PROCLAMATION BT THE GOVERNOR.
STATE (>K S(>TTTH. O \ ROM \ A
executive department,
Columbia, November 7, 1862.
'^J'HEREAS 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 these
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 bo a further and
immediate oiganization made for the internal
defence and police of the States:
i\Tow, know ye, that 1, FRANCIS W.PICKENS,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in
and o,rer 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 reqnircrs 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 polico and internal safety
of tho State, I trust that every man will be
forthwith prepared to guard and protect the
helpless and innocent from any of the dreadful
consequences 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 amoggst our
slaves or resistance ?o 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 gcnorally
more peaceable and properly disposed than at
present, and I trust that no undue suspicion
or unfounded rumors will receive any hasty
credence. I do not expect anything serious
from the infamous measures alluded to, but we
owe it to our families and to the country to be
active and guarded, bor the next three months
let no citizen of South Carolina be careless or
unprepared. Let all the District guards and
police referred to in the resolutions below be
immediately and thoroughly organized. Let
there be a universal feeling of safety consequent
upon strict organization and thorough
preparation. In these perilous times, let there
be no dissension or complaint at any temporary
inconvenience or at any orders that
may appear, at first, unnecessary. Let the men
of age and worth step forward and set examples
that all will feel and respect. The strength
of the community consists in strict obedience
to orders and to discipline. Wo nave no time
to cavil. Let every man sleep by his armor.
There will bo no danger unless from carelessness
and neglect of duty. JLet 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 Colombia, this the 7th day of November,
in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundried and sixty-two, and in
the eightyseventh year of the sovereignty
and independence of the State of South Carolina
F: W. PICKENS.
.
1. Resolved., That the public safety imperiously
demands that all male white residents of
