Assembly oPthis Stat?, at the sesaiou held iu January, 1863: I \ ReS&ved. That in theofcrifcion df this Geoqral Assembly, it is pr< per and just that the State should compensate the owners of slaves taken by the authority of the State for, the public service, who have died from diseases contracted in said service, and whose death or loss has been 'occasioned by reason of said service. Resolved, That the several Claims now before the Legislature, as wellaa others that may hereafter arise, be nrMentnd in J?mn* 'Pimn>i> tiW, a?u?? * ' x ? T~ " ? ? ?? ? CfVl f I ^'V?VW -CX UU1VVI y to be audited. Also, that said 'Auditor be authorized and reqtired to call for any additional proof that he may deem necessary to establish said claims; and that he report to the na^t session of the Legislature - each claim allowed, with the evidence on which bis judgment is based ? II. All claims now on file in this office, or which may be hereafter submitted for audit under the forgoing resolution, should be supported by the affidavit of the claimant, which affidavit should set forth as many of the followiug facts ae the said claims can make oath to according to his"knowledge, information or be lief: 1. The name and residence of the owner of the slaves. 2. The name, age and qualifications of the slave, and his condition of health at the tirhb of impressment by the authority of the State. 3. .The tinje when; the agent of the State by whom; and the period for which the impressment was made. 4 The location of the fortifications or other public works on which the slaves was employed; the duration of said employment; and the name of the officer or other person having the charge of the Blave while in the public service. 6. The circumstances of the loss; il oy, death, the nature of the diseases; when and where contracted; by what physician (if any) it was treated, and when and where it terminated, if by escape, when and how the escape was effected, and whether to the enemy or otherwise. III. The statement of the claimant as to the ownership, impressment and loss of the slave, should be corroborated by affidavit of at least one disinterested person The fact of the impressment 'should be verified, whenever practicable, by the agent of the State by whom the impressment was made, or by one of the Commissioners of Koads for the District or Parish from which the slave was taken, or by the officer or overseer having charge of the slave while in the public service. The circumstu?.ces of the loss should be establised in case of death, by the attendiug physician, if one was employed, and his testimony can bo obtained; and in case of escape, by the person having charge of the .-slave at the time of escape, if his evidence can be obtained. IV. In addition to the foregoing proof, the value oftheslave at the time of impressment should bo assessed by two disinterested citizens of the District or Parish from which the slave was taken, who shall be flrrt sworn to appraise the said slave fairly and impar tially. V. If the owner of the slave is dead, or is laboring under any legal disability, the evidence tending to establish the ownership, impressment and loss may be adduced by the proper legal representative of such owner, who should make affidavit of the facts indicated in Section II, according to his knowledge, information and belief. The affidavit of the ownor. or of his representative, unsupported by other evidence, will not betaken as conclusive of the facts stated therein, un less it shall appear that other and higher evidence cannot be obtain, which fact should bo distinctly set forth in the affidavit of the said party. And the officer taking the affidavit should stato in his certificate of authentication whether, in his opinion, the said party is or is not entitled to credit. VI. The following form of certificate of authentication is suggested: STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, District. I, , Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas and Goneral Sessions (or other officer authorized to administer oaths) of said District and State, do hereby certify that the foregoing affidavits of and appraisment by , were sworn to before me by the said parties, whose genuine signature are subscribed thereto; and that the said affiants and appraisers are well known to me to be persons of veracity and credibility In testimony whereof I hereunto subscribe my name and affix the seal of said Court, [l. s.] (or my official seal) at , this day of , 1863. [Signature and title of officer.] VII. No provision /las been made by Confederate Government for compensating owners for slaves lost in the public service prior to April, 1863. The recent Act of Congress " to authorize and regulate the impressment 01 private property lor the use of the army and for other military purposes," applies to the future, and has no retrospective eliect. This Act, however, recognize the principle of compensation by the Government for such losses; and it is to be presumed that provision will be made by future Congressional legislation for their payment. The mode of proof indicated in the foregoing articles -conforms in all important particulars to the requirements of the Impressment Act of the last session of Congress, and agrees in its main-features with the provisions of the Act of provisional Congress, approved 80th April, 1863, for " perpetuating testimony" in cases of slaves lost during the war. This conformity is deemed important, in view of the character of the proof which the State will be required to make, in establishing her demand against the Confederate Government for money advanced to hor citizens on claims for which the said Government is primarily liable.

To the Citizen* of Charleston and the People of South Carolina generally, and to the Farmer & and Planters especially, from the mountains to the seaboard Tha U..I?l /iL.-l?*? - ? ....w i.pc lumikci, oi vyii?rieauon, one 01 l>ne noblest 1 and most useful charities extant, after more than > I twelve month of successful operation, is in danger of I suspension and even final stoppage. It is an instiiu- ! tion, founded by private patriotism and benevolence, endorsed by the city authorities of Charleston, and recognized and encouraged by the Legislature of the State. Its great and highly useful purposes is to supply provisions, free of expense, to the needy familias of soldiers and seamen, fighting the battles of thoir country, or dead in her service; and upward of eight hundred families depend on its bounty for their daily bread. It has become a great public necessity, and it is the duty of every christian and patriot, male and female, rich and poor, young and old, to contribute to its sup- ? port, in proportion to means and ability?the rich man itjj out of his wealth, the poor man out of his poverty, ' j the widow with her mite?every large stream should pour, every little rill trickle its refreshing waters into this great reservoir of patriotic benevolence, to be dispensed in God-blessed bounty to the wives and children, the widows and orphans, the sisters and other female dependents, of our brave soldiery and seamen. The final stoppage, or evon the suspension, of this charity would be one of the direst, calamities that could befall our City and State?it would inflict dis tress, suffering, and even starvation on numbeip now comfortably fed by its bounty, and perhaps, lead to bread-riots, in our conservative city, to her serious injury and deep disgrace. Come, then, fellow citizens, to the rescue, promptly, liberally, efficiently, and not only save the Free Market from destruction or suspension, but sustain it, in healthful vigor, as a God blessed and man-blessing institution. Let donation*! in money and in kind pour in lavishly from every quarter of the City and State; and the consequences will be happy indeed. Not only will bread, and meal, and meat be sustain ingly famished to soldier's and seamen's families, but the heart of the warrior will bo sheered and his arm nerved to victorious battle against the vandal and ruthless foe, by the comforting conviction that his wife and little ones are patriotically and sufficiently cared for, by their fellow citizens, at home. Let our farmers and planters especially, in every section of the State, send liberal supplies of vegetables and provisions, from their gardens, their fields, theig barns and their smoke houses; and swell to oversowing the great reservoir of Free Market charity. Charity is twice blessed?it blesseth him that gives ?[ as well as him that receives?and blesses the giver 1 aven more than the receives. ' Come up, then, one and all, to the hallowed work, ?4| and not only earn the soldier's and seamen's undying ^ gratitude, but lay up treasure in Heaven, where nei ;her moth nor rust doth corrupt, nor thieves break in tnd steal.
