TO THE HONORABLE INTEND ANT A Is ' WARDENS: Gentlemen,?It is well known to all of yon th _ during the summer months, many of us are compel! to got water at a considerable distance from < dwellings, owing to the difference in the quality our wells; Which, together with the impossibility keeping it cool for any length of time, requires f quent calls for a fresh supply, which during the sb' nights under the present guard regulation', will ten render necessary the inconvenience of furni ing a pass for that purpose. This being the case becomes desirable that some change as to the ti of ringing the Bell should be made. I would, the fore, respectfully suggest the propriety of suspei ing it until 10 o'eloek, beginning on the first of M and ending on the first of October. Such a char in the municipal regulation of our town, will, I hi _ no doubt, meet the entire approbation of all w continue here the year roand. W A COLD WATER MAN For the Camden Journal. Mr. Editor: Allow mo through the medium jour paper, to make a few suggestions in re tion to the approaching election for town o/Ecero. As it is generally understood that all tho present cumbents decline a re-election, would it not be w to select such persons whose character for busim would be a sure guarantee that they will act rati for the interest of the town than the mere name being elected to tho important trust. There is great deal of work to be done, and the fund* bei\ in the Treatury, wo bavo a right to expect its p< to nuance. r T .. Bro*d Street needs culverting from DcKalb, nort similar to that portion recently finished at the c pense of a private citizen. Sutledge Street, co and west, and DeKalb west, require an expenditu of several, hundred dollars; other streets, which havo not at present in my view, also claim a share attention. Let us then go for measures rather the - - -? L men; and bestow our rotes on sucn, ana sucu uui as will work for our interest. TAX TAYER. The following Ticket for Intendant an Wardens, will be supported, at the ensi ing election, b) , The Citizens. J. M. DESAUSSURE, Intendant. JOHN ROSSER, JAMES DUNLAf C. H. DAVIS, W. J. GERALD, Wai dens. A gentleman who passed through thi place from Washington, two or thre days since, stated that a personal diilicul ty had occored in the Senate between Mi Clay, of Ky, and Mr. King, of Ala.Mr. King made an improper and oflensiv reference to Mr. Clay. Mr. Clay retori ed. Mr.. King thereupon wrote a cha lengc and sent to Mr. Clay by Mr. Linr in open Senate. Mr. Clay accepted, an '--'u tvprp <nnn taken rharo uum goillivm. .. - ? of by the police, and bound over, wit their seconds, to keep the peace. Tit question under discussion at the time wo the motion to dismiss Blair &. Rives The affair caused extractdinary excite me hi in the Senate.?Chcraw Gazette. We are happy to learn, by recent advices froi Washington City, that the difficulty, between M Kins of Alabama and Mr. Clay of Kentucky, n forred to above, has boon amicably and honorably at justed. A lad named James Thomas Husband: an apprentice in this office, and a son r Jas. Husbands of Darlington, was drowr ed on Saturday last. After getting throng with his work, he went down with some ( his associates to see the river, and geliin into a canoe for amusement, he fell 01 and was drowned. He was 17 years < age, an active sprightly lad, of good prorr ise, and possessing some very amiabl traits.?lb. OPERATION FOR STRATISMUS 01 SQUINTING. "We saw a liuic girl, a tew weeKs sinct whose eye had been operated on by Di Wells, of Columbia, a few minutes be fore we saw her, for squinting, but eve in t.bat,short time, after the operation, th defect was entirely removed, and now w doubt if any one, except by a minute ex amination, could tell which eye had bee defective. Having expressed a desire to witness an operation of the kind, Dr. Wells pr litely favored us with an opportunity ft doing'io," on Thursday last. The subjet was a young lady about eighteen, or nint teen, one of whose eyes was so distortei as apparently to took directly across th other, the pupil being almost buried i the inner angle of the eye. It was or of the worst cases of squinting, or as u should call it, cross-eye, we have ev< seen. Dr. W. proceeded to divide the intern; rectus muscle, the unnatural contractic of which produces this obliquity of t! eye, and the division of which in tl other case we noticed, gave immedia relief. In this instance however it d not afford the expected relief: Dr. \ then instituted a search to discover tl cause, and found that there were two di tinct recti muscles?an unusual thing the mechanism of the eye?after dividii the second muscle, the eye became p< fcctly straight?at least entirely lost t! original defect. The eye will of cour turn slightly out, for a short time, un the muscle has again become attached the ball, farther back, and which will gi the eye its full and natural motion. To satisfy ourself whether the ultima success of the operation would prove complete as it appeared at first, we call on the young lady the Momlay after, ai found that the eye had not the slightc inward tendency. We have felt interested in givipga sore what minute dettiil of these case?, as some rD of our readers may be Buffering under this distortion of the eyes, and it may'induee at, some of them to seek relief, by means of led! this operation, by no means painful, and wr j which certainly promises as great certainof | ty of success as any surgical operation ofj can, as is evident, from the fact that Dr. re- i Dieffenbach of Berlin, who seems 10 ort' have been the first operator rn this case, of. has operated on about three hundred with ih. I success. The operation itaelf is very simtit'plc? requiring scarcely more than a minmc > ute, and according to the Medico Chirurro.' gical Review, from which we make a r,d. j short extract, no one need to fear any in[ny'jary from the operation; for the Editor lgc! remarks, mat it can be done by any one ive j who can operate at all. Wc would h0' therefore urge those laboring under this defect, to seek the appropriate remedy. Certainly no one need to hesitate, in entrusting an operation so simple, to the I hands of a Surgeon like Dr, Wklls, 0f whose attainments in medical science, la. skill and experience, place him deserved! ly among the first Surgeons in the United ^ States. ell I (Pve below, a short extract from the iB>! London Medico Chirurgica! Review, I which will serve to show our readers the ICt I # i # , , , n 0f interest this operation is exciting in ?u, ai rope, aa well as in this country. | The Editor remarks, "In ourexperi-i ^ encc we remember nothing like the rage for dividing one of the recti muscles.? h The surgical world is brim-full of it.? x' The first question one surgeon asks gt another when they meet is, "Have you ro ! performed this operation?" Any one who .1 lias not done it. is really an object of com of passion. He stftnds alone, and people m P?ty him, or wonder at him. Poor Dr., Frantz, who introduced the operation into London, was soon buried amongst the shoal of operators, and if he has since lifted his feeble voice, it has been lost (j amidst the din. As the proceeding may now be viewed as an established one of approved benefit, of wide utility and ofsucli easy execution, as to admit of any surgeon's effecting it; >( as every one in fact, who can operate at . all, ought to be able to operate here, we shall bring together some of the facts, or the suggestions that have lately appeared 9 in connexion with it," <kc. e Temperance Advocate. I- * r. A Merited Compliment.?The "Ma_ disonian" of the 4th instant, contains the e following: [. " The Vice President of the United |. States took leave of the Senate, as the presiding officer of that body, on Tuesday d evening, in a very appropriate ami feele ing address. Mr. Maugum of North Caro|, lina moved a Resolution of thanks to c him, for the dignity and impartiality with lS which he had presided over the delibera5. tiona of the Senate, Mr. Clay, of Ken .. tucky seconded the Resolution; and both Senators took occasion 'to speak in the n highest terms of the kindness of -heart. r< and excellence of character, and periect c. impartiality, which had marked the whole course of Col. Johnson in his intercourse with the Senate." ? MARRIED?On Thursday evening last, by the Rev.
