The Stale Convention
TLo political history of Tennessee
speaks of feVv Conventions, more generally
attended, more united in feeling and
hatrcot-.ions in action, than the Sialo
Den ocratii Convention held in NashvilJe
on tie 17 tli inst. All portions of the
S ale were repiesented by delegates in per*
son or by proxy, and attended by?a class
of delegates of w hom any party and any
people might be justly prbuci. There
were present the statesman, the jurist.'he
attorney, the mechanic and the farmer, ^
each end all representing the varied in a
terests of the 'State, and all animated h
with the desire todiave those interests p
work on in harmony. The agricultural tl
interests of the State were represented by v
largt numbers, of hard working, plain
i substantial and intelligent farmers. men
of sense and sound judgment, w ho esteem ,
the prosperity of the Slate and the per
pettiuy 01 ire irue repuoncan principle* |
of ^overnrnent of far higher importance P
than the honors ol piece or the promo v
lions to rark. Of jutoh whr the jJouven
tion composed ami -their deliberate and
settled convictions upon Slate policy,
could be hardlv otherwise than wise, t
sound and practical. (
The nomination of Isham O. Harris for v
re election to the oUice of Governor, was ,
in accordance with the expressed will ami '
wish of tl;e pernocracy from one end of
the State to the otiier. No name was 1
i put in nomination against his, nor did we c
Lear even the mere suggestion of the ^
thing. The administration of Gov. liar i
yis has been one of straigbtfoi ward hones *ty,
economy, firmness and stiict imparti
ality, in other words, purely Democratic,
ftnd his re,nomination bv acclamation, j
was a compliment desening and well (
bestowed. That the re nomination of
Gov. Harris is eqnivnlent to an election !
in August, no one p.-etendr. to doubt, and '
yet Democrats will 'ren^crrbor thru "?ker- '
nal Vigilance, h the price of Liberty.*' 5

Good Old Camden. ,
We direct attention to an article or. |
our first page, taken from that'excellent ,
paper, the Sutnler Watchman, in which
reference is made to several of our pro ,
tninent Merchants, who are advertising
through its columns. These advertise
moots werb sent, the most of them by,
tbefEdito^of the Journal, who is the an v
thorized Agent of the Sumter Watchman '
and Lancaster Ledger, for Camden and v
Kershaw District, and who will ho hap ii
'py to receive all orders fof advertisements S
and subscriptions to either or both of |
these papers. Tl.ey afford capital medi
uins to our Merchants, who aie greatly I ,
interested in the trade of these two large I
nd flourishing Disliicts, and experience i .
has abundantly demonstrated the advan- I 1
lages resulting froin liberally advertising
in gcod District papers. It is money well ^
iinvested, and will pay heller in proper J
tion than the same amount put into any
kind of stock that we know of.
The complimentary terms in which the
Watchman has been pleased to speak ol ' y
'good o'd Camden,''?her "glorious ante !

ted by the LI sod and dust of Mart\ rs and

who can appreciate the unsolicited com j '

There has been, of late years, a diapo- h
sition on the part of some, to undervalue I c
and lightly esiesm "g.rod old Camden," u
but the tide ban somewhat turned, and t
we find ourselves not quite as had off as r

The War Prospect.
The'latest news from Europe, which will
be found elsewhere in this paper, tend to
confirm the apprehensions of n general
European war. The work of preparation
is complete, and every fortress in Europe
seems to be charged and primed for the an*
ticipated conflict. The most minute exei- |
ting cause may be sufficient to set the ball j
in motion. Dispatches have been received J
at Washington from the United States i
Ministers at l.ondon, Paris, Madrid and (
Vienna, all of which speak of war in Eu- j
rope as apparently inevitable, and state that
business was suffering great depression in \
consequence of the disastrous prospect.
What effect a general European war will i
have upon the Uniled States is a question
of vast moment. P. must fell disastrously j
upon the price of cotton. We observe that
the opinion is currently advanced, that the j
anticipated conflict ill Europe w ill ultimately ;
inure to Iho benefit of the United Stales.
This is probably n just conclusion to the
extent of the nianufscturing and grain rais* I
ing (nicest*. The cotton spun in Austria, I
Sardinia and other States on the Continent
will remain to be manufactured in the Uni* j
ted States. lfreadsliifTs will of course rise
in price. The capital in Europe being direct*
ed in the one great channel?the carrying
on of hostilities?many speculative enterprises
in the United States may llonrish in
consequence ; but nowhere can we see that
the consumption of cotton is to be augmented
by a war, either in Europe or on the j
Western Continent. Peace throughout all
the world is doubtless the condition most | :
conducive to the interests of the cotton
growing Slates of this Union.
The following is the latest upon the subject
of the war. which we take from the |
Charleston Courier of Saturday. The dispatches,
it will be seen, are contradictory :

