Many mount to rido for pleasure who meet with disappointments and mishaps ?r?vi> jis those which beftl "John Gilpin" or . &' ? " Taui O'Shantcr," and he who joins our ride expecting to enjoy the sweets of the crab apple avenue to Mulberry?the rich verdure and lowing herds of the ;i River Road"?the serene quiet of our beautiful old Cemetery? the thrilling memories evoked by those noble monuments?the proud traditions that cluster around "Cornwallis' House," "the Old Redoubt," "DeKalb's Monument," Lafayette Hall"?the curious and sad thoughts that arise as he gazes ou the head-stone that bears thejiamc of ' Agnes, of Glasgow"*? the mingled memories ot joy and sorrow suggested by large squares now deserted, where once rose splendid mansions, once occupied by our brightest and best?the placid beauties of our lake " Geneva"?the high, rugged chasms of lofty Ilobkirk?the softer beauties of Kirkwgpd's classic stream?will be disappointed. Our ride shall be so practical, that no enervating taste or sentiment or beauty, shall tempt us to digress from what "we go out to see,"?"cotton." We are reconstructed, and oiy; sentiments and tastes, our oar principles and policy arc for the dollar. Camden is a great town, not only upon paper, but on the ground? it only needs houses and population to be a big city. It extends, north and south, nearly three miles,. from Pine Tree creek beyond the heights of Hobkirk?from east to west two miles, from the bright waters of Pine Tree to the muddy low-grounds of the Wateree. It embraces the rich alluvial bottoms, the fertile mulatto table land, and the sharp, shiniug, sparkling sandhills, and here and there on all these soils "cotton" sends down its roots and spreads wide its fruitful and beautiful branches. These lots are laughed at by Widencres (brother to Wiseacres,) as patches. We re? ?-? . ? .. Terence patcnes?we nave ?uru mem, m n happier dny, on the knees and scats of our trowsers. We have seen many a noble sol?^?U^| i?'iinjyw> i.- > ing them?and oar dear old grandmother's quilts, were there ever anything more patchy or more beautiful than they, since the days of t: Joseph's coat of many colors ?" Patch us all over with such patches, and wc exclaim, " let him laugh who wins;"' aud, as for you, Mr. iVkleacres, if your plantation were patched all over with such pitchct, you would he r^th/f/rceti to au extent that would protect you from approaching chills of poverty.? But the practical lesson wo wish to learn in this ride i?j that whefa well manured and cultivated, these lots, on alluvial soils, on rich mulatto laud or in the sandhills, produce one bole of cotton to tin: ?<re, worth, aiuce the war $70 to $100 per bale, produced at a cost, average, of less than $20 per baleThe highest we have known any bale so produced, to eost has been $22 per bale. Now then- there lead out of Cam den "the Charleston Koud," ilthc Chosuut Kerry Road," "the Knights' Hill Road," "the Lancaster Road," "the Liberty Hill Road,' "the Chesterfield Road,""the Cheraw Road,'' "the Tillers Ferry Road," "the Darlington Read," "the Rlack River Road," Ac. W'c think we are within reasonable bounds when wc say that there are along said roads within five miles of Camden teu thousand acres (10.000) of unused, unappropriated lands equal to the town lot? lying at the commencement of these respective roads, which, with like treatment, would produce like results ; which can be bought in small farms of 100 and 200 acres at from So to S12 per aero, and which would form delightful homes? water and timber being abundant 011 all, and every locality perfectly healthy, except on the "Charleston Road" and the "River Road," and for these, sandhill retreats arc easily procured. Jt is desirable that wc should consider our * il- -Urvml/l raflnct. that Olir latlds sirengm J nu OUl/WIVI I X/..VVV ___ now tilled and those immediately adjacent to Camden appropriated, all brought info good cultivation would double, at least, the wealth and prosperity of Camden. *11 ail roads and manufactories are desirable, it is true, but if takes time and money to build them?Camden in its extended relations is of great and widespread value, but home productions, home wealth, arc within the reach of our own people immediately; that accomplished, a home retail trade would do At UtaoULProsbytorian Cemetery, which was within the lines of the entrenched camp of die British, I"W?, 17**2, is still to be seen it plain, hrown stone at the bead of a grave, on which is enrved "Agnes of Glasgow ," pluced there while the British were in possession. Tradition hath ?U story connected therewith, but we will not them, for we have often felt ns we have bent over *his n>"tf P"*'* our "w" eonl. etures takinff lhe f'?rtn of consistent, though KEl story and ,*K? is pruKnM, t.ut conjecture "V<*: more to build up Camden than a railroad i carrying through her streets 1 DO,000 bales t of cotton. Indeed, urgently as we advo- i cate all railroad improvements, it is not i that we believe the great transportation and tr.ivel nf these roads will build up Camden, c but they will develope and build up the coun- 1 try and the counties trading to Camden, and that their retail trade will enrich Camden. s Georgetown and Charleston Kail- ( road. The editorial of the Georgetown Planet, t in reference to the above railroad, which we 1 desire to commend, appeals to every citizen i along the route, regardless of politics or ] caste?this is right?this, at least, is a great I subject, common to us all, in which ovcry man, woman and child along the line is interested. who is capable of having any interest at all. No matter what may be the" , colors under which they sail. The in- i dustrious colored man, the Democrat, the t Republican, each has his stake in the pool, ' ; but each must come up to the work as a citi? i?ami nnlitAs nnfc of the * i ZUII, luavm^ iiid vyivi i%uv? ? - ^ j question or it will become a job for some- , body and a bad job for us'. 