no THE FARMERS OF THE

,
The undersigned appeals in behalf Of the
starving people Of South Carolina-his native
State-to the farmers and all other persons hav-
ing corn for sale in the Valley and the adjacent
country, to sell and deliver to him their surplus
corn at the earliest practicable moment. 1t is i'm
peratively necessary that corn should be gotten
to these people at once in order that they may be
saved from actual stareation as they failed al
most entirely in corn crop themselves and
supplies from other sources are cut off by the al
most unprecedented condition of the country
roads and the interruption of Railroad commu-
nication by the washing away of bridges, &c.
The appeal is not for contributions; propose
to pay the market pric. in cash upon the deliv-
cry of the corn, and will hope that humane
people will not horde up the necessRries of life
from their furnishing countrymen. Much good
may be done by the immediate delivery, of 80
bushels by each farmer, if he cannot deliver
more.

Louis Schade, Esq, counsel for the unfor-
tunate Capt. Wirz, has written defence of
the name and fame of his client, who be as
serts suffered wrongfully and who protested
his innocence up to the last moment Of his
life. He shows that Capt. Wirz was not
proven guilty Of the monstrous charges al
legged against him, viz: " conspiring with
Jefferson Davis and others to kill Union pris-
oners" and 60 murder in violation of the laws
and customs of war, !" of which he was con-
victed He confirms the statement that an
effort was made to suborn Capt. Wirz as a
witness against Jefferson Davis, by making
public the fact, that parties came to him and
Rev. Father Boyle and requested them to
say to Capt. Wirz, that a high Cabinet off,
Ger wished to assure him that his sentence
would be COMMITTED if he would implicate
Jefferson Davis. This, when told him, on
the morning of his execution, he refused, de-
claring his utter inability to do SO. Thus
little by little leaks out, until after while
military commissions will stink in the very
nostrils of those who originated and instiga-
ted them. M f

any reflection on the motives or conduct of

We think, therefore, that the remarks of