The War Question, etcWashington,
A|>fil 1.?The results of
all the inquiries made here tend to disprove
the truth of the Charleston C'ourirr's spc
rial dispatch in relation to the commence*
merit of hostilities in Europe. The official
advices, however, from all our European
Embassies concur in the belief thai war is !
inevitable.
* The Cabinet were engaged to day in the
examination and discussion of Niearaguan
affairs. It iu understood that Sir Win..Gore |
(Lislcy's official net? lyhilo in that country j
will be severely scrutinized. The Government
is in doubt as to the truth of the re
port of (Jen. .Miramon having sold a portion
of Tehnuntepee, hut will not be surprised
if by the next steamer intelligence confirming
it is received. If it is true, they will
take strong ground against the measure, and
Congress will he convened to specially net
upon the matter.

not probable that either of them wi|J have

TIMELY ADVICE. ?
I
The editor of the Medienl Reformer remark*
that, nj jr. fhe spring and early sum J
mer, the sen?ihnitiea of the digestive organs t
are incrcnaed, the full diet of winter will, if ^
persisted in. Induce fever. This is by no p
nieana n new discovery. 'J he ancients i
named the month of February, wiien their
spring began, from fehrun\ a fever, and wisely
recnnimeudi df ** a preparative for the
heals of summer, judicious exercise, light j
diet, and the full and free use of water. ?
Professor Hollow ay, the distinguished p
English practitioner, has done something li
more than this. He has diseovored and In- t
troduccd two remedies for all the derange- "
meats incident to a change of leu pent) ore, "
which have anved the lives of IhQu'Apd* of ^
unacclimateJ travellers nnd sojourners, in '
II
every region between the equator and the ^
pole*. When a sodden transition (Voir, cold f
to heat produce* dyapepsis, liver con.plaint
fever, diarrlma, or dysentery, HoDoways m
Pills seem to subdue the diatnrbanee in the ?
>ys?#m at once, and to bring all its functions o
Uo h.ifitiony with the now atmospheric inucnco^
by which it is surrounded. Where
he shock occasioned by the change nffects
he skin or gland*. llu* Ointment, in conibiution
with the Piils, soon puts the oxterill
organization into a healthy condition.
Under these circumstances, common pruence
suggests tl.e propriety of having both
emedies always at hand at the commence"
aent of the summer, and of providing n
apply of thctu before startingon n journey
ir voyage. In this climate, summer and
utumn are, unquestionably, the sensons
nost prejudicial to health, and therefore
lOlhiug should then be left undone that
iill have the effect of fortifying and braing

Hitting the digestive apparatus in good
corking order. So far ns otir observation
[oea, IlollowayV Pills will infallibly secure
he.se results. Families who have habitual>
used them fur years ns a Spring, Sumner
and Fall medicine, declare that n comdele
exemption from the complaints usual
t those seasons has been the invariable
onsequence of their exhibition. This we
an readily believe, knowing as we do, that

eriial organs. They purify the fluids, ieijove
obstructions, nnd invigorate the diy.slive
powers. There are few systems so

. The Sickles Case 1
Mr. Sickles' Case ?m brought to the '''
notice of his houor, Judge Crawford,
Thursday rooming, by l.is attorneys, Stanton
and Chilton, with a request that the
court would use its efforts to bring their
client to trial as soon as possible.
The Court assured the counsel that he
had no control ol tho case, as the indict
merit had not coine before him, and it .
j rested wi'.h the I>istricl Attorney to make i
the necessary arrangements and appoint i
a day.
In reply, the District Attorney said ^
! that he was unable to giv* at this time yjc
any positive information as to tba day on (
1 which lie would be ready.
I Tlio counsel for Mr. Sickles then remar
| ked that n presentment had been made yj
one week ago, and they dcsirctl to know re(f
! the cause of the delay.
We have heard some surprise expressih!
at the delay, especially as it is said
that Mr. Sickles' counsel have given no
tice from day to day of their readiness to
' | proceed.
1 It is believed that the ;rial will com- i
I mence in the early part of next week. | y
There were present to day in Court iu

Phillips, Kadcliff. and Mr. Sickles' father, to
