SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 6, 1840.
TIIE RIVERS.
When our paper wont to press on Friday of last
weok, Iho Wuteroc was very high, and Rtill rising,
though at that time, wo had not heard of any of
the embankments having given way. During the
afternoon and night of Friday, however, the waters
continued to rise until all the low grounds wore completely
submerged, and the embankments of all the
plantations on tho river, as far as we have heard,
either broken or overflowed. Tho rivor was at its
highest point on Saturday morning, and wanted but
10 inches of boing as high as the froshet of August
1831, which was the highest we have ovor heard
of on the'Waterec. The Camden Bridge which was
carried awav in 1831. and after bein? rebuilt was
again swept off, but at what limo wo do not romcmber,
was reconstructed about two years since under
tho superintcudance of Capt. Vanherforo of Cho
raw, fortunately withstood the sweeping torrent.
The damage which has been sustained, not only by
the destmction of tho growing crop, but by washing
up of the plantations and the loss of stock is immense.
These losses, however, heavy as they arc, are
light in comparison to those suffered by our southern
noighbors. The rise in tho waters of the Congaroc {
and Savannah rivers, has been of the most unprecc- j
dented character. At Augusta and Hamburg tho
loss of property was immense. In the former we:
have heard it estimated at a million of dollars, and
not less than half that sum in Hamburg, besides |
the damages on the plantations on tho river. At j
Augusta the water rose to the height of 10 feet in !
some of tho streets, and there were none which
woro not entirely under water. Boats were used in
all the principle streets for tho purpose of saving
-i i. ir 1 ii.. a l I
persons ana propcrvy. ivi uunourj, ute uuuu ?ao
p.vsn more extensive, the water rising and filling the j
lower stories of nearly every building in tho town. ,
jt is a gratifying fact, that amidst all the loss and j
distress, caused bv this disastrous visitation, that in i
neither Hamburg or Augusta, was there any lives
lost.
Thunder Storm.?We were visited on Wednesday
last, with a severe thunder storm, during which we
understand, a nogt> fellow, belonging to Col. Cues,
nut, was i nstautly killed, together with the mule
with which he was ploughing. It was not raining
at the time, and he was in the open field. Two other
follows were knocked down senseless at the same
moment, but are recovering.
ITT A writer i:t the Charleston Courier of tho 2nd
inst. over the signature of a Republican, extracts the
following passage from the address adopted at the
late public meeting at this place:
4 This violent contest, began in IS2S,
was brought to a close in 1831. All who
claim aa interest in the welfare of the
Stale could not but rejoice at the resto-J
! ? i : i '
maim wi peace nun uiuuu, unu a-ci gnuc-|
f<!l to those whoso wisdom, pruJcnce and ,
patriotism achieved this happy event."
Upon which lie makes the subjoinc-bcommcntary: (
"We propose, Messrs Editors, with your
permission, a review of the position assumed
in the extract we have made from the
address of the Camden meeting. In doing
so, wo shall be governed by fact and fair
inferences. It is asserted that "this violent
contest began in 1S2S." Of course
reference is now made to the Tariffbill that
passed Congress that year?the biD of
"abominations' as it was then termed.?
Mr. Van Buren was at that time Senator of
the United States, and gave that bill the
sanction of his vote.
"We have shewn that if a "violent con.,
tesl began in 1829,'* that Mr. Van Buren
is to be held responsible, so tar as his vote
and influence went, in bringing about that
"contest.', It "was however, brought to a
close in 1834." Who is entitled to our
gratitude ror their (his) "wisdom, prudence j
and patriotism" in achieving so happy an j
eveut? The very man who received the |
contemptuous sneers of those who compo-1
scd the Camden meeting! Yes, the great'
"pacificator" of the Missouri question and
of tiie Tariff, is viUifed, and he who-actcd
so conspicuous a part in producing those
crises, which came near severing this Union,
is held up as a model of political perfection,
and that, too, .by those who hat! a 1
personal interest in both of those subjects!
