report from Liverpool for a week or two later
than tho-e on hoard iiie America, now nearly
due, are just as likely to show a decline as an
advance. There is one fact pretty generally
known on this side of the Atlantic, which is a
short crop, and in the face of that, it is folly for
the spinners of.Manchester and specul.ntors of
Llydrpool to carry on the contest with holders
on this side. There never has been a seasion
in the commercial history of this country, when
\ye have been better able to carry our cotton
'crop tlian this, and the lords of the loom in
England will soon find that they have made a
CTeat mi-lake in their efforts to force us to sell.
They have heretofore succeeded in depressing
prices for this great staple product whenever
they have made an effort to do so, and have
supposed that the power was still in their hands.
They will soon discover their mistake; and if
they do not have to pay for their temerity, we
will give it op, and let them rule prices hereafter
without opposition. J
The three great regulators of prices for Cotton
io the Liverpool market are Baring, Broth'
* ers & Co., Brown, Shipley & Co. and Fielden,
Brothers & Co., the last exercising the greatest
influence, and in ability decidedly superior to
the others. Their agents are found in every
Soethern port in the country, and, as a class,
are remarkable foe their fidelity to English in- |
tereals, 'i'ho Eieldeus are the largest Cotton
manufacturers in the wo Id. Their commission

at Manchester. These houses have ruled supreme
hi the Cotton market, and have put prices
fur the raw material up orduwu at pleasure.
Tilis veer they have received a check that will
learn Ihe.u a lesson. Their sceptre has departed,
a id from this time forward prices will depend
more upon supply and demand, than upon
the dictum of a combination of the immense
wealth of a few houses in Lu rponl. What
we have lu en so long and so anxiously looking
for is upon the point of being realised. The

side of (he Aliunde, and Nciv York will he the
grout tlisi Uniting point of the raw material, instead
of Liverpool. The consumption of Cotton
in this conutry lias become so great, and is
p-ogic.- dag with :>o much rapidity, that prices
for any surplus that we may have for shipment,
v.il! not d- nend entirely upon the whims and
cap'ices of the spiimeis < Manchester. The
markets oftireat Criiain wilt not he so important
a* iii past years, ami as our shipments become
more direct to the points of consumption
in Ku'rope, we shall he better able to establish
and maintain prices. Our manufacturers already
consume half as much Cotton as those of
r?un tlio r-itin of increase here is much
greater than on tlie other side, and liie produetton
ofthe raw asaferial cannot keep pace with
the increase ia consninption throughout the
world. We have shown that, under the most
favorable auspices, a crop of two million six
hundred thousand bales is as much as can he
picked, and the annual consumption already
reaches that quantity, it, therefore, .appears
plain, that the movements in the Cotton market,
lieneeforth. are likely to he highly important
and in!*.-;"; ting.
The course pursued in previous years, l?v the
tim e houses above mentioned, lias been adopto*l
this, but not with equal success; in fact, tliis
year, with de feat, out and out defeat, which
will result in a conijiloto route, The policy
heretofore lias boon to lot juices up in the fall,
so as to -ring the croji from its recesses to increase
the supply as rapidly as possibly in the
ports, audi determine, at tiio earliest moment,
the production for the year. As soon as this
operation lias had full ell'ect, and the extent of
the supply is known, the reverse movement is
resort* - ' to, for the purpose of depreciating prices,
tu em! io spinners and these large houses
to lay in large stocks. All kinds ol reports are

despicable means, tiiey almost invariably
succeed in breaking down the Liverpool
market, knowing the eii'ect of a depreciation in
prices tiiere upon the markets of the United
Slates, i bis game has been practised this j
year, and the energies of three houses above
mentioned have been exerted to their utmost to
break down the markets of this country, so that
they could lay in a full supply of the raw material
for -pinning and lor .speculation. All,however,
has been of no avail. Holders here have
been to ? well posted up, and in the command
of liu iliiios for carrying cotton, to give these
houses tbe slightest chance of success; and
t'in.-.e dependi >g upon future purchases for supplies
for iiiaiiufaclufing purposes, will pay dearly
for their procrastination,
It is the impression in England, produced 1
principally by the statements of the great spec- i
ulators, that the crop this year will reach 2,- i
300,000 bales at least, and that the Yankees \
are humbugging them by reporting a crop of 1
only 2,090,000 bales. They believe that we i
have a larger supply of cotton than represented, i
that tve are holding it back to put up prices,
and that it is only necessary to keep quiet, to
keep out of the market, to force holders here to
disgorge. In all this thev are doomed to dire
disappointment. 'J'he obstinacy of holders here

