| CHARLESTON, S. c., May 2l.-General Sick
les has issued an order prohibiting the distilla
ton of spirits from grain in the second military
district, offenders to be tried by military com
mission. The diminution Of the quantity o.
food in the Carolinas is the reason given. The
| grain Sis consumed in distilleries worked In
defiance of the revenue, and thus makes fooC
| dearer, while large numbers are dependent or
public and private bounty. The Government
is defrauded of large amount of revenue, the
authority of it's civil officers is brought into con
tempt and mischief complained of tends to In
crease poverty, disorder and crime.