O temporal O mores!"
Tacro must bo something inherently bad in an7 j
.1?. ? :? ? .....t. ?< I
cjusu uiui ruquirua iu susuuu 1i, tu muv.i vi mwi^.
rcEcntation ami perversion, as is used in relation to
the address of the Camden Meeting. It was only last
week wo published a communication exposing the
perversions of a writer in the Courier over the signature
of a "Union Man,'' and new we have another, j
who presumes yet more, on the ignorance of his rca-1
ilers. This commentator says: "It is asserted that
"//lis violent contest began in 1858." Of courso refcrenco
is made to the Tariff bill that passed Congress
that year," Now, it is impossible for the writer
to imagine, for a moment; thr t any one who reads
tiic whole address will suppose that any reference is
had to the "Tariff bill" at all, except incidentally.?
The sontenco immediately preceding the one which
this writer makes his text is as follows: "Every good
citizen recalls with pain, the memory of our internal
differences, threatening our communities with deep
convulsions and fraternal bloodshod." The words
' internal differences," cvidontly referring to tho party
warfare then raging between tho Union Men and
Nulliliare, 011 the subioct of tho Oath of Allegiance
or Test Oath. This writer goes on to say, "It was
however, brought to a close in 1831." Who is on-1
titled to our gratitude for thoir (his) "wisdom pru-;
dcnce and patriotism" in achieving so happy an
event? The very man who received ihc contemptuous
sneers of the Camden Mocting'." In this sentcnce
allusion is made to Henry Clky, we suppose;
and a more disingenuous perversion wo have never
yet seen attempted to be palmed on an intelligent
people. What did Henry Clay have to do with the
compromise effected in this State jn 1831? Is it not
evident to every one that the contest referred to was
/
in relation to the Amendment to the Constitution contlining
the Oath of Allegiance? The following paragraph
from the address, which follows, immediately,
the text of our commentator, will be sufficient to
provo this:?
"When, in 1834, a compromise seemed
almost desperate, and the Union Party
looking with certainty to the amendment
of the Constitution ctmtainigg the oath of
allegiance, were prepared for extremities;
when their adversaries believing the crisis
had arrived, and assumed an attitude of
hostility, which left but a single step to
bring them in dire collision, the influence
of Col. R, with that of a lew of the leaders
of both parties, was actively and successfully
exerted to produce that accommodation,
which resulted in the celebrated report
of the Committee on Federal Relations,
and which was adopted with almost
perfect unanimity by both branches of the
Legislature, on the Oth of December, 1834.
This was the olive branch of peace which
restored a much needed quiet to our vexed
and agitated people."
The writor would make his readers believe that the
contest of which the address speaks, was that in
which the whole South was engaged, the Tar Iff
Question?and that the Compromise Tariff Bill of
1832, was the one alluded to, as having been effected
by Col. Riciurdson. Of course, nothing of this sort.
could have been intended, as Col. R, did not go to
Congress till after that oyent.

JUDGE COLQfriT'S ADDRESS.
We have extracted largely from this admirable
address to-day, particularly from that part of it in
which he gives the reasons why he cannot support
Gon. 1Iariuso.v for the Presidency. To our mind,
they are perfectly satisfactory, and must, we think,
prove so to every unprejudiced reader. In our next,
we shall give further extracts, embracing the grouuds
on which he is constrained to support Mr. Van Burgh,
and there, we think, will bo found equally conclusive.
We recommend tiie extracts to our readers.
Tirr. snnTfTPRN'F.R.
We beg the attention of our readers to the Frospectus
of this paper, which will be found on our first
page. The great principles which it will sustain,
must commend it to the patronage of the people, and
the ability of tho Editors to do justice to those principles,
together with tho low prico at which it is published,
should operate as additional inducements to
its wide dissemination.
