The excite3nt was in consequence of the city police ving, on Sunday last prevented an old blind xa each^r, named Mit'chell, from preaching in c oi^the market houses of that city. Acorn 'nl ittce waited on the Mayor on Monday mort'g, in regard to the matter, who sustained the f;< lion of the p:il c . A meeting was substf- an lently held in the afternoon, and the conduct wi the Mayor severely reprobated. On Tues- Hjj y an indignation meeting was held in Monuent Square, at which resolutions wore adop i denouncing the course of the Mayor in sup essing street preaching, as a violation of the fh >erfy of speech. th It appears that the public meeting propoundsome questions to Mayor IJollins, and as a inple of the tenor of these queries, and his onor's views upon the subject, we extract the in: lowing qun?tious and answers : us " 1. Should a portion of the citizens of thi- in ;y hold a public meeting in any of the mark- nij places, and the speaker were to use language hu the discussion of his subject which should wj nflict with the interests of a certain class, e liquor dealers, and a riot slionld ensue, who mid you hold responsible for the riot, and 10 would be arrested ? Mis Honor answered ^ oinptlv, the speaker would bo In. Id rcsponsiand he be arrested "2. Should a minister of the .gospel preach j his own church, and utter sentences distaste- rc to persons outside, and they, the outsiders, ^ ?ate a riot in consequence, who would lie ^ M responsible lor the riot? His Honor an ered, the minister, and lie would be taken tof his pulpit if he used language that should k-e offence to any." \V e are inclined to tlie opinion that the worMa\or has transcended his powers. In this ate, and we presume in the majority o| the s,f lier States, the laws protect the minister of t-1 e (io<pel in the discharge of his clerical dus, and the rioters are subjected to the penal , i i . i ri' -1 s i?ir urea King u?e peace, jo carry oui tne iiiciples enunciated by the Mayor, would be C'1 abrogate the liberty of speech, and to in- do do the civil and religious liberty guarantied | to1 the citizens df this republic. It is not the j be cakcr in such cases as the above who causes i disturbance, but the hearers, who can stay i da ray if they chose. They are not compelled i lw listen to the utterance of sentiments dis j -tefiil to them, but if they will listen, and I Ce luiitarily place themselves in a position to ! cp t offended, and in consequence kick up a w, they, and tliey alone, should sutler.

Tuesday, August 9, 1853. THO. J. WARREN. Editor. Rail Road Matters. We arc pleased to learn that arrangements are about ring made to erect at the Junction* of the Columbia nd Camden Railroads, a suitable depot and house of itcrtuimncnt, for the accommodation of those who are reed to remain frequently, at this miserable apology r a depot, where thero are no pretensions for accomodation ; and worse than all, a miserable rum-hole, hose pestilential atmosphere is enough to poison the* hole country about there. Of all miserable places, tat Junction is about the meanest; audit will be a umane act in the rail road company to look occasionly to the comfort of those who are forced to remain irough long summer days, at one of the most unlovely jots that the sun ever shone upon. This proposed rangement would suit well to make the Junction the cakfast house from Columbia and Camden, as well as ie dinner house from Charleston. A new bridge over the Wateree river and trestle ,*er the swamp will soon be commenced, conjointly by ie Wilmington and South Carolina Rail Road Commies. We hope a good road will be made this time, > that passengers will not be obliged to be on the lookit for a break-down or smasli-up; which have become i common, that if such a thing was possible, people ould have gotten use to them by this time. There is bad management on our rail road someherc? we mean on the South Carolina Railroad. The ails arc very irregular, audit frequently happens that ir Charleston documents take a ride to Columbia or atnburg before we get them. This is gross and unirdonable negligence, for which somebody must be to ame; and whoever it is, ought to be made responsie. It should be submitted to no longer. Thorc ightto be at the head of the South Carolina Railroad jmpanv a man of practical business qualifications, ho xuiderstands the details of business, and whoknows 'xen tilings are done right, who, if occasion should miand, could get aboard an engine and run it himlf; a man who would be dependunt in some measure least upon the ofiico for support; who would look nstantly to the proper discharge of his duties as his ily guarantee for continuance in office. Until such man is obtained, the affairs of the road will never be much better condition than they are at present. It not to be expected that any man of independent fornc?who js not obliged to labor?will tie himself iwn to the onerous and responsible duties of the esidency of the South Carolina Railroad Com pan}-. Mr. Conner and Mr. Caldwell arc both good finnnjrr, but neither of them know mu.li about the pracral details of rail road operations, and it is unfair to :pect that they or any other man, who has not been ised to it, should understand the workings of such tricate machinery as they liavo about rail roads.? ive some able, practical and reliable man who under txitk machinery, a competent salary, and make him sponsible for the working of the road, and then we ay reasonably expect something will be done.

