CAMDEN. THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1819. Camden Bible Society. It is with pleasure we announce that on Sunday last a Uiele Society was organiz ed in Camden. Both Ladies and Centle men seemed heartily to unite in the meas ure. A President, two Vice-Presidents, a Corresponding Secretary and other neces sary Officers were elected. Thirty two subscribers at one dollar annually were ob tained at the meeting, and a Committee ap pointed to invite the pious, ihe benevolent and the well-wishers to the happiness of the comnyivikvy generally to become subscri btrs and members of the Society, that they may evince to Heaven and to men their concurrcnce in the great work, now in op eration, of diffusing the Sacred Volume universally through the world. \Ve wish that our paper may ever be con ducted in a gentlemanly and liberal manner *?of course we acknowledge the source ?whence toe derive information, and hope that, should our valuable correspondent from East-Florida, favorW with other let ters, they may be acknowledged, not only in the National Register., but the Augusta Chronicle?and especially the latter, an it appears to have led the Charleston Courier into a similar error. We have received an admirable Pre. sentment from the Lancaster Grand Jury, which shall be inserted in our nc*t. v HO JDS. *?-? - ?-r- ? ? ^ /- ' * The following paragraph is from the National Register and extracted from some ! liltncfto unpublished works of Joel Harlow. (i I have lately mad? a calculation of the difference of expense in trans portation by wagons, between the Dads in France and ihose in the United State* From Paris to Bor deaux is a(>out 400 miles, and the expense is 8 livres, or 81 50, for trcmsportinggoods, perqnintal; while, r from Pittsburg to Philadelphia (about 800 miles) the cost is five dollars. The difference is wholly occasioned by the superiority ef the roads in France$vtr those in the U. States."! ...... ? A subject of much interest, says the Boston Centinel, has been dinj cussed in France; and tliQ King had expressed his willingness, on pro-, per grounds, to extend the t oy a 1 cle mency to all the General*, exiled nsj traitors in 1819???< But," lie added, * for those who voted fof the death of my brother, [Louis ISthl they shall never return, excepting In such cases of age or wretchedness as I may consider worthy of indulgence on the scoApf common humanity.1" The LaliMiakds, Havaky, &c. will, therefore, be permitted to re turn; hut GARNOt, Cambaceres,] Fouciie, fcc. never. As ?$n evidence, also says the] above paper, that patriotism is nol wholly extinct even in England, we] find, that the Marquis or Garden| has relinquished to government the income of his offices, from which he would have realized about ?60,0001 dqjlars; and has received the uuani f mous thanks of Parliament for his| disinterestedness. The Boston Palladium says,?| " The Comet continues to engage at tention every night. Ninety-nineI Comets have been observed and cal culated since the year 800, of which sixty-eight were since the year 1700. The Comet announced in the north ern papers is still visible, somewhat above our north- western horizon. 11 seems to perplex some of our good people wMh fear of change; and the more prevalent opinion among the] superstitious ^tar-gazers is, that an other war is approaching. ShouldI Spain refuse to ratify the Florida! treaty, or Napoleon escape from 8t.| HeJqpa, these sagacious observe* would exclaim, ? aA, I told you so: It would be well they should ap-| point a committee to enquire wha ' connection the appearance of the sen serpent and that of this hroom-taile< celestial visitant have together. . haps they might learn whether oh Neptune lias not despatched the ser pent to see vv he titer the other had uot been sent to Cancer or Capricorn with no very friendly designs upon his watery dominions. As our Ther mometer has?beeu up this week to 90, one may fairly couclude, that all bet ween the upper world and ours is not so cool as it should he. , +lugusia paper, j " Matrimonial A young gentleman, of good fam ily and estate, aged about 23 years, who has a fine hous^, well furni wishes to obtain a partner f< who possesses the following cations.-?A humble heart, subdued and influenced by grace, which pros perity wilt ueither too much elate nor adversity deject; an uniform, mild and amiable temper, which the tri fling incidents of life will not easily irritate; a well cultivated mind; graceful and pleasing manners?rath er modest than assuming; habits of prudence and industry; a decided partiality for domestic enjoyments; a good healthy constitution; respecta ble parentage, and a fortune of from Ten to Twenty Thousand Dollars.

Southern with the Edenton line, thereby opening a communication North and South, l?y way of Norfolk^?a thing long desired^ And the experiment has abun dantly proved, that this route is capable of ufibrding all the advantages which its warmest friends expected. The proprietors have how enlarged their plan^ and will in future run four horse Stages, and in a style suited to the impor* tanee of the route. They are determined to spare neither expense nor trouble to render this line commodious to travellers* ' The S'lage runs throUfcV WfjjfcR&tleigh to Plymouth in two days, resting the fmt night at Tarborough> and an iving at mouth in the afternoon of the second day* in time to take the steam-boat and reach Edenton that evening.?The Edenton Stage sets out the next morning and arrives at Norfolk in the evening. Thus in three days, by easy travelling, and the nights Al lowed for sleep and rest) the Stage performs the route from Raleigh to Norfolk s and one dafcmore takes the passengers to Bal* timore. This line is nib each way* three times a toeek. The read is one of the best In the country, and the accommo .u tions are very good. The lines from Layeltsvilie to Hale gh and from Edouton to Norfolk, k*e kep in excellent order and superior style. An agreeable passage is therefore open IfftJl this State and the States south ot this, to the northern and eastern Slates j whereby a man may travel from this* in comfort and ease, take his Accustomed rest, and a wive in Baltimore sooner than he can by the up* peV route of Stages. If good Stage*, Horses and Drivers* with an obliging attention to travellers if an excellent road and good (are, with tWb privilege of resting of nighlf*if convenience snd dinpatch, are calculated to reco?nmend a line of Stages to the bubftc, then is this line entitled to the public patronage.