New Paper.?We have received the first number
of a new paper published in Yorkville, in this State,
entitled the " Yorkville Compileredited and published
by John E. Grist, Esq. It is neutral in politics.
Large Fees.?The compensation received by
the Marshal of tho United States for the Southern
District of Mississippi, it is stated amounted to
eighty-seven thousand one hundred dollars.
The Florida Indians.?We bavo noticed recently
that these savages, seem to have commenced
their murders with renewed vigor. Thcro is scarcely

not bring accounts of the most outrageous and bar- j
barous murders. Is there no mode by which a pc.
riod can be put to this disastrous war?
FOJl THE CAMDEN JOURNAL.
Mr. Editor: Your correspondent, "Camden," is
right?it is emphatically the duty of every Republican
citizen, to come forward, and cause his moral
influence to be felt in the groat political contest now
agitating the Union.
The groat fundamental principle of Republican*
ism, EQUALITY?in its broadest sense?between
citizen and citizen, and pursuit and pursuit, is in
danger. The doctrines of '98 arc insidiously assailed?the
great Whig Army?Black-cockade FederalisTS-rccreant
Nullifiers?and disappointed deserters
from the ranks of the administration?have concentrated
the discordant elements of thoir power,?have
waved for the time, their conflicting creeds, and are
marching, as they affirm, to cortain victory?their
object power and plunder?their war cry "the spoils
or death."
They must l>c met?driven back?ranquishod.?

From the Georgetown American, 29/7* ult.
Our readers will find in our columns today,
the Address to the People of this
State, by a large meeting of our fellow
citizens had at Camden on the 9th ult.?
We are aware some dissatisfaction exists
here, as well as in some other parts of
the State with the manner or bringing out

V>UJ. IUUIIUiuowiii xu. nu uu i,,., u.,w.. .....
any impropriety cither as to the mode or
motive, can be justly charged* It has
been insinuated, that those who brought
out Col. R. have in vie* their own advantage.
If Judge Johnsdn and Colt,
Hammond, did not thrust themselves upon
public attention, their friends nominated
them, and why should not they, as well
as the supporters of Col. Richardson, be
charged with advancing private interests?
If individual interests have not been overlooked
by cither party?where is the wonder?
Politician arc now, what they have
ever been, and if the friends of the several
candidates were not influenced in offering
them to public consideration, by some motive
involving personal advancement or advantage?there,
would be the wonder, We
presume each candidate was satisfied with
the call upon him, or he would not have
suffered his name to go before the People,
Relieving that they all occupy tlis ,sam&
r *
/
position, As regards the jnotlres of Aose
who suggested them as proper persons to
fill the highest office in the girt of the
People, we think the only inquiry to be
made is?whose success will effect most
good? We believe Col. Hammond is deserving
of every respect as a private gentleman?but
the claim he may have?to the
high honor hia friends solicit for him, we
cannot* perceive. Judge Johnson is very
well placed. Let him continue, where he
can as effcctually^serre the State asif he
were GovCfifor. When he wishes to retire
from the public service, we think he
can do so as digrfifiedly, from an office
held during-, pleasure, a* from one out of
which he must go, whether he will it, or
not. Men, we care nothing about, but
we have much regard for the effect of
measures. The election of either Col.
Hammond, or Judge Johnson will dissipate
or disturb the harmony we are anxious
to see cultivated and confirmed,
throughout the - State. The friends of
Co). Richardson declare their objects are,
the healing of old wounds?banishment
- s J l_
ol party differences trora social ana puolie
life, and by amalgamation of the aid
Nullification and Union parties, to form
one. Believing as we do, that the electi6n
of Col. Richardson tends clearly to
the attainment of this desideratum, we do
not hesitate to say his ought to be the successful
Candidate. We entreat all our
readers, every voter in this section of the
State, whetlver Nullifier or Unionst, to
lay aside his jealousy of individuals, and
look at the question as it is presented to
him. The union of the parties which a
very few years ago divided the State was
thought imperfect. The Nullifiers offered
as the "Olive Branch" of reconciliation
and peace, to make a Union man Governor.
