10 The Soldiers, Aid Societies of s. C.

In answer to the numerous enquiries which have
been made by the different Aid Societies which have
been recently formed throughout the State, / have
been ntructcd by his Excclloncy Gov PICKENs, to
give the following information.
Dcpots will be established by the Quartcmaster
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 and pantaoons, of heavy
worsted goods, shirts ana drawers of heavy home
spun or flannel wool, or heavy cotton socks blankets
new or 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 10y the Confederate Govern
mcn for this purpose, say fortytwo ($l2) per annum
this not being sufficient in consequence of
the greatly advanced cost of material 1t is in view
of this fact that these audabc ''Associatons' of la
dies and gentlemen cordially welcomed as coad-
tutors in this noble work, and III proportion their
voluntary contributions of labor and materials, will
the absolute cost of clothing for our gallant volunteers
be reduced.
In the event that any of the Associations should
not feel themselves able furnish both material and
labor the Quartcrmascr General is instructed by his
EXcecncy the Governor, to reimburse such Associ;l-
tions the of all materials ut rate exceeding
similar materials purchased by the department -
and the quantity allowed for each garment shall be
the used in our Manufacturing Bureau.
Societies particularly requested TO advise the
Quartcrmaster General of the quantity of work they
can do per week, and the amount Of donations they
will probably send.

Gen. Lyon.

Gen. Lyon was born at Ashford, Conn.,, il
1919, and graduated from West Point with
many honors in 1s41. At his graduation he
received Workmanship in the army and after
passing campaign in Florida was stationed
for some years on the western frontier
During the Mexican war he accompanied
the expedition against Vera Cruz, was present
at its bombardment and capture and at the
terrible battles of Contreras and Cherubusco.
After the treaty of peace with Mexico he spent
some time in California, subsequently remov-
ing to the Western frontier During the Kan
sas troubles he was stationed at Fort Leayen-
worth, Kansas, but was subsequently remov-
ed to the St Louis Arsenal, where the outbreak
of the present rebellion found him.
His recent brilliant exploits are too fresh in
the minds of our readers to need mentioning.
The country has lost one ofits truest, bravest
and ablest generals in Gen. Lyon

about P. NJ, moved off upon a long and
crowded train of cars for Rolla.
During all Tuesday night regiments were
moving from the Barracks to the Seventh

commodations would allow. Up to last even

SUBSISTENCE FOR AN ARMY-An army off
Ger has just made an estimate of the materials
required by an army. He says that $4,000
men consume daily S12 tons, 10 cwt. of pro
visions alone, thus requiring 800 horses to
carry food enough to to support them for the
first four days-assuming that they them
selves could carry the first three days food
and 800 horses to carry the food needed every
day afterward. Thus l 800 tons of provisions
should be sent with an army commencing a
weeks march. Then baggage and ammunition
would require at least as much more carrying
material, and cavalry ten times as much, so
that an army properly supplied, and having a
small proportion Of horse soldiers, would need
the services of over one thousand horses
