The charter for the new bridge over the Waterfee near Camden has been granted by the Legislature, and it is probable that its construct r tion will be commenced as soon as summer comes, as the water at that time is lower and more favorable for rapid work upon the piers. We hope by next fall to see the structure completed. It will be of great benefit to our town, and a ^reat con venience to the citizens of West Wateree, as it >vill enable them to come to town at any time, and ail of the bad and muddy roads they have to travel over now will be avoided. Let the work be pushed forward as rapidly as possible, A Bad Bridge. We have often before called the tho attention of cur County +Viq vonr nnenfp UOiiiiiiiseiiuticAo w "-"j condition of the bridge over the canal leading to Chesnut's mill, just below Caniden, and the only thanks we 1 ccived was in curses and abuse for ' meddling with matters that did 1 A concern us."

Last Friday was the seventeenth anniversary of the burning of Columbia by Sherman's army. The large crowd of people in [town last Saturday made business pretty brisk with our merchants. Last Friday was a real summer day in Camden, the thermometer ranging away up in the seventies. The farmers of Chester complain that the Ilessian fly is doing great damage to their small grain crops. Every person in the county who has space enough for a good garden should immediately set to work and plant it. .

A little boy was asked if he knew where the wicked finally went to. He answered: " They practice law here a sped and then go to the Legislature." The slingshot nuisance is pretty active at this time.

Gregg Mrs. Gregg was formerly Miss Frankio E. Place, of our town. We heve never yet heard of an instance where sneers, jeers and de nunciations won back a person who had gone astray. It is as applicable in politicsjas in social life. In 1805 thero was no frost after the 17th of February, and the local agent of Mr. Yennor says that the present season, in its main features, will be a duplicate of that. The canvas for municipal officers in Columbia has already begun. Three candidates for Mayor are already in the field, and the contest | promises to be a lively one. The "Pink Eye," a new horse disease is spreading among the horses in Columbia. Cue livery stable has already closed its doors to the public, all the horses being unable to work.

The fact of the business if, there has boon so muoh rain, that it made the roads too muddy for us to travel on them with any pleasure? so muddy that many of us wero kept from goiog to church on Sundays? especially those of us who wanted an ex cuse to stay at home. The warm weather is forcing vege tation forward in a hurry. Our oat ' and wheat fields are looking as well as I ever saw ihcra look at this season of the year. We intend to make the oat crop make up in a measuro for the loss of our corn crop last summer. Whenever the weather permits now we are at work in our fields prepuring for the coming crop. Very few of us havo done much work yet, but we arc begging to come dowD to it. A good deal of cotton will be planted?fully as large a crop as was put in last year. I see that many of my neighbors aro trying guano again. I intend to tight it out on my own line this year and let guano slide. _ The sOiily net profit on it is for the dealer?not for the farmer, and I am not the only one who has i found it out, either, i The Stock Law doss not cause much trouble with us.

That wo invoke and earnestly solicit ?ii nni. f?Hnw citizens of this count? to unite with us in kind, cordial and earnest efforts to mitigate as much as possible the infliction of the stock law, If you are nat injuriously affected uy it yourself, unite with us in sympathy with your neighbors who are cruelly and deeply injured, Let your pre viously existing fence stand and forbear for this year only to plant unprotected crops or to require your neighbors to keep their live stock under fence. You know the year has almost been a famine year from drought, and that with nine-tenths of the owners of live stock in this county it will amount to confiscation to keep their live stock under fence. Arc you so insensible to every impulse of justice and generosity as to look with indifference upon such in-, justice merely because you are not a sufferer by it? Or even to join in inflicting it because it nay be of some trifling advantage to you, thus cruelly to injure hundreds of fellow citizens who have been your noifftihnra ' Wo mit these 1J IUUU3 uuu ?v.g..vv.w . - - I questions to you as just men, as patriots, as neighbors and as christians. ]0. That we call on all our fellow citizens throughout the State to unite with us in endeavoring to maintain their rights and our liberties. We have recently celebrated the victories of Cowpens and of Yokktown with imposing ceremonies. Shall we in the next *ycar thWeafter suffer ull their fruits to be snatched from us with the right of suffrage, and permit ourselves and our children to be reduced to a state of political bondage worse than that from which those great victories delivered us ? Let no man plead v^it he wants to keep out of politics, abstain from an issue like this is to renounce the highest duties which devolve upon* us as citizens or as men. Ask your conscience and your self-respect it it is noi so. 11. That to bring the full moral force of the people to bear against all our grievances and secure their ultimate abatement and repeal, we respectfully but strenuously urge the people of this county and of our sister counties throughout the Slate to organize into People's Right's Clubs, to meet as early as practicable in county conventions and ultimately in a State convention, to take counsel together to secure the rights and liberties of all against such grave perils and unprecdented encroachments. 12. That a county Executive Committee pro tern, to consist of five members, including the chairman and two or more of whom with the chairman will constitute a quorum, bo appointed by this meeting to continue in office until a county convention is assembled to elect a county Executive Committee, and that the said Executive Committee ure urged to take every practi eaM.' meaus of forming People's Rights Clubs in every portion of this county where such clubs are not already formed and ol extending Uieir iormauon imo uur aiem counties throughout the State; and thai the officers and executive committees ol P. It. Clubs in this county arc hereby earnestly solicited and urged to enroll without delay every citizen within their respectivt limits who will consentthereto. 13. That the issue now forced upon us ii oue involving all our dearest and most sa cred rights; one in which we appeal to ou: neighbors, friends and fellow citizens ti join us by the strongest and best motive that should influence us as patriots o christians; and if, notwithstanding sucl 1 appeals and such motives there should b some who stand indifferent by, or evei i join those who jcek to rivet the shackle , of despotism upon us, they will force u thereby to regard them as unworthy c 1 our futuro confidence, and to treat them ac 1 cordingly. 14.
