Marlboro, Darling;on, Marion, Sumter, Clarendon, Williamsburg and Horry, including Upper All Saints, forthwith to supply us proportion of slave labor, as follows: II. All owners of slaves within the said Districts shall furnish one hall'of their male slaves, subject to road duty, for one month, receiving credit iu the estimate for 'abor furnished under former calls. ?n me uoinmissioners of Koads oftho several Districts and the authorities of the incorporated towns and villages within the limits of this Division will, at once, summon all slaveholders within tho limits of their authority to furnish their respective quotas of slave labor, giving credit for labor already furnished and seeing that all fractions are represented, and not rejected as hitherto, which can easily bo dono by uniting fractions. IV. Overseers, at the rale of one to every hundred s aves to be selected by the owners or their agents, will be allowed, to rcceivq from tho Confederate Government pay at the rate of rtfly dollars per month. V. Receipts will be given to each owner, and an assessment of the valuo of the slaves made, a duplicate of which assessment will be furnishod to tho owner. VI. The Commissioners of Itoads and the authorities of the towns and villages as aforesaid, will cause tho slaves subject to this call within their respective jurisdictions. to be assembled at the Railroad Depot nearest the residence of their respective owners, on MONDAY, the 9th day of March proximo, at 10 o'clock, a in., ready for transportation to Charleston. The Act requires the attendance of one of the Commissioners at each Depot; lie will bo mot by an Agent of the State and ol the Confederate authorities. VII. The slaves will bo directed to come provided wiili spades or shovels. The Confederate authorities hnvp nlpfirrArl i m*? Apan/vK ufAnaiu T* :? 1 ..... ?t*w tvvuiu va ouv.ii uioitniia. J t IB UUV18CU that owners provide their slaves with three days' rations, although the Act requires the Confederate authorities losupply them. No doubt commutation will bo allowed. VIII. Thore is no doubt that the Confederate Government will compensate for.all damage to and loss of slaves; negotiations to that end are now pending. IX. The undersigned, in accepting, most reluctantly, the arduous office which requires him to bring this vexed question prominently and practically before the slaveholders of tlio State, asks leave to say to them that he is actuated by a sincere desire to be of serine to bi? country, fully appreciates all the delicate responsibilities and peculiar associations of the slave owner, and pledges himself 10 you to do all iu his power to protect your interests and ameliorate the condition of the slaves while undergoing the necossary hardships and exposures of this service. He trusts lie will be met by a sacrificing spirit of patriotism. Your Legislature arranged the scheme?your Governor orders it to be put in execution?and one whom you should be proud to call your General, calls now unon von fin* la. bor to assist him in defending your homes. Furnish, then, this labor ,promptly and cheerfully The fines for default will afford no compensation for a lost opportunity, wil' furnish you no consolation for bitter, una vailing, humiliating regrets. The work to be done is most important. most urgent, must be done now. You h?ve given yourselves, your means, your brothers and sons to our cause; hesitate not new in our last struggle; but give one more vigorous effort, and nobly increase yoursharo in the accomplishment of our glorious destiny.
