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.

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.

Clay, of Ky, and Mr. King, of Ala.Mr.
King made an improper and oflensiv
reference to Mr. Clay. Mr. Clay retori

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.

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."
