For the benefit of our country friends in this section, we would say, that the demand for the article is good, the supply moderate, and prices ranging from 6 1-2 to 8 -cents, according to To Pareut* arid Guardians. We are requested by tbe agent of the Camden Depot, Mr. J ones, to say to ' parents and guardians who are in the habit of giving unlimited sway to their children and wards, that tl^re is great danger in leaping on the platform of the cars, whilst in motion, either when arriving, or departing, and hope that, in future, due precaution may be taken. Many accidents of a most serious nature have occur red from like imprudence, and we hope that this warning may be duly considered by all interested parties. Blackberries in Bay. On last eveninur we were the favored roeir?. v v ? r icnt of a basket of most delicious blackberries, presented by the indefatigable and gentlemanly proprietor of the DeKalb House, Mr. J. W. Rodger8, for which he has our many thanks. Of course our readers will not be at all surprised at hearing of his having blackberries of native growth so early iu the season, as those who have been his guests, and their name is legion, will readily accord to him the credit of having on his table, not only the first of the season, but the best that the market at home or abroad affords of every pahtable viand. ncwi or me week. Among the most important news is the victory of Gen. Jackson in Western Virginia, over Bawxs, rooting bis army, taking many prisoners, cannon, stores and provisions. With becoming modesty the gallant General? known as Stonewall?in his despatch to Adjutant General Cooper, says, "during the last three days God has blessed our arms with brilliant successes. Our hope is he may be able to drive them all back, and carry the war into Yankee land?to give them a little taste nf what they have been doing in the South. There has been heavy skirmishing near Richmond, which was thought to be a prelude to a general engagement Nothing late from the neighborhood of Corinth. Booty and Beauty. This was the watchword under which the armed crusade upon the independence of the South was undertaken. These words were inscribed upon the Yankee banners at Manassas, and were repeated by Federal Commanders for the purpose of stimulating the reckless, the debauched and the vile, to enter the invading army. Notwithstanding this, it was not believed that a people, professing some claim to to the regard of civilized nations, would attempt to act up to so diabolical a motto, l&oir proclamations and orders have abstained from all allusion to th? tntioo* ~? ?? _ ^ . . -jvv. v..,u.i miWj wnen Benjamin F. Butler breaks the ice and reveals the hideous deformity of their purpose. This Federal officer, since his disgrace at Bethel, has found no opportunity for revenge until the fortunes of war made him military dictator at New Orleans. Even here he sees fit to exhibit that sentiment in its most infamous and cowardly form against a class whose feelings and persons even barbarians are taught ?o respect If this infamous and cowardly wretch shall attempt to execute his infernal purpose, that attempt will signalize the inauguration of the blackest and most inhuman warfare ? - - tnat ever darkened the annals of our race. The black flag in the hands of Southern men will gloom over the battle-field, and the last Federal soldier that polities our soil shall answer with his life for this barbarous decree.

Our Church Belts. Last week the bells of the Presbyterian, Episcopal, Methodist and Baptist Churches were all taken down, for the purpose of making cannon for the use of our brave defenders. The sounds of these bells, which has for many years summoned our people to the house of fiorl. will be heard no more. The delirrht ful harmony they sent forih every Sabbath morning, and their merry peal, on occasions of rejoicing, as well the doleful knell as tolled at the funeral of departed friends, are hushed forever. What but the deepest and most intense interest in the great conflict in which we are engaged, conld induce a people to part with their bells, around which so many associations cluster. Wo wish they may bet when transformed from their present state, the means of dealing death and destruction to our enemies. Lot them know we arc terribly in earnest, in defence of our rights, against their wicked and wanton aggressions. From Virginia. Richmond, May 28.?The following despatch was received to-day by Gov.

The banks, in consequence of the foregoing order, give uotice to their depositors to withdraw their deposits of Confederate notes, prior to the 27tb, else they will be held at their own risk. This is the protection to private property so profusely promised. We are glad of it, however. We are rejoiced that Picayune was sent to govern the Southern emporium. He is just the man above all others to teach our people important lessons, which it is necessary in the working out of the grand scheme of independence they should learn. He is a splendid teacher, and we nreanme "M.?w i? T _ j v> vucaiis Hits made fine progress in the alphabet of liberty.

