December IS 4 R. SPRINGER. ; I STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. EXECUTIVE COUNCIL CHAMBER, ) flmiTMPii S f! Anvil OA 1 ftftO ( fMlHE FOLLOWING ^RESOLUTIONS 1 were adopted by the Governor and Council, and were ordered to be published: 1 The Congress of the Confederate States of ] America having passed an Act entitled "An ( { Act to Further Provide for the Public Defence,'" ; approved April ?, 1802, which authorizes the ; ' President to call out and place in the military ^ service of the Confederate States for three years, unless the war shall have been sooner ended, all white men who arc residents ofthcConfed- ] erate States between the ages of eighteen (18) and thirty-five (3f>) except those oxempt by law, the Governor and Council, as representing , the authority of the State, are induced to waive, for the present, all objections to the measure, and to give it a cheerful and energetic support, 1 upon the ground of imperious public necessity. ' The operation of the Act aforesaid takes all the 4.-^:..l :-_ L-i *i - - - * - * luateriHi ui armies ueiween uie ages mentioned { , from the control of the State, whether for active duty in the field or for internal and police defence. To meet this new condition of thing's 1 it becomes necessary that the State shall adopt further measures to organize its forces and ( provide for its defence. Therefore, be it 1. Resolved, That a State Reserve Force shall be organized as promptly as practicable, to consist of two corps. 2. That the first corps shall embrace all male citizens of this State between the ages ot thirtyfive (35) and fifty (50) years, who shall be held, for active service wherever required by the State authorities, and be still subject to the performance of patrol and police duty until 1 called into active service. 3. That the second corps shall embrace all those persons who are by law exempted from ordinary militia duty, all alien residents, and all male citizens between the ages of sixteen (1G) and eighteen (18) and fifty (50) and sixtyfive (G5) years, who shall be held for the per/ . * _ .

That to effect the organization of the several corps of reserves, it shall be the duty of the Adjutant and Inspector-General to cause a prompt and accurate enrollment of all persons embraced within the two classes specified, as well as those embraced in the said Act of Congress,specifying in each case on the roll with the names the exemptions, if any, and the causes and evidences thereof; the age, and the dtstrict, parish, regiment and beat company within which the persons respectively may reside. And for this purpose the Adjutant and Inspector-General shall employ the agencies provided in the first resolution adopted by the Governor and Council on the 6th of March 1862, to comply with the requisition made bv the Secretary of War for five regiments from this State; and he will use such "other instru- | mentalities as he may deem proper.

I February 28 i \ From Memphis. Memphis, April 25.?{Despatch to the Sa'annah Republican.)?The Louisville Journal >f the ITtli inst., says llie Federal Congress has irdered an investigation into the surprise of ihe Federal forces at Shiloh. The indignation of the people at the unnecessary and heavy loss of life, through the surprise, is said to be Treat throughout the North. It is reported, lays the Journal, that Mr. Stanton, the Federal Secretary of War, has resigned, owing to political differences with the administration. Matters at Corinth and the neighborhood remain as they wore. There is no immediate prospect of a renewal of the fight The Federals saem to have taken a second thought at Fort Pillow. Accounts just received from the fort report that all is quiet. "Highly Important?a Valuable Despatch from Gen. Beauregard Intercepted." ?Under this heading the New York Herald publishes the following despatch from Nashville, under date of 15th instant. Later information from the South is of the utmost importance. Beauregard's army has been terribly demoralized, and, according to his own confession, he has now only 35,000 men. The following telegram has been intercepted by Gen. Mitchell, and is a full confession of the hopelessness of the rebel cause in the West. 1 append it verbatim, leaving you to comment on its importance. Corinth, April 9. To Gen. Samuel Cooper, llichmoud, Va.? All present probabilities are that whenever the enemy move on this position, he will do so with an overwhelming force of not less than 85,000 men We can now muster only 35,000 effectives. Van Dorn may possibly join us in a few days with about 15,000 more. Can we not be reinforced from Pemberton's army ? If defeated here we lose the Mississippi Valley and probably our cause. Whereas, we could even afford to lose, for a while, Charleston and Savannah, for the purpose of defeating Buell's army, which would not only insure us the Valley of the Mississippi, but our independence. rp t>_. \J. 1 . J)LAL HhU AUL). Reported Death of General Buell.? The evidence ot the death of General Bnell is circumstantial, hut does not admit of a reasonable doubt. Among the prisoners taken by us was Mr. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, a farmer member of the old United States Congress, who was accompanying the army in the capacity of chaplain of one of the regiments. He declares that Buell was killed, which is the concurrent testimony of all the prisoners who have said anvthinor on the snhiee.t.. On the second day of the Pittsburg battle a flag of truce was sent into the enemy's lines by General Beauregard with reference to the burial of the dead on the battle field, which was replied to by Genera[ Grant, who would not have been authorized to treat on the subject if the senior General in command (Buell) had not fallen in the action.?Richmond Examiner. The Yankee tax don't appear to meet with much favor even in Delaware. The Federal forces were lately withdrawn from the Eastern Shore of Maryland to go into Delaware in order to put down a war tax rebellion in that State. A gentleman on the Eastern Shore, who is not considered wealthy, is assessed with a war tax of ?1,500, possibly more than one half r>f bi? rr*vf?ntio With this prospect staring us in the face, what should the South not do and %auffer to avert subjugation. Gen. Shields Reported Dead.?A gentle man recently arrived here from the Valley, says that it was reported and believed in that section, that Gen. Shields had died of his wound. Two eminent surgeons were sent, or taken up to Winchester, bj Seward; but the life of Shields could not be saved. ' It is supposed that mortification had ensued. We give the report as we received it, without vouching for its truth.?Lynchburg Virginian. From Fast Tennessee* Knoxville, Tennfssee, April 25.?A prisoner, escaped from Lexington, Kv., says that ten thousand of the enemy are concentrating at that place to make a descent on Cumberland Gap. The Nashville Banner has been suppressed by order of Andy Johnson. The enemy are fortifying Iluntsvllle, Ala. The soutnern cause is daily gaining ground in K^totucky, owing to the Yankee' War Tax and Emancipation scheme. Fatal Railroad Accident. Mobile, April 23.?The up train, which left here yesterdry for Corinth, ran off the track a few miles abo\e Enterprise, Miss., killing six men, among them live soldiers of the 19th South Carolina Regiment. About twenty were wounded. The Bloody Battle ofShiloh.?We learn from gentlemen just arrived from Corinth that the battle of Shiloh was, considering the numbers engaged, one of the greatest aud blodiest conflicts of latter days?decidedly the most sanguinary ever fought upon this continent, if we except those of the Conqueror Cortez. Manassas and every other battle of the war pales before it. We are positively assured that Gen. Beauregard lost between 1,600 and 1,800 men killed | outright, and over 7,000 or 8,000 wounded* The Federal loss is perhaps correctly estimated at about 15,000 killed, wounded and missing. The Yankee Newspapers themselves admit a total loss of between 10,000 and 15,000 men. ?Richmond Enquirer. Northern Taxes.?The Northern people have rushed into every kind of expense to carry on the war of subjugation, regardless of the future. They are issueing promises to pay without count as fast as their presses can print them. The Cincinnati Times is authority for saying that by the first of the approaching July their war debt will be one thousand five hundred millions of dollars; and that owing to the increased expense of transportation in conducting the invasion into the interior of the South; their Secretary of War asserts that the expense of the war is now file millions of dollars a day. !N~ otice.
