The following appointments have been made

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.
Hunter Drafting Citizens^?Gen. Hunter
has issued an order directing that all civilians

should be drafted into the military service of
the United States Governmont, and assigned
to regiments from the States to which they respectively
belonged, or where there wore no
such regiments, then to those regiments numerically
the weakest.
