And now fellow citizens, I cannot bring this communication to a close without invoking you to join me in humble and devout thanks to the Great Ruler of nations, for the multiplied blessings whic't he has graciously bestowed upon us. His hand, so often visible in our preservation, lias stayed the pestilence, saved us from foreign wars and domes, tic disturbances, and scattered plenty throughout the land. Our liberties, religious and civil, have been maintained; the fountains of knowledge have all been kepto-en, and moans of happiness widely spread and generally enjoyed, greater than have fallen to the lot of any other nation. And, while deeply penetrated with gratitude for the past, let us hope that his all-wise Providence will so guide our counsels, as that they shall result in giving satisfaction to our constituents, securing the peace of the country, and adding netr strength to the united Government under which we live.

More Light. The Hon. Joel R. Poinsett has published a letter to his " fellow citizens" on the important topics of the day, which the Mercury says was " written to set us all right about the general benevolent and even affectionate character of the Northern people,?to show us that the recent measures oi Congress, which we had taken to be aggressive and insulting in the present, and a partol a systematic development of sectional hostility to which, in the very nature of things, there could be no end but in a dissolution of the Union, or a hopeless degradation of the South,?were in reality very good measures, peaceable, reasonable, and rather constitutional than otherwise; and finally to inform us, that the anti-slavery party at the North is a trilling concern altogether:?what there is of it very bad and unwholesome, but not to be held in much fear because of its sinallness." Well, Mr. Poinsett is a great man, and it is a pity he kept shady so long! What an amount of uneasiness he might have prevented by making his revelations sooner. Who can tell what effect they might have had in quieting the public mind at the South, and the vast amount of money which might have boon saved in the meeting of Conventions, &c, And besides, how lovingly the two sections might now be jogging along together, and instead ot the driving northern coasters Irom our rice plantations, and taxing northern goods and importations, our loving brethren might still be making fortunes off us to aid the "small faction'' defending the liberties of their "colored brethren."

The common ties of humanity invest death with solemnity and sorrow. By the beneficent order of Ilitn who "laid the foundations of the world in Charity," the humblest, the most unfriendodof His creatures cannot pass to the grave without touching tho sensibilities of all. To the departed, such emotions can, indeed, be of no avail; but it is the privilege of friendship, when the first shock of sudden death has begun to subside, to give them utterance; and by kind memories of the dead, seek to mitigate the sorrow of the living. It sympathy with the bereaved be thus not only the privilege of friendship, but the universal tribute of humanity, honorable commendation of the dead is, not unfrequently, a high duty to society. Betore we, too, shall enter that grave which they already occupy, we have their good, or their evil, example to imitate: and it is not ourselves alone who are interested in that example, These reflections attach with peculiar fbrce to the recent death of our fellow citizen James Cuketon Doby; for he possessed qualities which made his example of moment to the community. With a vigorous and comprehensive intellect, he combined great firmness and tenacity of nurnose: and it was justly expected, on his admission to the Bar, that his career would be one of early usefulness and success. He continued in practice, however, but a few years; end if those years were too few to secure eminence, they yet afforded abundant proof that eminence only awaited the continued exercise ofliis abilities, On his marriage, lie withdrew from the profession, and devoted the energies of his intellect, and the affluence of his moral nature to the duties of domestic life: duties, if less striking, not less important; if less attractive to ambition, not less valued by the right mind and true heart, than those of a public career. Affectionate observance of the relations of husband and parent; diligent and judicious attention to business and the duties of a master; sobriety and dignity of deportment in his intercourse with others, madehis example of good report and influence in the community. Nor did he wholly overlook the more public claims of society. When the summons came for aid to our follow citizens of Florida, he was among the most zealous of that band, remarkable for the intelligence, the respectability and the wealth of its members, whose fortune it was to bear all the rigors of a campaign, without an opportunity of gathering the laurels their qualities and conduct so eminently deserved. The death of Mrs. Dobv, after his return, confirmed the influences which secluded him from the more public walks of life; and he devoted himself, with increased assiduity, to his private duties; and, more especially, to the personal care and education of his children. If, therefore, the talents which the community might well have claimed, were too much withheld froin more extended usefulness, his friends may hope that their influence will yet, be felt, in a legacy to society to be abundantly raalizod hereafter. Of Mr. Doby's preparation for that change which came suddenly and prematurely, the writer can add nothing to the testimony of him whoren-l dored the last omces of the Christian Ministry.? No one who heard those services, will doubt the j confidenco of the speaker, or need confirmation of its reasonableness. The regular attention to privato religious occupation; the union with his tami y in its domestic observances; the substitution of his own services with his servants when those of their pastor were casually withheld; the liberal contributions to the purposes of public worship; these, described from the heart and with the quivurtllfT Itn n# AMU Inhff 1 ? 1 v.mi^ ??|? uiiv v/"^ cw^m/.aiik ui uu-ii 1'i^cuui , attest a trust higher than the mere discharge of moral duty: and his friends may justly gather from thora the reasonable assurance, that it is well with their departed brother, CAMDEN PRICES CURRENT Bagging. |*r yd. id to | f,nfd, lit H to 10 Bale Hope ll? to 12- j b-ad, lit (5 to 7 Bacon, l!i 7} to H | Molasses, gull 31 to Butter, Ih IS to'20 jSTackaret, rid 8 to 10 Brandy, gal! 2S to 35 i Nails, Ih 6 to 7 Hee?w:u, Hi IH to '22 '.Pat*, sheaf. cwt -10 Beef, Hi 1 to 5 jlVus, bushel 80 ( Iteese, Hi 1*2 15 iPotatoes,H woel,ho 30 I oltoti, Ih 11} in 121, Irislt tin Torn, IiiisIm'! hit to i<5;ltyp, twshel Oif to 1 I'lonr, Idil fit to 7 Bice. bushel 3 to I Fodder. cwt If to I]|Siigar, Ih 7 lo 10 Hides, dry Ih H to II i-sntt, sack II Iron, Ih a to Gi sjjot,, < , bag Liine, Mil 2 to, UijTohacco, Ih 10 te 50 Leather. sole, lb IH io2J j Wheat. bush 11 I I.
