READY-MADE CLOTHING.

ENHE ladies, gentlemen and young pco-
i pie of Columbia, who may be in want
OF "SOMETHING TO WEAR, are respect
fully and earnestly invited by the ladies of
the Industrial Association to call at their
Work-room, in the Female Academy, and
examine the articles which they haYe now
ready for sale. Some one will always be
found ready to exhibit the rcadv-made gar
ments and to receive orders from those
who may wish to have work dono neatly
and promptly.
The object of the Association is to fur
nish constant employment to those who,
having been impoverished by the war, now
depend on the needle for daily bread.
Does not such an object commend itself to
the hearts of our citizens? Or must the
anxious applicants for work be told that
ourpeople prefer Northcrn-made garments,
and that there is, therefore, no more work
for them? Shall it be said that such an
Association as this cannot be sustained in
the capital of South Carolina? Jan l9

no Intention to oppose the execution of any law, E.

entails upon us entire responsibility for all conse-
qusnees which may flow therefrom. We believe
this responsibility to be very grave, and these con-
sequences vital to every class of our community,
inseparably connected as are the interests OF ALL
Recent events show that there is no longer q
possibility of that entire harmony of action among
our people, for which you and we have heretofore
striyen.l The views of the whole community are
unsettled by the new aspecto affairs, and the peo-
pie look to those who command their, confidence,
for a course of action upon which all may agree,
who truly desire the prosperity Of the State.
Hesitating to intrude upon you in your withdraw

quest that your well proven patriotism will ress-