1 The Planet states the distance from 1 Georgetown to Camden at ninety-six miles, * via Manning and Sumter. Now remember J the railroad distance from Camden to Char, j lotte is one hundred and forty-six miles. , The proposed road runs the whole way on i the dividing ridge between Black River and 1 Santee and its tributaries, a very important ' matter when considered in all its bearings, 1 freedom from freshets, difficult swamps, &o. j Once at Camden, the Planet holds that the { road would be in position to invite connec- c tions important to itself and the country, s at^ most important to those seeking connec- 1 tion. There is Ridgeway, only twenty-three 1 miles from Camden, which would connect ( this road with-Charlotte, with the Chester j and Lenoir Railroad, or by connecting with ? that road from Camden, would join us to r the counties of Gaston, Lincoln, Catawba c ' 7 ' 0 7 ' t and Caldwell, N. C., where ancient history j is yet current, and, the .Planet says, corn t sells at forty cents a bushel aud beef at four ^ ceuts a pound. Oh! the*good old times! c The Planet advocates the policy of letting 1 the connection between Camden and Char. 1 leston wait the current of events. We say. j press on to the head waters of the Catawba, j never give up the "old Waxhaws." We can l never forget our obligation of the past to old t Lancaster, and it shall never be our fault if f alienation comes between us; besides the 1 openings to the sea through Charlotte, Lancaster, Camden, &c., are now wanted by the t Central North and great Northwest. E'Jiw linn i? prrm&Hgt HUBUUflljl ! statement that a narrow guage road can be c built for less than seven thousand dollars c ($7,000) per mile. Wo could demonstrate, t we'think, that if^apitalists fcill buy lands (] along the route to the extent of the cost of ? the road, the road can ho built at a large g profit, from the enhanced value of tho lands, i The price of lands near Railroads is daily ^ ! demonstrating this proposition. There is another position taken by the () Planet, from which we dissent, besides the r ! one as to waiting to let the future decide u our course from Camden; thatis, as to the fear t of entangling alliances. 'We wantpopula- * tion. we want manufactories, wo want capi- 1 1 tal in all the section concerned in this road. I ?.11 ?.ml Kvinir tlmni nil un/t ,ln. J III; 1 <111 luau 1??l? Ml ? V..VU.

Our object is to benefit the /'o/?/', and the'bigger the road you uiake, .and the more extended its connections, the more the people will be benefitted. We hope the days of monopolies are well nigh ended?that they are to be buried in the same grave with jobbing, trading politics?if not, "the intelligence of the people,"< "their capacity for self-government," &c*, is a myth, and it does not mnke much difference when chaos comes again. Wo arc net afraid of Jonah's whale?we are willing to risk it, if lie will. We will find the "gates of Joppa," at which we will make him disgorge.

Mr. Editor: In a recent iss^^u&e Journal, in article appeared over the ot Amicita, vhich readily found its way innermost ecesses of my heart, and a\^F^< emotions hat spring alone from the hol^^md tenderest lources of our aesthetic nature!"*^ The mention of the name onef*ar.8 a 8?8- . eet of interest tothe possessor au^tf? lives not, [ presume, a human being who J0?8 n?i desire o have his name held in estiiBB1011 among his ( 'ellow-beings, and whose aspinw>ns would not ead him to deserve it. But tMfc atd beyond his is the love and pride of anev1*?* and what uere comforting and satisfying*0 *h? human icart than to feel that the authS8*' jour being, le who watched overyour infnifr and directed he current of your life until yjt had reached nan's estate, likewise transm!#^ to you the egncy of a good nume, nnd wastjonorcd among lis compeers for his virtue, an&hat his name ived honored in the memory off cir descendints. This,- however, is virtue'rafcfra^d, and no letter legaoy can any man transf** to his chilIren. It is imperishable and the bound >f time lives to all eternity and bl#8?8 its possessor. This allusion to my respecttti 8ir? has carded my thoughts back to Can*811* and I will low relate some of my reminiJ^11008 of forty rears ago. Camden, as you know, is raynJi*? place, and here I spent the first twenty-qAy?ars of my ife. Among my earliest recoileJPons 18 that of i little, lithe, light-haired boy, jto was one of ny earliest associates. On one pJWcular Saturlay, at my KirkwoOd home, he ?g??8*?d to me o gather up all the little boys, Aites and darties, and he would march them.-Ao sooner sai I haii done, and in a trice he had afotley militia, vitli wooden swords andnewspapw muster hat*, ommanded by "Col.

