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.
