TIIE JOURNAL'! CAMDEN, MARCH 3,1S70. ! b Cotton Planter. * ( ( We would call the attention of planters to the Messrs. DeSaus.?ure & Go 's advertisement of PniCEs' Champion I Cotton Planter, for which they hold I the right for Kershaw District. The ^ machine appears a perfect one of its ^ hind, allowing great facility in planting, ^ regulating the deposite of the seed with all the accuracy desired. It is evident ^ ly a tin\e saver, and therefore a money i - Inaker, on the principle that time is n money. At a period when all the usual laborers required by our farmers, 1 i l r . 1 ? may not DC iormcoming, any improve- > ment in machine laborers should be encouraged, and among these articles offered to the public, the Champion Planter will assert its position in this f>' section, as it has wherever it has been introduced. The advertisement furuishes full particulars of the capability of the machine to perform its allotted ask. ^ I Cotton Seed HuIIer. |j Attention is called to Brodie A Co's, ^ uotice of Shaws Cotton Seed Hul- ^ . : LER in our columns to day. This is S another of the useful invention that are 1 intended to advance the value of the ^ v J A great Southern Staple. The Iluller is n ?' highly spoken of by those who have bad it in use. 1 ft,.

Montague Grimke. The report makes a very favorable exhibit of the condition of the different Schools, both white tl and colored, under the charge of the ^ Commissioners. The number of scholars, the Secretary estimates at about i. ' " I 1 3,000. The Secretary asks the perti-1 g neot question : who can estimate the j c mighty influences for good or for evil, { involved in the training of this youthful ? army ? a question, that time, it is hoped will solve to the honor of both the pupil's and all those engaged in the laudable undertaking. f ' A Washington dispatch say9: "The eadetship investigation ;.s in confusion, aDd it is difficult to determine to what extent the committee will further push the examination. Letters and telegrams come to them from all quarters charging present and ex members with sales of cadctship3, and one of these thus charged is in a very high position. "Wuittcuiorc alleges that one of the committee who signed his expulsion has been in the business, and that his letters are extant to prove it. It is expected that Butler will offer a resolution instructing the committee to inquire who it was that offered Kcgler five hundred dollars for Whittemore's letter, and report further says Fernando Wood was that man." Radical rumar hath it that Representative Iloge means to clinch the question of his own purity, in the mat- > ?er of appointing cadets, by nominating ! for a eadetship, at an early day, the son i of one of his black constituents. That J will ccrtaiuly be very loyal and disinterested on the part of Iloge; but the boy, we take it, will be apt, for a time at least, to have a nice time of it among ' his fellow cadets.?

' prisoners wumn me limns 01 me ocaie of Georgia, the Augusta Chronicle states t that the carpet bag Governor Bullock 1 has sent a pardon to Hubbard in ad- \ vance of bis trial, aod that when the ! Superior Court meets next week, a mo- j tion will be made by Hubbard's coun- j( set to have his bond cancelled by vir-! i tue of Bullock's instrument. There is no doubt that if Hubbard should have f come to tr'al he would have been convicted. Indeed so assured was the pns- j oner, himself, of the result, that he had ' s announced his intention of not coming : [ to Augusta when the ?Sujcrior Court j. met, preferring rather to let the mo- j ( ' nev of South Carolina (advauced by Governor Scott, as bail) be forfeited j1 than face a Georgia jury. j1 < Taxable Property.

