March 2S. 1 CIRCTJLA.lt. To Hie Soulier!*' Aid Socielie* of S. C. In answer to the numerous enquiries which hnve been made hv the different " Aid Societies which have been recently formed throughout the State, I have been iutructed by bis Kxcelleney Gov. Pickens, to give the following information. Depots will be established by the Quartermaster General, both in Charleston and < olumbia, for the reception of all donations of clothing; and he is also churned with the duty of forwarding aud distributing the same. The " Department" will feceive all donations of clothing, say frock coats and pantaloons, of heavy worsted goods, shirts and drawers, of heavy home* spun or flannel, wool, or heavy cotton socks, blankets, new or second hand, also heavy shoes. The plan upon which the State designs supplying her soldiers with ah neccssar}-- clothing, is based upon their willingness to surrender to the State the amount of money appropriated by the Confederate Government for this purpose, say forty-two ($42) per annum, this sum not now being sufficient in consequence of the greatly advanced cost of material. It is in view of this fact that these l?udab o "Associations" of ladies and gentlemen, are cordially welcomed as coadjutors in ibis nobie work, and ?n proportion to their voluntary contributions of labor and maleiii Is will the absolute cost of clothing for our gallant volunteers be reduced. In the event that any of the Associations" should not feel themse ves ab>e to furnish both material and labor, the Quartermaster General is instructed by his Excellency t' o Governor, to re-miburso such Associations the cost of al. materials, at a rate not exceeding ! s-imilar materials mirehased bv tne " Denartment and the quantity allowed lor each garment shall be the same as used in our Manufacturing Bureau. Societies are particularly requested to advise the Quartermaster General of the quantity of work they can do per week, and the amount of donations they will probably send. To prevent confusion and loss, the following method lor marking packages should be strictlj' observed. All Societies near Charleston, should snip to Charleston ahd murk thus: No. 1. TO QUARTERMASTER GENERAL ClIAIiLESTON, S. C. Trom Aid Society at (here insert place.) Societies near Columbia, should ship and mark thus .>o. 1. TO ASSISTANT QUARTERM ASTER, Columbia, S. 0. 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. In Equity?Kershaw District.
