The Daily Dispatch: January 22, 1861., [Electronic resource], Financial condition of South Carolina . (search)
No Exactions on property in South Carolina.
The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Herald, says it is utterly false that any special exaction has been made in South Carolina on negro or any other property.
The contributions of negro labor have been entirely voluntary on the part of those who have rendered it. It is also the same of contributions of money, which have been very liberal.
It is equally, false that Governor Alken, or anybody else, has had any requisition for money or labor made on him. All the appropriations of the money thus far made by the Legislature have been furnished by the State Banks in exchange for par, and the principal part coming from the Bank of the State, of which the State is the only stockholder.
Commerce goes on as usual without restriction.
There is no scarcity of provisions, and the market is at ordinary prices.

Bad faith.
We learn from those who have recently been exchanged and reached this city, that there were several persons in the party sent here from Fort Delaware who do not properly come within the provisions of the articles of the exchange.
The Yankees, true to their instincts for fraud, are cheating our Government, by sending men back who were not in service at the time of their capture, and who have no claims upon our Government as prisoners of war. In one instance, we are assured they have sent a crazy man from Philadelphia, named John Rice, who was arrested and lodged in Fort Delaware as an alleged escaped prisoner.
The exchanged prisoners state positively that Rice never was in the Confederate service, and never set foot on Confederate soil since the commencement of hostilities, until he was landed at Alken's on Tuesday evening. This fraud on the part of the wily Yankees should, in justice to our gallant men in arms receive the attention of our authorities.

Arrival of disabled Confederate soldiers.
--A Yankee steamboat arrived at Alken's Landing on Wednesday night, with seventy wounded and disabled Confederate soldiers, mostly taken in the late battle of Sharpsburg, Md. Such of them as had been brought up yesterday and placed in the hospitals here, report kind treatment on the part of the ladies of Baltimore and other places through which they passed in Maryland.
Facilities for promptly removing wounded men from Alken's to Richmond is still badly needed, where the poor soldier, unable to help himself, is compelled to endure much suffering in consequence of delay in his removal.
