\ fr . ?Aaa>ia$r8 APiill, 2, 1843. ET The Editor of the Journal will be in Sumterville, next week for the purpose of making collections, where he hopes to meet many of his friends, prepared to settle up their accounts. We are indebted to the Hon. J. C. Calhoun and the Hon. T. D. Sumter, for Gcveral speeches *nd nnhlic documents. CTThe President of the L. C. & C. Rail Road Company, in a letter to his friend in this place says: "The road as far as the. Richland depot, will be opened for the passage train on jlfonday next, the 4th inst The cars will leave the depot at 7 o'clock in the morning. We hope to see a stage from Camden on that morning." THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE. Since the organization of the Washington Temperance Society, the Constitution, and Pledge of which, we published in our paper of the 23d ult the course of temperance has been onward in our community. When the Society was organized, but little over two weeks since, there were not thirty-five names to tho pledge, there are now ninety names on the list Public meetings were held this week, on Tuesday evening at the Baptist Church, and on Wednesday evening at the Presbyterian Church, attended by larger congregations than we have ever seen assembled in Camden, on any similar occasion, and a deep interest seemed to be taken in the subject by all. Major McWillie President of the Society addressed the meeting at the Bap tist Church for about an hour, in one of the most powerful anil eloquent speeches, to which we have ever listened; the meeting at tTip Presbyterian church was addre.-sed by other members of the society. 13" The next regular meeting of the Washington Temperance Society will be held on Saturday the 9th iust- The members we hope will all attend. FROM TEXAS. The' Steam packet Neptune arrived at New Orleans on the 22.1 ult. bringing Texian papers to the 19:!>; by the following from the Houston Star, it will be seen that the number of Mexicans invading the country is not as large as represented by former advices. "The intelligence received contradicts the statement made by the Mexicans, wbo captured Capt. Ferguson at Goliad. They stated that three thousand men had gone to Bexar. Here xve have positive intelligence that it was only seven hundred. The force that captured Goliad amounted to only three hundred men, consequently the whole Mexican force at Goliad and Bexar does not exceed one thousand. We canM not but feel more confirmed in the belief, that these two detachments comprise the whole invading army now in Texas, and, we sincerely hope, the brave volunteers that have mustered in the West, will not turn back till they have captured or slain every Mexican that has placed a hostile foot on our soil." Goliad was re-taken by fifty Texians, and the great invading army, at the latest accounts, was travelling back to Mexico as fast as their legs would take them." The party which plundered San Antonio bad begun their retreat to the Rio Grande loaded with spoils and were pursued, by Gen. Burleson, at the head of 1,500 troops, with every prospect of overtaking them. The General intends to take up a portion in the enemy's country, and maintain it until driven back by force, which we hope will he a difficult task to accomplish. The greatest enthusiasm continues to prevail hroughout the whole country, and there is no wubt now, of the invasion of Mexico. The pople have for a longtime, been anxious for it ard the Government have at length come into heir views. President Houston in a letter vhich he had published declares that "war shall low be waged against Mexico, nor will we lay aside our arms, until we have secured the recogiition of our independence." in one of his official letters the President eays, "if troops should be raised at the call of tiis Government, prepared for conquest, they nay relv upon the fact, that they will be allowed fie privilege of (lie Texian banner to cross the Rio Grande and pursue conquest to the WALLS OF. MEXICO!!" The Galveston Advertiser says, the general enthusiasm of the community has been so great that it has extended even to the fair sex, and several of the good ladies of our city, have been industriously engaged, for the last few days, in moulding bulle's and making cartridges for the use of the army." Graham's Magazi-;l?The promptitude and regularity with which this beautiful 3/onthIy A??kes its appearance, should recommend it to the public favour; but this, is the least of its merits. The April number has been for a week in our tabV, ?jud is, as usual, rich and varied m us literary contents; and its embellishments | are of the most superb character. The "Re turn from Hawking" ami "The Wife," are ele-' ?ant specimens of Mezzotint, engravings by American Artists. In addition to these pictures, it has an embroidery pattern for tiie ladies, and two pages of music. . For the Camden Journal. Mr. Editor: The Louisville, Cincinnati and ^ Charleston Rail Road will be completed as far as the Richland depository in a very few days; and by the 15th day of April, at the latest, (we are advised,) the passenger and freight trains ? - " V . *r I Wl l -- WMWMIHl "in IB I ; will be running regularly to that point. By this operation* Camden will be brought within 31 or 32 miles of the Rail Road?and by the establish, inent of a line of public wagons and stages, our town will enjoy a communication with Charleston equal to that which Columbia has"been reapirifr the benefit of for the last 6ix months. Our citizens may be at home on the 6ame evening on which they leave our commercial metropolis, and on their return, dine in that city on the same day they leave Camden. It really behoove us, therefore* to take into serious consideration, all the benefits which this Rail Road, now rapidly advancing to completion* may, by proper concerted measures, bo extended to us. There is very little doubt, that if we establish a line of daily stages to the Richlandsdepot, and contribute to a regular wagon communication between that point and this town, muqfc of the trade which is now diverted to the .Pee Dee, will find its way ; back to Camden. The times were never more propitiousforourcitizens toawaketo theirreal interests, and to draw back to old Kershaw, much of the trade, which from the superior facilities afforded in other directions, had departed from her. Our