HERE AS the two Acts of Conscription ^ passed by Congress have designated for onfederate service all from eigbteen up to rty-five, and the President ha*, under these cts actually called for all up to forty; and hereas he has agreed to accept, for temporary xvice on our coast, eight of tbo Regiments rmed from our First Corps of State Reserves, >d by thus accepting them has, for the period ninety days, exempted all in those Rcgients who were liable to conscription; and hcreRR this has deranged our whole organiza)n of reserve State force.1, and it is therefore icessary that there shall be a further and imediate organization made for the internal 'fence and police of the Slates: Now. kn?w ye, that I, FRANCIS W.PICKNS, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in id over the Stale of South Carolina, do sreby call upon all officers ami good citizens obey and enforce the resolutions of this itc hereunto annexed. Gen. Dean regard has made an urgent appeal at the eight Regiments oi Reserves recently dercd out shall be sent forward at as early a ly as possible, and I do hereby call upon the liccrs who command those Regiments to bring em forward, as the defence of their Slate id country requirers that I hey should report r duty at the earliest possible moment to the anfederalc Generals in command. Our State threatened, ami our honor requires that ery man shall do his duly. All personal sling* must be losl sight oi and forgotten in o present emergency. Let there be no dcY In rclfltiou to the police and internal safety the Stale, I trust that every man will be rthwith prepared to guard and protect ihc Iplcss and innocent horn anv of the dreadful iiscquciK cs which our brutal enemies seem ilermincd to inaugurate on or before the tirsi January next. Willi ihib view, I urge all itwcen the ages of sixteen and sixty-live to iroll themselves according to the resolution* ncunto attached. All persons who may be taken in any atinpts to produce disturbance amongst our ivcs or resistance to their masters, whether ider commission or l?y order* from United ales authority or not, shall he, if arrested by iv Slate troops or Slate police, banded over ihc authorities oi the Slate alone, lo be wit with iv-'felons.. There never h.is been ly period when our slaves were gcnomlly ore peaceable ami properly di-po>cd than at esenl, and 1 trust Unit n.i limine suspicion nnioiimled rumors will receive any liasty edeme. I do not expeel anything serious )in the infamous measures alluded to, but we vo U to our families ant! to the country to be live and guarded, for the next three months i no citizen of South Carolina be careless or ipivpared. Let all the District guards and lice referred to in the resolutions bc'ow be lincdiatcly and thoroughly organized. Let ere be a universal feeling of safety conscicnt upon strict organization and thorough cparation. In these perilous times, let there i no dissension or complaint at any temirary inconvenience or at any orders that ay appear, at first, unnecessary. Let the men age and worth step forward and set exames that all will feel and respect. The strength the community consists in strict obedience orders and to discipline. We nave no time cavil. Let every man sleep by his armor, icrc will be no danger unless from carelessis8 and neglect of duty. Let the wh?le State, ith one voice, rise tc the emergency, and we e safe from any foreign or domestic foe. ven under my hand and tho great seal of the State, at Columbia, this the 7th day of November, in the year of onr Lord one thou sand eight hundried and sixty-two, and in the eightyseventh'year of tho sovereignty and independence of the Stato of South Carolina F.
