   On the 16th instant, a letter was received from Maj. C. D. Melton, inclosing communication from Capt. T. R. Sharp, superintendent of the Charlotte & South Carolina Railroad, asking exemption from service on the coast of certain slaves employed by his company and now under orders for service. It was referred to the attention of the Governor, who returns it with an indorsement of this date, regretting his inability to control this matter.