For the Camden Journal. What is the true state of the World we live i: and what the true relation of Man to Man ? These questions may be answered by ever inan possessed of good common sense, thong many may feel a delicacy in expressing their s< Hons thoughts concerning them. I, Mr. Edito am a straight-forward man, who is not dazzle by the display of wealth, who is not daunted b the power of riches, in all parts in which lived, and among all people with whom 1 assi ciatcd, (for in my life time I have frequeiite many places, and dealt with many persons,) was regarded as having very peculiar opinion about the ways of the world, which differed a ways from my enemies, and sometimes from m friends' ideas, about the same affairs. On wliic account men, in their sagacity to apply to otl ers epithets, which they themselves deserve much more, have called me "a little eccentric. My eccentricity, if closely scrutinized, will I found to consist in a less deviation from the ti ll course of honest and natural thought, than tli opinions of the very persons who presume to stijj unitize me so undeservedly. 1 will then giv you and the readers of your paper in plain pro? .. ..n.tii,.,. r.f iti/. n,..il u-Mi'lil lu:ivmir in the nne or poetess to combine the imagination of beat tiful though not existing things with the harmt ny of metre, tinder the music ofwhicii its ineot sistcncy with experience might be concealed, an its reader lulled into a dream of idealism, as fab and deceptive as that into which the inetaph) sit nl speculations of Berkley led him and h followers. My present topics can convenient! be subdivided; and without naming the mm ber of these subdivisions, of the rest of which may treat at some future time, I will now e: amine the most important of all; The relatio of (he rich to the poor, or the dependence of laic upon capital, and capital upon lubor. Wealth, (which is capital) when properly it vested, affords comfort to its possessor, and is blessing to humanity. Wealth will increase ui dor proper management, and every increase lay the groundwork of a perpetual annual profit, tic only to the saver himself, but likewise to tlio.' whose industry is set in motion by this newitci of capital. On litis account Adam Smith likct the man, who by frugality increases his cnpit; in a single instance, and thereby makes it mot productive, to the constructor of alms-house, i which the poor are fed and clothed on the pre ducts of his savings. Smith's remark accord with the good sense of mankind. The possos.se nfonnif-.l u liicli l>o li.-is to-..Ktnblr invested. bent (its n ?t only himself by the constant accession made to it, but also those by whom it is ttsei and bv the application of whose labor its inoreais brought about. His workmen are throng him enabled to support themselves and thci families. They are secured against all want, an comfort and plenty attend their labor. Sou inspiring must be the scene to a man of a nobl heart, when ho witnesses the hum of industn the song of joy, and the smile of contentment, t which liis wealth has given rise. And gratefi should the poor laborer be, tfho, when in wan of means to put his labor and skill into profit: ble exercise, finds in this rich man's factory th employment lie is in search of. lie is bvncfitci by the labor he bestows upon the capital of an other. This is one side of the picture. Let u now view the other. Is not capital .dso indebted to labor? Hoi does capital increase? IIow does a man j??> sessod of capital well invested become constant! more wealthy ? By the assistance of labor.This is the machine through which capital mm pass to enable it to increase. It is like the mil which by grinding the corn makes it the mot useful and valuable. These fund imontal princi pies, from which I will hereafter draw my ft" conclusive inferences, can be best illustrated b an example : Suppose a planter has 400 bale of raw cotton. lie has also 20,000 dollars it vested in a cotton-faetory. The bales of cotto and the factory are capital as well as gold or si ver dollars, since my readers know coin serve only the purpose of rendering the exchange < various commodities more convenient. In the? lie has the