hUR VANDAL FOE UN ABLE TO COPE
~ with the Confederate forces in the open
field, have resorted to mode of warfare which
arouses the indignation of every heart capable
of q patriotic emotion. Not content with wres-
ting peaceful citizens from their homes and
confining them in loathesome dungeons; and
with seizing our contented slaves and inhu-
manly placing them in military organization to
be shot down in the front of battle; they have
inaugurated system Of raids into the interior
of the States, stealing negroes, burning cities
and farms, destroying live stock and growing
crops, and spreading dcsolation everywhere in
their track. To meet this condition of things
and to render practicable greater concentration
of our forces already in the field, and to afford
adequate internal protection to the States, the
President of the Confederacy deems it expedi-
ent to call for portion of their reserve force
for service within their respcctivelimits. Upon
the Governor of South Carolina he calls for
five thosand men for the period of six months
from the first day of August next to be furn-
ished by draft, unless in the intermediate time
a volunteer force organized under the act here
with published ITO provide for local defence
and special service" at least an equal number
be mustered and reported to the War Depart
ment as subject to the call of the President for
service within the State. These organizations
may be voluntary, as will be seen by an exami-
nation of the Act, and are for special service
only within the State, under officers of their
own selection and with the privilege of remain
ing at home in the pursuit of their ordinary
avocations unless calledfo a temporary cx-
igency to active duty;
Now therefore, l, MILLEDGE L. BoNHAM,
Governor and Commander-in-chef in and over
the State of South Corolina, call upon the peo-
pie of the State to assemble on the day fixed
in the annexed orders at their respective Regi-
mental parade grounds and to raise and orga-
nized the forces called for by the President for
the defence Of the State. For two long wears
your brothers have borne the 5rhnt of this war
for independence on the frontiers of the Con-
federacy. The time has now arrived to show
yourselves worthy of these gallant men by pro-
tecting their homes, their wives and their chill
dren, in common with your own.
Until the above organization takes place, it
is recommended to the citizens of the State
to continue existing voluntary organizations
and to form Immediately others with such
arms as they have, for the protection of every
neighborhood, especially. along the rivers and
arms of the sea. Many deadly voley may be
successfully delivered at the raiders in their
boats from the bluffs and forests lining their
banks z
Immediately after the requisition of the
President is filled, the Governor will take steps
for more complete organization for neighbor-
hood protection of such as are less fitted by
years or otherwise for the active duties of a
compaign.

To Messrs. WsHiams g. E'verett, a'
ID Gentlemen: Your rooms are visited ev-
cry day by multitudes of cultivated and
refined Massachusetts women, attracted
by your displays of art. send you with
this note an iron yoke, surmounted by
three prongs, which was cut from the neck
of a slave girl, nearly white, in New Or
leans. who was liberated by military au-
thority from a foul and narrow dungeon,
where in darkness and fear this poor child
of sorrow had borne the double torture of
confinement and Of this painful instru-
ment for three weary months. She would
have borne it incidentally had not our
arms delivered her, as they did many
more, from their oppressors. Her offense,
as it was stated by her mistress, was that
" she rumned mcay." An officer of the
Massachusetts, Volunteers, whose letter |
inclose to you, sent me this memento Of a
barbarism soon, | trust, to become wholly
extinct And send it to you in the hope
that you will permit it to be placed on
exhibition for q few weeks in your rooms.
where the sight of it and the story of the
poor child who wore it may remind the
mothers, wives and daug hters under whose
eyes it may fall, of scme of the good done
by those whom they have sent from their
iresidcs to encounter the hardships of war.

MORE DEPREDATIoNs BY THIEvEs.-tbc
thieves in this vicinity are becoming bold.
er with their success We hear of some
new dcpredations almost daily. In Albany,
on the same evening Of their visit to the
clothes lines of Messrs Bill, Hunter and
Chamberlin, reported by US two weeks
since we learn that they also proceed to
the clothes lines of Messrs. J. j. Butler.
Chas Waterman and Perkins, of the same
place, carrying off everything they found
within their reach On Wednesday night
last week they entered the barn of Elijah
Wiley of this place, and took therefrom
some 7 bushels of buckwheat. The rob-
bers recently entered the cellar of Mr..
George Nye, through window at the back
of the house, and succeeded in carrying
off some 80 lbs. of pork. On Sunday
morning last they paid second visit, but
failed to obtain supply Can nothing
be done to put a stop to these depredations?
By our exchanges we perceive that the
people in this locality are not the only
sufferers from this class of robbers. A
farmer in Tiverton Mass. lately lost a
field cfpototoes. They were dug up by
thieves and off during the middle of the
night-Erpress.

A STATIONARY Town "A correspondent
of the New York Evungelst writes as fol.
lows from Bennington, VT:
The stationary character of things here
strikes western man oddly. The same
stones form the side walks in exactly the
same positions, as when | trod over them
30 years ago. These towns cannot afford
to be in a hurry. What is there here to
hurry about ? This town was finished
and hung up years since. The people
seem to stand still and grow old in their
tracks. They forget even to marry.
Ancient girls, fit to be wives to princes,
yet unmarried. abound and honest bach
elors are almost as plenty. | was told of
couple who had been making love in a
well recognized manner here for more than
20 years, and who all the time forgetting
that the end and object of courtship is
marriage. The affair is doubtless their
own, but it suggests reflections If all
the people are to turn Shakers, it is to
be hoped that this war will be the last;
for soldiers will surely be wanted to fight
in another. " ..

Total number liable to draft 3O,ll2
OF this number there are known to be
many who are wholly unfit for military
service, being VIGOROUSLY disabled and
who from that fact refused or neglected to
attend before the medical board for exam

the Act, because they felt certain of being
exempted, if drafted. As result Of
this, the quota Of the State is largely in.
