Communicated. VENTRILOQUISM. Dr. Rosenbu, is entertaining the good citiz ns of Camden with his cxlraordinniv Vei.triloquial Performances, which are executed in such a manner as to convince the hearer beyond all possibility of doubt, that he is, indeed, one of the precious few upon whom nature has bestowed this singular and amusing faculty, professed by many, and possessed by few. For the Journal. Mr. Editor, I ask the privilege, through medium nf vnnr excellent little paper, %MV J # . to call the attention of the Philosophers and learned men of the (lay, to a strange noise or rumbling in the elements on the fifteenth inst. It is a subjeet of tvonder, and in fact, of alarm, to many. I was, in company with a gentleman in the woods on that day, and in conversation at the time, when our attention was profoundly awakened, by sounds at first similar to a team running with a wagon but which soon changed to a prodigious roaring, which lasted near two minutes. It was about eleven in the forenoon.. I heard ii as distinctly as I ever heard thunder in ar approaching cloud-within a few miles.But it was a perfectly clear sky, the sur shone with unusual brilliancy, and mi 1 innlteii tviih nil tlve inten ailld^CIIIVMM * sity of pretty sirong vision, but could dc sern no unn?ual appearance in the heavens I have heard others say, however, tha they saw fire and some contend that tin earth and houses shook but I realized nn thing of the kind on the hill where I stood The sound was in the South-West, and i * appeared to commence on the ground aiv ^ to assend, it was different from thuiule or an explosion of gunpowder. And i; fact it rs one of the wonders of the worl to * ! who heard it. I would like to hca I > the opinion *>f the learned on the subject, t before I express any myself. An Oit Man. t ?? ? FOR THE JOURNAL. Mr. Editor: With due respect for the present members of the Town CoitriciJ of Camden, I honestly believe it is cupable of much reform, and in support of this opinion, I call the attention of the good people of the town, to the condition of its trade and of the public highways loading to the city. In the first place, every inducement should be offered to draw to the place trade of every sort. This can be dohe, only, by giving fair prices for all kinds of produce, and selling goods (particularly articles of necessity,) at low rates?then we must have good roads for them to get here, to say nothing about trade. Have the present Council done their doty in regat :i to the roads? To satisfy the most friendly to it, (and truly we are not its enemy,) we would desire the people to look at the road to the Boat Yard?it is almost impassable, While the best material or remedy to make it good is on the spot. I mean only so far1 asi the limit of their authority reaches. The Commissioners of the Roads are responsible for all beyond. From this entrance into the town, we will next take therti to the road from Mr. Shannon's to Boundary Street?here, loaded wagonscan hardly getalong. Now. be pleased to go with tisto the way by the Tan Yard, out by McRa'sold Mills?how bad it is here, wc expect not a single individual of the Council knows. Then to the way from Pine Tree Creek bridge up to Meeting Street. This entrance into our City has been awful. I was credibly informed that it was no unusual thing for the wagons to bog, and have to be relieved of part of their loads to get along; and besides, the road along here, has been greatly injured, by the sheer neglect of the authorities in not having an old stump taken from the ditch, which thereby became filled nn nnd fnrced llie wnter frnm the ditch into tiie road, and taking off in its rapid and accumulated f >rce, all the sand which had been placed there at great expense and labor, for many, many years. This stump is still lit the ditch, and has been there since the freshet of last May. The road lo the Camden Bridge is tolerable-^bccause little used. Now, it is proposed that a new Ticket be formed, to let every part of the town and every interest be represented in its Council, viz: HENIlY R. COOK, for Intendant, the best we have had for many years. Mr. BURR, or W. J. GERALD, THOMAS J; ANCRUM, A. D. JONES, C. H. DAVIS, for Wardens. These gentlemen are active mer4 and ride about and have wagons, and interests in the place which do nol confine ihem to offices or desks. ANOTHER TAXPAYER. TO THE VOTERS OF THE TOWN OF CAMDEN, You will be called on, next Monday, to repair to the Market House and signify your choice for Intcndant and Wardens, for the ensuing year. Though those offices are humblo compared with others in your giflj still they have their importance, and should be filled by some who appreciate them, and who are closely identified with the general prosperity of the Town. The present Council, it is believed, has given entire satisfaction. They arc mostly young men in moderate circumstancos, depending on their own exertions to support their families, giving most of their spare time to yotir Service; however, it is fully asccr tained that two of thein decline a re-election, therej fofe, for the present you are done with these; the other three throw themselves before you for approbation or condemnation, and now, in all conscienco, with things as wo sec them, prosperous and harmonious, these men deserve your approval and should ask your utmost discretion in the selection of their future coadjutors, to attend to your Town affairs.? The Taxes, Licences, Guard, wells, ditches, streets, free negroes, &c. &c., require a good deal of attention, with more or less judgement and experience. It is scarcely possiblo for any ono to fully estimate tho anxieties of a Member of Town Council who I has not served himself, especially during the sickly season, a season of sariousness to every member of tho community. With gratitude to an all^wise Providence, it cannot have eBiaped your notice, that this place has been blessed with health for thb last several years, and though no human management can entirely ward off affliction, yet much precaution from exposure is expected, and a constant regard to publio comfort required of those who take upon thorn, selves the administration of affaire for the general good. As working men, who would servo you faithfully, and whose interests are common with your's, and must, consequently, prosper or suffer with you, I would respectfully propose the following Ticket for your considerations Fur lntcndant, JOHN M. DESAUSSURE. For Wardens. JOHN C. WEST, JAMES DUNLAP, JOHN ROSSER, F. MATHESON. t Mr Editor: The following ticket will i be supported by MANY \OTERS. For Intendant J. M.
