THE JOURNAL. CAMDEN, OCTOBER 7,1869. Quarterly Meeting. We are requested to state tbat th fourth quarterly meeting for 1869, wil commence at the M. E. Church, id thi plaoe, on Saturday next. The Presidinj Elder, Rev. S. H. Brown, is expeotei to be present. Mr. John S. Rnrnet. Thin young gentleman has come int oar midst' again, for the purpose o opening a school for boys. We regard him as eminently qualifiei both mentally and morally, as an in tractor of our youth. His qualifications, combined with th favorable impression produced upon ou community during his stay here as i -refugee, and as a student at law unde Gen. Kershaw, will, we doubt not, se Cure him a liberal patronage. Personal. On yesterday we were favored witl a call from Capt. J. H. Miller, gener al agent of the Southern Lifo Insurance Company, who is now visiting our vi cinity on the business of his company and are glad to learn that he is meeting with great success wherever he goes.? The subject of life insurance has largely engaged publie attention, and man; art availing themselves of the advantage; offered by the several safe and reliabli Southern companies, managed by ou own people, prominent among which i; that represented by Capt. Miller. Released on Bail. We are informed that Mr. 4.rio Nilcs mentioned in last week's Journal ai committed to jail for the shooting 01 Ned Robinson, was carried before Judg< Thomas at Lancaster C.

It will be seen by his notice, that the County Treasurer has been instructei to receive the taxes until the 15th inst without penalty. After that time hi will proceed in a summary manner ti collect both the tax and penalty. . Shipment or Cotton. -. We have been kindly furnished bi the polite ageDt of the S. C. R. R., i a .f a1. .

Personal. "Ye Local," who had such an attack Di J: ' of tooth-ache, at the time of our last is sue, has returned, at least we saw a mac who said he heard another man say tc some one else, that he had 6een a hatch et faced individual with thirteen bundleas and a carpet-bag, tottering up the road-towards the place where he is sup posed to live, but could'nt swear to hie ' identity. This last man said he at first thought it must be the Express freight bat upon a closer investigatfon he found -i :? ? ?_ : l: ? J i? BXloW It noo uuijr au nupiiuu freight. What gave rise to the impli cation is a profound mystery, but w< shrewdly suspect that he was freightec by those few Express bundles by reason of his implied accommodating disposi lion. We think, therefore, that our frient has returned, and that the bundles ma\ have been manusorjpt, notes of what hi had seen and done. ' We picked up one written by him ii which he says that be saw two or thre< people and four or five houses in th< city, only; his powers of observatioi moat be limited indeed. Bat he goes on to say, that cominj up the S. C. R. R. at Congaree Swamp where the terrible accident occurred i few weeks since, he espied a prett' good force engaged in cutting down th trees within one hundred feet of th trestle, and likens it to the case of cut ting a man s throat and then breakinj Bp the knife, or breaking his head am then destroying the stick, 01 hanging man and then cutting up the rope b way of apology.

The first number of this agricultural tl( and mechanical Magazine was promptj ly issued at the promised time, and is m . now on our table. As was to have been Pr ? expected, it is the handsomest publicn. tion of the kind ever issued in the 01 South, while its contents are varied and an t admirably suited to the wants of the _ class of readers for which it is more ni' j particularly intended. Its embelish- te 3 ments ore executed in the best style of "" s the art. The leading article, devoted 011 3 to "David Dickson and Improved at r Farming," is worth more to the planter, t'1 s especially to beginners, than many times ca the subscription price and we hope to ^ see it in the hands of every planter in m' our District, at least. c'' ' The agency is at the Journal office, J and we invite all to call and examine rp 1 specimens and subscribe to it. *' j The Southern Cultivator L. j For October has reached us. We jia can do our planting friends no greater service than to call their attention to be this agricultural magazine. It is the lead- ra 5 ing representative of that revolution in * Southern farming, which has been in- m: augurated since the war, with such hap- jt B py results. Its editors, though progres3 sive, are evidently cautious men, attach- e(] ing great weight to experience, os shown by the large number of articles in every j issue, written by practical farmers in a all the Southern States. Its corps of jt 2 contributors is unrivalled. We notice ft . that the publishers continue to furnish nc to new subscribers, the letters contribu- c0 ted by Mr. Dickson, embodying his ex- ^ r pericnce and practice. These alone are p(] , worth 20 years subscription. If you co 3 have never seen the paper, send a stamp ju , to Southern Cultivator, Athens, Ga., for co a specimen copy, and examine it for j 3 yourself. Price 82 00 a year. (jU ch XIX Century.

