ou the 6th instant, by receiving certain volunteer
companies with their organization, which,
thotigh formed in part, were not complete at
the day of the proclamation of his Excellency
the Governor: and whereas, strong appeals
havfe been made in behalf of other Companies
not yet full; and whereas, it is found that the
proposed conscription cannot be effected, for
the want of a full return of the enrollment,
sooner than the 15th day of April next; therelore,
Resolved, That companies of the number of
68 aggregate will be received with their coin??

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.
