IV, Fegues, formerly Postmaster at p Camden, has kindlj offered to forward the j, mails from Camden for the citizens of this place as oltcn as an opportunity may present iUclf, if ^ they will furnish him with n:i order for the pur> at pose. For this friendly offer (which wo gladly accept) he has the warm acknowledgements of n this community. It is a favor which deserve* | ? vo ue Highly appreciated. A "Farmer." o Our friend, a "Farmer," sends us for publi- P cation another communication en the same 14 aubject as the former, which, we make reom l' for, as a practical refutation ef the charge, made no doubt in the heat of argument, that we arc disinclined to hear both sides. The last is seemingly in answer to something which ap- f( pearcd in our editorial columns ; but ss no new ^ point, so fsr as we are able to 4i*iaet has been raised, and no position which we remember c' ever to hare taken has been controverted, we ! see no occasion for a single line of reply from bi us. The entire scope end drift of our friend s g articles go to show tlist which we conceded in the outset: that is, the necessity for relief to debtors. And now, having published everything upon ' the subject that we have been requested by our 01 correspondents to do, and no progress made | towards the ? " _ vu VU]CVfc? uicy not ftaviug | developed a solitary plan or mode by which relief can be obtained?our friends, we are pen suaded, cannot consistently hud fault with us if we should decline in the future to publish any f I communication on this subject which does not pi contain something more than vague generalities. The Physician who recognises the existence of a disease and confidently expresses his belief in thu possibility of a cure, has generally a remedy at hand by which he hopes to effsct th the desired object. w Let our friend favor ua with a plan, and we ra will endeavor, in a spirit of caudorpad fairness, to consider its feasibility, and to discuss the ^ constitutional questions which thaproposed remedy ma/involve; but we cannot consume ru time, which is of some value to us, in a discuss- f*] ion of dead iitxe* ; or in controverting poiuts pi not germiu to the enquiry, whether relief te ?n aentort can lawfully be extended, . % ^ A Projected Railroad. PJ period when sUrvftien is staring u> in . tbe bee would seem to be uopropitioue for indulging in Railroad schemes end speculations. But we beTe been pleased to leern, that, net* cV withstanding the unfavorable character of the th times, a project for a Railroad in this District is aa talked of with some probability of * speedy ^ realization. It is known to most of our readers that the P* enterprising company of Taylor Asbury carried on an extensive mining and manufacturing jn business, during tbe war, at the place, knpwn jB as the Hade's gold mine, in tbe Eastern portion of ttys District, end that their worlta and ma. *! vuwory were destroyed by the enemy. Uiace w then, these gentlemen have Mid a peO* of their ' laUreet lo the nine to a Northern company, lu which bee ample capital and reoo?roos, and it ,, is through this company that the projected ft| Road is designed to be built. It is aaid that a Road will be necessary in order to fully develope P? the wealth of the mine; that, besides geld, there are vast deposits of Sulphur, Copper, Jtlumu, and other minerals, whioh cannot be tit introduced into market, except by RaHreed 0l transportation. We understand that the com* ^ pany is now in communication with the North* _ Eastern Railroad company and that the design ' in to run a branch from Florence direot to the f,y nine, with the prospect of ultiaaately connect- th ing with Charlotte. tb We iurite further inquiry sod information f] on the subject. Will some one connected with the company, or who is familiar with their ? plans and purposes, faror us with farther parth culara f Railroad would bo of tmmeofe advantage hoi in tkn -? ,LI- *' *' * * vinim a. ?> Mine. It WOUiq t?Dd riS greatly to furnish that much desired i|?tR?nturn?"relief to debtors," and not only to d?b tors, bat to eeeryfody else. Not the least of Its , benefits would be to bring Into notice and wan- ' fcet the ntiaserops Gold mines in this District, Wl which, for the want of proper energy and caph hit tal, bars aersr been developed let us have on more tight en the question.

The people appear to bo much concerned at hit lime on tho aubject of "relief to debtor*," I ind various schemes are being devised for poet>onlng the collection of debta To the boneet ind overt urdened debtor, who reoogniseo hie ibligstions and manifests a deeire to pay to tho utent of hit ability, relief ehoald and no doubt > rill be extended. And It would doubtleap bo i great convenience to all dames of debtors lot to be required to pay their debts. But in >ur humble judgment there la a question which t paramount to the other, and, at tnls parti euar juncture, it deserving of far more attention; ind that is, how to avoid the dire calamities of tarvation. We are no alarmist, and It is our isbit to exhibit the bright side of the picture ; tut facts cannot be gainsayed, and it is our deiberate conviction that a famine la our afflicted roantr* is fearfully iuiinent. Many or our best citizens express tbe belief hat the grain crop of this District will not be lufUcient to breed the people and feed a limited upply of stock until January. This District, re believe, is ratber worse than an average, >ut the State generally, from all that we can tear, la not much better off than we are. We lear ot no eectiou that la making provision to ipare, and scarcely any that will make enou *h or their own use. In this extremity what are we to do ? The eolton crop is almost a failure and will not mpply the means of buyiug grain at tho regu> ar market value. Much can be done by indU ridual effort, in making prudent use of what re have ; but the emergency requires more han this ; it calls loudly for the Interposition >f State aid and authority. We venture to suggest that the State should, J speedily as possible, purchase in the West ire hundred thousand bushels of corn and ilace it within the reach of the people at the irice of cost and transportation, with a liberal revision for gratuitous distribution to such as are neither money or property. It is a subject which cannot be too soon atended to. It involves na raxed legal and contitutionn) complications. It propones to benefit be entire State at the expenaeof the whole, and I Ota particular class of persons at the expense I f another class, It (surged in the interest of | umanity, and to prevent a calamity tar mora errible than the saarihce #f houaaa and plants- , on*. It in a meaaurc of great and lainent ublic necessity ; and a* such w# commend it ' i the earnest attention of the Legislators of 1 iis Stats. i For the Lancaster Ledger. t Mr.bbkfl Editors : The public mird ( >r sotno time past appears to have been ( biefly directed toward devising a way of ( icape from lbs groat disasters that the ( de war and its consequences have ^ rougbt upon the people of the Sou there % latea.

One fourth of an average t op ia Lancaster District can now. ia no t ' nt be made; and probablv not more t< ian half enough of grain to supply the ? aata of her inhabitant*,? and we have 9 ason to believe that the other Districts c the State are not much more highly * vored.

It should be remembered, th*t the debtor ia not now in the condition in which he wee when the debt wee con trsnted?that hie property has been swept sway by ruthless hand*?that hi* ability to pay has been greatly diminished, and that too by no fault of his own, and that ha probably has a fanvlr which require* the mean* of tilwiaiaoc* Thi* i* no ar gumcnt in fsvor of repudiation. but it is n forcible one in favor of forbeimnte Time una indulgance thus extended m*v citable tbem te pay off ihnir debts. and be the means of saving embarrassed debtor* in tbe end from bankruptcy aud ruin.
