The War in
Tlie Steamship Africa lirfs-?arrived at Xev
York from Liverpool, as will lie soon by refer
iiiy to (lie telegraphic head, but as yet we havi
no additional news of importance relative t<
the serious state of affairs in China, a few dc
tails of which are recounted in tire correspondence
of thb London Times, as published ii
? another column. l'Yorn the information received
by the Alps, it would seem that this wa
4 does trot iec?iu* the sanction of the* Britisl
JK' people. In the Hob so of Conimons, Mr
' Cobden's motion condemning the war wa:
? carried against the ministry by a majority o
?16. This is a rebuke, whether right or wrung
which the ministry will have to respect, am
the ofders will nrobablv lie that Admiral Sev
? incur must stop bombarding and burning citie:
down, because the government of Chiua refuse)
to rtllow !b38Vereiguty and its laws to he treat
red with irrespcct by foreigners. Sovereignty i.indispensable
ko national existence, and every
Sovereign nation is the best judge of what h
v necessary to its own protection and its owi
prosperity. The British people Jbegin^ tc
entertain the same notion, and do not seem
t?Tid"9lsposed to believe in the virtues o!
, gunpowder as a civil iter *or promoter of Chris
tianily, nor are they wiling to be invt . h:
^,.v in continual and expensive warfare with
' . nations, Qt the mere discretion of a cuft*?nan
- der of the British fleet.. V
This unnecessary and unauthorized war aga/
in*? the GfiftiR^-has toused the spirit and ha
/ ? tred--of tlje nation against all the foreign resi
dents, and they have been obligeJ to arm
themselves against assassination., so infuriat?
ed have the people become. This feeling lia>
extended even fat > the Malay settlements, as
fat* as Singapore, belonging to the British, in
v - the Southeaster 1 extremity of Asia, and must
*" necessarily affect the interests of British commerce-and
trade in that quarter of the world,
r - ' is much easier to set mischief in operation
t than it is to stop its progress, and fro in the
determination of the Chinese to destroy their
owu cities rather than submit to tire exactions
of strangers, it is likely that the cost of the
* present war to England will be something more

TnR National Hotel Epidemic.?The
mysterious sickness which has prevailed at the

satisfactory explanation ns to its cause, yet
\ v given, in a communication appearing in the

trfco writes over the signature of ''Meidicus.
\ . says:
"ily own explanation or theory (diffidently
V. .expressed) is that the disease was caused by a
- A - poisonous miasm, generated in and raising
N^frora the sewers, cespools, and sinks about the
Poorer parts of the house. A large public
%wer runs dowu Sixth street, and receives all
^ w* tlK^waste and filtb from two large hotels, s^me

Editorial Visit.
Wo are gratified to have received a call from W.
B. McCreight, Esq., the local .editor of that most excellent
and valuable paper, the Charleston ITtrcury.?*
Mr. McCreight, we are glad to see, has nearly recovered
from the recent garoting which he received in
Charleston, and his visit to onr sanctum yesterday,
revived pleasant recollections of 41 auld lang syne."?
He has been connected with the Press for several
years, and is a graceful and easy writer; bis letters
from Washington, when a correspondent for onr paper
exhibited much observation and good taste. We
trust that his visit to our town may prove plelisant
and profitable.
Uur wave x^tro.

with great pleasure,) that our worthy Chiel' Marshal,

1 the work of cleaning up, Ac., and it is important and
1 particularly desired that the citisens of Camden and
f vicinity should give their prompt and efficient co-operation,
by sending a sufficient number of hands to
' enable Mr. Witherspoon to have the work properly
done.
' The respect paid to tho dead, it has often been
remarked, is a good criteriou by which to estimate
the character of tho livingwe should be careful in
this regard, lest we lose claim to the high character
J. wc have held in the estimation of others abroad for
hospitality and refinement.
Our Grave Yard has been too long neglected, ana
wc arc all sadly at fault in hnving allowed the "city
of the dead" to remain in such a state o(*neg!ect and
dilapidation. We are afraid if the above test was
' strictly applied to us now. that we might fall below
the standard. A stranger visiting our town, we fear,
I wnniii not l>e favorably imnrcssed. if he should judire
alone by our Cemetery. ?
f Let it be so no longer; we arc nil interested in this
i'I consecrated -r"f Mtitaaa lifi jjia rrmi in<> of our dearest
- *"<n"3 best friends. We owe it to the living as well as
| to the dead, that the silent homes of our departed
fathers and mothers should be honored by something
k more substantial than a few occasional tears shed

