SICKLES FOE THE RELIEF O DESTITUTE lit SfEDIATB COLLECTION OF CEK taxn debts prohibited. Hdqs's Second Mtlit art District, Charleston, S. O, April li, 1867. ... 1 General Order No. 10. The general ?des titution prevailing among the peculation of this military district cannot be relieved without afford ing means for the development of tbeir 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 implement and auxiliaries of husbandry are vry scarce; the laboring population in numerous localities are threatened with, starvation Unless supplied with food fry the Gmrntenf the United hjntTsUthft 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 treneral disposition shown by creditors to enforce upon an impoverished people the immediate collection of all claims. Jto sutler 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 olservanoe of these regulations and the co-ojeration of all ersons 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 contrib- ute to the permanent weiiare ana iuiure nappi- ncss of the people.