two essential requisites for the tabr cation of cotton goods. Even the agents of n; lure are under his control. What else does li want to convert his cotton into cloth, wljereb he might increase its value 300 per cent ? Ev dently labor. He must have hands to aUen ? i ;? . I :. < the factory. \\ ittioiu mom nis capuai cousin inif of raw cotton and mills, if not disputed ? otherwise, is dead and unproductive. Lain must co-operate with capital. ]?y enhancing il value the workmen earn their wages, and rendu the capital formerly dead beneficial to itsoum and to themselves. The value of the cotton i increased by the capital invested in the mill which again cannot effect the productive ehang they produce in the raw cotton, unless under ill supervision of the laborers. We have now a clear view of the dependanc of labor ui)On capital, and capital upon laboi A mutual relation exists between them. Tl: one is so dependent upon the other that tliei mutual co operation must be kept up, or but are rendered useless and unprofitable. One rt mark I may add that must dispose us to respet the capitalist, which is: that he by his econotn benefits the human race, and, as every beiicfac tor should be esteemed, is therefore entitled t our gratitude. The number of beings born yearly in tli world exceeds tbc sum of those that expirc.Kvcrv country is becoming more densely settJn notwithstanding the emigration to unsettle parts. Capital is the great prop that mustsu] port the structure, and the increase of capitalist be coincident with the increase of people unless their wants will not he satisfied, an famine will sweep them from the world. Then fore policy advises, and wisdom suggests, that man of wealth should be esteemed above the hi borer, since this is a most effectual means of ii ilucing the latter to strive to make himself equa lv important and respected, which lie will attai hv the accumulation of wealth, an essential n piisitc to the world's welfare. This then is tli only philosophical claim that a man of wcaltl has to greatness. I know greatness doosatten (lie possession of property and riches; but th ipiestiou is now asked : What is the ju-tiee il. ) tli,. croimd uiioii which it stands ? In (hi mutual dependence wo sea n wise dispmisatio improvidence. All cannot become rich. I'i the jioor depend fur support upon the churitj id'the rich, (?od .alone, could toll to what aire cities and cruelties it might lead. Not that mean to insinuate that the rich are rendcre cruel by their riches; but all must know th weakness of human nature, which, wln-u posses ?ed of unlimited power, will crown an evil dee mice unfortunately committed with another, an this with another; endeavoring by a loin; list < crimes to shield itself from deserving puiielnneni In all tjod's works we sec checks and hindrance!

May it ! 1 learn the poor, dissatisfied with their condition, \ )- and clamorous against the ease and superabun-1 d dance of the rich, to rest contented with their 1 lot, since such is the design of our maker ; may j is it learn them to persevere in accumulating their I 1- little sums, which in course of time mav "from y little streams into large rivers flow;" and may j ii if l-'-.>rn tlimn tlmf tlwir Conrlifir>n is Pnn-illi- nn. - - i j *" ; i- bio, though not as much respected, as that of d their employers, and especially that, by the law " of nature they deserve a due recompense for their e labor, and resjMCt from their superiors, le Camden, S.

't '' Respecting tick Sabbath.?We have al,c ready noticed that some of the New York pa1 pers had made the suggestion to open the Clirystal Palace on Sunday. The suggestion does not seem to receive much fi.vor, and the > authorities, or those who have the control of j the matter, we tiu>t will follow the example | !' set in England in relation to the new Palace I" there. A strong attempt was made to keep j. that open on the Sahhatli, Inn with all the in1 fine lie o ol" the press, whi'li was employed very largely in its liivor, and of large public meet- ! ings, the nunihcr ol" petitioners in favor of this new form of Sahhatli desecration was only 12,000. while those who petitioned against it, ex: reeded 120,000.

