CIRCULAR.
To the Soldiers Aid Societies Of S. G.

In answer to the numerous enquiries which have
been made by the different Aid Societies which have
been recently formed throughout the State, l have
been intrnctcd by his EXcellcncy Gov. PICKENs to
give the following information.
Dcpots 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 'Dcpartmcntn will receive all donations of
clothing. say rock coats and pantaloons, of heavy
worsted goods shirts and drawers, of heavy home
spun flannel WOOL 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 based upon
their willingness surrender to the State the amount
OF money appropriated ty tine Confederate Govern
ner for this purpose, say fortywo (Sl2) per annum,
this sum not now being sufficient in consequence of
the greatly advanced cost of material. 1t is in view
of this fact that these laudabc Associations of la
dies and gentlemen, are cordially welcomed as coad-
tutors in this noble work. and in proportion to their
voluntary contributions of labor and materials will
the absolute cost Of clothing for gallant volunteers
be reduced.
In the event that any of the Associations" should
not feel themselves able to furnish both material and
labor the Quaremaster General is instructed by his
EXcelency the Governor to reimburse such Assoca-
tons the cost of all materials at a rate not exceeding
similar materials purchased by the "Department y
and the quantity allowed for each garment shall be
the same as used in our Manufacturing Bureau.
Societies are particularly requested to advise the
Quartermaster General of the quantity Of work they
can do per week, and the amount of donations they
will probably send.
To prevent confusion and loss the following method
for marking packages should be strictly observed All
Societies near Charleston, should ship to Charleston
ahd mark thus:
No. /. TO QUARTERMASTER GENERAL
CHARLESTON, S. C.
from Aid Society at (hcrc insert place)
Societies Columbia, should ship and mark thus

bered from ~ upwards, A correct invoice should
accompany each shipment

There's little Of teaching yet
In tho measures of the clown,
Who dug for gold in his cellar mould,
Till he dug his whole house down.
And lesson left below,
BY the gentleman in the tree,
Who severed the limb that seated him
And was punished-accordingly.
There's reason, and may be room
In seasons of much misrule,
For an "iron hand" to purge the land
OF q somewhat similar fool!
No Congressman, name;
No man of meaner wares;
Though it is shame, if nations claim
To life, be less than theirs
But mean your "cotton- head"
Mole-blind to all but pelG
With root to knaw, and limb to saw,
And crash to cripple himself
Digging for cotton bales,
While the nation cries for bread!
Digging dirt for Nessus shirt
To scorch him heel TO head.
Signing for cotton bales,
With the hand of God outspread
To smite him first whom Folly nursed

out Of the Uaiverse.
THE SITUATION AT ISLAND NUMBER TEN.-
The Memphis appeal of Monday last says:
On Tuesday night last one of the enemy's gun
boats passed our Notifications at Island No.
10 during the storm. She passed down under
the observation, we learn, of our commanders.
but was only to be seen by the flashes of light
ming. Many shots, we hear, were fired at her.
but at random, as the instant of light being
too transient and fleeting for our gnnncrs to
make anything else than random shot by
guess, in the darkness of the night and the
fury of the storm. She is at New Madrid,
under cover of the enenly's battery. 1t is be-
lieved that the Federals are erecting RATS or
boats, upon which they'hope, by the assistance
and aid of this gunboat, to land their forces on
the Tennessee side of the Mississippi river be-
low Island 10, and at or above Tiptonville-
and thus capture, by their large force, our bat
tcres on Tennessee shore, and then 10; and
thus, at that point, to remove an impossible
carrier to the descent of their boats and trans
ports down the Mississippi, so long as they can
hold their positions
SMELLING FROM MoRTARs.-The Memphis
AvolancAe publishes detailed account of the
enemy's attack on Island No. 10, from his first
appearance on the 5th inst, up to the very
latest date. The result of this protracted bonn
bardmcnt is summed up by the A0alanche as
follows:
"The enemy has expended over three thou
tand thirtecn-inch shells, hundred thousand
pounds of powder, and has not yet struck the
parapet of battery, has not touched maga-
zine, has not destroyed a single house or dis
mounted piece of ordnance, has not hit a
man or damaged us farthings value"
Nothing can show more clearly the inefi-
cheney of mortars when directed against cir
cumscribed Notifications. Mortar shelling NAV
destroy town or city, but there is no instance
yet in the present war in which it has been
effective against forts. 1t was equally harm
less at Fort Sumter and at Pensacola.
The WAR IN M1ssoUR1.-At last accounts
from Missouri, division of Prices army, un-
der Gen. Mcbride, had penetrated as far as
Rolla (eighty miles from st. Louis), which
place they burned, and completely routed the
Federas stationed there. McBride's force was
5000 strong.
We hear, too, that another detachment
numbering 5000, was advancing on Spring
field, with view to capture the enemy's sup
plies collected there, which will doubtless be
successful Price is said to be advancing from
Clarksville, and will again enter Missouri with
increasing force.
SPURIOUS BANK BILLs.-We are informe,
that there are in circulation, bills on the Banl
of East Tennessee-a bank which no longe
exists. Also some worthless bills on the ole
