OHARIESTON, NIIy It.
Gen. Sicllles has issued an order prohibiting
the distillaton of spirits frcm grain, in the I'd
Military District. Offenders are declared La
BILE to trial and punishment by military COM
mission. The reasons assigned for this order
are, that in the present scarcity, the supply OF
food in the Caroinas is seriously increased by
the large quantity of grain consumed in distil-
leries, worked in defiance of the Revenue laws
that this unlawful traffic makes food dearer in
places where large number are depending
upon public and private bounty; that the Gov
eminent is deirauded of large amount OF rev.
enue; that the authority of civil officers IS
brought into contempt, and that the mischief
complained of tends to increase poverty, dis
order and crime.
