The obligations of grati-tuilc to the gallant soldiers, who have given their lives in defence of their eountry, combine with the inspirations of patriotism and Christian charity ?h to commend this cause to every heart. The fr importance of educating the children of the tl: State, (at all times worthy of serious consider- er ation,) in the peculiar circumstances of these p' times, cannot bo over-estimated. Regarded as only as a measure of policy, it is judicious and E wise; but when the claims of orphanage arid , the obligations of patriotism, ami the debt we owe to the noble dead, who sleep on every field -p' of '.heir country's glory, arc considered, everv st generous heart must surely respond to the sail le and swell the contributions to this most worthy hi and benevolent object.'^fiffiy li The following plan, pV^ffosed by the South su Carolina Conference, is eminently practical,; h< ^ _ and furnishes the means for immediate usefulnoss: I Whereas, the indigent orphans of deceased U1 r soldiers, the children of disabled soldiers in des n< L titutc circumstances, and wounded young sol pi Ik diers without means, may desire an education if Ihave special claims upon our sympathies as a v< Christian people. And, whereas, the intellec- c| ' tual and moral education of this'class is rceom- hi mended to us by the wannest feelings of pa- bl triotism, as well as by a profound sense of m Christian duly, therefore, it is by the South l,J | Carolina Conference? V( Resolved, A fund shall he raised within the sc bounds of the South Carolina Conference, the ('l interest of which shall ho sacredly devoted to the education primarily of indigent orphans of of soldiers who have been killed in the present li war, or who have died of disease contracted ^ while in the service, the children of needy and disabled soldiers, and also of wounded soldiers who nre in indigent circumstances and who may desire an education as a means of honor able subsistence and usefulness. P; Resolved, The education of the above named T classes shall be conducted within the colleges on/1 oo1>a/\1q olrnn/lir ovicti nrv nrtrlne flto nnf^att CIUV* auiiWio nu VUU |r v>Aiatuig uuuvi uiju age of the South Carolina Conference, .and such other schools as may be established or sanctioned by that body. Hesolvedy When the fund shall be no longer ^ needed for the education of those for whom it ' is primarily intended, said fund shall be at the discretion of tho South Carolina Conference, to be used either in assisting such indigent persons as may promise most usefulness to the church and State-?whether orphans or otherwise?to obtain an education, or in promoting the general cause of education, as an endow- tl ment fund in connection with some ope or morfe tl of our colleges or schools now existing, or in p such other way as said Conference may deem h most expedient and advisable. o Resolved, A faitlifrl record shall be kept of 11 the amount contributed within the limits of t! each Presiding Elder's District as now consti- o tuted, and the appropriations mado from time g ?!?./> K.. <i,? /"* r?

A Loyal Mayor Forced to' Huriiah for eff Davis.?WTe learn from a gentleman up a win vxitrkssvuk', j ikc county, mo., yesteruay, lal the rebel raiders w ho captured the steamKate Kearney at that place during the esent week, took the Mayor prisoner, nr.d iked him if he would hurrah for Jeff. Davis, sq. He replied in the negative, when one of ic raiders mildly drew forth his revolver, and :ntly cocking it, told him if he did not com y he would blow his brains out. The Mayor ood appalled with speechless horror at the How's audacity, and was only made to realize s hazardous situation by the 'goriily" rciterang his threat. Mr. Mayor was forced to loeomb, and slowing waved his hat over his lacf, in compliariftc with the "pressing" retest, and shouted three tithes for the rebel resident. Even this would not satisfy the [treasonable raider, and he called on his honor, 3t for "three times three," but three more leers for the rebel chieftain, which were o-iven. ? O f not "with n will," at least at the top of his >icc. The Mayor, who is a dry goods mermnt, was then relieved of pretty much all of is goods, and "left alone in his glory," pvobay to l>o shot, arrested and imprisoned l>y the ilitia for hurrahing for Jell' Davis.

CAMDEN DAILY JOURNAL THURSDAY MOKAIAG RUC. 39. A Nashville telegram of the 23tl says Ilddb's army was at Pulaski on the 22d.

A Smart Official.?We notice by the Richrdotul papers, that n man calling himself W. H. Mauiiv was detained at Columbia, S. C., a lew days since by a Confederate official on the charge of being a Yankee spy. Instead of searching his nrisonnv nt. rm fleer act down t-> write out an order for liis arrest.? While ho was so doing the prisoner pulled a snudi packago out of his pocket and threw it into the fire, at iho same tiruo exclaiming "now arrest if you wish."' We know not who the "oflicial was, but he certainly did not exhibit much shrewdness. - A person against whom there is evidence enough to cause him to bo arrested as a spy*, should be searched without any delay. We think the Confederate official should be at once promoted to a position where it is now necessary to exercise much practical rommon sense. This same Mauky was the young man recently arrested in Camden, and carried to Columbia for a further hearing.