Rail Road, by crossing the Congarce at or near AJcCord'a Ferry, gives us the meats of recovering what we had lost, and of again ml- j king Camden, what from her natural position, 6he deserves to be. - , , It may be premature to speak of the extension of the Rail Road to our town, but we feel assured, that at no distant day it will, and must be accomplished. If our wealthvplanters of the Watcree knew with what facility they could con-, struct a Road, and with the experience acquired, the comparatively trifling expense which would be involved in lis construction, they would not longhesitate on commencing the work. Aeontinuous Rail Road from Charleston to Camden, would make her the most important interior town of Carolina. The trade of all the southern portion of North Carolina, of all that portion of the North State which seeks a market in Fayette-1 ville and Cheraw, wotii i be diverted to Camden, > Indeed, we are not extravagant in the opinion, ?uiai uie whole wealth of the Yadkin, from where it issues fj urn the mountains of Virginia, would pour its currents on OLD KERSHAW. Departed this life, on Friday the 11th ult. j James T. Tjuiax. in the 22nd year of his ago, of; Pulmonary Consumption. Hi" health began to de- 1 cli 13 in February 1839. Nolw ilhstuuding many efforts were made, to arrest this f.ital disease, j yet lie continued to grow weak, and gradually J wear away, until the fall of 1811, when it became1 evident to all who saw him, that his sojourn upon earth, wis but short. Such was the natural buoy, aricy of his spirit that lie never gave way in gloom, but walked about and conversed freely and cheerfully with his friends, and frequently rode on liorsebuek," when it was apparent to all, that he ought to have been reposing upon his bed; he Was confined to his room but seven days, and when he gave up finally, all hope of recovery, lie expressed a desire to settle his worldly affairs, which was done to his satisfaction; after which, lie observed to Ins relations, . "that he iiaJ nothing upon earth now to perplex ; I is mind." His last days wore characterized by j deep searching of heart, humiliation and prayer to | God; ho seemed to stay his whole soul upon the heaven born promises of the Gospel. About two hours before he breathed his lust, his mother with children, and some other relations had gathorcd 1 around his bed, all bathed in tears, he looked towards one of his cousins and 6miled, and faintly articulated "I want you all to meet me in Heaven." Ho spoke but little after this, and sunk tranquilly, and triumphantly in the arms of Death. It is but duo to his momory to add, that ho was for two years a worthy and acceptable member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. An affectionate mother, with six children mourn their irreparable loss. Dut to them the voice of inspiration addresses itself in this soothing strain: "Write, bitted ure the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth."? Religion alone arranges all well for timo and for eternity. List of Letters Remaining in the Post Office at Camden, S. C. April 1st, 1842.

By this Horning's JUail. . LATER FROM TEXAS.- : Confirmation of the Invasion of Texas, We are indebted to. the Augusta Chronicle of Thufsday, for the--following -important" intelli? ence from Texas. By the arrival of the steamboat Col. Woods rom Galveston, whence she was despatched on he 22d, bungs the confirmation of the invasion if Texas by ah overwhelming Mexican' force, t appears that the retreat of the Uexi cans from San Antonio was a device to allure the TeJtian roops, assembled in haste, to go in purstfjt before hey were drilled and disciplined. Shortly after the steamship Neptune left Galreston, (which vessel reported the retreat of the Mexicans from Santonio) an express arrived, (ringing intelligence of the advance of 0,000 nen on the- Matamoras road towards Victoria, tnd reporting 12,000 additional troops marching ?n the upper road, upon San Antonio. , Thefor:es which recently captured San Antonio conitituted the van guard of the 12,000 under the lommand of Vasquez. The impression is that he Texian army of 1,500 men, under. Burleson, vill follow the retreat of the van. guard until )ruught within the power of the main army. From the Galveston Advertiser of the 22nd nil. The. following reached Its this morning by Vlr. S. Mussina, who left Matagorda at noon, )n Saturday. It will be observed that the facts stated are from two distinct sources. The committee of. safety for the county of Matagorda, present to the consideration of the people of the Eastern Counties the following acts, just received. * From letters dated the 16th inst from men in whom we have the utmost jonfidence, we extract the following?from Mr. Pleasant to his sister, Mrs. Fisher, dated Victo*ia, 16th inst.*""From Mexican information received on the iw'Jii there would be 1500 men at San Patricio, the advpnce guard of 9000." From Dr. A. M. Levy, same date: "Some friendly Mexicans just in camp,- report that :here were 9,000 Mexicans- advancing on the lower country, by the Matamoras road, and 12, i)00 on the road to San Antonio." The above, from the Camp, has been confirmed by the arrival of ono (if our spies in Camp, Mr. Blair. From G. R. Jacques, a-citizen of this town: "From the news brought in last-evening, I think vvc shall have to fall back, and if the force'of the enemy is not overrated, we will not be able tc fight them short of the Colorado, and perhaps as far East as the Brassos.?The reports are that the upper division of .Mexicans- is about 12000, and the Jower division about 9,000. There is no doubt they have a large force, and we may expect some rough fighting. Times are more 6erious than some imagine. Urge the people eastward,no push on and help us." Since the above was received Mr. Luddington ias just arrived from Linnville which place he eft on the 17th, at 10 o'clock, a. ai. Mr. West, he Deputy Collector; had just come in from Damp and reports "a spy company had just come n, who had seen a large body of Mexicans, supposed to be 9,000, 15 miles west of the Nueces, ind then on the march. There were two wagins at-Linnville pressing every articlera the way >f provisions for our army. From the above facts, if there is not a prompt urn out by the Middle and Eastern countries, he enemy will ravage and overrun our country.