' Meeting of Gkand Division S. ofT.?The Grand Division S. of T. of this State met at this place on Thursday last, and continued their sessions for two days. We are not apprised th.it nnv thin'" was done, of uhich we should J ? ?0 - - - ' - ? ~ make mention. On Ft id ay a very interesting public meeting was held in the Methodist Church. Severalof the neighboring divisions with a respectable number ot Cadets of Temperance appeared in procession, presenting quite an Imposing array. They were unfortunate in failing to secure the attendance of any of the speakers who had been invited, but fortunate in finding among those present several who were prompt to meet the emergency. Very enteitaining addresses were made by Messrs. Kennedy and Deilay, of Camden, by Dr. R. E. VVvlie, of Lancaster, and by J. il Gaston of this District. A very "large audience was present, and thespeakers were sue cessful in sustaining the interest of the somewhat lengthy proceedings, without any indications of weariness on the part of the listener*. This we consider a compliment, when it is reflected that their theme was the oft-told tale of Intemperance and its evils. We were gratified to hear the fact stated by Mr. DeHay, that Chester District is now the " Banner District" among the Sons, there be ing already Six Divi-ions within its limits, in prosperous existence, and yet others about co be organized. The most beneficial result* have followed their efforts. Palmetto Standard. ^ M akine Memoranda of Lightning.?Thunder aud lightning storms, the present year, have been fearfully active on the sea, as well as on the land. Two ships and their cargoes, and also a sloop, have bedh wholly destroyed by lightning, and a ship loaded with cotton set on fire, and narrowly escaped destruction. There are, doubles, many vessels destroyed by the lightning that go down in the deep, and are heard ot'no more. The New York Herald gives a list of twenty four vessels which have been struck by lightning during the present year, and all more or less injured. ~lt is said that in no in>tance has there been loss of life in a building or vessel provided witlf metallic lightning conductors, while iron ships, iron buildings, steamers and steamboats, all afford protection against lightning, and there is not to be found a case of loss of life by lightning in an iron ship, iron building, steamer or steam, lam t.

On account of the peculiar'situation of Phillis, who was also tried, and sentenced to be huugat the same time, a respite has been gran ted her by the Governor until .April next. Lancaster Ledger 3d inst. Strange Custom.?A most extraordinary custom prevails among the Vizres, a powerful ^ tribe, occupying an extensive district in Cubal, among the mountains between Persia-and India. It is, in fact, a female prerogative that has no parallel among any other people upon the earth, in t he habit of considering the natural order of things?the women choose their husbands, and not the husbands their wives. If a woman be pleased with a man,-she sends the drummer of the cniup to pin a handkerchief to his cap, with a pin which she used to fasten her hair. The drummer watches his opportu uit.?, and dn?s this in public naming the woman, and the man is obliged to marry her if he can pay her price to her father.. A new trade in slaves is referred to by a Ilavanna letter writer, who says that the Indians nf Yucatan are carried into Cuba to be sold to servitude. The British Government has discovered the agent in the business, andjiad him arrested. On the person of lhis/4^nt were found the terms of agreement with lire Havana dealer, showing that $25 was to be paid tor cveryi male adult Indian, and women and children in proportion. Santa Anna, it is further stated, has made a peremptory demand upon Gen. Cunedo for the immediate liberation and restoration of the Kidnapped Indians. The Mormons seem gifted with the art of getting into trouble. Recently two boats loadI'd with Mormors, went from Bever Island, Lake Michigan, to Pine River settlement, on the Mitchigau shore, with the sheif^ of the county, to summon, as they say, a jury to attend the c<>urt at Bever Island, which is the shire town of the new county, in that vicinity.. They did thi<, they say, that there might be , o hers than Mormons on the jury. But the inhabitants of pine river d.d' not regard the visit as thus harmless in its character, and drove the Mormons from the settlement, and followed them down the river into Grand Traverse Bay, filing upoo them and wounding a number quite seriously. The fugitives were finally rescued from destruction by being taken on board a vessel which providentially lay becalmed in the bay.? Chus. Courier. Stamped Envelopes.?The Post Office Department has recently decided that a stamp "cut from the INesbitt enveloped ami pasiea on another envelope does not entitle the letter to pa<s as paid. The Nesbitt stamp and envelopes must be used as a whole. A Goon Thought on Education.?The brief but beautiful passage occurs in a late artide Frank's Magazine: "Education does not commence with the al? > phabet. It begins with a mother's looks? with a father's nod of approbation or a sign of reproof?with a sister's gentle pressure of the hand, or a brother's noble act of forbearance ?with handfulls of flowers in green and daisy meadows?with bird's nests admired but not touched?with creeping ants, and almost imperceptible emincts?with humming bees and glass bee hives ? with pleasant walks in shady lanes?and with thoughts directed in sweet ninl 1/1twlli* .int I words to nature to acts of benevolence, to deeds of virtue, and to the sense of all good, to God himself. o 7 He that walks only by the light of Nature, walks in darkness.
