To the Citizens of Charleston and the People of South Carolina generally, and to the Farmers and Planters especially, from the mountains to the seaboard. , M The Frco Market of Charleston, otjo of the noblest and most useful charities extant, after moro than a twelvo mouth of successful operation, is in danger of | suspension and even liual stoppage It is an institution, foundod hy private patriotism and benevolence. J endorsed by the oily authorities of Charleston, and 1 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, lighting the battles ol their coun- '1 try, or dead in hor service; and upward of eight huu- J dred families depend on itsbounty for their daily bread. I It has become a great public necessity, and it is the I duty of eveiy christian and patriot, male and female, 1 rich and poor, young and old, to contribute to its sup- | port, in proportion to means and ability?the rich man out of his wealth, the poor man out of his povorty, tho widow with hor mite?every large stream should pour, every littlo rill trickle its refreshing waters into this irreat ri?Ri?rv,?ir nf - n . u> |>ui;Muvik wiiuvuieiice, lO DO dispensed in God-blessed bounty to tbo wives ai.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 be one of the direst calamities that could befall our City and Slate?it would inflict dis V tress, sutlering, and even starvation on numbers now comfortably fed by its bounty, and perhaps, lead to bread-'i<>ts, in our conservative city, to her serious iujury and deep disgrace. Oon.e, then, fellow citizens, to the rescue, promptly, liberally, efficiently, and not only save the Free Market fiom destruction or suspension, but sustain it. in healthful vigor, as a God blessed and mau-blessing institution. Let donations in money and in kind pour in lavishly from every quarter of the City aud State; and the yonsequences will be happy indeed. Not only will bread, and meal, and moat be sustainingly furnished to soldier's aud seamen's families, but the heart of the warrior will b? cheered and his arm nerved to victorious battle against the vandal and ruthless foe, by the comforting conviction that his wile and little ones are patriotieully aDd sufficiently cared lor, 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, their barns and their sm<>Ue 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 oven tnore 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 Heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, nor thieves break in and steal.
