CALL OF THE GOVERNOR or
SOUTH CAROLINA.

L
|" Governor Masrath, Of South Carolina,
has issued an address to the people Of
that State, calling upon them to rise and
resist the progress of Sherman through
the State. Wegive some extracts from it:
PERSONS NOT WILLING TO FIGHT MUST
LEAVE.
l call upon every man to lay aside sci.
fish considerations, and prepare to do his
duty to his State. Let the suggestions
of case and comfort become inglorious
and unworthy; let those ends only be
honorable which conducc to the defeat
of the foe; let all who falter. now, Or
hesitate, be henceforth marked. All who
have lived under the protection of the
State, who have fiourished under its laws,
and shared its prosperity, will gladly
arm to protect it from subjection. If any
seek escape from duty and danger at this
time, let them depart. The hour ap-
proaches when all who are true to the
State will be found in the ranks of those
who arm in it's defence. There is no room
in the State but for one class of men;
they are the men who will fight in her
cause.
Remove your property from the reach
of the enemy, carry what you can to a
place of safety then quickly rally and
return to the field. What you cannot
carry, destroy. Whatever sou leave
that will be of use to your foe, what he
will not need, that will he destroy. In
dulge no sickly hope that you will be
spared by submission; terror will but
whet his revenge. Think not that your
property will be respected, and after
ward recovered. Nosuch feeling prompts
him. You leave it but to support and
sustain him; you save 1t but to help
him on his course. Destroy what you
cannot remove. He will make your re-
turn to your homes over a charred and
| blackened road; prepare YOU the sape
way for him as he advances. Let him
read everywhere and in everything that
in this State, from one portion of it to
the.other, there is but one purpose and
fixed resolye-that purpose is to meet
him at every point !; fight him at every
road that resolve is to undergo all suf-
fering, submit to every sacrifice, welcome
any fate, sooner than subjection by his
army, or submission to his terms.
FOREIGNERS TO GO IN THE RANKS Oh

they are not bound to fight with US /;
who affect = desire not to forfeit what
they call their allegiance to some foreign
