THE CAR0LINAS order from gun. sickles for the relief of destitute immediate collection of cer tain debts prohibited. Hdqr's JSecond Military District, Charleston, S. C, April 11, 1867. General1 Order No. 10. The general des titution 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 borne 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 implements and auxiliaries of husbandry are very scarce , the lalxriiig 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, and 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 sacrifice the general good. The rights of creditors shall be respected, but the appeal of want and ruf fering must be 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 respective States shall be es tablished in accordance with the requirements of the Government of the United States. The com manding General earnestly desires and confidently believes that the oliservanae of these regulations ana tne co-ojeration or an persons concerned m employing fairlv and justlv the advantages still remaing to them, will mitigate the distress now existing, and that the avenues of industry, enter prise, and organization thus opened will contrib ute to the permanent welfare and future happi ness of the people.

The sale of real r personal property by foreclosure of mortsure is likewise susiiended for twelve calan- dar months, except in cases where the payment of interest nionev accruing since the 15th dav of May, 1865, shall not have ljeen made liefore the day of sale.

Si-centh. In all sales of projierty and .jjxecutlon by order of any court there shall lie reserved out of the -iiroiiertv of anv defendant who has a fami ly deiieudent upon his or hfr lalwr a dwelling house anil appurtenances and twentv acres of land for the use and ocrupation of the family of the defendant, and necessary articles of furniture, aj iiarel. sulxdstencc, implements of trade,husbuntlry or other cmnlovmcnt of the value of $5O0. Tlie homestead exemption shall inure only to the lien fit of families that is to sav, 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 ly the defendant, of the value of $100.

Second Military District, Chakleston, S. C. May 20th, 1867. General Orders No. 25. It appears from sundry petitions and official representations that the present scanty supply of food iu the Carolinas is seriously diminished by the large quantity of grain consumed in numerous distilleries, put up and worked in defiance of the revenue law s 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 and collect the whiskey tax ars frequently treated with disrespect and some times menaced with violence; and 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 pending upon public and private liounty ; that the Government is, besides, defrauded of a large amount ofevenue ; that the authority of its civil officers is brought into contempt ; furthermore. that the miichief complained of tends to increase povcrtv, disorder and crime : therefore, in the ex ercise of the authority vested in the Commanding General it is ordered that, 1. Tlie distillation or manufacture of whiskev or other spirits, from grain is prohibited in this Military District. Any jierson so cngajrl or employed 'will be deemed guilty of a misdeiricajier. Tlie xssession of a still or other apparatus for this puriiose will he considered presumptive evi dence of a violation of the revenue law s, and the ! party or parties using the same, or on whose premises, or in whose posscsaion the same may lie iound, w ill lie arrested and brouget to trial lieiore a military tribunal composed of the Commanding offiVer of the Post and two officers of the army next in rank on duty within the territorial limits of the Tost. If the exigencies of the service do not dermit the detail of other officers that fact will be rlnly certified and the Post Commander w ill hear and determine the case. 2. The penalties, pnuishinents and forfeitures prcscrilied by the several acts of Congress for dis tilling or manufacturing whiskey or other spirits in violation of the revenue laws will lie inqxtsed by the military tribunals hereby authorized. 3. No seutence extending to imprisonment, for feiture of stills, liquor or other property, or the inqiosition of a fine or other penalty will be carried into effect until reported to these Headquarters and approved by the Commanding General. 4. All troops of the United States, Magistrates, Sheriffs, Constables, Police and others in authority arc required, and all citizons arc solicited, to lx; vigilant of these orders. Commanding officers will lie held resixmsihle for their enforcement. Hv Cummand of Maj Gen. T). E. Sicklesi J. W. CLOUS, Capt. 38th Infantrv, Official: A. D. C. & A. A.A. G. Alexander Moouk.