Judge Orr gave 1 as his opinion, in his Charge to the * rand Jury last week, that as the law ' >w stands, construing the first nnd se- ! no acts of the present Legislature to- ' ither, that jurymen are to be selected 1 ill for qualifications, as well as in pro- ' irtion to the numbers of white and ' Iored voters. The list from which ' rors are to be drawn will, therefore, ! nsist entirely of qualified persons. J As we understand .it, each Township ' required to select its portion of juror>, lalificd as to intelligence and moral ' aractcr combined, if the number ol ' talified oolored voters is equal to the 1 imbcr of qualified white voters, then 1 q selection is to be half and half white ' d colored; but if the number of quali- 1 d colored voters is one third, thru the lection of jurors is made two-thirds lite and one-third black. If the prortion is ten or twenty whites qualid to ono of colored, ihcn the propor. I in of selections will be made accord- , gly. Wo do not pretend to give the :act language of the Judge, but think . 5 have fairly stated its substance Of 1 urso, as The Judge said, the sainerutc s selection is to be carried out in any se where the proportion of colored vo- I rs duly qualified as jurors is greater an the qualtfied number of whites. In | is way ull the provisions of the jury < w would bo fairly enforced; and ir is way, likewise no discrimination bntever would be made on account ol i lor. Every one can see that if the | lection of the jury list is made to dc- i snd solely on the proportion of num- i ;rs without regard to qualifications, < e law, as it now stands, would be dis- 1 gurded as well as the fundamental i inciple of equal rights in the Consti- i tiou and laws of tlie country. Other Judges in the State have ex I csed the same opinions given by Judge 1 rr, Judge Thomas among them, and 1 lis construction of the ju*y laws will, 1 e think, meet tho sanction of the en- 1 re Bench of the State. I Greenviile Enterprise. 1 j The Indians Loose Aoain.?On [onday we published a special dispatch i am Oiuuhn, reporting that quiet had icn restored at the Pawnee reservation, i v i:~-1~ -i.: l l.4 *l. o? ? ler a nvtJj Muruiisii uut w.uii uie oioux < id l'uwoetsand the flight of the former > r thirty miles, hotly pursued by the nited States cavalry On Wednesday i e pave an account of fresh depredations | y Indians in Arizona On the same ly advice received by the Indian De- I irtmcnt from Fort Stanton, in New I [exico, represented that the Nescuh-ro pache Indians are still on the warpath, i eaterday wc chronicled continued Inau depredations and murders in 1 [ontana, the attempt of u baud of Sioux l i take possession of tde Shoshone re- j rvation, in Wyoming Territory, and I l attact upon the soldiers at Laramie ! eak. It is thus manifest that the Inans are loose again. They are as ob. ( ?? J k tinate as ever in endeavoring to ipterapt the westward course of immigration. The "Quaker policy" bos Rignally failed o present their suvnge resistance to the trogicss of civilisation. A policy more ffcctual is imperatively demanded.? Moreover, it would scein that the miliary division commanded by Geneml Sheridan**is altogether too large. The gallant General may well say, "My famiy is too large." Extending, as his division does, from the lakes to the Gulf, t must bo difficult, if not impossible, or him to be everywhere master of the ituation.

The State Const :.bulary. The Grand Jury of Abbeville couny, in their presentment published in he Press of last week, thus fittingly characterizes the actings and doings of he State constabulary, which is a nuiauee in the eyes of honest people and a pievous sore on the body politic: As a part of the history of the times, md as an evil calling loudly for redress, >n account of the magnitude of the inerest which it involves and affects? jeing no other than the peace and good irder of the whole community?we feel t to be our duty, under the solemn >bligation of tho Grand Juror's oath, to >resent to the powers th t bet the acings and doings of the State Constabilary in this county. Not to go back >n the many acts of lawlessness which hey have committed of which we, as individuals, have knowledge, it is elough that we advert to the outrage which was perpetrated by members of he Constabulary during the present week, and which came ur.dcr our obirrvution in our organized capacity. On Monday of the present Term a citizen )f this county, who was under bond to ittend the Court, was, without warrant ir process of luw, seized by a member if the constabuluty, and violently and igainst remonstrance, forced iuto the Municipal prison of the Town. At this junctuie nothing but the most determined efforts on the part of certain inJu'-ntial persons ol the Town and conn :ry prevented the effusion of blood. A warrant having been obtained for the trrest of the offender, he was brought >cfore a-Magistrate; but, instead of being -oinniittcd to jail, or bound over to answer for his crime, by order of the Chief Nonstable he w.s set at liberty, as being i member of the constabulary force md therefore above the law. Such are ;hc facts stated in the Magistrate's ?ni irseuiciif upon the wninnt. If the acrson of the citizen?much more sacred n the eye of the law than his property, jven?is thus to bo made matter of <port and caprice on the part of a body ?f men, not in sympathy with the interests and feelings of the community, not responsible (as they claim to be) to the justly constituted authorities of the loon try, we feel ca led upon as conservators of tho public peace?as the eountry itself, which we ure?to protest ind remonstrate in the most solemn manner against these acts, and in the lame of the peace, order and well-being >f tho community, to demand the removal of this prolific cause of discord md trouble. TnE Enulish Cotton Trade.? I'lic attention which tlie leading Engish journals are devoting to the deangcd state of the trade in cotton and ;otton goods, betrays the alarm which s felt at the waning power of Lancashire. The cable brings the synopsis f another Times editorial on thequesion. It says: If cotton is dear with its increased production because of new spinning lountries bidding against us, then the Liverpool quotations arc unintelligible If the spinners not only carry off the raw material, but curtail their demands for our manufactures, the state is unintelligible also. On those suppositions it is useless to cry fur more and cheaper cotton, the evil arising only from the loss of the monopoly. The cotton demand is limited, aftd competitors diminish our share of the manufacture. We cannot discern that cotton at sixpence per pound would bring back trade to England. We lost it by the loss of the rtw material; but since then so many events have occurred affecting this great industry that it is nccssary to distribute or apportion their ecvcral results in the state of things before us. The New York Shipping and Commercial Lint adds: The truth is, the French and German 'pinners aro depriving England of a considerable portion of the trade which <he formerly enjoyed in Continental Europe, while our own spinners are L'vcry year lessening the American dependence upon English cotton goods. American manufacturers havo learned to make cotton goods equal in quality to those made in England, and this advantage our spinners are destined to maintain and increase. English spinners evidently recognize this fuct, and hence the doubts and fears to which the English journals are beginning to give expression.

