The Democrats in South Carolina consider the President's proclamation an indication that he intends to carry the election there by fair or foul means, and they are depressed, as they say no occasion exists for such a proclamation.
The Charleston rifle clubs, which have about 1000 men, will abandon their armories, and individual members will take charge of the arms. In the meantime arms are rapidly being furnished to the colored militia, who have already about ten thousand stand.
There is nothing new from Cainhoy. The negroes are scattered, but the residents of Cainhoy fear an attack, and fifty Charleston men are still there. A company of United States troops from Columbia will go to Cainhoy.
There have been no further arrests in Aiken or elsewhere under the enforcement act, and all arrested have been bailed except three, who are refused bail for unexplained reasons.
