/ | THE GEN. COMMANDING, HAVING
X* miiJA n rAnniait An tin* SSt.uto A nthnfihut
\ for Twenty-five Hundred Laborers, the Commissioners
of the Roads and the Town Authorities
within the Judical Districts of Lancostcr,
Kershaw, Chesterfield, Marlboro, Darlington,
Marion, Sumter, Clarendon, Williamsburg, and
Horry, including Upper All Saints, will forthwith
summon all slaveholders within their respective
limits to deliver one-fourth of their
slaves liable to road tluty at the Depots nearest
the owper'a residence, at 10 o'clock a. in. on
Wednesday, the fifteenth day of July proximo
[15th July], for transportation to Charleston
lor thirty days' labor on the fortifications.
II. Tho legislature, at the April session exeraptedrthe
owners of.one road hand from liability
under this act, those who own two 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 fractions
may unite them and sendouc hand out of every
four.
III. Overseesrs at the rate of one to every
hundred hands are allowed, to be selected by
the owners and paid by the Confederate Government
Fifty Dollars per month.
IV. Receipts will be given at the Depots for
the Negroes, and assessments in duplicate arc
made of the negroes before they arp put to
work.
V. The Act reqaires the attendances of one
of the Commissioners at each Depot; ho will
be met by an Agqnt authorized to receipt for
the negroes.
VI. Owners are requested to furnish their
hands with spades.or snovels and throe days'rations:
the Government have promise to return
the tools, and commutation will be allowed for
the rations.
* VII. Owners who hire substitntes will furnish
me with a copy of the receipt taken for snich
substitutes, in order that the Government and
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 Commissipn\
ers, <Sic, will cause the hands to assemble attliu
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 that every possible care is taken of the
negroes; their health has been good, and every
frunfnrt. haa bppn nrnvirl.ifl Tlu>v nrp
promptly discharged at the end of *hc 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 due being almost entirely exhausted
on the last call, it is earnestly hoped
that number required of this division will be
promptly furnished; 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 boch postponed until
the press of tho plantation work is over; it
would hftve 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.

Harman Arrants
HAS THOUGHT PIT DISINGENUOUSLY AND"
misoheviOusly to publish the fact, that I refused to
seceive Confederate Treasury Notes in payment of
specie funds lent him in January 1860, to be paid in
one week, and which he has unfairly withheld, when
1 needed it, and now attempts to excite odium against
me for refusing to receive, in reality, fifteen or twenty
cents on the dollar of my debt, lor the Confederate
' currency, which, according to published reports, is
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-fifths
of mv debt for his benefit onlv. for he did in fact re
ceiv'e the Treasury Notes, not as equivalent to money?
coin, or evon bank notes?for he sold his 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
Notos as equivalent to real money in its transactions?
in payment of coin debts due it?why should I do so,
merely for for Mr. Arrants advantage? Let him loan
it to the government for its Bonds at par, or use it in
any other way he pleases, and wjien the currency im- *
proves let him pay me what he borrowed.

with the Confederate forces in the open
field, have 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 inhumanly
placing them in military organization to
be shot down in the front of battle; they have
inaugurated a system Qf raids into the interior
of the States, stealing negroes, burning cities
and farms, destroying live stock and growing
crops, and spreading desolation everywhere in

and to render practicable greater concentration
of onr forces already in the field, and to afiord
adequate internal protection to the Statesv the
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 he calls for
five thosand men for the period of six months
from the first day of August next, to bo furnished
by draft, unless in the intermediate time
a volunteer force organized under the act herewith
published "To provide for local defence
and special 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 be seen by an examination
of the Act, and are for special service
only within the 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,
Governor and Commander-in-chief in and over
the State 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 defenco of the State. For two long years
your brothers have borne tho brfant of this war
for independence on the frontiers of the Confederacy.
The time has now arrived to show
yourselves worthy of these gallant men by protecting
their homes, their wives and their children,
in common with your own.
Until the above organization takes place, it
is recommended to the citizens of the State
to continue existing voluntary organizations
and to form immediately others with such
arras as they have, for the protection of every
neighborhood, especially- along the rivers and
arms of the sea. Many a deadly volley maybe
successfully delivered at the raiders in their
boats from the bluffs and forests lining their
banks.
Immediately after the requisition of the
President is filled, the Governor will take steps
for a more complete organization for neighborhood
protection of such as are less fitted by
years or otherwise for the active duties of a
compaign.
