In answer to the numerous enquiries which have
been made by the different Aid Societies which have
been recently formed throughout tho State, / have
been intructcd by his EXcclcncy Gov. PICKENS to
give the following information.
Depots will be established by the Quartermaster
General both in Charleston and Columbia for the
reception Of all donations of clothing and he is also
charged with the duty of forwarding and distributing
the same.
The department" will receive all donations of
clothing, say irock coats and pantaloons of heavy
worstcd goods, shirts and drawers of heavy home
spun or flannel wool, or heavy cotton socks, blankets
new second hand, also heavy shoes
The plan upon which the State designs supplying
her soldiers with all necessary clothing, is based upon
their willingness to surrender to the State the amount
of money appropriated by the Confederate Govern
men for this purpose, say fortytwo ($l2) per annum
this being sufficient in consequence Of
the greatly advanced cost of material. 1t is in view
of this fact that these aulablc "Assocationsn of la
dies and gentlemen cordially welcomed as coad-
tutors III this noble work, and IN proportion to their
voluntary contributions of labor and materials, will
the absolute of clothing for gallant volunteers
be reduced.
I'm the event that any of the . Associations should
feel themselves able to furnish both material and
labor the Quartcrmastcr General is instructed by his
EXcclcncy the Governor reimburse such Associa-
tions the of all materials rate exceeding

Another Traitor.

Thomas e. Bond, Doctor of Medicine,
Preacher Of the Gospel, Editor of the defunct
Baltimore Christian Advocate, ETC., ETC., who
wanted to be candidate for Congress in 1855,
and is generally afflicted with an insane idea,
that the mantle Of his worthy farther has
fallen OH his shoulders, has turned up at a
Fourth of July meeting in Hartford county, as
an opponent Of the war, an apologist Of jeff
Davis; in word, a very rabid, albeit very
weak traitor. Poor Tom, the wonderful
versatility Of his genius y has ruined him.
lie has been everything by turns and nothing
long. Not content with doctorng both soul
and body he now essays to try hi; skill upon
our bedevlcd Government, and has become
volunteer in the army of political qaacks,
who are engaged devising substitutes for
those good old remedies for treason, to wit,
iron pills and hemp bandagcs. Many of our
readers will recolcct the lecture which the
Doctor delivered here some years ago, and
how it abounded in love for the Union, and
ridiculed the idea of secession.

himself as notorious for his nlamy, as he was
formerly for his stupidity. by defence of
that prince Of traitors Er. Marshal Kane
1t would, indeed, be mathematical feat to
calculate :hc amount Of brazcn mendacity
which it requires to say Of Marshal Kane,
that "hc was Jealous to put down the mob
of the 10Th Of April, and freely exposed his
life to protect the soldiers" There is not
man in Maryland, not even Kennedy him
self, with all his stupidity. who does not
know, that this is eutrageously apd indecent.
ly false not man who does not know that,
instead of attempting to pu, down the mob,
Kane put arms into the hands Of every man
who would do just what the mob were doing,
viz: shoot down the soldiers, and Furthermore,
that, not satisfied with the quantity of villains
i'll Baltimore, he tclcgraphed to Bradley John
son to bring on more dcspcradocs to shoot
down more soldiers. But Mr.. Kennedy knows
so he says that the Er.Msrshals SYM
pathies are with the South" The loyal men
of Baltimore will thank this jew for giving
them this word. Clearly, if Kane sympathizes
With the South in their efforts to break up

suggesting to Congress the means necessary

evinced in any Of these State papers, as to the
safety of our Government and its institutions.

the part of that people, but the patriotic

never slumbers, are ready to rise and 90

exposition Of secession as tending to utter ruin:

commenced with making an apology for the
playing of Dixie's Land, which was just
finished by the Band, rcmarking that some