The War in Western Virginia.?Our partizan rangers and guerrilleros are doing good service in Trans Alleghany, Virginia. Accounts are published in Yankee papers which show that, on the very banks of the Ohio, the Tories and Yankees are in continual dread of them. Burning Spring, Elizabeth and Palestine, according to these accounts, have been destroyed by them, and they 44 have been ravaging the country about Snonr^r" _ ? - [ ??Parkereburg is considered "in imminent danger." That town is "full of fugitives" escaping from the terrible rangers. A body of about six hundred are represented to be in that neighborhood, and the question is -asked by the astonished subjects of Carlisle, " Where the devil did they come from ?" This plea Bant intelligence comes from the New York Herald of the 16th. Taken in connection with the late victories of Jackson and Heth, the cause in Western Virginia bAS an upward look. The Selma, Ala., Reporter says that the 4 wheat crop in that section will be abundant, 1 ind the mill proprietors say that flour will soon be down to four dollars per sack. The danger from rust, which menaced that section, appears to be passing away. information bas beeh received here at another victory gained by Stonewall Jack so? at .front Royal, in Warren County. The ene?? wm routed and a number of prisoners and arms were captured. (Second Despatch.) The Examiner bus received the followingtelegram: "Jackson and Ewell bave taken Front Royal and Winchester. The victory is complete. Four thousand prisoners were taken, and more are still coming in. All the enemy's stores were taken at Winchester.

The Yankees, in their flight, tried to burn the town, but were unsuccessful, because two closely purged by our advance. At Front Royal, we captured the Yankee First Maryland (bogus) regiment, and the Yankee First Virginia (bogus) cavalry. At Winchester, we captured 2000 more prisoners. Our loss in killed and wouuded was about 100. Our forces arc still in pursuit of the enemy, who are completely routed. Situation of Affairs at Vlrksbnrg. Vick8burg, May 21.?The Federals have ordered the women and children to be removed from the city within twenty-four hours. Tho Mayor replied, asking an extension of the time to 8 o'clock Friday. Ten war vessels arc lying below. The Federal steamers Hartford and Brooklyn passed Natchez on their way up on Monday evening. (The Latest.) VICK8BURG, May 25.?All has been quiet here for the past few days. The enemy's fleet still lies below the city, waiting, probably, for reinforcements of mortar boats and transports; two vessels arrived to day and joined the flotilla. Our men are eager fo%the fight. Movements of Geu. Hurnside. We hear bnt little from the coast of North Camiina. The monotony in that quarter appears to be only enlivened by an occasional skirmish between the. pickets. It is reported that Burnside is making his Way slowly towards Murfresboro, and other positions in the vicinity of the Seaboard railroad, with a view to unite his forces with those of McClellan, or otherwise to co-opcrate with them in an attack on Richmond from the south side of James River. If this can be effected, Richmond will, probably, 1 : -- -li J-- -- li * * uc 111 vjtueu uh mi siues, auu uc placed ID a state of regular siege. The Washingron correspondent of the New York Herald writes as follows: "Fears begin to be expressed tliat Gen. Halleck may have to wage an unequal contest at Corinth, and that Gen. McClellan must fight a desperate battle at Richmond; yet the radieals insist that the war is at an end. Atone moment they are depressed by fears, and at another wild with schemes to confiscate property in States which have not yet been recovered." Good News.?The editor of ' the Jackson M%8si$?\ppian has seen a private letter, of perfect reliability, giving tbe gratifying intelligence that a Confederate steamer has arrived safely at a Southern port, with a large supply of blankets. Dowder and Enfield rifles. The nm?ntifir of guns will not fall short of 10,000 and 5000 carbines for horsemen, and a proportionate quantity of powder and other appliances. The steamer alluded to is said to have had a gay time in eluding the blockaders. Richmond in all Probability* Safe.?
