In consequence Of the invasion Of South
Carolina by an enemy gloating with spite,
hatred and revenge, It is altogether proper
that the State should be fully prepared to
meet the difficulties which may superyene
This war, to all human Appearances, must
continue for long time and the soil OF
South Carolina must be its theatre until il
closes. large force will be REQUIRED for
defence, and this force must be proyision.d
and the provisioning Of this force will main
iy devo!ve upon the Suite of South Caro-.
lima. We must be prepared to supply this
army from our own resources, otherwise
the most serious consequences NAV follow
we cannot reasonably expect n supply from
other sources, for some of the States of the
Confederacy have already given evidence
OF their Intention to take care Of th.,.
selves by confining the necessaries of living
within their own limits. The people of
South Carolina must therefore look To- her
interest aud their interest, and provide nm
abundance Of grain and meat for the ann.
port Of the army in the field, and tho fami.
lies at home. This should be the first
great care Of the State. II is no LONGER n
matter Of choice but stein necessitv-
We mnst now lay by "King Cotton" and
take up tho staff Of life Let no more cot
ton be planted while the war lasts and
plant grain, and raise hogs und other neces.
saries. Corn and flour and meat will pro.
vision the army, and also command money

Flour will be chiefly used by the army.
and will be required Immediately, and nm.

Look to il, and suit the action to thu
thought. With n large crop Of wheat and
oats, the present crop Of corn and when,
will be greatly strengthened, and with n full
crop OF corn another year, the stock Of hog,
and cattle can soon be increased, so as to

Ladies Aid Society.

We have been requested by some Of the La.

state that at recent meeting Of the Society, il
wasresolvcd that public notice be given that the
Society is still dcsirous Of aiding the soldiers ::
ard to this 9nd solicits additional contributions
from the people of the District All who can
spare material for clothing blankets, comforts
or anything else that may be made to subscrve
the comfort of our volunteers, are respectfully
asked to send il forward. The Society will un-

select or it no preference Is indicated, the
Society will send it wherever it seems to he
most needed.
Those who are protected from the cold and
damp atmosphere by comfortable houses and
other ordinary comforts and convenienccs. are
respectfully asked to spare portion Of their
comparative abundance to relieve the urgent
necessities of the volunteers. There are per.
haPs but few families in the District who could
not, IN the present emergency, do with less
than their ordinary supply OF the articles need.
ed by the soldiers. They have expressed their
grateful thanks for what they have already re,
eeived in this way, but at the same time we
are told that more aid is imperitivey needed.
Their sole dependence is upon voluntary con.
trbutions the Government cannot supply
them with these articles, hence the absolute
necessity of the people continuing, through
the patriotic ladies Of our District, the good
work which they have begun.

WAR NEWS.
From Richmond.

RICHMOND, December 3.-Congress sat
with closed doors to-day. The Examiner
OF this morning states that Col. Henry
Heath, Ct Virginia, has been nppointe by
the President Maj. General, to command
ths Department of Missouri. This an.
nonncement created considerable surprise ;
and many express the opinion that Con.
gress will refuse 10 confirm the nomination,
inasmuch as it practically supersedes Gen.
Price. No such nomination hus yet been
presented TO Congress.
The weather here is cold and bleak -
There is no exciting or interesting news
from the camps. There is no prospect of an
engagement in any portion Of Virginia.
The mountains are covered with snow The
roads, in every direction, are almost impass.
able, and will probably remain so all tn @
winter.

"ry on The produce loan, and The produce of
cotton, the recommendation is made, that
The planters should Immediately take meas.
ures for winter crops to relieve the demands
Tor grain and provisions, and that they
should proceed to divert part of their labor
from cotton, and make their own clothing
and supplies. We have n war of uncertain
length before US, n restricted cotton mar.
ket, and consequent hard times. Provisions,
clothing, shoes, Sc, are high and in de.
mand. These things our planters can raise
and make.
Let the planters enlarge the grain crops :;
sow wheat, rye, barley save peas, pota.
toes, pumpkins make their own clothing
for family and negros and save hides and
make shoes for themselves and slaves
These things must be made in the South.
and they never will be made until the
farmer and planter take an interest in their
production or manufacture. The times are
tight with the planter, because he has moth l.
ing but cotton to sell. They would be
prosperous enough if he had wheat, corn,
oats, beef, mutton, pork, &c, to sell, and
we should then have heard nothing of the
present expostulations of the planting in.
terest about the need Of money to purchase
ordinary supplies, and to discharge the
Confederate war tax.
