Tli* aorprise which (liven utiffered is accounted for by tlie fact, that the wood* between Camden nnil llobktrk were bo deime that the movements ot troops could not bo discovered, and nil i he older cltlxans of Camden will recall wits s heavy forest. But tho troop* mov ed on the Kastern bide of the town, up Pine Tree, where tho forest was dense. 'I'hey string 4hev Amefhaui Jlne Kast of Lytttatnuvtrt^t, while tile jail was In the Houth-wMOern portion of the U>a\i?, and judging from tit*' open fields and from the old Held pines that have so long exit led there, the view must have been open nearly to ilobklrk. , Again, it has been our fortune to at * np the plno trees on forty acre* of Inud, just at the foot ot Ilobklrk, (he arena of~tlfo hottest strife. On our ground* and fields we have ex humed OM mttflket lwk*?nd barrels, any quantity of bullets, &o., and were sur prU^U to tlipl In tlie large and seemingly illet, and that had burled In It the balls &&??

The sites of the old Presbyterian church, occupied by BrltWi troop*, ami of the "t.hurch of England," need for ?tabling borvy, lire only known from the adjacent cemeteries which pious hands Juve yet preserved. The ii(e of the old UU Is entirely lost. After the British left Camden th*-rw was found in the Pres byterian Chureh yard a rough brown Mono un which whi rudely carved : ?'Anne, of Glasgow" ? this and nothing more. We have often lettued over this rude alone Mud pondered over tlie brief and somewhat mysterious record. Tra dition gives different statements. We think llie solution is very easy. Our people never placed such it stone there. If thev had It wonKI have lM*en known. ,l'vov "Anne of Glasgow," must have been a eamp-follower of higher or lower decree, nud probably the hiyhtr, the lower. Before theee art Idea arc concluded we will devote a chapter to the changed to pography of Camden. At present we thought it best to notice (lie feature* mentioned In connection wi'.ii the epoch Immediately under consideration, led thereto by tlie reflection thut changes are rapidly taktng place in these thing*, and* that in another 'generation, few will know, from memory, these places identified with these grnit events, They ought to be known and cherished, for it would be diflicnlt to esllimtie the influ ence which these surroundings, in the past. Imve hud upon the chivalry ami knightly bearing of our people. Every t rue soliller which Kershaw District has sent to the front in four succeeding wars ki?i which the gave freely ol her "best and truest," had drawn inspiration from these associations. These iutlueiices ought not to be allowed to die out. If we pre serve our ancient records, we thereby keep alive |x>werful incentives to be wor thy of that record. The great sacred past Is secure, and It is ours. The present and the future seem Insecure, dark, ho|>e less, worthless. We can best be prepared for all tin* vicissitudes of that future by proven lug faith with the past. (To bi Continued ) Everything is Confidential. AT Til K DELMONICO BAH.
