SLA?E LABOR FOR THE COAST. DIVISION NO. a. THE GEN. COMMANDING, IIAVIN9 A* made a requiait on the State Authorities for Twenty-five Hundrod Laborers, the Commissioners of the Roads and the Toym Authorities within the Judical Districts of Lancostcr, Kershaw, Chesterfield, Marlboro, Darlington, Marioft, Sumter, Clarendon, Williamsburg, and ilorry, including Upper All Saints, will forthwith shramon all slaveholders within their respective limits to deliver one-fonrth of their ?lavcs liable to road duty at the Depots nearest tbc owner's residence, at 10 o'clock a. m. on Wednesday, the fifteenth day of July proximo [15th July], for transportation to Charleston for thirty days' labor on the fortificatious., . . II. The legislature, at the April session exempted the owners of one road hand from liability under this act, those who own ttoe or three, or a fraction over a number divisible by one fourth, will sond forward one hand for such . fraction or two owners having such fractious may unite them and sond one hand out of every four.

Receipts will be given at the Depots for the nogroefc, and assessments in duplicate arc made of the negroes before they are ' put to work. V. The Act requires the attendances of one of the Commissioners at each.Depot; ho will be met by an Agent authorized to receipt for the negroes. VI. Owners are requested to furnish their hands with spades or shovels and three days' rations; the Government have promise to return the tools, and commutation wili be allowed for the'rations. / VII. Owners who hire substitntes will furnish me with a copy of the receipt taken for such substitutes, in order that the Government an<J all parties concerned may be protected. VIII. The press of business on the Rail roads making it difficult for the companies to furnish transportatson at given hour, the Commissioners^ &c, will cause the hands, to assetnble at the hour named above and there wait the passage of the train. IX. The undersigned, after three months experience, take pleasure in assuring the slave owners tnat evory possible care is taken of the negroes; their hoalth has been good, and every possible comfort has been provided. . They are promptly discharged at the end of the thirty days, which is not only satisfactory to the owner as complying with his just and reasonable expectations, but this constant rotation is almost a safeguard against camp diseases. X. The credits duo being almost entirely exhausted on. the last call, it is earnestly hoped that number required of this division will bo promptly furnish ed; one fourth of the hands, if sent forward, would more than supply the demand. The importance of the work is such as should induce us all to( make every possible sacrifice: The call has been postponed "until v the press of the plantation work is over; it would have been made for June but for this motive, and a prompt and full response to this call may make it the last on this Division. wm. m. shannon, Agent for the State of South Carolina.

I do not require specie of Mr. Arrants, or, in fact, anything at this time; but I cannot consent to be robbed of four-fifth a of ray debt for his benefit only, for be did in fact receive the Treasury Notes, not as equivalent to money? coin, or even bank notes?for he sold bis property and products at enormous prices in the depreciated currency he now attempts unjustly to force upon me, The government itself does not treat the Treasury Notes as equivalent to real money in its transactions? in payment of coin debts due it?why should I do so, merely for for Mr. A rrants advantage ? Let him loan it to the government for its Bonds at par, or use it in any other way he pleases, and when the currency improves lot him pay me what he borrowed. June 19 2 E. AtKKRSON.

OUR VANDAL FOE UNABLE TO COPE with the Confederate forces in the open field, liavo resorted to a mode of warfare which arouses the indignation.of every heart capable of a patriotic emotion. Not content with wresting peaceful citizens from their homes and confining them in loathesome dungeons; and with seizing our contented slaves and inhuinanlv nlacincr thnm in milif?f? .... -j t ? . nun j uigaiiilHllUIl TO be shot down in tho fronl of battle; they have inaugurated a system of raids into the interior of the States, stealing negroes, burning cities and farms, destroying live stock and growing crops, and spreading desolation everywhere in their track* To meet this condition of things and to render practicable greater concentration of our forces already in the field, and to afford adequate internal protection to the States, the I President of the Confederacy deems it expedient to call for a portion of their reserve force for service within their respective limits. Upon the Governor of South Carolina Mic calls for live tho8and men for the period oUsix months from the first day of August next, to be furnished by draft, unless iti the intermediate timo a volunteer force organized under the act herewith published "To provide for local defence anch&pecial service," at least an equal number be mustered and reported to the War Department as subject to the call of the President for service within the State. These organizations may be voluntary, as will bo seen by an examination of the Act, and arc for special service only within t^ie State, under officers of their own selection and with -the privilege of remaining at home in the pursuit of their ordinary avocations unless called for a temporary exigency to active duty : Now therefore, I, MILLEDGE L. BONHAM, Sovernor and Commander-in-chief in and over ibe 6tatc of South Corolina, call upon the people of the State to assemble on the day fixed in the annexed orders at their respective Regimental parade grounds and to raise and organized the forces called for by the President for the defence of the State.

The time has now arrived to show yourselves worthy of these gallant men by projecting their homes, their wives and their children, in common with your own. Until the above organization takes, place, it S recommended to the citizens of the State to continue existing voluntary organizations ind to form immediately others with such irms as they have, for the protection of every leighborbood, especially al'ong the rivers and irms of the sea. Many a deadly volley maybe uccessfully delivered at the raiders in their :>oats from the bluffs and forests lining their lanks. Immediately after the requisition of the President is filled, the Governor will take steps or a more complete organization for neighbor- 1 lood protection of such as are less fitted by rears or otherwise for the active duties of a jompaign.
