Woul4 it not be well for the citizens of Kershaw District to organize themselves into a military corps for the defence and protection of their families aDd property, in. the event of our vandal foe making a raid through the in+crioT of the State ? We would respectfully suggest the propriety of organizing and disciplining such a corp^. Our militia regiment is tolerably well officered?in fact some have had the experience of many years in military drill; but we are credibly informed, that the regiment has few, if any, effective arms, without which they would be helpless and entirely at the mercy of a horde who knows no such word in their vocabulary. Nearly every district if) the, State have already called meetings of the citi zens with such view. Cannot Kershaw act promptly and in concert with the adjacent districts ? Since the above has been placed in type we have received the proclamation of Gov. Bonham, calling upon the people of the State to v - * - - assemble on tne 7th of July, (the day appointed by the Adjutant & Inspector General, in his general order No. 20, which appearA in another column) at their respective regimental parade grounds, and to raise and organize the forces called for by the President for the , defence of the State.