the large spinners of Manchester, and well it .
may, for it is a feature connected with this
trade never before known, but one that will
hereafter be visible every year. Capital is ip- {
creasing so rapidly in this country, and we are
consuming so much of our crop of cotton, that
110 fears need be entertained herealter that re- '
numerating prices for the raw material will not
bo realized. It will hereafter be in vain for the
manufacturers of C<rent Britain to put large lots
of cotton upon the Liverpool market, for the s
purpose of depressing prices, as the Fieldens >
were doing at the last accounts, and the result <
of recent efforts will teach them not to attempt 4
the like again. ;
These Cotton lords have bled our planters ,
long enough, and we have borne their efforts to |
depreciate the value of this product patiently ,
and with little murmuring. The tables now are .
turned, and we shall see if Manchester does not
pay enough this year to make op for a portion 1
of what they have taken from us in years past, 1
by low prices. The tone of the circulars re- J
cently received from Liverpool from the three i
great houses, shows how annoyed they have I
been at the obstinacy of holders in this country, <
while those of American houses in Liverpool,
such as Washington, Jackson, Sons and Co.
have been in quite n different vein. The English
houses having shown their hand, the thing
sticks out too plainly to be mfsunderstood.?
There was no necessity for sneering at " short
crop," as it was known pretty early in the season
that the yield would be but moderate, at
the best The time has arrived for us to dictate
to the spinners of Manchester what prices
must rule,and if they do not choose to pay what
we ask for the little Cotton we have, they have
but one alternative, and that is, to shut up their
mills, while those in this country will continue .
to do what they have been doing for some time
past?run day and night Manchester was, at
last accounts, nearly bare of stock, and holders
of Cotton in this country know it; and if English
spinners buy Cotton for the remainder of
the season, lower than those of Lowell, we
have made a very great mistake in our calculations.
More than seven millions of dollars
worth of Cotton are held in this market, and
holders are by no means anxious to sell. They
know, just as well as they Know mat wo mm
two make four, that tliey have the power in
their own hands ; that the spinners of Mauchestor
are at their mercy; and when the contest
cotues, they (the spinners) need expect 110 quarter,
for they will get none. With a crop now
coming to market nearly four hundred thousand
hales less than anticipated in England, and the
prospects relative to the new crop exceedingly
unfavorable, holders 011 this side of the Atlantic
can dictate their own terms. As we remarked
at the beginning, the Ameiica, now due at Halifax,
with two weeks' later intelligence from
Liverpool, may bring accounts of a further decline,
and she may bring an advance. One is
just as likely as the other. Everything depends
upon the advices which had been received at
Liverpool from this country, previous to the departure
of the Ameiica. When prices do take

Grand Division ot tno sons 01 lempsrduw r
This body are now holding their quarterly ses- t
don in this place, and are a fine looking body oi jnen,
calculated to make a fine impression in favor t
)f the cold water cause. Last night, they had a f
Hum outJ' together with the Wateree Division a
md Cadets of this town. They marched in pro- a
session from the Masonic Lodge, where they are
liolding their session, to the Presbyterian Church, t
where the audience was addressed by Messrs. i
Montague, Clayton, Duryee, and Grisham, in very c
eloquent and effective speeches, in which the evils t
of imemperance were shown, the cause 01 temperance
in general, and tlie Sons in particular, were
ably vindicated. There is to be a public meeting
to-night. Let all attend who wish to hear more
011 the subject.
The Plank Road.
We are glad to see that the experiment is being
made?that the work has "commenced, and we
are shortly to have ocular demonstration (on a
small scale?not a fair specimen; 01 me practicability
of a Plonk Road. The timbers are being
laid, commencing from the public square, and will
be carried down Main street, through Log Town,
to the brow of the hill,as we understand; a distance
of several hundred yaids. Our people will
have an opportunity, to some extent, of seeing and
judging for themselves. We opine their verdict
...;n Ku ir. Atrrtr nf itio cclipmc. We earnestlv
will W 114 iu> V? V* kUV UW..W...W. - - ? J
liope this may not be all. We need a Plank Road
to North Carolina; and we trust the enterprise
and ambition of our people will carry the work on,
until the whole arrangement is consummated?
until the Road is built. The interests of the town
of Camden, and the up country, demand it?the
salvation of our interests, in a business point o
view, imperatively requires it. With a plank road
to Camden, we may not care for Columbia, wit!
all her iron arms, grasping or trying to take in all
the up country, and cut us entirely off. Cheraw
will have no showing by the side of us; for without
any " secret, underhanded attempts on the pari
of the citizens of Camden," the Plank Road will do
ti,<i wnrL- With such a road, we mav verv rea
sonably expect a large increase to the trade of our
town;?without it the contrary must inevitably
be the result. No reasonable man can expect that
the trade or business of a town or city can increase
when so inany obstacles lie in the way.
IIow much of the time this season have our market
roads been in such a condition as to render
them next to impassible. Our farmers will hardly
Iuj u'itlinfr another season to undergo the fatigue
ww O ^ w
and expense of marketing their produce to Cainden,
if better ways are not made. We hope our
people may be induced by all the circumstances
around them to " mend their ways," and that
speedily. It is true, even if we do not have a
Plank Road or roads, there may be a few cotton
bags for our merchants to scramble over; but tin's
is not what we want. We want our streets filled
with wagons, and those wagons filled with produce?that
which will give life, spirit, and energy
to our town.
Meteorio Stone from Union County, N. U.
A specimen of the Meteorite noticed in the Camden
Journal last year, as being in the possession
of the editor, was solicited as a donation by the
Professor of Meteorology in the Smithsonian Institute

