PROCLAMATION :
BY THE PRoFLS7ONA II GOVERNOR.

WHEREAs it is represented that in many
w portions of the State, theirs is great distur
bancc and apprehension from lawless persons,
who are thieving, inarnuding and committing nets
of violence remote from the military garrisona,
stationed as the Court Houses; and whoroas
Brigadier General Amos. commanding the North
western portion of the States has suggested, the,
organization Of militia police force in each Dis
trict Of his command, to act in concert with his
forces in preserving order and peace in the COM
munity; aud wherons it ia supposed that tho
other military commanders will haYo no objections
to the aid and assistance en- the part Of tho cit-
zcns in suppressing crime and maintaining order;
and whereas, also, 1t appears that President
johnson has sanctioned and authorized the Pro-
visonal Governor of Mississippi to organizes
similar force in that State, and has forbidden tho
military authorities there to interfere with such
| organization
Nov, therefore, 1, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
PERRY. Provisional Governor of the State of
South Caroline, do proclaim, order and declare,
that thoro shall be formed and organized In each
Judicial District, one or moro mititiE companies
fer home police, to act under and be auxiliary
to the military garrison Of such District in pre-
| venting crimos and preserving the peace of the
| District. The companies will consist of o Cap
tain and threo Lisutenants md eighty meH, seat
tered over the District so as to be easily aceessi

will report, through thsir Captains to the respse-
tive Brigadier-Gsnerali commanding in South
| Carolina, and to the Provost Marshals at the re-
spestiye Court Houses, and from them receive
| their orders When arrests have been made; they
| will torn the offenders over to the civil autheri-
ties or bring them before tho Provost Court Mar
shal for trial and punishment, according to the
terms of agreement between Generals Meade and
Gilmore and myself as to tho respective jursdio-
tions of the civil and military authorities in
| South Carolina
This police guard will ,be voluntary in its Or
ganization, and should be compeasd Of mono but
discreet persons Of standing and character in the
'eommunity, who are willing to render their ser
vice promptly when ,tle occasion requires. Itis
thou that the bare organization Of such forces
throughout the State, will have.G most salutary
influence in preserving peace and order and in
preventing crime. The evil-doers will know that
there /, power. ready at hand, to arrest then
and bring them to Justice It is to be hoped that

long white hair huttering in the wanton
breeze, and his dim eyes lighting up at
the sight of their pleasant smile.
We were visiting lately in family
where were several pretty girls. Beauti.

ed with accomplishments, for they could
sing, dance. play: embroider, chatter
French, translate Latin, sing Italian, and
withall were very handsome. The door

EXECUTION OF Gen. BARRo1s.-The
official Government journal Of San Saliva
dor, Ell Constitutional, of the 3lst of All:
gust, has been received. 1t contains par
ticulars of the execution Of ex-Presidcnt
Barrois, the insurgent leader:
The.unfortunate man having beeu told
about midnight of the 2Sth uItimo that
he had but six hours to- live, proceeded
to the prison chapel, where he spent some
time in religious preparation, attended
by the Bishop Seldano. Here also he
made his will. .s-.-.5-
at half past four on the morning of the
9Sth, Barrois was conducted to the scat
fold, escorted by small military force.
The sentence was again read, and the bish-
op exhorted and prayed with the con-
demned man.
Barrois bade farewell to several of his
friends, and charged Gen. Gonzalez with
the care of his remains.
He requested his eonfessor to have
mass said quietly and without romp for
the repose of his soul, and then met death
with entire resignation.
According to his last request, his
body was inferred in the church called
Del Calvorio.
