Rides About Camden.
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^|

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

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

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.

! 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.

forces witli any oi" tlie great roads willing to
connect with us. 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.

are willing to risk it, if lie will. We will

does come from heathen mythology : " Let

We publish with pleasure the following j
nommiinifHiion from our esteemed friend.1
Dr. K. II. Anderson, of Mississippi.
A simple, yet touching incident in one 1
of our Churches recently, moved our cor- 1
respondent, " Amir it ?t," to refer to the '
late Dr. Kdward II. Anderson, and this
awoke a tender chord and a responsive echo f
froyi the distant Mississippi. , v
So may it ever be?union among the sons j
of the South may seein to do little for the
'present, but union of sentiment and a fleetion,
cherishing the noble and sacred past
may preserve much of its tone and civilize-:
tion, and yet redeem the future. u

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- .

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

egncy of a good nume, nnd wastjonorcd among

This,- however, is virtue'rafcfra^d, and no

It is imperishable and the bound

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. Three,"wiw* r??? with a
ick, slick, stee,
Tigh bob, low boh, Col. Three." .'
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. It was thisindoiti*ble, pluck/

n life led liiin to Mexico, and aifwarda man;ested
itself on the lmnks of Di^^un ant^ at *

r of high scholastic attainments, a strict di*iplinartan
and a gentleman, and o&e whostrovj j
o inspire his scholars with a Jots for learning,
he school was in a flourishing condition. 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

propitiatory sacrifice for our national sins, and in
good time, if \vcbe*true to o.urselves, will inure
to our benefit. 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.

The Indian tribes of the l ulled States,