That day's march through a btf*"n? 8Un ' lot sand satisfied nil of my milit^^a^ifation-. >ut not so with the Colonel; a* often sin? lave I thought that I there saw.^^ahadowe ! he coming man.

Of j lis scholars many have held high positions, an I ,11 as far as .my knowledge extends, hare made ; ;ood citizens and useful ineu. Among the number, in my early school boy lays, wus one wh.o commenced his primer with latfield, and being the only novitiate, he was lonorcd with a sent by Hatfield, and was the bjcct of his particular care in the irftbr'tifl^ ecitation. On this latter account he was often nndc the observed of all observers, fori?esid> s hat subdued hum, incidental to a collection <!'? loys. even in a well regulated school, the s: encc was alone broken by this little boy's no intoned alphabet, and syllables; and while m any if us were pouring over our Greek and Latin, air attention would he diverted to Hatfield an 1 i lis special pet, George. The expression and inonation may he remembered hut "cannot he d< icribed. George is now one of your valued cil ;cns : and although he deliberated for fifty-yents ipon the interesting subject of matrimony b? ore ho entered its holy precincts, yet he h?s ;iven to its first fruits a good name. Among other incidents, I recollect one thi.t | iccurred, in which one of your mobt prominent and highly estegmcd citzens participated. In h s :nse the hoy was father to the uiata. As a hoy ; ic was remarkable for his healthy balance, stulious, thoughtful, jovial, kind, witty and agi e< iblc. The incident referred towns this: On a ainy afternoon, Hatfield not being looked for. ill the boys were romping over the school-room, eaping benches, yelling and thrswiug watei - j nclon rind nt each other. Intheinidstpf Ui" j icllebelloo Hilly walked in, and as there was .t nomcntnry stillness lie remarket!, "tine is to initio of the Rhine."

On the principle that nothing is lost in nature, this holy blood of our heroes will be returned to inspire our children with the spirit of their fathers, and will nbide with us, incorporated .with our native air, perpetuating to remotest generations, the qualities of the Southron. One incident, that happened when I whs about eight years old, and that forms an interesting epoch in the history of Camden, has just occurred to my mind, viz : Lafayette's visit in 1824, and the laying of the corner stone of the DcKalb monument. It is as distinct to my recollection as if it had happened but a day or two sinceThe coffin said to contain the bones of DeKalb I was placed in the yard of the "Lower Bank." that old and honored eitizen, Thomas Salmond, then being President, and 1 witnessed with much interest, the preparation of the cerement in 'tin Knnoj u-ern nlneed. T rpenllpot their going to the Presbyterian Church, where the crowd was so immense, thnt I climbed n tree opposite Henry K. Cook's residence to witness the ceremony in the church-yard, l lie Masons, wii.li the Marquis<le ki Fayette at their head, officiating. J then went to Lufayettc Hall, where I heard Henry G. Nixon deliver his welcoming address, and 1 recollect how well pleased he seemed to be with the duty he had to perform. I recollect too, the seeming pleasure with which Lafayette heard it, and finally, I recollect going to the window of the'hall and seeing my father seated and conversing with Lafayette, (he was, I believe, chairman ?f the reception committee.) I walked in to get some lemonade, when my father called me to him and preseuted me to the General, who patted me on the heud and said something to my father which I did not hear I got away as quick as possible, to get more lemonade, but 1 still feel the impression of thnt pat on my head. From Camden to Kirkwoodand their environs and embracing the Factory pond, (Carter's old nji]l pond,) McKae's old mill, and all the hunting grounds for miles around were as familiar to me as nursery tales; and there is scarcely a piece of ground that my foot has not pressed, nor an object that was not as familiar as my premises now are; and with all of them I have associations that linger lovingly as time glides on. But there is one painful association, that, like the thorn on the rose, pricks?and it is that so man v. of my companions who shared my pleasures, my youthful hopes nnd joys, arc no where on earth to be found. But here hope makes a pleasing suggestion, and it is, that in that land to which we are lending, the thread of life which lime st vers, will be again united, and the purer and happier r -lions of the et In-realized soul will be renewed. This train or reflection brings me to one sacred spot that l_|annytwj'frpp ICDta* lions tlint eren nt