Hdqr's Second MiLrTABY District, Charleston, S. C, April 11, 18G7. General Order No. 10. The general destitution- prevailing among the population of this military district cannot be relieved without afford ing means for the development of their industrial resources. The nature and extent of the destitu tion demand extraordinary measures. The peo ple are liorne down by a heavy burden of debt, the crops of grain and garden produce failed last year, many families have been deprived of shelter, many more need food and clothing, useful imj)lements and auxilliaries of husbandry are very scarce ; the laboring population in numerous localities are threatened with starvation unless supplied with food by the Government of the United States ; the inability of a large portion of the people to pay taxes leaves the local authorities without adequate means of relief, nnd the gravity of the situation increased by the general disposition shown by creditors to enforce upon an impoverished people the immediate collection of all claims. To suffer all this to go on without restraint or remedy is to Siicritiec the general good. The rights of creditors shall be rcsjiected, but the appeal of want and ruf fering mu st bo heeded. Moved by these consider ations, the following regulations are announced, and they will continue in force with such modifi cation as the occarion may require until the civil government of the resjxx'tive States shall be es tablished in accordance w ith the requirements of the Government of the United States. The com manding General earnestly desires and confidently believes that the oliscrvan.ie of these regulations and the co-operation of all jiersons concerned in employing fairly and justly the advantages still remaing to them, will mitigate the distress now existing, and that the avenue of industry, enter prise, and organization thus opened will contril) ute to the permanent welfare and future happi ness of the people. First : Inprisonnicntfer debt is prohibited, un less the defendant in cqecution shall lie convicted of a fraudulent concealment or disposition of his projierty with intent to hinder, delay, and prevent the creditor in the recovery of his debt ordemand, and the proceedings now established North and South Carolina respectively, for the trial and de termining of such questions, may lie adopted. Secoml. Judgment or decrees for the pnvmcnt of monev on causes of action arising lietween the l'.Kh of Decemlier, 1800, and the 1.1th of May, 18G.1, shall not lie enforced bv execution against the liroiiertv or the lierson of the defendant. Pro ceedings in such causes of action now pending hall lie staved, and no suit or process shall ne hereafter instituted or commenced for any such causes of action. Third. Sheriffs, coroners and constables arc herebv directed to suspend for twelve calendar months the sale of ali property ujhiii excevtion of process on liabilities contracted prior to the l'.tth of Decemlier, 1800, unless njwm the written con sent of the defendants, except in cases where the plaintiff, or in his absence lus agent or attorney, shall niKjn oath, with corrol rat l ve testnnonv, al lege or prove that the defendant is moving or in tends fraudulently to remove his property qcyond the territorial jurisdiction of the Court. The sale of real cr personal property bv foreclosure of mortgage is likewise suspended for twelve calan- dar mouths, except in cases where the payment of interest monev accruing since the 11th day of yAy igfi-, shall not have lieen made lxifore the ,i.iv ;,f uir Fourth. Judgments or decrees entered or en rolled on causes of action arising subsequent to the 1.1th of May, 180.1, may be indorsed by execu tion against the projierty of the defendant, and in the application of the manev arising under such executions, regard shall lie had to the priority of liens, unless m cases where the good faith of anv lien shali be drawn in question. In such cases the usual mode of proceeding adopted in North and South Carolina respectively to determine that question shail lie adopted. I ittJi. All proceedings tor the recovery ot mon ev under contracts, whether under seal or bv pa role, the consideration for which was 'the purchase of negroes, are suspended. Judgments or decrees eirjered or enrolled for such causes of action shall not lie enforced. Sixth. All advances of monevs, subsistence, im plements, and fertilizers, loaned, used, emploved, or required for the purpose of aiding the agricul tural pursuits ot riic jieople, shall lie protected, and the existing laws which have provided the most efficient remedies in such cases for the lender will lie supxrted and enforced ; wages for lalior performed in the production ot the crops snail lie a lien on the crop, and payment of the amount due for such wages shall lie enforced by the like remedies provided to secure advaucesof money and other means tor the cultivation ot the soli. Setenth. In all sales of property and execution by order of any court there shall lie reserved out of the property of any defendant who has a fami ly dejiendent upon his or her laixir a dwelling house and appurtenances and twenty acres of land for the use and ocrupation of the ianuiv or the defendant, and necessary articles of furniture, ajv parcl, subsistence, implements of trade, husbandry or other employment of the value of $.100. The homestead exemption shall mure only to the lien- fit of families that is to say, parent or parents and child or children in other cases the exemp tion shall extend only to clothing, implements of trade or other employment usually followed by the defendant, of the value of $ 100. The exemp tion hereby made sliall not be waived or defeated bv the act of the defendant. The exempted