Citizens of South Caroliua--The civilIsed
world stands appalled, at the course you are
pursuing appalled, at the crime you are COM
hitting against your own mother. the beat. he
most enlightened and heretofore the most tros
perous OF nations. You are In state OF active
rebellion against the laws Of your oountry -

nals ana other property belonging to our com
mon country, and within your borders, with this
property, you are in arms and waging ruthless
war against your constitutional government,
ana thus threatening the existence of q govern
ment which you are bound BY the fAsnss Of ibe
S@'es'a o0mPuct TO live under and faithfully
support. In doing this you are not only under
nFa hs e..
ing your own political and social existence, but
you are threatening the civilized world with the
odious sentiment that self government Is impos.
sible with civilized man. 5..j.lr bad .C=-
Fellow Citizens-l implore you to pause and
reflect upon the tenor and consequences of your
acts, OF the awful sacrifices made by the devas-
tAtion of our property. IL the shedding Of fra g
lernal blood in battle, the mourning and vail
ing OF widows and orphans throughout our land
are insufficient to deter you from further pursu-
Ing this unholy war, then ponder, beseech
you, upon the ultimate, but not less certain re.
sult which its further progress must necessarily
and naturally entail upon your once happy and
prosperous State. Indeed, can you pursue this
ffatricidal war, and continue TO imbrue your
hands in the loyal blood of your countrymen,
your iriends. your kinsmen, for no other object
than to unlawfulIy disrupt the confederacy Of
great peoples confederacy established by your
own hands in order to get, were 1t possible,
an independent government. under which you
eau never live in peace, prosperity or quietnese.
Carolinians We have come amon9nyou as
loyal men, fully impressed with our Constitu-
tional obligations to the citizens Of your State.
Those obligations shall be performed as far as
10 our power. But be not deceived The obli-
CATION Of suppressing armed combinations
against the Constitutional authorities is para
mount to all others II, in the performance of
this duty, other minor but important obhga-
tons should be in any way neglected, It must be
attributed to the necessities OF the Gaze, because
rights dependent on the laws Of the State must
be necessarily subordinate TO the military ex
igencies created by insurrection aud rebellion.

will invade no rights of person or property. On

distinctive features OF its social organization
with your own. Portions Of his force come
from counties in Maryland bordering on one Of
yours. From him and from them you may be
assured OF the sympathy of near neighbors, as
we'll as friends, II you do not repel it by hostile
resistance or attack. a..t,
Their mission is TO assert the authority of
the United States, to reopen your Intercourse

accustomed guides, by re-establishing lights on
your coast; to afford you a free export for the
products of your labor, and q free ingress for
the necessaries and comforts of life which you
