Indeed the torce is 50 large that Col. Prcnliss

Executive.

The Governors Head Quarters nrc temporarily
at Edgcoood, his residence in this immediate Vi
cinity. OF course he holds himself in reGdineSs
to go at u moments warning to any part Of the
State where mis- sc.ricee may be Mt ell necessary
But until such necessity arises we presume be
will remain nj his home, at least for the greater
portion Of his time. COMMUNICATIONS will reach
him readily mailed to this point: and should unu-
sual expedition be desired, dispatches ria the
Telegraph nlice at Augusta will he promptly for
warded.
We learn informally from his EZcclleIcy, that
applications for arms have crowded the depart
ment beyond its abilities to meet. 1t is hoped
that parties thus Supplying will remember that the
governor hns not recourse ~ an ovcrlowng armorJ,
but rather TO one that has already hccn we'll nigh
exhausted by the demands Of the war. Not only
have arms been supplied to the troops of our own
State, but the necessities Of the crisis have re-
qured that large help he afforded in this respect
to the States of North Carolina, Tennessee and
Florida.--which has heen done. The Governor
is still doing all be can to meet the applications
that press upon him, and has recently furnished
the Hampton Legion with park ci artillery, be-
sides iiyc hundred newly .riAcd guns,-thc best he
could do without depriying certain efficient troops
for home service, to which he woull not consent.
Such in fact is the present difficulty in this bust
ness, that the Executive has been compelled with
much regret to declare to Cnl. Orr his Inability
to supply his legion with my arms. True, il Is
the part of the Confederate Government to aff rd
arms to its ronps. But our State Government
has hitherto done all it could auxiliary to this
end, and We ure sure that Gov. PlckESs will still
eudeavor to do so, In lnr as the means are within
his CONTROL.