New York, Feb. 22,1870. Mr. Editor: In a previous letter, I eferred to the multitude of crimes in bis Sodom. A elaoce at the papers inje then will confirm the remarks, for Ot only within the city, but around the ity, what vices and crimes fill the air. ilmost within the heart of New York, hers is a section bounded by Broadway, lleeckcr, West-Houston and Mulberry treets, that is a perfect caloca of filth nd crime. From this rink of polluion, comes a very large portion of the and of thieves and murderers that insst the city and its sububs. The locaion is the quarters of "plug uglies," soiled doors" and "parucl houses," the cccivers of stolen goods There is section in one of your upper counties ailed, X thiol:, "hell's half acre," this onion of New York might be called hell's acres.Thc^propcrty is owned >y that priuce of cheats, P. T. Barnuin, rho reaps a rich harvest of rents from he off scourings of humanity. It is trangc that the authorities do not take neasurcs to purge the neighborhood of he nuisance. The "city of Churches'' is fast rising 0 the position to claim the additional itle, the "city of crimes." The Voortces murder on the evening of the 13th tas made more noise than others comnitted on less noted persons, he being 1 master builder of Brooklyn. This act ogcthcr, with the murder of Townscnd ind Mrs. Sheridan, by her husband, in *Jew York, arc only a part of the many uurdcrs that have shocked the public :ars within a few weeks. The trial of ^erry, for the killing of the night ratchuian in Brooklyn a few weeks igo, resulted in two mistrials, when he vas admitted to bail. This fact has irought out a letter of apology from the irosccuting Attorney, addressed to the nurdercrs and thieves, within his bailrick, advisiDg them that henceforth, hey may carry on their meritorious raffic unmolested. Reynolds, the kiler of Townscnd, asserted, after comnitting the act, that "hanging for raurler, was played out in New York "? die assertion may not prove a foregone lonclusion in his case, as he has been :onvictcd of murder in the first degree, >ut, as he has not yet been executed, here may be a slip, if not n slip noose. The attempted assassination of a Mr. rlaton, a few evenings since, near his iwn dwelling, together with the long ist of robberies and murders, has aouscd a portion of the prominent ;cns to organize for the better protection >f life and property in their midst, and o prevent criminals from escaping from heir merited punishment, and it is to jc hoped their efforts will be successful. iVhen those in office wink a crime, and letectives arc occasionally, at least, ;aught in the act, a loose state of morals s not very astonishing. It is decidedly interesting to hear some Radicals expatiate on the state ;f soeicty at the South, while they are wreathing the pure air of this section. The hue and cry they make over a cock ind bull story of crime at the South, sirculated by some Radical sheet, is rmusing, especially so when one has rcry good reason for knowing the stor V vi>' to be as void of truth, as the utteriDgs J of some of their worthy divines are of < piety. You may now and then meet j with nno. who has some faith in the final : salvation of the South, through the in- i strumentality of the carpet-baggers, < (Scott, Whittemorc, Kowen, and kin- J drod spirits) and the futdre prosperity ( of the country by the all of northern ] enterprise. rJ hey intend to regenerate i the South, now that the^bavc succeed- 1 ed in removing the incuCus that was, J in their estimation, crushing her to tho ( earth. Kind souls, theyhopc to have ; their names recorded on*the scroll of i fame for deeds of philanthropy. Will j they bring that prosperity to the South of which it has been rolled to carry out their selfish, and political ends? Will they restore the bl^pd they have spilt?the wealth they hue squandered J ?the morals they have corrupted, by letting loose upon the communities, a people destitute of educ^oQj and with i few exceptions, the common decencies of society ? Will they restore the worthy families they have reduced to begtrary ?the husbands to the widows? When they have accomplished these ends, then they may boast of/,Wr measures of reconstruction. Until then, let them keep their blatant tongues employed in asking forgiveness for the wrongs they have committed. ^ One of your worthy representatives seems to be getting into a somewhat tight place, from his ve^ludable desire to help the poor of hifrcWigressional i district. Bonaparte said,. "I am the State,"?your ft ied Representative, the Reverend B F. Whittemore, no doubt considers himself the poor of his section and has accordingly giverfto the poor? trusting to gnll the public into the belief that in doing so he has lent to the Lord.

Shd^M he bs rewarded according to his works, as they now appear, what a fall thcro will be?"how art thou fallen, oh! Lucifer," may with truth be said.

