THE JOURS AL. JOHN KERSHAW, PROPRIETOR. "CAMDEN, S.~C7MARCH 20, 1873~~ Thanks. We have been received by our brother " Knights of the VJuiU" witn comment i most flattering, and a welcome into the J ranks of the fraternity most gratifying, because most kindly, and This, without regard to party. Though this may, in some cases, be no more than the salute yielded by knightly courtesy to a new champion that enters the lists before the combat begins, it none the # less demands tha courtesy of a sincere and appreciative acknowledgment in the same spirit in which it is accorded, and here we j repeat, "thanks, kind friends and generous foemeu." Demoralization, Public and Private. Tho task of the journalist of the present " :j? j.. day is by no means light, 11 ne consiuem uuly his responsibilities. The outlook is gloomy in the extreme, and well calculated to engender bitterness, and even despair. When we consider how much of misery to the individual results from brooding over the bad, duty and inclination impel us to bok for the bright sptos in the dark pictures and only refer to the more dismal features of the times when forced to do so, as faithful sentinels upon the watch-iowcr. We dare not cry peace wheu there is no peace, and beguile the innocent into fancied security, when danger stalks abroad. Wo are but too well aware, unfortunately, how low the standard of public morality has fallen here in the South, flow corruption assails the fountains of legislation, tho administration of office, x the ballot, the press, and every department n of the public interest, except (if we may except) the administration of justice. Every day brings forth some new development of infamy, some new frand upon the long suffer? nil atir>r>PRsfii] villainv. lug pwpCj nuv pij *v* ?? ??vv ^ While we write, our eye rests upon a passage from our cotemporary, the South Caroli> nian, which, perhaps, more forcibly sounds the depths of wickedness and depravity to which we have descended, than almost anything else that has come under our observa tion. We allude to the last phase of the history of the Blue Ridge Certificates, which having been repudiated by the Courts, were taken up by th<^.egislaturc for consideration, the clause of the act giving them credit, repealed by an act that passed both Houses, after having been mysteriously put out of the way while it was under consideration, was exhumed by the sagacity of Mr. Hurley, and finally was rnthlessly smothered by the Committee on Enrolled Acts, who failed to " " 1 Tf transmit it to tne uovernor ior approval. u such a precious piece of villainy as this is to.be tolerated, all legislation becomes a oontemptible farce, and there is no security to f the public interests whatever. If the great, party of progress can protect its legislation no better than this, it had better give place to other people, who are Uss advanced. Whili we are enduring such inflictions, wo are not to suppose that we are in a very much worse condition, morally, than our neighbors of the North. Tho Tammany frauds, tho Credit Mobilier business, the Pomeroy bribery case, and many others, aud thegeueral indifference of the public to their shameful corruptions, would indicato that tho rottenness in State affairs there, had reached a point quite as rank as that existing here. There is in that region no plea of ignorance or want of education or astuteness on the part of the people to excuse the immunity from punishment enjoyed by offenders, and this would tend to show that pub lie opinion is itself demoralized, and either from familiarity or favor, found in corruption nothing to censure or punish. As to private morality, we fear the case is bad enough, whether we look at homo or abroad. We know there are large classes of the people of all sections of the country whose virtue shines the brighter for theoontrast with the vico surrounding them, but there are revelations occasionally mado, that evidence an amount of depravity most heartsickening and deplorable. Take the following one: Mr Anthouy Comstock has lately written a letter to a member of Congress, telling him of his own exploits in the destruction and suppression of obscene literature, etc., during the past year. Among the articles unearthed and destroyed, ho enumerates: "Obscene photographs, stereoscopic and other pictures, more than 182,000; obscene books and pamphlets, more than 5 to us; obscene letter-press in sheets, more than 2 tons; sheets of impure songs, catalogues, hand bills, &o., more than 21,000; obscene microscopic w_tch and kni*e charms and finger-rings, more than 5,000, obscene negative plates for printing photographs and stereoscopic views, about 052; obsceno engraved steel and copper plutos, 350; obscene lithographic stones destroyod, 20; obscene wood-cat engravings, more than 5. tons; obscene transparent playing card? from 5,500 to 0.000; obscene and immoral rubber articles, over 30,000; lead moulds for manufacturing rubber goods, twelvo set, or more than 7??0 lbs.; newspapers seized, about 4,600; letters from all parts of tho country ordering these goods, about 15,000; names of dealers in account books seized, about 