Sirs?I saw to-day, several gentlemen from Robeson County North Carolina, who told me that several hundred colored persons left that State within the last day or two, with the ostensible purpose of working on Rail Roads in this State. The impression is very general that they are being moved with a view ol giving the Radicals a lift here, in the approaching election. As the time if now short, I thought it advisable tc send this information to you. I hope you will sound an alarm at once, and put everybody 011 the qui vivo for an operation of this kind." We have published this extract as the surest mode of preventing any attempt of this kind if made. Forewarned?forearmed. A Voice From Florida.?A gentleman of our County has handed us t letter from a colored man in Florida tc his children, who live in the neighbor hood of Ttaohelors Retreat, in which lit advises them not to vote the Rudica ticket, if they have their own or theii country's interest at heart. The lettei is headed Archer, Florida, Scptembei 5th, 1870, and signed Bub Gambrell Tho writer is known to many of our ole citizens as having purchased his free dotn at the sale of Wm. Simpson's estate previous to the war. He wr s afterward sold into slavery by the Shcrif and carried to Florida by Ira Gambrell He has four children in this Cjjunty two of whom live on the land of Mr J. 11. Shclor, the others in same neigh borhood. These children, we arc told were strong Radicals, but on readin< the letter of their father, have conclu ded his advice to be good and will nov vote the Reform ticket. We only wisl others could see their true interests an* do likwise. Wo publish the followinj extract from the letter which can b seen in the possession of Bub Simpsoi to whom the origiual has been return cd. * jjc * ****:;:* Jf.

There was a heavy frost in Norfo!] on the morning of the 9th instant. . THE JOURNAL. do! ma CAMDEN, OCTOBER 13, 1870. Pa Omitted. in' Wo received for publication, at too 00 lato an Lour, a very sensible letter addressed by Edward J. Conway, a na- at tive born colored man, to the People of 12 Kershaw County. to Be Certain ^ j To come out on Wednesday next, j., j- and vote the Reform Ticket. Upon its success depends your prosperity! 1 ^ , Incendiarism. I s^a The barn of Zack Caufey, Esq , was1 burned on Monday morning last, just ^0I before day. We understand that a considerable quantity of corn and fodder ^10 were destroyed. Since Worthington's Rpeech here, it is surprising that more such incidents are not recorded. ^0l Mi Re-captured. SU( Berry Lanev who escaped from the tin Sheriff while being transported to the pit Penitentiary, about four weeks ago, was sti captured on Monday night, by a posse, tal after a loDg chase. He was shot at -to several times by one of his pursuers, pu , before he was taken. rti We understand that Berry was safely landed in the Penitentiary, on yes- isr terday, and that he was immediately pu treated to an iron necklace consisting ch ?>f a ball aod chain. j bl< ell The hast Opportunity. ^ This is our last opportunity before the election, to press upon our readers, the vast importance of this crisis, and ^l< of the necessity that they should do 01 their duty in this matter. There are two classes of perrons to P? whom we will address our rcmaiks: L Those who understand the questions at 'ia , issue. 2. Those who do not understand ^ . them. i We say to those who do understand the issue, that this is the time when ; *'v you should come forward to the reI demption of our State from misrule, Pu ( extravagance and oppressive taxation. mc Those who own property, know full 1 well that their taxes arc nearly three 1 times what they used to be; they knew P^( that they arc refused representation in *01 i the Legislature; that the State is not ^ r prosperous; that the State debt has W1 been cuormcusly increased; that to meet n" ' that increase, taxation has increased ; j , that in consequence, people arc failiug | Tj 1 to meet their taxes, and vast quantities i 1 of land is being sold to pay them ; they I ^ know that the necessity for a change in ! . the administration of the affairs of State i ' * r0' . The only way to secure this change is | ^ to east your ballots iu luvor of those i, ' - - - ! by whose watchwords are uouesty, lie* ~ trcnchmcnt and Reform. Sic that you " esi , io " , aff To ihose who do not understand the 1 * on > issues, we say that you should not vote jji 1 at all. Suppose that a man was to pro r pose two ineaus of becoming rich, and CQ that you did not comprehend either ag plan, would you invest your money io 1 either? Certainly not, or if you did, < you would most surely go in for the one ^ which seemed to you best. ja, p Now it is the same thing with the qucs- ^ tion now at issue. If Scott and his po , party promise you to reduce taxation, to economize expenditures and give us pf( ali a fair government, then take them pc I up and vote for them. But have they done ! 90? On the contrary, they tell you that ^ v they propose to make no change in their j ^ administration, that the State is so ' , h cheaply governed and so prosperous, ^ e that they cannot change it. a You know that this is false?you ?? J i m * know that they have deceived you in the fulfillment of their promises, and that ^ to day, the State is bankrupt by their I jj Legislation. The Union Reform Party ! ^ e promise to reduce taxes,* to economize | ^ t, expenditures and Lave an honest gov 5 ernment. Of the two, then, choose the lfc latter, if that to your judgment is bet- ^ tcr calculated to promote your interest I se :C and the prosperity of the State. But i. if you caDnot commend this to your w 6 judgment, then touch not the question r d at all, h( "1 . Milk and Water. Fit only for the swill-tub is the mat-! ter of the Scott Radical Executive re c Committee's address. On page 4 gen0 eral taxes for State purposes is stated ( f i to be 81,000,000; for County purposes j c' J j 8500,000, total, 1,500,000, which pur- i su n J ports to be taken from the Auditor's . e j Report for 1809.

