THE SOUTH CAROLINA FAMINE.
Reports Received by the southern Re
lief Commission.

The reports received by the Southern
Relief Commission of the destitution In
South Carolina are appalling. The dis
tress reaches over the State, and not fewer
than one hundred thousand persons, about
one quarter Of the population, are now with
out food TO last them a week.
On Wednesday the Commission ordered
two thousand bushels of corn to Sumter
district of that State, and nearly every
other district is in debetterth thana a famine.
DIR. c. Henry Leland writes to the Com
mission from RiChland district, under date
February 8, as follows:
There are in my immediate neighbor-
hood twenty-five or thirty families who will
soon be in the greatest distress for the want
Of the common necessaries of life, caused
by the failure of the crops last year and
the viclssitudcS Of war; and If they do not
get relief from some quarter / do not see
what will keep them from absolute starva-
ton. have received many applications
already, and can do but little. as am al
most an the same category myself / know
positively Of great many families who
have not more than enough bread to last
them three or iJur weeks. and have no
prospect Of getting any more until the next
crop is harvested. There is but little IN
the country, and We have no credit abroad ."
This statement Is confirmed by Dr. Chas
II. Suydam late surgeon in the United
States army, who SAYS "There is now great
distress, and before the crop of the year
can be made available, there will be actual
starvation unless help can be obtained from
some quarter. " J. Post