Jalifornia, embracing the entire Pacific coast, with |

THE WEATHER,
FROM JANUARY TO 3IAY.
BY LAC0.N1CUS.
Snowing, raining, hailing, blowing,
And all things overflowing,
'Tis enough to make us fret,
When we see 110 chance of ploughing
For at least a fortnight yet
Rattling, pattering, clattering, falling,
And winds forever squalling,
There's a dismal time to coine;
Sure 'tis hard on ev'ry calling,
That the hogs should di; for corn.
Wheezing, freezing, sneezing, teasing,
And all with colds a crying,?
Oh! the times are hard indeed,?
Fresh deluges never ceasing,
Who can plant his collard seed ?
Easting, southing, westing, northing,
The winds are always puffing;
r, .:u
r ramie, uu&uiug wnu ouumj
They're anon and ever shuffling
Up a drenching waterspout.
Frowning, showering, lowering, towering,
The clouds are always soaring,
Full enough to break a mill;
Keeping floods and rivers pouring
Out of ev'ry little rill.
But we'll cease our sighing, crying,
At wayward storms and raining,?
Wild, confus'd, and flooding showers;
Soon we'll have no more repining,
But rejoice in sunnier hours.

of the Camden Branch Kuilroad, until

uust content myself with merely glancing at
:he strong points and facts that are brought
lown to our time ctn the page of History. I
ivill begin with what is called the New England |
States. They were originally settled by the i
'uritans, who had no rational ideas of rcpubli- '
san principles. They were Religious Fanatics,

uid again, "no woman shall kiss her child on

nay appear, vet it is no less true, that the same
>piiit of wild fanaticism has continued among

ground, an is done unuer uie inuuence 01 ineir
religion which has always borne marks of being
. ai tlilj', sensual, and devilish. This may seem
strong language, but their history will well warant
its use. What is their present position in
the moral world ? It is briefly this: robbery,
rapine and murder are every-day occurrences
in their cities. Slavery of the most degrading
kind exist iu rrll their factories. Prostitution is
scattered broad cast among the lower order of
their females; and yet, in the face of all this

THE FLORIDA INDIANS?ARRIVAL
FROM INDIAN RlVfilL
Tlio steamer Monmouth, from Indian Rive-,
Florida, arrived at oar port on Saturday last
She brought a number of passengers, including
several officers of the army in Florida. We
have not obtained much news by this arrival, but
sufficient to satisfy us, in connection with news
direct from Tampa, that the Indians have deter*
mined not to remove neaceably. Billy Bow Legs
has evacuated his town with his followers, and
with Sam Jones, has retired into the southern
extremity of the Everglades, where they are
perfectly secare from the operation of the arid
v during the summer.
We will add an extract from a letter from a
gentleman in Florida, well acquainted with the
movements of the Indians and the army, since
the first outbreak. "
" Geu.Twlggs i3 a first rate man?-bat the
fndinns won't go. They are making fun of
the gentry sent to remove them. The Indians
never intended to go. They are smart and
are fooling the army. General Bow Legs is
some. He has got clear of the crying widows
of the grabbed Indians and a few old gran dads
?sold his fat hogs, received 8 good supply of
blankets?but he cannot come in, for his 'child
is burnt,' until it gets well. A scout recently
sent to look after him found his town deserted.
Gen. Sam Jones is in the Brig Cypress, where
regulars are not prepared to follow him. The
army will have to remain, here this summer, and
the State will drive the Indians in to them next
winter."
