OBXlEB FROM GEN, SICKLES FOB THE BELIEF O
DESTITUTE IMMEDIATE COLLECTION OF CEK
TATS DEBTS PROHIBITED.
Hdqb's Second Militaby District,
Charleston, S. C, April 11, 1867.
General Obdeb 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 1
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 claim si 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 nif
f ering must be heeded. Moved by these consider
ations, the following regulations arc announced,
and thev 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 observanoe of these regulations
and the co-otieration 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 contrib
ute to the permanent welfare and future happi
ness of the people. ,
