The Enemy ia Camden. |
Freu the Camden Journal dnd O?nfrdcralc,
we condense the following details of the ene- :
my's occupation of that town: They appeared !
in small force, on-thc evening of the l^th Feb?
ruary, and were repulsed by a hasty levy of the
Citizens, under Col. ?Tones. In large force, they
entered the town on the 20th, and proceeded
instantly to the work of plunder. Every hou?e ]
was gutted of its valuable content?-more' or j
less ..rnptied ? F all its stores. The worl* of t he ?
incendiary promptly followed thc labors of the 1
robber.' Tba railway, passage and freight de?
pots were the first to burn-then the ancient
'?Cornwallis House"-then the commissary and
quartermaster's store-bouse* and dwellings* tho
stores' of George Douglass, the cotton ware
homes, th? Wa ter ec Bridge, the Masonic Hall,
the brick building beld as an enrolling office,
Oppeiiheim's residence, MCKB?D'B drug store and
jbr-e buildings to the ?South of it, and all the
hob's" on Main street. But t?vo houses escaped
pillaging-the house*of Bishop Davis and an?
other, over which guards were placed. Their
rapacity, brutality, cunning, impudence and
falsehood were as conspicuous in Camd u as
bare, thong i operating o.? a smallerfinld. They
dug the earth for Measure-lound whiskey, got
drunk and made itjght hideous. The editor
says: "They seemed to take special delight in
frightening women und children, and we have
hturd of pr i yat? dwellings ?set on fire under
Circumstances of the most wanton and heart
lists cruelty." To be sure! They would not be
what they are, were it possible for "us lo con?
ceive of their tor berranee in any conflict where
tiey- felt the nselves deaiing with the powerless
and weak.
j The Confederate Senate, through a Commit
fee consisting ot Messrs. Orr, Semmes, Graham,
(hpertoa and Watson, has put forth a response
to those portion's of the Presideht's late mes
tige which seemed to cast upon Congress the
"reproach -of tedious and delinquent legislation.
This response aime to put the saddle on the
right horse..
The Congress of the Confederate States hat
blued a long and eloquent address to the peo
pie of those States, occasioned by the situatidi
bf affairs, and giving a res??te-of the stattisam
Tfelative resources cf the two parlies.
S PRANCE VS. UNITED STATES.-The French an<
Yankee papers both assert that war is now in
evitable betweea these two nations. The fm
m?diats ?aus > will-be Maximilian as? Mexico.
