The proprietors of ' The Southern Punch" brine to the difficult task of suecesstully conducting sue h : journal the advantage of capital, abundant mcnta iv sources, and practical skill. The editor for many years past, has been connected, in a leading editorial capacity, with the largest daily papers of New 0>leons and Mobile, while the gentleman who will have charge of typographical and engraving dcparimeuts is unsurpassed in that skill necessary for success. Every number will be illustrated with numer-' us cuts, appropriate to the times (humorous and serious), from the hands of one of the best engravers on the continent?an artist whose name is familiar to the reading pUb..2of the South.

September 11 2 CIBCULAII AffD APFCAlL FREE MARKET OF CHARLESTON. To the Citizens of Charleston and the People of South Carolina generally, and to the Farmers and Planters especially, from the mountains to the seaboatd { The Free Market of Charleston, one of the noblest and most useful charities extant, after more than a twelve month of successful operation, is in danger (4 suspension aud even final stoppage. It is an institution, founded by private patriotism and benevolence, cudorsed 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, froo of expense, to the needy familias of soldiers aud seamen, fighting the battles ol their country, or dead in hor 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 supiport, in pioportion to means and ability?the rich man out of his wealth, the poor man out of his poverty, the widow with her mite?every largo stream should pour, every little rill trickle its refreshing waters into this great reservoir of patriotic benevolence, to be dhpeused in God-blessed bounty to the wives at.d children, the widows and orphans, the sisters and other female dependents, of our brave soldiery and seamen. The final stoppage, or even the suspension, of this charity would bo one of the direst calamities that could befall our City and State?it would inflict dis ui'sk, suuermg, aiiu even starvation on numbers 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, efliciently, 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 donations in money and in kind pour in lavishly from evory quarter of tho City and State; and the consequences will be happy indeed. Not only will bread, and meal, and meat be eustainhigly furnished to soldier's and seamen's families, but the heart of the warrior will be cheered and his arm nerved to Victorious battle against the vandal and ruthless foe, the comforting conviction that his wife and little ones are patriotically and sufficiently cared for, by their fellow citizens, at hoito?. Lot our farmers and planters especially, in every section of the State, send liberal supplies of vegetables and provisions, from their gardens, their fields, their barns and their smoke houses; and swell to overflowing 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 even more than the receiver. Come up, then, one and all, to the hallowed work, and not only earn the soldier's and seamen's undying gratitude, but lay up treasure in He^Ven, whore neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, nor thieves break iu aU(J g^0J|] RICHARD YEADON, Chairman ) WM.