thi^lafeday almost oTerpower iue. In tlte old Quaker Bnryiug Ground, may be found two iMimonts, one an obelisk to the memory of Dr. E. H. Anderson, and the other aslabtoCAT amine P., his wife. Their ashes have mingled with your soil, and fixed the name of Camden secin ely in my'affections. Whate'ermny be my fate, or whereevcr I niay be, My soul, dear old Camden, will fondly turn to thee. E. II. ANDERSON. The annual celebration of the heathenish V.oudou rites in New Orleans, took place this year on the eve of St. John's Day, as usual, and created a great excitement among the colored populnii'in'of thatcity. Youdouisnt, which is simply the worship of the devil. lists many followers among the blacks of Louisiana. and the reccurrcncc of the annual -utnmulia is an event which creates a general interest among all classes of negroes, including those oho do not acknowledge to a belief in the superstitions it commemorates and encourages. The believers in' Voudou jiin hold that (bedevil has supreme power to punish, and that he must annually be propitiated with a gi ft, and a festivil held in his honor. At the same time, it is believed ncccessary to entice the demon, by songs and dances, to take possession of the worshipers. after which, by a sudden rush into cold water, lie is driven away, takiug with him all the sins the believers have committed during the pa^tyear. This year, the festival was held at an clbuw on the lake shore, near Bayou St. John, on the edge of a noisome swamp. It took place after dark, by the light of bon fires, and the beastlv orgies, of a nature too shocking to describe, were kept up by a great crowd of negro men and woman during the entire night. A Yoij'tiiku. Brii>k Shoots Herself. ?On Monday morning last a suicide, of most unusual e!i iraotcr in our latitude, took place in Oranitevillo. A youthful bride, only two weeks married, deliberately retired to her chamber, took her seat upon her bed, and. with her husband's pistol, shot herself through the heart. This lady was Mrs. Shealy. formerly Miss Mattie Weeks. 11 or character midst Hiding were unexceptionable, and, to all appi trances, sbc was very happily married. As fir as we can learn, the cause if her rash and terrible act remains a mystery.? A'/vertis* r The Indian tribes of the l ulled States, who are gathered upon reservations have devoued to their exclusive use, in various loealities. nearly 1.'IS,000,000 of acres of land The tracts are generally choice territory, selected liy the 1 it 1 ians themselves. and especially adapted for hunting, on which, outside line Indian territory, the trine# eniettv subsist. The ('n eks, Cherokee#. Cliirkasnws, Choctaw# am! other tribes of that Territory, however, arc y il I'artners, ami their lands aro valuable as agricultural regions. The extent of these reservations may l?o imagined when it is known that there aie about 100 acres for every man. woman ami child living upon them. The great majority of lhe Indians arc at peace with the whites, and all the troubles on the frontier usually occur with a small fraction of the MOO,(100 aborigines who are living within the limits j of the United States. | Id TV'heeling, Va. has a boy who is one of the greatest curiosities of the age. He is half white and half black, not in the mulatto and miscegenation sense, but the lower half of his body is whiter than .vhitc folks usually are. while the upper portion is as.bhick as , midnight. ( His mother is a. coal black Degress He is but three years old, and has already made money out of his peculiarities. There is a round patch, about three inches in diameter, of perfectly beautiful hair "on the top of his head, which is surrounded by little kinky negro's wool. lied Cloud is a modest as well as a "big Injin." He wants 1,100 stand of arms for his young braves, and 100 while squaws to be distributed among hisfribtC. He thinks that if whites take ludian wives red men | should have white ones. Wc fear Red Cloud has rather cloudy ideas as to tho management of Indian affairs from our standpoint. An enterprising chap has just appeared in New York, whose sole occupation is to. teach mocking-birds h'ow to whistle all the popular airs of the day. He has followed this trade for ten yearsj and his countenance is continually on the pucker, while the orifice he calls his mouth resnmblesa small, round knot hole in a shingle. This prevents him from eating a square meal, and his food has to be injected down by the aid of a small sausage stufl'er. Rut he teaches birds to whistle in twelve lessons. / FOUND In the street, near the Episcopal Church* a j Lady's Breast Pin, which the owner can have by ' ' describing, and paying for advertising.
