I T^foUowli^ bj il??
General. 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.

FREE MARKET OF CHARLESTON.
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.
