' Tucker's Cavalry. Our town has beeu somewhat euiiven* ed, during the past few days, by the appearance of TucKEtt's Squadron of Cavalry,,who haveJt>een camping on the su. burbs of Camden daring theirstuy. They are a fine gentlemanly body of meu, seirpis to be well disciplined and skilled in their drill, and is entitled to much credit for their courteous dcmeaner towards our citizens. The s<jnudroy is." composed of two full companies, um|er the command Capt. J. H. Tucker. . We.understand they are to comprise a jfcjrfe of Gen. Hampton's Legion, ami are to l?u\e for Virginia iu a few days,' where we have no uoubt they will prpvo as br.tve aud useful ou the tield of battle, as their noble appearance indicates. -o. a , We desire to call the attention .of the planters of Kershaw District to the stern realities of 'our conditiou. It is as , ? certain as that the Summer is approaching, that during the coming season, probably before Spring has well set in, the government will measure the contents of every corn crib in the district, and reduce them to the narrowest subsidence for the armies, ucgros, stock &c. The exigencies of the service will demand it, and none of us should complain, but before this is done, planters can ward off some of the suffering that will result, and ai the same time discharge, the high est duty. There is a great 'dciuuud for corn among the poor, other than soldiers families?let every planter unw open his grarleries and supply this demand to the extent of his capacity. It can now be doue conveniently, ami the poor even can pay as much as the government will allow. Whereas, if "corn is withheld'1 until the government has reduced us all to short rations, the poor will be Suffering helplessly at our doors. * We are well aware that our planters have been liberal: that com has been s->ld by them at half, aye, at a fifili of the prices prevalent in neighboring uis. i i: 1 .t . inuia-?u;ut mvziii; iiu\tr c:i >U4 jiiit*u niv needy until they have had t > buy at higher prices to supply their wants? that many may say that they have none to spare?and that this is true, estimating a full allowance until "corn eon us iti,'\but the gorcrnnicnt will " size your pile" with a different eye. So let each of us determine that we will cheerfully give up to the government what it may need, that it sdnil not take away corn which we " have withheld" from the poor. Prompt action iu this matter will prevent suffering, an l save hitter ai d unav iling regrets. The above remarks on this important matter a if the suggestions of an intelligent and successful planter of our district, and is a subject which demands prompt action on the part ut all those who may have a surplus of any of the various commodities calculated to .-ustaii: life. Pelay may be ruin', not only to themselves, but cause incalculable dis tless iu our inicl-t.

Forrest has ordered his men to behave as Well as possible, and in particular not to fire upon river steamers. This is supposed tu be fur the purpose of quieting our military, that they may retain possession of Western Kentucky. It is a very desirable place for them to remain^ particularly as absence of trade re.-trie- . timis has permitted-the country to be filled with all manner of supplies. If I understand matters rightly, Gov rniiient has not been idle, and large bodies of troops arc moving from two points for the purpose not only of clearing the country, but of capturing the whole force of tiie rebels.
