PROCLAMATION BY THE GOTEH- f
NOR. ]
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
kxxgutivk department,
Columbia, November 7t 1862.
WHEREAS the two Acts of Conscription
* * passed by Congress have designated for
Confederate service all from eighteen up to
forty-five, and the President has, under taese
Acts actually called' for all up to forty; and
whereas he has agreed to accept, for temporary
service on our coast, eight of the Regiments
formed from our First Corps of State Reserves,
and by thus accepting them has, for the period
'of ninety days, exempted all in those Regiments
who were liable to conscription; and
whereas this has deranged our whole organization
of reserve State forces, and it is therefore
necessary that there shall be a further and
immediate organization made for the internal
defence and police of the States:
Now, know ye, that 1, FRANCIS W.PICKENS,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in
and over the State of South Carolina, do
hereby call upon all officers and good citizens
to obey and enforce the resolutions of this
date hereunto annexed.
Gen. Beauregard has made an urgent appeal
that the eight Regiments of Reserves recently
ordered out shall be sent forward at as early a
day as possible, and I do hereby call upon the
officers who command those Regiments to bring
them forward, as the defence of their State
and country requirers that they should report
for duty at the earliest possible moment to the
Confederate Generals in command. Our State
is threatened, and our honor requires that
every man shall do his duty. All personal
feelings must be lost sight of and forgotten in
the present emergency. Let there be no delay.
In relation to the police and Internal safety
of the State, I trust that every man will be
forthwith prepared to guard and protect the
helpless and innocent from any of the dreadful
consequonces which our brutal enemies seem
determined to inaugurate on or before the first
of January next. With this view, I urge all
between the ages of sixteen and sixty-five to
enroll themselves according to the resolutions
hereunto attached.
All persons who may be taken in any attempts
to produce disturbance amongst our
slaves or resistance to their masters, whether
under commission or by orders from United
States authority or not, shall be, if arrested by
any State troops or State police, handed over
to the authorities of the State alone, to be
dealt with as felons. There never has been
any period when our slaves were generally
more peaceable and properly disposed than at
present, and I trust that no undue suspicion
e i ?j :n : i _
ui uiiiuuuucu iuujuib mil icvcivg auj unaij j
credence. I do not expect anything serious t
from the infamous measures alluded to, but we e
owe it to our families and to the country to be f
active and guarded, bor the next three months <
let no citizen of South Carolina be careless or :i
unprepared. Let all the District guards and i
police referred to in the resolutions below be i
immediately and thoroughly organized. Let ,i
there be a universal feeling of safety consequent
upon strict organization and thorough \
preparation. In these perilous times, let thore i
be no dissension or complaint at any tern- <
porary inconvenience or at any orders that ]
may appear, at first, unnecessary. Let the men 1
of age and worth step forward and set exam- i
pies that all will feel and respect. The strength j
of the community consists in strict obedience e
to-orders and to discipline. We have no time i
to cavil. Let every man sleep by his armor. 1
There will be no danger unless from careless- <
ness and neglect of duty. Let the whole State, <
with one voice, rise tc the emergency, and we
are safe from any foreign or domestic foe. <
Given under my hand and the great seal of the (
State, at Columbia, this the 7th day of No- 1
vember, in the year of our Lord one thou- 1
sand eight hundried and sixty-two, and in i
the eigntyseventh year of the sovereignty i
and independence of the State of South Car- <
olina F. W. PICKENS. i

1. Resolved, That the public safety imperi- i