On page 7, it is stilted that about i sa ^ | 8800,000, "bills receivable," were is- j % | sued prior to the inauguiation of the j a? n _ present government.

The address de- ! ' clares that "in July 1868, these bills j receivable were worth sixty cents on j I31 ' the dollar." What did their boasted Dc ! bonds sell for? Srroify cents on the ?8 1 1 liar! Wouderful of yold interest, to < iko bonds worth ten cents more than 1 per money! They report in their address, accrued < :ercst on public debt to be 8612,390,- i 0, on January 1, 1869.

We dceire to "know . w it is that whcTcas, the Union Re- < mors are declared to be those who i ight for the continuation of slavery, i r. Franklin J. Moses Jr., who bore ] :h a prominent part in the first act of it bloody drama, is forgiven so comitely for his transgression,'and ice " ?--u \uun ;Q #w 1 il iiuiu rcspuuaiuic i ?? uww io ?.uuv ^ de upon which Moses wrote the order fire .on Fort Sumter, and which is t aside as an heirloom for his childi? Washed in the pool of Scott Radicaln, we suppose. In that fountain of rity once washed, md behold the ange. The past is forgotten, the tai remodeled, Moses hand up to his )ow in the blood of his fellow crcarcs, is cleansed instantly. Wonderful, sotbiog,- oblivious power of Scott jpublicanisra ! Come to this fountain youth and purity, ye Reformers, and ish your sins away! Three hundred und3 of flush, but not one ounce of ains, appertaining to R. F. Graham, vc been laved therein : Fort Sumter oses, and his distinguished father, yg rendered their past history an livion to the Scott Radicals, by baing in his waters; their sius have en washed away by a draught of its .rifying liquid. What a precious jrguc is that pool I bow calm, how eet is woters! We turn from the subject with coulee disgust. Join such men in an ef t for Reform? Never, while cur art'sblood courses through our veins, 11 we unite with a band of such unlisted treacherous, corrupt knaves! ii honest man cannot do it. tieSophialry ofthefteoft Ring. Fort Sumter Moses, Speaker and >airman of Scott's Excculivo Comttee, in his valedictory to the House Representatives, on Wednesday, arch 2!th, 1800, says : Guided alone my convictions as to the best in csts of our people, I yield my acquiicnce in this changed oondition of airs, and prepared my mind at. cc and in good faith to recognize the (crated and enfranchised race "as an tegral element of the body politic," titled as well as myself, and as fully rnyseif to all civil and political rights to an equal participation in the fraing of the new government, and in e making and administ'ation of the i - I tvs. I recognized, as an accomplished ct not alone the personal, but the lifical emancipation of the race : not jne their right to the enjoyment of j jedom, but their right to an active rticipation in governmental affairs.? lie political position thus assumed by ysclf and. others entertaining like cws?a position wliick placed us side t side w'uh the colored race?this poLion, thus assumed, has brought upon ! i much of unmeasured censure and i uch of uncalled for odium." Compare these statements, especially c words underscored, and it will be en that they are nearly identical with J ose used in the platform of the Union j eform Party, and that their meaning I altogether the same. Wherein then, lies the distinction itween this honorable man, E. J. Mo- ! s, Jr., and the members of the Union eform Party. Only in this: that hcrcas that deluded and malignant eaturc, has united himself to the >rde of robbers, styling themselves! Republicans," who now control the :ate, we, of the Union Reform Party,1 fuse to associate with any such band. I Baptized in the polluted waters of mlh Carolina Radical-Pvepublicani.sm, i rcumeiscd and shorn of his guilt by J cli baptism, this man makes his stulti-; :ation complete,, when in the face of | sown words, he denounces as "dc-J ioers," those who act with the Union j eforui Party. Ilis own words prove ! at he occupied two years ago, the po-, tion now assumed by us. It" what we j y now, {'is a disguise of pretences," en doubly