fegades the solemn duty now devolyed upon
every man in this Southernsland. We need
both the substitute and he who bought his
services with his money. The perils that
encompass our country render it necessary
that both go forth to the battle @
The, order for State troops Guide Carozii-
nian) to remain at their respective quar-
tiers to organize and be in readiness to move
at any moment, is wise and proper. For
the present the troops at and near Charles
ton are holding the enemy in check with
great spirit and gallantry, and with time
and labor to complete certain entrench-
.ments, with the labor now being furnished,
unless large reinforcements of Yankees ar
rive, they may be sufficient to prevent an
advance. It is proper, however, that our
troops should be ready, and it eonduces
more to their comfort and convenience un-
der the necessity Of being in camp, to be
kept away from the chance Of exposure to
low conntry niasma as long as possible -
While our noble fellow citizens are ready to
peril their lives in defence of the portal Of
the State, it is considerate in the authori.
ties not. to expose them to sickness but un-
der stringent necessity. ~
We learn that, while there is much aux.
iety, there is an abiding confidence that our
valued old city will be successfully defended
against the diabolical invaders. "
