies now formed of not less than sixty-eight aggregate to the principles laid down in the resolutions of the Council hereunto attached. Ten ders of service will be inadc in writing to the Adjutant General's ofKce in Coluutbia. Those volunteering as individuals will be formed into companies as soon as possible, the officers to be appointed by the Governor and Council. The Secretary of War, in his requisition, says, that "each soldier will receive a bounty of fifty dollais when the Regiment or Company is mustered into service, and will be allowed transportation from his home to the place of rendezvous," and will also bo oloihed, supplied and armed at the expense of the Confederate States. No man liable to duty will be allowed to enter any other company now in service for any term, less than the war, until this requisition for five infantry regiments be complied with. If tiies-e Reg incuts are not formed by volunteers by the 2Uth instant, then a conscription w ill be made to meet the balance of the requisition, upon prin- j ciples winch win he announced in gun oral or- 1 ders of detail issued by the Chief of the Military Department, in connection with the Adjutant and Inspector-General. 1 need not make an appeal to the people to meet this requisition. The country is in dan- j ger. We have met with reverses. There is no alternative. We must fight for our homes i and our altars. No people are fit to be free tin- ' less they are willing to march through the per- ; ils of severe coufiict and battle. This State [ was the cradle of the revolution. Let her sons now hang out their battle tlags from every i home. Let us make the State one entrenched | camp, anu, 11 we are 10 inn, lei every ireeman find, at least, a soldier's grave. Let all come to their country's call. If we are brave and true, there is no permanent danger. Without ditlicnlty and peril, independence itselt would not be valued. No people were ever tree without dangers and struggles. Our true safety is to meet every danger with more indomitable courage, and to rise higher with any and evendisaster. In the war of our lirst revolution, South Carolina passed through far more despe rate trials. Under the guide of the God of Uattlcs, we must rise to our destiny, and Irom our very defeats gather renewed strength in the defence of our firesides and of our homes. Given under my hand and the seal of the State at Columbia, this the 5th day of j March, in the year of our Lord one ;hou? [L.s.Jand eight hundred and sixty-two, and ot the independence of the State of South Carolina the eighty-sixth. \\ W. PICK ENS.