Napoleon's Deatb.?The Earl j of Clarendon's visit to France indicates t the uneasiness felt by the European t powers in remand .. to the health of Na- 1 polean. The object of this visit was to t announce to the Emperor an arrange- t ment between Austria. Prussia, Russia and England to preserve peace, and check the contagion of revolution in France in case of the Emperor's death; 1 wo suppose, in other words, to strength- < en monarchy, sustain the Regency, and < stifle the free voico of France. For i England to take the lead in this move> < ment will not, wo think, be at all pleas- ! ingtothe liberal and progressive ele- i ments of Europe, nor will it add strength < to the Gladstone administration. The * profound anxiety exhibited concerning ? tho result of Napoleon's death is nor 1 only felt on the Paris Bourse, but from England to Russia every Government is us greatly exercised about the matter as if its fortunes depended upon if. The j entente cortiinle and the Crimean alii- I ance between France and England was i tho individual conception and personal work of the Emperor, and though the < entente ror' inte is now cemented by 1 commercial treaties and by strong and profitable interest*, yet it is fult to be more reliable while he lives than it is likely to be among tho political uncertainties that may follow his death. In the present condition of affairs in Germany, Prussia has no reason to p.ay for the Eniperor's health. Napoleon is the stumbling block in the way < f Prussia : to more empire. All the kingdoms of Europe are deeply interest d in the condition of his health. How greatly ?he course of events has been influenced by Napoleon personally is known to all students of the tim-s, and we are suie there is reason for doubting that events would have taken the same desirable direction if any other man?Urleanist or Liberal?had bee" at the head <-f affairs. Judging from the nuziety manifested by the great powers of Europe, his death may be looked for at nny moment.? What effect tho alliance will have in . preserving the peace of France and Europe, is hard to determine. N. Y. Cumm<-rcial Allot tintr. A Pen-Portrait op the Traveling President.?A Pittsburg correspondent of the New Torn Wwltl lurnishes the following portrait of the President, which will be found interesting to look at: This morn:ng, while at breakfast, I took the opportunity obelosely examining the General's face and manner. The best photographs of him by no means do him justice. Look him squarely in the eye; examine his mouth and forehead; and. even if you are tin Lavater, you will bo very likely to form a fair estimate of him. Compare tliis estimate of hts character with what you know of his life, and ten chances to one you will say that the President is neither more nor less than what is commonly called a "good fellow." To say that he is President is nothing, for if ever a man has receiv< d an office by means of ful-e pretences not of himself, but of others, tor I e was silent?that man is General Grunt. As a good fellow he carelessly travels about the country, Haying nothing but an occasional. "Thank you" when people are generous to hiin If he had anything to prey upon his mind, Wendell Phillip's phrase, "uneasy boy," might be more applicable to him than it is. He is simply a careless, srood fellow, who likes admiration and flattery, and to hear his own name coupled with hurrahs.? Ho leads the lite of a butterfly, flitting from flower to flower. Such propensities as his arc cheap, but neither villainous nor even per *e bad They are bad oulyjjccausc they arejunfortunately those ol the President, whoshou'd have something more important to utteud to than "gallivanting" through the land und making the people cry "Lo, here, and lo, there!" If Grant were only not President, he would be simply what an Irishman ihis morning told uic he was: "He is a very gentlemanly man, and so is his lady." Radicalism in Tennessee has died the death. Last week we noticed the collapse of the Memphis Post; and now we hear that the Nashville Prow and Time*, another Rr.dical organ, has lbllowid suit. There now remains not a single Radical daily paper in Volunteer State, Rrownlow's Whig, since it was sold by the Pa?son, having completely changed it political faith. The other curpet-bng presses throughout the South, now grown so fat and saucy trom feeding at the public crib, may here read what will be their own inevitable fate so soon a? the robbers and ruffiuus who now hold control of theso States shall have been?as they assuredly soon must be?hurled from power.?Daily Ntws Carpet Baggers at a Discount. ?Kveu the Texas Bulletin, Republican, is out against the tribe known us carpetbaggers, ?ud says : "They followed the army for the same cause that made them poor at home.? Not posse-sing industry or talent sufficient to achieve wealth and position at home, they followed the army to take advantage of circumstances to rise above their natural level.

It is evident that Mr Royee, during his connection with the radieal party, kept his eyes about him.
