ing met with an opportunity of sending let
ter through to you, by flag of truce, do so for
the purpose of informing you that am well.
You will please have the kindness to let nv
relatives and friends know that am here kept
IN close confinement as prisoner of war /
.can assure you it goes very hard with me, but
think | am bearing it as we'll as any man
could under the circumstances We must ex
pect to meet with some revcrscs-it is the for
fune of war. Let my friends know that am
all right yet, and hope that may soon be ex-
changed, and join our forces again to take part
in the defence of the city of Charleston. I
must say that | have been treated very cour-
teously by the officers at this place, and also
by those on Folly Island, and have been shown
great many iavors by them. Eight other of
ticrs were brought over with me. Capt. Mac
beth, from Charlerton, is one of the party. |
met with no serious injury, except being stun
ned by shell, which made me very sore for a
few days, but am quite well again. The rea-
son was captured, Mayrant my color-bearer,
was shot down. stopped to get our colors,
and see if [ could render him any assistance,
at which time | was surrounded and ordered to
surrender. Being left alone, with dozen rifles
pointed at me, thought it prudent to submit
to fatc--to refuse would have been certain
death. Mayrant was killed, almost instantly.
All honor and praise arc due the gallant off
GERS and men composing the four companies
which had the honor to command, viz: Co.
A, Capt. Lucas; Co. c, Capt. Person; Co. E,
Capt. Gillaird; Co. G, Lieut.. Clyburn. After
landing on Morris Island, for over three miles,
through perfect hail of shot and shell, too
much praise cannot be given them.

Let all read and digest this admirable doc
nment, to be found in another column. All
the thoughts are good and eminently adapted
to the times. Especially should our farmers
and planters heed the suggestion in regard to
the manner Of providing meat for our army.
Here, truly, is a field for individual cxcrton,
which, if properly put forth, will furnish large
supply of surplus meat for the. government,
and that too at a small sacrifice to every par
ticular man. Will not our patriotic planters
do something in this behalf

Charleston

The siege of Charleston is still vigorously
prosecuted. The last accounts are, that "Sum-
ter is responding fecbly," and every one is an
ticipating the early fall of this historic and
gallant fortress. This, however, is far from be-
ing the fall of Charleston--an event which, if
it happens at all, will only be after protracted
seigc and much hard fighting. In common
with many intelligent and wcll-informed per-
sons, we are still sanguinc of a glorious deIv
erance of the old city, from the attack of her
dastardly foes.

movements of tho enemy. 1t may and 1 be-
lievo will be soon. Let every man hold himself
in readiness, provided with three days ratons,a
blanket, change of clothing and whatever else
may add to his comfort, but with as little as
possible, and that necessary. Bear in mind
that the vandals at gates, that it is better
to meet thcm there and drive them back, than
to wait until they have reached our homes and
our door steps. In the language of our Presi-
dent, "No alternative is left but victory, or
subjugatiop, slavery and the utter ruin of your
selves, your families and your Countrywide
victory is within your reach, you need but
stretch forth your hands to grasp it. For this
and all that is necessary, is that those who arc
called to the field by every motive that can
move the human heart, should promptly repair
to the post of duty, should stand by their COM
rades now in front of the foe, and thus so
strengthen the armies of the Confederacy as to
ensure success" The time has como for every
man to prove himselfworthy of State The
enemy is flushed with his recent successes. He
IS isgathering heavy masses for our suhjugation
and destruction. His ultimate success is our
irrctrievabc and utter ruin In this contest
South Carolina calls upon every man to do his
whole duty. Rccollect that in this struggle for
our independence, history has already recorded
the fact in bright and glowing letters that South
Carolina was the first in the charge, let history
also record it in equally bright and glowing
letters that she was the last in the retreat
When the orders are received to repair to the
held and to the post of duty, let the fourth
rally to the rescue in the "Douhle quick.
Commit your wives and the loved ones at
homo to the protection of that Just God who
will give us She victory. and to the kindness
of the good people who are left behind give
yourselves to your country. Many may never
return to meet those loved ones and receive
their sweet embraces, but you leave them tho
rich but melancholy inheritance that you fell
in the line of duty, patriotism and honor.

regard to breadstuffs there is no apprehension.
since the product of the present season will
furnish an ample supply for all the wants of
the Government and the people.
Meat is the only question of doubt and dam
ger. can speak advisedly on the snbject, and
tell YOU in all frankness and seriousness,
there is ground for great apprehension. Off
cia rcticcnce on this subject would be suicidal
and l will not disguise from you the fact that
IN consequence of the recent contraction of our
territory, if we rely alone on the ordinary
sources of supply in the hands Of farmers and
planters, we shall fail to meet the wants of the
Government. Is there, then, remedy for this
threatened and fatal evis l say there is; and
1t only requires the united action of the people
to prove it, The deficiency can and must be
supplied by what may be termed an artificial
culture and production.
In the State of Alabama there are not less
than one hundred thousand planters and far
mers, who could put up and fattcn by next fall
or winter, for army use, at least an average of
one beef and one hog beyond their supply for
domestic consumption. This would give
one hundred thousand bceves and one
hundred thousand hogs, which would other
wise not be prepared for market. Again, there
are in the hands of the weathier class of plan
planters and farmers in the State, probably not
less than one hundred thousand work oxen that
could be spared from agricultural labor-all of
which should be fattencd for beef and held sub
Ject to the wants of the Government
In this way supply of 100000 head of cattle
and hogs could literally be created out of an
existing stock, which would otherwise be un-
available for use.
This is no fanciful and impracticable sugces-
ton, but perfectly easy and feasible, if only the
people will take it to heart and determine to
DO it. There is ample time and material
if the work is begun now in earnest, and pros
ecuted with vigor.
AS regards impressments | trust that the
people Of Alabama will not present the humil-
'atng spectacle of compelling public of;cer
to resort to military seizure of their property,
but, on the contrary, that they will freely and
cheertuly sell to the Government agents such
portion of their supplies productions as NAV be
needed for the support of the army. But
while shall not lay military hand on lcgiti-
mate trade for domestic use, or any supplies in
the hand of producers, unless forced to do so
by their refusing to sell their surplus storcs-I
horeby forewarn spectators, that their ac-
cumuations will be seized wherever they arc
found; and, by spectators, mean those who
buy provisions and withhold them from the
market for the purpose of speculatins on the
future wants of the Government and the pco-
pie
Such disgraccful class of traders could rot
exist in this country, if the people would treat
them as public enemies deserve to be treated