The proposition was acceded to,
and Col. Richardson was named. We
believe the offer was made and accepted
by the immediate actors, under a perfect
confidence that both parties would cheerfully
ratify it. Before we scan motives too
closely, we should be sure, our own, are
always unquestionable. We have not
stonned to inouire into the secret views
ii ? - - i
of the friends of either candidate, and
shall not, for at best we could but guess
them, if any such they hare. We pass
the question by and look to the result?
the end aimed at?the establishment of?
Harmony withiri our borders, on ,an enduring
basis?the re-union of our People.
This is the view we think every Nullifier,
every Union man, every good Citizen
should take. The offer to elect a Union
man governor, was intended and accepted
as a compromise of past differences.
Let both parties carry it out in good faith,
and by electing Col. Richardson affix, a
Seal to the Bond of Union. The Camden
Address, is am able exposition of Col
Richardson's claims to the support of both
parlies. Wc commend ft rathe-unbiassed
examination ol every citizen, under the
conviction an impartial judgment will arrive
at our conclusion?that Col. Richard

Aiken, S. C. May 25.
Gpntlcm.cn: We hasten to lay before you
the particulars of an affair* tragical and
somewhat mysterious io its nature, that
occurred this morning io our village.
The d welling of a respectable citizen of
this place during the atifeence of all its in*
mates, with the exception of two little
girls, .was entered by an individual unknown
to this community, who, having
satisfied himself respecting the occupation
and wealth of its owner, was about departing,
when the lady of the house returned,
and finding a strange man on the premises,
and (he little girls in tears, from fright,
demanded the business of the intruder,
and insisted on his immedietely leaving
the place. This the ruffian now seemed to
feel no inclination to do, and on being
spoken to rather harshly in regard to his
indecorous and unprincipled conduct, deliberately
drew from his pocket a pistol,
and with an oath that he would kill her,
fired, but fortunately without effect. The
lady then retreated into the house for safely,
and an old and infirm gentleman, her
grandfather, coming up at the lime, the
fellow was by him prevailed upon to leave
the premises, not however, until he had
wrung from the old man a promise to
make no mention of the occurrence, at
least for some hours, thus affording him
time to escape.
Tiie fuots above stated, were, however,
very soon made public by the daughter,
and a number of our citizens, on being
apprized of the affair, went in pursuit of
the coward, determining, if possible, to
bring him to punishment for his unprovoked
and dastardly assault upon a feeble
?i .i-/* 1?
uuu uciciiuciiaa
They soon succeeded in finding his
place of retreat, but found no small difficulty
in securing hi? person?he being provided
with a pair of large pistols, kept his
pursuers at bay, firing and reloading three
or four times, as they advanced upon him,
and was only taken after beirgshotin the
head by one of the party in pursuit. He
was then brought into the village and the
wound examined by a skilful physician, i
who pronounced it a fatal one. Being in-1
sensible, no information respecting his
character or place of residence could be
obtained from himself, and there were no
papers on his person, from which could be
gleaned any intelligence respecting who
he was, or what was his business or object
in visiting this section of countryt
We have thus given you a faithful and
unvarnished accourtt of this singular andj
tragical occurrence, And with the hope
that something further might be ascertained
in relation to this myttenws character,

?
WO will remark in addition to ike above
facts?that before being taken he stated
that be was the "son of Judge Sherman,!
of Connecticut,"?'was determined never
to be arrested alive, there being warrants
ont against him for crimes cbmmitted iu
Edgefield District. '
He is about 5 feet 5 inches in height,
dark complexion, black hair, very thin,
and neatly dressed. Had with him a good
quantity of amunilion, 2 pistols, a razor,
a horse halter and a large walking stick.
