had an es? incite made by one of General
Hill's (or Locg--AtLe;V)1 staff, and, as it is' no
doubt a very fai*ono, I append it ; Ewcll's

Hill's c^'ps. lii.OOO; Anderson's corps, 0,'(>00;
Gordon's corps, 7,00*7; artillery, iV>0o; cavalry,

command,) -1,000. Total oG,')00.' In addi
tion to these Jan be adjed, teamsters and
train men. 3,OQ0; either "fion-combufants, 5,000;
or, in other'words, the total strength of Lee's
army was G7,O0O. ' .
Of these wo have - captured nearly 40,000
men during the campaign in actual combat,
and on Sunday the army surrendered , by Lee
was 22f)00.' However, this iV n.?i much odt
of the way. Without going into any state
.ment-of onr forces, I may venture to say that
the number of our troops actually engaged in
the pursuit of Lee was uot over 75,Odd men.
Of coursp, our reserves woufd swell this fignro
considerably, but no occasion arose for 'their
" employment, except to hold the evacuated cities
of-Richmond-and Petersburg.

Fall in Prices.?- Since the announcement

removal of restrictions on, internal and coastwise

cciuia, lias deen, followed by the snrrcDdfer of
the army tiuder the comrHand of Joliston
in North Carolina. To these armies, South
Oarotina lias contributed, wi^h very inconsiderable
exceptions, her entire male population.
The brave men in these armies who have
survived the bloody war of the past four, years,
are now returning home, as prisoners- o? war,
on their parole ; arid unable again to take up
their arms until the conditions have b.^n performed
upon which their captivity- has been
terminated.
Th'c Government of"the Confederate States,
in the'creation of which South Carolina united'
with her sister States, has suspended its civil
and military authority, and the high duty of
providing measures fur tho welfare of its citi-. I
| zens, by a stern necessity, bhs been developed
upon the. Government' of the Stafc.
In tlii-yincxpeetcd termination ofthc active,
powers of Government,.in peace and in war,
wbioli South Oai'olina granted to the common
Government of the Confederate States, circumstances
have rendered the condition of this
State one of-peculiar embarrassment. Deepjy
suffering /rqin the consequences of the war, in
many respects, in nome is that suffering more
__ L 1
peculiarly trying than -in ?tbe misery wnicn.
now affects a considerable pprtion of its population;
which-threutehs a larger portion, and
may involve tlic^vholc. of it in the suffering
which want, approaching starvation, has produced
and will produce* The largo supplies
contributed tq the snpport of the armies of the
(Confederation had been given at a time when
abupdance enabled the population'to ben? its
withdrawal wifhout aggravated suffering, But
the great destruction ofAneans of subsistence
at the present time, and the difficulties of securing
it in the future by the neit crop, had,
even before the reverses which befell the fcrmies
of the Confederation, satisfied all that it would
be impossible to part with |he 'supplies which
had been gathered for the'armies, without destroying
the support of the population, in qjaoy
portions of the State. And attempts were rarfdc
to inform the authorities of the Confederate
Govornmei^t, that not only thtJ apprehension'
tut the certainty of evil .consequences would
pjevent tjie removal of all bu& supplies.
With the dissolution of thef armies of the
Confederation, the necessity for these supplies
has ceased; with the removal of that necessity
arises the stronger obligation upon the authorities
of the State, to preserve these supplies for
the mitigation of the suffering of the people .of
the. State.. To that end, therefore, it is now
declared that all" subsistence stores and proper;
ty of the Confederate States, within the. limits
of the Suite; should be turned over -to and
accounted for % the agents of the State appointed
for that purpose* The subsistence
and other stores to be used for the relief of the
people of the State, and the other property of
whatever kind1 'to be hold for the common
benefit of the State, and subject .to such distrj-'
butiou as may be hdreafter determined upon.
by the proper authorities of the State.
It will be recognized a3 a duty in the high-'
est degree obligatory upon the agents of the
State who will receive thege supplies, to j>eovidc;out
of them freely to the soldiers vpf this
and other States passing-through our litres who
may need aid. Subjectto tljis claim, all such,
supplies Will be held for tie, purpose of furnishing
subsistence and supports to tke thou|