, to clean out and properly arrange our Grave Yard,
will not bo made in vain.
J JiKtee Withers and the Press.
We regret to seo that our esteemed friends of the
Charleston Courier, have aniinadvsrted so fiercely upon
j the charge 6f Judge Withers, nt the recent trial
| tween Dr. Gibbes. of the South Carolinian, and Mayor
j Arthur, of the Municipality^ Columbia,
j We thought the charge of Judge W. to the Jury on
that occasion, as we found it in the Carolinian, all that
! the most uncompromising latitudinalian of tho Press
s could desire, and, judg ng from that, as well as from
( our knowledge of his character, iptelligeuce, and sound
J judgment, we are forced to the conclusion that tho
s | charges of " tho wayward onslaught of Judge W. on
r theuowap.iper Press," contained in tho Courier of the
i 2Sth inst , is unkind and u'tigMierous, co say tho least
t of it, and must certainly have .prison from an entiro
e misapprehension, on the part of the writer, of the
Judge's language, and a total iguoranco of his true
sentiments. Judge Withers is a man of too much
t sagacity and intelligence to believe for a moment that
s the Press does moro harm than good; we believe as
r he does, and so ought every thinking man, that in
- mauy-eases, in this our day, the newspaper Press ia
j "an instrument rather of mischief than of good J1 but,
ii upon tlie whole, the country is infinitely better with
J it, than without it. Col. Jluxcy Gregg, in the defence
i of the case mentioned, stated as a general proposition,
- that the standard of the Tress in our country was
? lower than it ought to be, and that it was in many
^ cases the fruitful cause of mischief, and, excepting
~ the Tress of South Carolina, our country, thiongh its
>, insirumenla'ity, had been injured by the unlitilhlulness
and want of respectability and truthfulness on
the part yf thoso who had assumed to govern or direct
public sentiment through the channel of the
Progs. Jn the course of his charge to the Jury, Judgo
U Willierp took occasion to sustain the general proposi.
1' tiojj on ill- ''mischiefol the Tress," which Col. Gregg
had suggested. iia exhibited frequently in these days
,of politick intrigue ;i.jJ di.-lionesty, yartieulnrly tho

t?ov. Geary's Reason for Rcsiguln;
& .
St. Touts, March 17-?The Democrat publishes
:t statement, relative to the affairs tf
Kansas, given by Governor Geary. Front. i{
it appeais that the cause of Governor Geary!
r< sanation was t!io failure of President 1'iere
to fiiili! the pledges made at the time of lis
(Geary's) appointment. These pledges wee
to suppoit him with an army of militia at tie
expense of the. Public Treasury, if necessary;
but instead ?f receiving this aid, ho huS pad
$12,000 out of his own pocket?the Adtuittiit
rat ion having refused military support undir
the most urgent circumstances, while he wts
tl?warned bv the Judiciary of the Territory ii
every possible manner. The Governor states
that fifty men were under oath, from the da.
he entered the country till he left it, to as&avinale
liitn provided his ulilicial conduct did not
mi'ft their approbation.
lie regrfets the step ha has been obliged to
take, but fuels confident that bad the promised
assistance been rendered, be could have admit:
istered the affairs of the Territory in a manner
acceptable to honest settlers of both sides. Tlie
relation J.o the ojutiages committed by proslavery
men, he says one half has not yet been
told. He pronounces tbe murder of Huffunt hy
nays the most cold blooded uudutrocioiis affaii
ever witnessed. His version j.ff ^tbe^ Sherf^pl
"say?! however.' that "the "account published t?h
The Republican, over the signature of "Jonps,"
is a tissue of falsehood. The Governor'complains
bitterly of the obstruction and mutilation
of correspondence. He says the mail
bags are constantly opened, and all objection
able matter to or from him extracted. The
Governor thinks the establishment of a Slavery
constitution inevitable.
Governor Geary's farewell address fo the
people of Kansas is also published. It Is a
sketch of the Governor's administration, setting
forth the previous and present condition of the
Territory, and recounting t!ie difficulties and
embarrassments that have been thrown.in bis
way. lie says the great body of tht people
are conservative and law abiding people, and
that they arc willing to make sacrifices./bi
peace. The troubles in the territory, he continues,
have been occasioned by ambitious
schemers, with no special interest in the ten i
lory's welfare?who ncrer desired peace, and
who will not allow it to continue if they cai
prevent it.

Davis* Pain Killer. v
This wilt certify, that about four rears since, I
was attacked with hoarseness at tin- lungs, a hard
cbugh. ami raisin:; blood, xviih pain in the center
of my left breast; I was almost discouraged. I5nt
hearing what wonderful success friend Davis
met with in curing colds, cough*, pain in the
sides, &.( ., 1 was induced to give s I'ain Killer a
fair trial. I was then raising '' nd from two to
three times a day, and hail been about six weeks,
without cessation. I thd )wed the directions, and
to my satisfaction, my cough soon gave way, the
Wee.ling-ceased, my pain rein veil, and now'lam
enjoying a comfortable d< gree of It* al'.h: no pain
about me, no cough, no bleeding, and have a
good appetite, sleepsouml, and find my strength
gaining and my flesh also increasing; and now,
whether I live .long or not, I want everybody to
know what this invaluable medicine, through the
blessing of God, has don" for me. I have used
it with etjuafsuccess in my family for many other
complaints for which it is recommended, and
would most cheerfully recommend the above
medicine to those who have colds and coughs,
especially those of long standing?never be discouraged
and say vou cannot be cured, until you
have given Davis'Pain Killer a fair trial, as I
have done. RICIIARD S. I'F.CKM \M,
