The STAY Law.

We publish OH our first page the late Act of
the General Assembly, passed for the relief of
debtors. There is no need now to discuss the
question of the proprety or necessity of such
law at this particular time; it is now the law
Of the land, and such it is the duty OF all good
citizens to quietly acquesce in its provisions.
The Legislature yielded to what seemed to he
the commonly expressed wish of the people
aud II, as its advocates contended it will bene.
lit the mass Of the people, the few who are
likely to be injured by it, should not complain,
in view Of the general good to be achieved.
1t may be pertinent here to observe that
many Of the evil effects of a law which teri
feres with contracts between individuals, may
be obviated by the exercise, among the people,
ol due proportion Of prudence aud far.dcal.
ing. Where the experiment of Stay law has
been made, it has been observed that many in.
dividuals are disposed to take advantage of it
by not meeting their liabilities even when they
have the power to do so that the law leads to
carelesspess and extravaganza among debtors
aud in the end, i'll many instances, has proven
a disadvantage to the class it was designed to
benefit, while entailing permanent injury and
loss upon creditors. All this may be avoided
IL all men will do as they would have others do
unto them. Let every debtor consider his
moral obligation and resolve to pay whenever
he can, regardless of the Stay law remember.
ing that this is but temporary relirr. and that
the time will come when his engagements must
be met, and that they may be enforced at a time
when he is no better prepared to pay than he i.
At the present. The law having in:erfercd for tho
protection OF the debtor at the expense of the
creditor, the latterswhen the restraint is once
removed, is not apt to regard the convenience
OF the former, but will enforce his claims AZ
soon as the law will allow him. This has been
the result of all former experiments of this kind,
and should be guarded against by every man
hquidating, as far as he can, his liabilities with.
out respect to the Stay law, and preserving
that feeling of confidence and forbearance be.
tween creditor and debtor, so important ut
time like the present.

CHARLESTON, 10Th Tebrunrv. 1851

CHARLESTON, 18th February, 1861.
The Legislature having at its late ses.
sion, authorized the Issue of Bonds to the
amount of S675,00O, bearing an interest OF
Seren per cent, for the purpose of providing
The FINDS required to sustain the State in
the :. t Of resuming her rights of sovereign.
ty' this Bank is now prepared to dispose of
the Bonds. They are issued in sums of
$50, SlO0, and $500. An opportunity is
thus afforded every citizen to make secure
ana prohtabie investment, while cor, .tibu-
ting aid to the cause in which the State is
engaged. With the view of enabling Cit.
zens IN any part of the State to share in
the Loan, the Clerks Of the Courts of the
several districts have been required to open
books OF subscription for the Stock. Sui
table arrangements will be made for furn.
ishing the Bonds on the receipt of the mon
ey, at an early da, after each subscription.
has been made. Engagements for the pur.
chase of Bonds may be made at the Bank,
or at any of its Branches. 1t is probable
that, at the next Session ofthe Legislature,
those parties who desire it may have their
Bonds converted into Stock.

The cxigencies Of the times re-
quire us to operate in the future

who may not receive the next

stand the reason why. All bu-

cash basis, the natural result of
the Stay law and other causes.
Hereafter all transient advertis.

Tor Camp Hampton, near Columbia. Lancaster
now has IN the field seven companies in all
not less than 600 men. Besides this, she has
furnished good ms.iy enlisted men.
The latest statistics report the Militia force
Of the State at 10000 men. Under the two'
thirds basis, South Carolina should now have in
active service about 10000 men, a number
equal to about one.cghth of her entire white
population. This is probably larger proper.
ton than any other State now has in the field.
If all of the States were to contribute in pro-
portion, the Confederate Government would
have i'm the field over one million of men.
