Progress of the War.patriotic address to the South Carolinians — mob law in Cincinnati — interesting news and Incidents, &c., &c. South Carolina. The following address has been issued by Gov. Pickens to the volunteers of the State: I am informed from high authority that the State of Virginia has adopted our Confederate Constitution, and is virtually a member of our Confederacy. I called for volunteers because I did not consider Virginia as under our Government. But when I am officially informed that she has joined our Confederacy I shall consider her as part of our country, and to defend her or Maryland is to defend South Carolina. Whatever troops may be ordered will be still considered as volunteers from South Carolina, and there is no power to lengthen or change their term of service; they are still volunteers from South Carolina for twelve months, and if they leave the State will be under the command of a General in the Provisional Army of the Confederate States.
