CHARLESTOWN, March 28.
The following ostentatious Proclamation was
lately published by the Rebel Governor at Jack
fonburgh.
STATE of SOUTH-CAROLINA.
By his ExcellencY
JOHN MATHEWS, Efy
Governor and Commander in Chief of the said
State,
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS such measures only have been
hitherto pursued to prevent provisions from
being carried within the enemies lines, as were
trolly confident with that mild and lenient exer
cise at all times, and on all occasions, of the ex
tehfive powers veiled in the Executive authority of
this date.—And whereas some ill-disposed persons,
regardless of the true interests of this country,
and blinded by avarice, have taken advantage of
the moderation with which offenders against the
orders hitherto issued, have been treated,' have
persisted in the unwarrantable and infamous prac
tice of supplying the enemies of the United States
with provisions:
And whereas a due regard to the welfare of this
state requires such measures, to be now pursued as
will immediately and mod effectually remedy this
growing evil; I have therefore thought fit, by
and with the advice and consent of the privy
council, to issue this my proclamation, hereby
ftridly forbidding provisions of any kind to be
carried or attempted to be carried within the ene
mies lines ; at the fame time forewarning all/per
fons whom it might concern, that the vessels,
carriages, horses, oxen, and negroes, which shall
be taken carrying, or attempting to carry pro
visions of any kind, contrary to the true intent
and meaning hereof, together with the loading on
board such vessel, or carriage, will be liable to
seizure, and on conviction, forfeited, the one half
to the person or persons so seizing the fame, and
the other half to the use of this date ; —and all
persons whatever within this state are hereby or
dered and commanded to be vigilant in endea
vouring to detect all offenders against this pro
clamation : And on seizing any such vessels, car
riages, horses, oxen, negroes or provisions as
aforefaid, to bring the said carriages, horses, oxen;
negroes, and provisions, if practicable, before the
neared magistrate, who is hereby required to take
cognizance of the premises, and to summon three
freeholders to fit in judgment with him, and well
and truely try whether the property so seized ought
to be forfeited according to the true intent and
meaning of this proclamation ; and on conviction,
to adjudge the one half thereof to the person or
persons so seizing the fame, and the other half to
be fold for the benefit of this date, and the neat
proceeds lodged in the treasury thereof.
And whereas it may be found impracticable to
carry such veflels louden as aforefaid, before such
znagiftrate, the person or persons so seizing the
fame, are directed to lodge the vessel and cargo so
seized as aforefaid, in some secure place, and as
soon as may be, give information to the nearest
magistrate of such seizure, and where the fame
is deposited; which said magistrate, with three
freeholders as aforefaid, are hereby required to
repair to the said place of deposit, and there fit
in judgment, determine, and adjudge, as is here
in before directed.
And whereas some of the citizens of this state
may at the time of seizing such vessel or carriage
as aforefaid, be found on board of, or accompany
ing the fame, the person or persons so seizing such
vessel or carriage as aforefaid, are hereby ordered
and commanded to take into custody, and convey
or cause to be conveyed, the person or persons so
found and taken as aforefaid, to the neared mi
litia guard, and delivered into the custody of the
officer commanding such guard, who is' hereby
ordered and commanded to keep such person or
persons in fafe custody, until he shall receive fur
ther orders from me, or the commander in chief
for the time being.
GIVEN under my hand and the great foal of
the fate, at Jackfonburgh, this fourteenth
