"the journal ) CAMDEN, NOVEMBER U, 1869. To oar Patrons. It in well known to our friends that It ha* not been oar custom to dttn them-1 through these columns, but we arc reluctantly compelled to deviate from this custom, and now earnestly urge all indebted, to call ett once, and wettfc their accounts. The ..fjcat end we hare in view, iti conducting the Journal is to wake it a welcome risitor to every household, and to do this requires money, as all our expenses havo to be paid in Cash. Wo arc encouraged to hope that this call will not be unheeded, and that in a short time, no unsettled accounts will remain npon our books. To those who have punc'ually paid a id anubled us to keep our little bark "afloat, we tender our warmest thanks. Survivor** Association.

No IT. fa my last number, I suggested two points in conecoiion with this proposed Rail Road for the consideration of your loaders interested* iiv the subject. In this brief article, I beg to submit two otfcerar Pirst, It is iirpV??sil3o for planters fifteen miles from a Rail Road to compete with those near one, for they have to*p?j ten to twenty per cent, more on most articles of consumption purchased and realixo on their crops sold', except on cotton, a coiresponding los?, cottoD being a more valoaldc commodity, the per centagc of oobt in transportation is less. Thus, a ton of Phosphate in Camden, is worth seventy dollars. It eostsa planter twenty miles off, ten dollars per ton to haul ity this is 142-7 per oent.; a ton of corn eot?, say,, the same amount and furnishes the same per rentage of additional expense y a ton of salt'will cost about twenty dollars, and will cost nearly fifty per ceot to del ver it,?it eoste ten per cent, to deliver iron, the great necessity of tlic planter, and upon forage, the cost of transportation is almost prohibitory. It is true that this hauling is mostly done with the teams and labor of the farmer, but the true test of i's value is the market value of the price of such hauling, and more" I over, when the loss of time, neglect of la other woik, wear ntid tear of mules, n| wagons &c., are all considered, it may P' well be doubted whether tcivmsters con- n< . ; .. v * fining their time and attention exclu- gi sively to hauling, could not dothe;worfc' fo cheaper than the planter cant All iatportantfeature in this matter of constmt ^ and protracted haHling is that it has to 8| be done inopporiunieiy, iu mmsvu ouu 0| ant of season,-fcoth^n to weather; pfrrnr^ tt tation work and a plantation near a de- ai , - - v S r v r;jr z T / . ?* pot ^an select-a part of a day at' any eeason, when tho -weather- is good and ^ plantation work slack, but there is no tl such possibility for oft recurring trips h of two or threo days each.

Friday, when the planters Jcanred of ^ an advance on the Wednesday beferc, !h of two coots a pouod ou cotton?they Jj generally determined to avail them- a selves of it, Tuesday following, the earliest practicable day, found several * of them in Camden, when the advance ,4 had been entirely lost, and this Season e I have known the delays of two days transportation to cost the planter a loss n of five ccuts a pound on his cotton. Hanging Rock. |j p Correrpondence of tbe Camden Journol. Q Charleston, S. C , Nov., 9. Mr. Editor : None of your subscribers can be ignorant of the discreditable events that have transpired ol late amongst us in Charleston. But a few words more upon tho subject may scjvc to impress it upon their memory, and h it is expedient that these things should i be remembered by all true tncn. Be- j| sides the shooting affray, the subss- ^ quent trial of T. 0. Mackey, not to speak of tho previous scenes in Council J have been altogether so disagrnceful and 1 revolting that it is hard for any one not 1 upon the spot to realize the truth of ^ them. The scene in Council when the attempted wholesale robbery of the 0 Treasury, for the benefit of the chief scoundcl Corbin, ended io the collision 1 of the two Mnckcy's, has Devcr in I he r annals of the world been equaled. That r a body supposed to represent Che dignity and respectability of a community should permit such a disgraceful "con* r trc temps" in their midst, and while as- r semblcd for business, to all honest men j must be almost incredible. But, that ." two members of that body, which in the good old times, when South Carolina was justly proud of all of hor representatives, whether local, judicial, or logis- v lative, was used to be called "The ven- 8 crablc City Fathers," bearing the rela- 0 tion to each other of uncle and nephew; r should, during the debate and upon a 1 purely personal issue, draw and firo ^ nistnls unou each other, sumasscs in a I ~ "I - t ' I disgracefulness anything that erer was 1 upon record. Siuce then, and since F the fareieal trial of T. J. Maekcy on f Thursday night kist} k i? said, and' ^ pretty generally believed, that the whole affair was gotten up between the v two Mackeys for some shrewd purpose ' of their own. It may very well be true, f1 for the most dangerous feature in the K composition of these uicn is that as well ? as being consummate scoundrels they * are remarkably intelligent,, and well ? educated meD, capable of anything. T. 1 J;. M. seems to be exceedingly intelligent and1 his eloquence is remarkable. Ilia speech at the trial on Thursday J night when he resigned his position, * Was a master piece of elocution. There 0 is a rumor afloat that as he has made all a that he can nut of the radical party, he 1 is now anxious to join the democrats. I v don't think, however, that we would accept of his services. Ilis talents are F rather too varied and his conscience too ^ obtuse for such simpletons as wc honest 1 Democrats. r v What a strange conversion of terms ^ it is tv> call ns "Democrat's." who are, v Rfrictlv speaking, frvJi/ Republican in ( prinoiplc, while tho radical Ropubli- e cans arc decidedly men democratic in e their views and tastes than wc arc.

In 1858aceordingto Dana theonly data we have'at hnnd two hundred thou sand Cooties were worked profitably in Cuba alongside of the cheapest form of slave laburr African negroes altogether males, bought and worked like mules. There is a cominoo expression of some T)f our people that they prefer the negro as a laborer to say nothing of the abomination of "Heathen fires artd Pagan sacrifices" the new comer brings with him, but they mast remember the only way to beep the negro to his wuik is to introduce the Coolie. The best friend of tftc bfack man (and your comtniitec would respectfully submit that they yield to none in the estimate of his tfjie value) should desire something that forces upon him a-,recognition of the obligation of labor for his own benefit. They have every reason now fir thinking that they have the game in their own hamls, that they can dictate what terms they please, not only charging for their labor more than capital can bear, but rendering all crop results uncertain by striking at a critical time, in its cultivating; nothing is so sensitive to this uncertainty affugriculturc. , In Louisana th" decided steps taken to introduce the Coolie and thefuet that they have lilrcudy seen some is having a tmod effect, niaking the belter cla^y qf .negroes satisfied- with their con\ dition and disabusing them of the idea that by monopoly 01 Labor and "Legislation" tbey are masters of the situation.
