The dew 17 on the glittering grata,
A mtit lay on the brook ;
At the earlleit beam of the gold en gun,
The iwallow her neit fonook.
The anowy bloom of the hawthorn tree
Lay thickly, tho ground adorning ;
The blrda were tinging in every bush,
At fire o'clock in tho morning,
i
And Bessie, the milkmaid, merrily sang,
For the meadows were fresh and fair ;
The breeze of the morning kissed hor brow
And played with her nut baown hair ;
Botvft she turned and looked around,
As tf the silence scorning ;
'TwAS time for the mower to whet his scythe.
AVllve o'clock in tho morning.';
And over he mciulow the mowers came.
And merrily their voices rang ;
And oneimong them wends his way
To yfchore the milkmaid sang
And ahe lingered by her side,
Respite his oomnulc's warning,
Thol(L old story was told again.
At five o'clock in the morning.

destitute-immediate collection of cer
tain debts prohibited.
Hdqb's Second Military District,
Charleston, S. C, April 11, 1867.
General Order No. 10. The general des
.titntion; prevailing among the population of this i
military district cannot be relieved without afford
ing means for the development of their industrial 1
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
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, 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 respec ted, but the appeal of want and ruf
fering must be needed. 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 observanae of these regulations
and the co-operation of all persons concerned in
employing fairly and justly 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 contril-
ute to the permanent weliarc and tuture nappi
ncss of the people. .
First : Inprisonmcntfor debt is prohibited, un
less the defendant in eqecution shall be convicted
of a fraudulent concealment or disposition of his
pi-opcrtv with intent to hinder, delay, and prevent
the creditor in the recovery of his debt or demand,
and the proceedings now established rsorth and
South Carolina respectively, for the trial and de
termining of such questions, may lie adopted.
Second. Judgment or decrees for the payment
of money on causes of action arising lietween the
19th of December, 1860, and the l;tn or May,
1865, shall not be enforced by execution against

ceedings in such causes of action now pending
shall be staved, and no suit or process shall I
hereafter instituted or commenced for any such
causes of action.
TJdrd. Sheriffs, coroners and constables are
hereby directed to suspend for twelve calendar

plaintiff, or in his absence' his aent or attorney,
shall upon oath, with corroborative testimony, al
lege or prove that the defendant is moving or in
tends fraudulently to remove his property qeyond
the territorial jurisdiction of the Court. The sale
of real r personal property by foreclosure of
mortgage is likewise suspended for twelve calan
dar months, except in cases where the iiayment of
interest money accruing since the 15th day of
May, 1865, shall not" have been made before the
day of sale.
Fourth. Judgments or decrees entered or en
rolled on causes of action arising subsequent to
the 15th of May, 1865, may be indorsed by execu
tion against the property of the defendant, and in
the application of the money arising under such
executions, regard shall lie had to the priority of
liens, unless in cases where the good faith of any
lien shall lie drawn in question. In such cases the
usual mode of proceeding adopted in iSorth and
South Carolina respectively to determine tnat
question -shnil lie adopted.
r ijlh. AH prm-eeaings ior iiie recovery oi mon
ey under contracts, whether under seal or ny pa
role, the consideration for winch was the purchase

sion. Whenever wounding or killing shall result
from the use of such weapons, proof that the per
son carrying of concealing a deadly weapon shall
be deemed evidence of a felonious attempt to take
the life of the injured person.

military department prohibiting; the punishment
of crimes and offenses . by whipping, maiming,

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

ceedings in bankruptcy in accordance with the acts
of Congress In such cases made and provided for
with the collection of any tax, impost, excise or
charge levied by authority of the United States,
or of the provisional governments of North and
South Carolina ; but no imprisonment for ovei
due taxes shall be allowed, nor shall this order oi
any law of the provisional governments of North
and South Carolina operate to deny to minor chil
dren or children coming of age or their represen
tatives, nor to suspend as to them any right of ac
tion, remedy or proceeding against executors, ad
ministrators, trustees, guardians, masters, or
clerks of equity court, or other officers or persons
holding a fiduciary relation to the persons or tlie
subject of the action or proceeding.
Seventeenti. Any law or ordinance heretofore
in force in North or South Carolina inconsistent
with the provisions of this General Order is here
by suspended and declared inoperative.
