Hoaday next the 12th tart, bu bm fixed up^/w ??Memorial Day," to celebrate by all tha mcau we hare, the memory of these brare act, who Ml for a cause we lore and venerate. It wattw little to (km now, ' what we may do. They have their reward, their wan are ended. But It dee* matter a great'deal to thoee of ua who are left be hind^ aad to theae who are to come after u, that ?*the earliest floorers of Spring )he green est laurels that our woods may bring" should dock their graree in beart-felt appreciation of all they did for us. Death makes sacred and eaabahas {hearer the associations connected with that pact. In "hichtbey lirod and yielded their young lives to a sense of daty, and we bat honor ourselves, in honoring them. It ie some thing to got rid of the |elfl?h struggles of every day life, and make a sabbath of a day - like (bis^to gire our anbought tribute te n*he devotion o f theee brsre men, many of them poor and simple, who like sosae knight of an old^p time, went forth eimply to'do th%^r "deeof'r," their doty as our men would havo called it, without hope of adrsnoement or reward, cxcept that of honor. No soUUyry that ever lived excelled our oWd in this recognition of individual charac ter j?t no one then refas^e avail them f selvc? of the opportunity, that oar ladiss have so earnestly and beautifully offered them, lo j?y this tribute; bat for once re member, "that man does not lire by bread alone," that there is a higher plane of life, where we are not forced to breathe the sord id, if nrceAiury, atmosphere of oar working day existence, but by the noble associations of great and pious memories purify oar own souls. Some of our people have exhibited an apathy about this, that is to us surprising. It has arisen from a want ofthat recognition, of no much that lies beneath the surfkee' that makes life rich and worth the baring. Lives of great men all remind as We can make oar lires sublime, And departing, leave behind as. Footprints on the sands of time. HAY DAY IS CAMDEK. / <? The morning vac glorious, and bright v, through,the trta Pl?y?l the sunshine and dew-drops, the bird* and the breese, > While the landscape outstretching in lore 1 in?* lay On the Up of the year, Mt Uauttful May. How well theae line* describe the morn in^of the first day "of the month oftowers" iu Camden, those who wore present, and hare any appreciation of a day "so pure, eo bright?* bridal of the earth1 sky," can well attest.

At an early hour on the first of May the larger number of the scholars, with their friends, asseasbkod at the Methodlat Church, whence they proceeded in various vehielss to the grounda of Capt.

The pro e seat on, of soma In sen or twenty oonvsyanoes, was proceeded by a oompany af young gentlemen connected with the t'*Cnmdcn Cornet Band," (lisoewjning sweet ninaie as they rode through vthe street. For an hovr after the main body of pleasure-seekers had "gone a Maying." the street were occasionally enlivened by later visitors to the fm^i scene. It was a ' (ratifying toml*<nt la tie celebration of tk? flmt'day of the merry month of May, for her wershippers to realise the fart that, for one day at leaat, the differences of/miM were laid aside, and wherever the (asar*s eyes were ?turned naught hut peace, plenty.

Candidates are loesa i?f tp in almost countless array, end tke campaign may be considered as thirty be gun. 80 far, ex-attorney gsmial Chsm berlala aad ex-governor Scott are akead la tke race for tke nomination for gnkernatori al k on ore. U is understood aad believed that oae of tko two ssentieaed above vtU be tke ring nominee, bat which one Is uncer tain. Senator Eoktrisis la also alluded le as tke coming man, but k la doubtful if ke can be Induced to give up kie present posi tion for any gift wkick might be proffered. Attorney-general Melton staa<ls some chance, but Is not in tko Ibre-ground. Upon tke whole, it Is not yet dear who holds tke strongest attitude in tke direction of the gubernatorial chair, but It is concedcd on all sides that the nominee of the conven tion will not be saoh aa one as will be accept able to the masses of thoee who desire an honest admiaistratien,fwitbout regard to par ty foaling. In this connectioa, we subjoin an extract from a letter to tke Augusta Cb* Mihtliomafiti, written by a Columbia Repub lican. Here what he has to say : "The report has spread like wild-fire amongst tke Radicals, that Moses is making tkreats to turn ths State over to the Democ racy in the next election. Mosee declares that if he is defeated ia the convention, no Republican need hope to carry the Stats. Re appointing Democratic election commission er* In each of the Counties, a foir election oould easily h* held, which would result in a sweeping Democratic victory. Moses has a fine house, costly fbrniture, etc., but no money, and he has no Idea of going out of office now. A purse ef $80,000, raised by the Democracy and presented to him, would do the work. Why not buy a governor, who offers himself for sale, as well as a mule or a horee ? At all events, may of tko lending Radicals are becoming soared, and you need not be surprised if tke Legislature assembles to impeach him at an early day, as there was no adjournment mtu die, and tkey can assemble on atwo thirds null of both houses."