We have heard it intimated, that he pro*
bably is the.same individual who for some
time past has been committing extensive
robberies in our vicinity, and for whose
detection a large reward was lately offered
in the Edgefield Advertiser.

above, died during the night, of the wound
he received in the head.

THE GREAT N. O. LOTTERIES.
we neueve me exploded jjoueries men*
tioned below, are the samo whose long
Advertisement we refused to.publish sometime
ago?showing that the expense of
the Advertisement, as ordered in all the
papers in the.Union, and the British Provinces,
would be so immense, that if intended
to be paid for, the profits of the
lotteries, roust Le of the most extravagantly
gambling character. So far from regretting
the explosion ol these mischieviotis
concerns, we are satisfied it would
be a blessing to society, if all lotteries
were to break, with the loss of every dollar
invested by Ticket purchasers; as the
best mode of putting an entire stop to
such ultra-gambling, immoral, and corrupting
establishments. They are, in our
opinion, as far more mischievous to society.
than actual gaming houses, as "decent"
grog shops are more so than low
and vulgar ones. Who visits a gaming
table, till the mad passion for the vice,
has first been generated by lotteries, and
other decent and more insidious temptations??and
who can be induced to enter
a low "doggery," till he has become habituated
to drunkenness, in the fashiona
ble "Coffee Houses," "Confcctionaries,"
&cv whose attractive exteriors?"like
whited sepulcres, beautiful and seemly
without, but full of all uncleanness"?first
lured him within their treacherous walls?
Men never intend to become gamblers or
drunkards; or do become so at once: And
if you would check gambling or drunkenness,
strike at lotteries and initiatory
drinking bouses, and exclude games of
chance and intoxicating drinks from your
own families.
" The Real Estate Lotteries at New Orleans,
of which Bank's Arcade was the
prize, and Schmidt and Hamilton were
managers, have exploded. Louis Schmidt,
one of the managers, has given notice
through the New Orleans papers, that the
nlan has been abandoned, and that "beine
I ~ 9 w
harrossed by urgent applications for the
return of money, over which he has no
control, it being deposited in bank to the
credit of certain trustees, he has come to
the determination to throw his affairs into
Court."
A good many people hereabouts, who
hare been dreaming of owing the Arcade
and enjoying themselves in some private
way out of its $35,000 per annum (which
might be increased to $50,000 per annum]
would like to know something about thic
Court, and the chances of a dividend.?
Mobile Journal,
Tomato Wine.?Dr. Horace C. Gillette,
of East Windsor, informs us that he hat
succeeded in producing, from the juice ol
the Tomato, a liquor scarcely to be distin<
guished, in its appearance and flavor, from
some of the best species or pure wine, ai
the close of the last season, when it wai
becoming difficult longer to preserve the
ripened fruit from decay, he took a qtran
tity of Tomatoes, by may of experiment
and extracted the juice by simple pressure
until he had obtained two quarts. Tc
this, after having strained it and put it into
a glass bottle, be added two pounds ol
sugar?the common article known as molasses
sugar. It was then set aside and
left to go through the natural process ol
fermentation, and, being nut of sight, was
soon out of mind. On recurring to the experiment
a few days since, the result was
found as above stated.
If the medicinal propetlies of the To*
mato, which are now generally understood
to be valuable, are in no way impaired or
lost by this operation, the discovery of Dr.
! Gillette maybe of no small avantage to
medical practice; inasmuch as it renders
it practicable, with very little trouble or
expense, to retain the essential virtues of
this vegetable in a state of perfect preservation,
and ih a form most agreeable for
use by invalids.
Since the above was in type, Dr. Gillette
has presented a specimen of the new
article at our office. Though it may be
inferred from the foregoing account, yet it
may be well to ptate expressly, that no alcohol
has been added to assist in the preservation;
and that no such addition seems
to be necessary to prevent acetous fer'mentation,
towards which, scarcely the
I slightest tendency is discovered.