proti- ertv of the defendant shall lie ascertained by the Sheriff or other officer enforcing the execution, who shall specifically descrilie the same, and make a report thereof m each case to the Court Eighth. The currency of the Uuited States de clared bv the Congress of the United States to be a legal tender in the payment of all debts, dues and demands, shall lie recognized in North and South Carolina, and all cases in which the same shall lie tendered in payment and refused by any public officer will lie at once reiiorted to these headquarters or to the commanding officer of the post within winch sucii omeer resides Ninth. Property of an absent debtor or one charged as such without fraud, whether consist ing of money advanced for the purposes of agri culture or appliances for the cultivation of the soil, shnll not lie taken under the prrWess known foroijrn attachment ; but the lien created by anv exiting law shall not lie disturlied, nor shall tn(j possession or the use of the same lie in any wise interfered with except in the execution of a indsrment or final decree in cases w here they are authorized to be enforced. Tenth. In suits brought to recover debts known as actions ex contractu bail, as heretofore author: izeil, shall not lie demanded by the suitor nor ta ken by the sheriff or other officer serving the proi cess ;in suits for trespass, libel, wrongful conver sion of projicrty, and other cases, known as ac tions ex delicto bail, as heretofore" authorized, may lie demanded and taken. The prohibition of bail in cases ex contractu shall not extend to persons aliont to leave the State, but the fart of intention must lie clearly established by proof. Eleventh. In criminel proceedings the usual recognizances shall lie required and taken by the proper civil officers heretofore authorized by law to take tho same, provided that upon complaint lieing made to any magistrate or other person au thorized by law to issue a warrant for breach of the ieace or any criminal offense it shall be the duty of such magistrate or officer to issue his war rant on the recognizance of the complainant to prosecutes without requiring him to give security on such recognizance. Twelfth. The practice of carrying deadly weap ons, except by officers and soldiers in the military service of the United States, is prohibited. The concealment of such weapons on the person will be deemed an airsrovation of the offense. A vio- I lation of this order will render the offender ameclr able to trial and punishment by military rximrni sion. Whenever wounding or killing shall result from the use of such weapons, proof that the per son carrying or concealing a deadly weapon shall lie deemed evidence of a felonious attempt to take the life of the injured person llurteenth. The order heretofore issued in this military dcjiartment prohibiting the punishment of crimes and offenses by whipping, maiming, branding, stocks, pillory, or other corporal pun ishment is in force and will be obeyed by all per sons. Fourteenth. The punishment of death in cer tain cases of burglary and larceny imposed by the existing laws of the provisional governments in this military district i aliolished.

General Orders No. 2.1. It appears from sundry petitions and official representations that the present scanty supply of food in the Carolinas is seriously diminished by the large quantity of grain consumed in numerous distilleries, put up and worked in defiance of the revenue laws of the United States; it is represent ed that few or none of the requirements of law are observed in any of these establishments ; that the officers of the internal revenue service while endeavoring to assess ami collect the whiskey tax ars frequently treated with disresjiect and some times menaced with violence; ami that when offenders are prosecuted in the civil courts and violations of the internal revenue laws indisputa bly proved, juries fail to convict the parties ; it is further shown that this unlawful traffic makes food dearer in places where large numbers are de luding upon public and private bounty ; that the Government is, besides, defrauded of a large amount of revenue ; that the authority of its civil officers is brought into contempt ; furthermore, that the miichicf complained of tends to increase poverty, disorder and crime; therefore, in the ex ercise of the authority vested in the Commanding General it is flrdered that, t 1. The distillation or manufacture of whiskey or other spirits from grain is prohibited in this Military District. Anv person so engaged or employed will be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. The possession of a still or other apparatus for this purpose will le. considered presumptive evi dence of a violation of the revenue laws, and the party or parties uMiig the same, or on whose premises, or in w hose posscsuion the same may be found,-will lie arrested and brouget to trial liefore a military tribunal composed of the Commanding officer of the Post and two officers of the army next in ank on duty within the territorial limits of the Post. If the exigencies of the service do not defmit the detail of other officers that fact will lie duly ccrtiticd anil the Post Commander will hear and determine tho case. 2. The penalties, punishments anil forfeitures prescrilied bv the several acts of Congress for dis tilling or manufacturing whiskey or other spirits in violation ot the revenue laws will lie imposed by the military tribunals hereby authorized. No sentence extending to imprisonment, for feiture of stills, liquor or other property, or the imposition of a hue orotner licnaltv will be carried into effect until reported to these Headquarters and approved bv the ( ommandmg General. 4.