Frotn jiie .l.i.ilniiilii'1^1^"'^- * The South Carolina Railroad. I do not propeee, Mr. Kditor, to write a history of this railroad, -which was the first railroad over constructed in the Southern States, and for somo time, the longest road in the world; but merely to throw out a few hints, eo that stockholders may see their true interest and not part with their stock, when wc have evidently passed the crisis of our affairs, aod with ordinary pradcnco and foresight on the part of tho Directors, the stock so long almo; t worthless, will now contiauc steadily to advance to its par value Tho Directory doubtless, had many difficulties to contend with when the war closed, and it is not necessary in this article to disonss the wis dotn of their management; suffice it to say, all tho difficulties have been overcome?H>nr future prospects arc bright and the road in excellent condition.? Our foreign debt, of about &2;000.000, went to protest during tho wai ; add to this, the road and rolling stijfck was almost totally destroyed by .Sherman's army, l|)o prospec's, therefore, were gloomy indeed in 1865, but in February, '66, the road was in complete running order; we have now, if not enough, at least, a handsome outfit of locomotives, passenger and freight cars, of all kinds; our foreign debt has (eicept a small 6um) been settled upon /very liberal terms : five percent, and twenty years to pay. The receipts of the road have been heavier within the last twelve months than ever before in the same period, and there is every probability, that they will reuch Sl,500,l'00 by February next. Our prospects justify us in such reasonable expectations.? Consider them for a moment. The Columbia and Augusta Railroad has not ruined the South Carolina Road; as was confidently predicted, and it is evidently there is room enough for both, and instead of the receipts falling off, they have actually increased.! This is attributed to twojjeauses: First, the increased energy, zeal, vitality and spirit infn?cd into every department of business; ?n a woid, the progressive spirit of the age. Second, the important connections this road has ODly partially made with the Georgia roadsN?In less than one month the connections wilj be complete and passengers will take " the cars at Macon and get out in Charleston. Thousands of passengers, who go North every year from Macon and points in the interior beyond Macon, and have heretofore gone down the Central Railroad to Savannah and took ? vr~~ v?-i, ?,.,i ;ri?D SlCUllJUi iu xi ot xuia auu umv-i jjujuhj North; they will now have a much more dcsirahle and direct route from Macon to Charleston via Augusta, 100 miles shorter; in a fow months, also, the cars will run through the city to the water, where they can step from the cars on board the steamers and go direct to Liverpool, New York, Boston, Baltimore and other points. The steamers ire already on the lines and doing successful business, and if Southern people will look to their interest, our cotton iced not, in future goto New York, on its way to. Europe, to be tolled. The receipts river the Central Road are over 51,000,000, it is not unreasonable to jxpect onc-foijrth of this for our road. The Directors have determined to de:lare a dividend in July, to be quarterly thereafter, and those who gave up in despair and sold out, I think will only regret it, for unless war, or an earthquake, or some other unforeseen casualj ty happen, stock will be double its present price in less than twelve months. For political as well as pecuniary considerations, I would say to South Carolinians: Keep control of the South Carolina Railroad. CIVIS. CIRCULAR. Charleston, Feb. 35, 1870. <JAt a called meeting of the members Df the South Carolina Institute, on the [hh inst., among other proceedings, the following resolution was submitted by Hon. W. D. Porter, and on due consideration, was unanimously adopted : "Resolved, That the President of the South Carolina Institute, be requested to invite delegations from the various County Agricultural Mechanical and Immigration Societies throughout the State, to assemble in Charleston on the first Tuesday in May next (3d) to take into consideration the questions of labor and immigration; and means for the further development of the Agriculturalintcrcsts of the State." Gentlemen :?As the Executive officer of this State Institute Association. I talte the earliest opportunity to lay before you the appended resolution, and respectfully to invite an earnest consideration of its import, and the appointment of such number of delegates as your Association, C'ub or organization may deem proper. Authorized credentials from the presiding officer of the respective Societies, will pass delegates on the South Carolina Railroad foT half the fare, as doubtless will be adopted by other liucs of road. The paramount importance for a broad ar.d united organization as indicated by the resolution, is self evident. To induce Settlers, Immigration and efficieut laborers to till the fertile and genial lauds of South Carolina, and bring out her various resources of manufacturing, and oth> r industrial pursuits, demands co-operative action of iL. -- I. f .L-. 1 ! ihi; pi'i'pn-, irum uiu iiiouiJiaiu rc^iuu to tho sen board, and the influence of all true men ought to be enlisted.

W>i. M. LAWTON. President South Carolina Institute. The Chatham Road runs daily trains to Haywood, and has ulso nearly completed a survey from Haywood by Lockvilie to Joncsboro. Engineers have just been locating by survey and measurement, this line of road as continuation of the Chatham road, to intersect our Western road. We are unable to say whether this connection of road will be built at once or not. Dr. Hawkins, the President of the Chatham Road and R. & G.

IlawkiDs, it is said, believes lie can pet the S. C. Legislature to votg "ample" appropriation for some such road. We have but little belief that the money appropriated to our road will be used in extending it to Salisbury.
