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.
III. Overscesrs at the rate of one to every
Un'nJ.nJ 1 1 ? J " * *
iiuhuicu nnuu6 ?rc anowea, 10 oc selected l)V
the owners and paid by the Confederate Cov-ernmcnt
Fifty Dollars per month.
, IV. 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.

HAS THOUGHT FIT DlSIJ(jbFNUOU8LT AND
mischeviously to publish the (set, that I. refused to
seceivo Confederate Treasury Notes in payment of
specie funds lent him in January 1860, to be paid in
one week, and which he lias unfairly withheld, when
1 neoded it, and now attempts to excite odium against
meVor refusing to receive, in reality, fifteen or twenty
cents on the dollar of my debt, lor. the Confederate
currency, which, according to published reports, id
selling five or six for one in specie. 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.

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

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. For two long years,

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.
