Davis sent the following message to the Congress Of
the Confederate States The calamity which hAs
laid in sshes large portion OF Ele city OF ChsrlesS
ton calls for our sympathies and seems TO justify 40
sfYsr Of aid il the manner hereafter suggested.-
The State of Eouth Carolina ne doubt desires to as
aist Charleston in their hour of need. Aa her re-
sources are nov taxed to their utmost N resisting
the invasion Of her soil the prompt inter entlon Of
this government may not be deemed unsuitable to
the occasion.
The State Of South Carolina In comGon with
other States has made liberal advancement on
account Of the war, and this Government Il IN
questOaAbly largely her debtor. With the existing
pressure upon her resources s probable that hsr
desire to aid the suferisg city Of Charleston may
be restrained By other demands upon her available
means. Under ouch circumstances we may exhibit
our sympathy with her people by an onsr TO place
at the control Of the Legislature of the State, now
in session portion Of the sum We owe her.
Tbs magnitude Of the calamity affords reason for
making an exception IN her favor, and promptness
of action will manifest il NEST appropriate man.
ner the sincerity of our regard for the people Of
that gallant State, and entire sympathy IN AL
that concerns them. / recommend therefore that
Congress make an appropriation Of such an srsount
} a. may be deemed sufficient for the purpose Pros
possd to be placed ss the control Of the authorities
, Of the State Of South Ca olins