6,000; list of names in the hands of dealers, that are sold as merchandise, to forward catalogues and circulars to, independent of letters and account books seized, more than 7,000; arrest of dealers since Oetober 7, 1871, over 50; publishers, manufacturers and dealers dead since March last, C. That^uch horrors should exist at all is a shame and a blot upon our humanity, but that they should find, as they must have found, numerous and appreciative patrons, is enough to make us pauso and" question the form of civilization that produces such fruits. These arc sad pictures of our boasted progress, but it is not worth our while either to shut our eyes to their existence or lay to our souls the flattering unction that ether people are as bad. Let us rather realize from the review, that we are not doing our duty, that public opinion must be aroused to some thing better than political agitation, that our civilization is about to go down in a sea of corruption, if we do nothing to stay the tide. A Gallant Soldier.?The Edgefield Advertiser gives the following incident of the late war. It was a noblo acknowledgement by a gallant soldier of his appreciation of the bravery of a minister of the gospel. "During Longstrcet's campaign in Tennessee, while a portion of his army was under a fearful fire of shells from the enemy at Campbell's Station, a private soldier, within a few feet of the Colonel of his Regiment, had both of his legs torn off. The regiment was not fightning, but waiting orders. The wounded man was lifted a couple of yards in rear, to die. Another private now marched down the line nndera hail of missiles, and said to tho commanding officer, "Colonel, may I have a few moments of prayer with Kq# ^trtnry mnn The Colonel said. "Are you a clergyman ?" The private answered, "I am." "Then," said the Colonel, "do as you desire." And the man of God knelt and prayed with and for the dying man five or ten minutes, without moving or swaying his body, seeminly totally unconscious of a storm of shot and shell, which, tho Colonel tells us, he never saw surpassed in fury. In a few days the praying private was announced in fioldorders as Chaplain of the Regiment ?"promoted for gallantry and piety on the field." The Regiment was the Hampton Legion. The Colonel was Gary. The private soldier was the Rev. W. M. Thomas, now pastor of the Methodist Churches of our circuit.

Dr. Terr's Celebrated ExpectorantIIow It Acts.?First it detaches from the bronchial or wind tubes the mucus or matter which sometimes adheres to them with the tenacity of glue. Secondly, it mitigates the paiu and removes tho constriction of the bronehial tubes and muscles of the chest. Thirdly, it resists the progress of inflammation, and assists the lungs to throw off the irritntinrr TvhlVli nOPnmillntOS. MARRIED.?On the 12th inst., by Rev. A. K. Durham, Thomas B. Walker, Esq, of Fairfield, and Miss. Matilda Wilson, of Camden. Departed this life on the Cth of March 1878, Mrs. J. Shivkb, wife of Mr. Thos. L. Shiver, aged 50 years and 9 months. For the last thirtyfive years of her past life, she has been united to the Buptist Church, and alwaysattendcd the services of her Heavenly Father, unless Providentially prevented. During the last few days of her sickness her suffering was intense, but her last momeuta of'life were peacftfl and tranquil, passing away gently from this earthly life to a far happier und glorious one. Let us live the life of the righteous that we may die their death and that our last moments may be like thcir's. Dearest mother, thou hast left us; Here thy loss we deeply feel; But 'tis God that hnth bereft us ; He can all our sorrows lien1, Vet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life is fled, There in heaven with Joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tear is shed. Love. Another Old Soldier or the Cross Gome? Our old brother Isom Jaclso.n, was born October 21, 1788, and departed this life January 31, 1873, being 84 years, 3 months and 10 days old. He married in early life, and raised a large family, several of whom were taken away before him. We huve no record that shows when brother Jackson was baptized, but the Baptist Church of Christ, Bethegda, Kershaw County, S* C., was constituted on the 26th ?f Ootober, 1823, and he was a constituent member. My first acquaintance with him was in November, 1886, and the most friendly relationship in Chriat remained between us until his death. In 1841 he used the office of Deacon in that Church, which office he filled till his departure, lie manifested his Jerus Chriat very clearly, by his pious walk and Godly conversation, and sustained the character of a true christian among all who knew him. He suffered under a long and lingering disease, which he bore with great christian fortitude and resignation until he fell asleep in the aims of Jesus. He left an aged and affectionate companion, who had been partner with hinfln his sorrows and joys about three score years, several children, grand-children, grent-graud-chil- j dren and a host of relatives te mourn tljeir loss But we sorrow not as those who have no hope, Knl i?,vi n ,# mi.
