The proprietor of the Farmer and Plan-
ter requests his exchanges in the South to
publish the subjoined patriotic appeal in
behalf of his journal:
An Appeal to the Women Of s. Carolina.
"DEAR SISTERS: In February last, l
proposed plan to our friend VIM. Summer,
Esq, to assist in increasing the subscription
to the "Farmer and Planter" in order
that it might not die, as its predecessors
had.
"This plan Mr.. Summer has been pleased
to approve Of, and notice in most Aatter-
ing manner. sincerely trust that have
not been over-bold in pledging your aid in
behalf of this object.
CAT that time, had but the strong de-
sire to aid the paper, and to induce you to
render your homes attractive to the eye,
and to urge you to cultivate pure and
beautiful amusement.
"Since then, events have occurred, which
places the continuance of this, the sole ag-
ricultural paper in our beloved State, on an
entirely different basis-that of self:anter-
est.
"Our gallant men have been called from
their homes to defend all that man calls
dear and sacred; upon many of US now
rests the achole responsibility of directing
the duties of plantations and farms-to
many of US this care is new ; and, although
willing and anxious to do our best, We need
to be reminded often, and assisted.

Monthly it will tell you what is to be done ;
aud much loss of property may be avoided
by consulting its pages.
"December was a month full of anxiety
and excitement. Our husbands and broth
ers may have forgotten to send their sub
scriptions. The months that have followed
have not lessened the excitement, and the
call to arms has left no time for aught but

all that makes life dear.
"Can you show your love for those dear
to you, who are keeping the hated foe from
your doors, better than by doing all you
can to prosper their business, and save them
from loss while absent. Send on at once
two dollars to Mr.. Stokes and bid him good
cheer, and tell him that the paper must not

that we cannot support our papers.
"Sisters, have we not had enough, and
too much, of those Yankees? Does your
blood not boil when you read of them?

IMPORTANT MOVEMENT IN CALIFORNIA
AND AR1zoNA.-Intelligence has just been
received here from California, stating that
most formidable movement is on foot, on
the part of the Secessionists of that State,
to proclaim the Southern part of it out OF
the Union, and form new State, for ad'
mission into the Southern Confederacy. 1t
appears that efforts have been made for
several years back to divide the State, and
make a slave State out of the Southern sec.
ton, embodying that part below thirty-siz
degrees thirty minutes, under the secret
circular sent from this city, dictated by
Secession conspirators. Although the
scheme was exposed and failed, yet about
year ago the Legislature actually passed
an act authorizing the Southern counties to
form separate Government, if the people
should so vote. This proposition was sub,
mitted and carried, and within the last two
months they have organized and raised an
independent flag, and have declared their
intention to 60 with the South.
The object of this move was clearly to be
seen. 1t was necessary that the Confederate
States should have an outlet on the Pacific
coast and they, of course, strike for the fine
hsrbor at San Diego. Nor does this scheme
stop here. They expect and have the as
surance of the cooperation of the SeccS'
sionists in Arizona and New Mexico. They
have also the cooperation of Judge Terry,
of Nevada Territory, who has organized a
force there to resist the authority of Gov
ernor Nye, and to prevent the establish
mept of the United States Courts there
