to prevent their promptly furnishing the labor which
shall he called for by Col. WILLIAM M. SHANNON,
the State Agent, whose duty and pleasure it will be
to see that their slaves are properly cared for. I also
oxbort that important and responsible body, the commissioners
of Roads, who havo served the State so
faithfully without fee or reward, to discharge firmly
and efficiently their laborious duties, under the statues,

rIN PURSUANCE OF AN ACT OF THE
General Assembly entitled "An Act to organize
and supply Negro Labor lor Coast Defence" Ac., i stifled
on the 18th of December, 1862, and "An Act to
amend the same," ratified on the Gth of February,
1863, and by authority of his Excellency Governor
Bonhnm, and under requisition from General Beauregard,
I hereby call upon Division No. 2, comprising
the Judicial Distiicts ot Lancaster, Kersnaw, Chesterfield.
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

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.
