Tdr Two Editors Captured.?Stoneraan
reports that he captured two "rebel editors" in
his recent raid and sent their presses to Brownlow
as a Christmas gift. 'The two members of
the editorial corps, who were so unfortunate as
to fall in to the hands oUhe Yankee Philistines .

Sperry, of the Bristol Register, and Mr. Cole,

the respect.ve offices of those gentleman' were
destroyed, and it is'not improbable that they
themselves were captured at the same time;
It was bad enough to lose their property and
"their liberty, but for their presses to bo sent to
the vile ohr Ishmaelite Br.ownlow, was adding
intolerable insult to injury... '

Gen. Sherman is in town, which treats incident- !

a sentence that clang9 on manly ears with the
ring of a viking's' sword leaping from its scab-,
hard f "My idea is, that every young and middle
iged man ought, to be proud of the chance
to fig|?t for .the integrity of bis country.'* I,
would like to see all trade and commerce absolutely,

who can fight and won't, fight, ought td be
killed,or banished; and those who won't siip^

freshet fn this section of the country.. It can be said
in truth that we never have, after a residence '.of
sixteen yea re?the freshet of August -1852 being the.
most destructive, and covering s larger area of the low
lands "than had occurred for many years prior to that
date. 3o far we have been unable to learn tbe extent
of damage, but will no doubt furnish our readers-with
some particulars -for Monday's paper.' Tbe water,'-fat
this time, is receding from trie hanks,, and-will hive
ebbed sufficient by this evening to permit,, planters and
others, residing on the other hide of the river, desirous
of communicating with Camden, to cross over.
lu consequence of the high water, we. are without
any hews from the coast?the wires being swamped,
Slid no connection made fb favor of the Charleston or
Augustia mails. The Congaree river bridge and" the
trestle above being inundated, no Charleston papers