so is what he said two years ;o. What he said a year ago, he now :clares is a pretence and deceit, wheu e entire pcoploof the State come up his statesmanship. In other words, ?is the only white inan in the State, bo has a right to the opinions held by m. Doubtless he has a copyright j r his valedictory, and wo commit j rceny, when wc dare use it. lie is >t so apt at seeing the ooint, when wo k hint of bis sudden ulBucuce.? j jli do! that was also obtaiucd bv means of a patent right taken out by a Radical Legislature for "pocketing perquisites," and no Reformer has a right to inquire into its workings. Scott, Moses & Co.,. have too jealous a guard aver it; it has worked so well that two years more at it, is what they arc after. How applicabie are the words of the Executive Committee address to F. J. Mosts, jr., with a change of one or twe little pronouns. 1' Fellow citizens, we speak the truth when we tell you that the life of F. J. Moses, jr., in his usutLion, and at every stage of his existence) lias been a subterfuge and a trick ! His 'platform of principles" is a disguise jf prcteoces and his cry of "Reform" is the brazen "stop thief" of the robber J By the most vulgar personal abuse, bj dastardly slanders; in a word, by all the means from which honest men shoulii ibstain, they seek to bully their way t( power." Delluvcn's Circus. Woweuttothis circus on Mooday ant felt a few seosations, some of pleasure some of unmitigated disgust. The balloon ascension was grand smoky aDd peculiar. Wo-suppose tha it attained an elevation of 80U yards but it had not proceeded a half mil latcrully before it began to descent rapidly, and finally met with and igno minious collapse in Mr. Dunlap's field The riding was tolerable. The tunib ling was better. The Arab (so-called) twisted hirusel out of human shape, and pcrformei some wonderful feats of tumbling catching knives, ami go on. Mr. Lowry, the bare back rider, wa very good. We think he rode fastc than any other rider we ever saw. One of the clowns, Mr. ItcynohL was a pretty sha^p fellow, and showc his sharpness by not repeating the sum jokes at uight that he made in th afternoon, notwithstanding the ring master endeavored to make him do t> Mazeppa was as complete a humbug: was ever perpetrated upon a creduloi community. The following is abut that was done. An old fellow iu dressing gown and a very dirty bear rode in the grand entry: liiiswasfo lowed by four "supes" with banner.' and two little boys shouting. Tli dressing gowned and dirty bearded ol chap came out and ranted around for little while Then Count Nobody-nine walked out with a tin sword strappc around his body, and in a soliloquy, ii formed tlie excited audience that "Ch tilde had been brought up in solitude, aod a few more points in her biograph; Another Count with his face concealc beneath a flowing robe, and the prou possessor of another tin sword, can iu, rudely interrupted Count Ntbod and finally they became violently ei raged and engaged in a furious comba which was terminated by Count N body's internal arrangemeu 9 bein broken into by tlie other Count's ti sword. lie fell upon the bosom < mother earth. Whilst in that delica and dangerous situation, lie was disco ered by bis dressing gown aod dirt beard and some "supes," who lifu him up. About that time the otln fellow was caught aud brought forth a captive. The dressing gown at beard swore that lie would have imin diatc vengeance, which said vengnnc said he, would be terrible. Finally horse, "the firey, untamed steed," w brought io. and by ibe ingeniusof tl <2 ' - ? groom, was made to rear and pitch f riously: lire unfortunate sticker w strapped oh, and the horse relieve from the torture, quietly trotted out.

The ancient Creek poet from who the above lines are translated, mig1 have been contemplating the desolatit of South Carolina, when ho drew th picture. Events in every day and in eve: direction arc pointing to us the desol; lion towards which Radical rule dragging the State, but we think th the action of the Commissioners < Election for Kershaw county, Messi J.
