We call attention to the commnnieation of "Seoex" in refereooe to the . \bridges on Lynches creek. The subject is an important one, as the condition of those bridges affeets very ma terially the trade of Camden; Pine Tree.?A meeting of Pine Tree Democratic Clnb was he'd on 8atorday. Messrs. J. W. DePass, and J. T. Hay, of Camden, and J. J. Josey, of Turkey Creek, were present by invitation and delivered rousing addresses upon the politicalsituation.

Mickle have been appointed a committee at Camden, and Messrs. L. J. Patterson, L. P. Stephenson and J. l.Trantham at Flat Rock, to receive subscriptions to the capital stock of the Georgetown Railroad Company. New Club.?As will be seen in onr Rnssoll Placo correspondence, a new Democratic Club has been organised at Dye's Mill, to bo known as Beaver Creek Democratic Club, with that sterling young planter and staunch Democrat, Peter T. Twitty, Esq., as president. Beaver Creek Club contains good materia!, and will render effective servico during tbo campaign. Save jour children from a horrible death by worma.

Hyatt, Levi Holland, Jacob Katz, B. T. Mc L'oy, Uolin WcKae, ?j. v. MCi?owau, Jerry Mc Clair, John McCaa, A. L. Monroe, W. R, Nelson, Dove Segars, Son., John M. Shaw, 0. M. Tamer, W. H. Ward and Tbos. G. West. I ^ { Antioch.?At a meeting of Anti- j och Democratic clab on Saturday even- ( ing, Capt. T. H. Clarke, who was pre#- , ent by special invitation, delivered a capital campaign address. The atten- ! dance was large, many ladies gracing j the ooccasion with their presence, and ^ much good feeling prevailed. We re- | gret that the want of space prevents US j from giving a report of Capt. Clarke's | speech. ? *'*- - - - j Tndionant.?Those men were indig- 1 nant the other day when they read the j letter of a prominent State official tell- e ! iL.i ll It i I) , log men) inai tnej "uauuui<. no uudcrstand the official is a candidate for renomination. If such be the case, we wpnld advise him to make haste and inform those boys that they "can." Otherwise, ho will not get the vote of Kershaw, if tbeir influence can prevent it. U. S. Court.?A number of persons from Korehaw have been tried in the U. S. District Court, now sitting in Charleston, with the following result: Simon Mcllwain, colored, convicted of perjury; Joseph Daren, George Dnren, Robert Dye, and Henry Stover, all oolored, indicted for perjury, were placed upon trial, but the jury tailed to agree upon a verdict, and a mistrial was orlered in their case; Dial R. Flayer, pleaded guilty of having retailed whiskey aud tobacco without lioense. Frost .-Farmers generally were badly frightened on Thursday evening last, the wind having shifted to almost due north, the sky being as clear as crystal,1' sod the mercury dropping far down to? - . ill J* ?_l T wards freezing point, aii were leariui r that corn, cotton, vegetables, fruit snd i 10 forth would go up before morning. But morning came, and with it only a 0 light frost ic some places, which did t but little damage. It is now thought f that we will not have another frost "un- t til the full moon in October." Let it Alone.?Deputy U. S. Mar- J shal John A. Boswell received a letter * from Collector Bray too stating that is a violation of the Internal Revenue law for planters to keep tobacco on hand for their employees and let them have it at J cost. We do not believe the Courts c would sustain suoh a construction of the law, for a person keeping in bis possession a box of tobacco or less for ^ the purpose mentioned, and disposing of 1 it withont profit, cannot be regarded as a "dealer" in the article, Still it may i be well for those ooncerned to keep . their eyes open. Pic Ntc.?The pic nic given at Du? Bose's Mill on thursday last was a de- 1 cided sucoess in every particular. At an early hour a small party leil Camden e and reached the mill about 10:30 o'clook. t They were joined by friends out there, t and the usual pleasures of suoh occasions i were enjoyed to the fullest extent?that of fishing, riding on the water, gathering c flowers, telling tales, etc., and last, but ] not least, a most elegant dinner. Tbe parties from Camden did not return until a late hoar ; bat tbey all agreed that the day spent out there was long to be remembered as one of the most pleasant of this season. Annual Parade.?The annual parade of tba firo department, under the direction of Chief Goodale, took place on the evening of tho 13th instant, the procession forming at the intersection of Broad and York Streets, and, preceded by the Helicon Band, marching np tbo former to DeKalb, thence countermarching to in front of the market, where the several companies were reviewed by the honorable intendant and wardens of the town. The review - A .4 Al_ _ i was in every respect sausiaciory, too companies being full, and the engines in perfeet order. Diath.?Wilson Williams, a well known and most reliable colored oitireo of Camden, died on Sunday evening after a protracted illness. Of bim it can be said that be was an honest man. Though born and reared a slave, he did not, when suffrage was given to bis race, abuse his citizenship by allying himself with the political adventurers who took possession of the oountry immediately after reconstruction. On the contrary, bo thought and acted always with the bite people, whose respect and confio dence he commanded to the time of his death. Wo may well say a good citizen and on boncfet man if gone. \. / .. v amdtBS 'J "fa. Kra - Genuine Patriotism.?We learn from a friend that the aged and venerable Mr. Jas. Team, whose locks are now whitened by the frosts of nearly eighty winters, and whose life has been one of reotitnde, declares that, while he thinks it an outrage that the Goreton Mill box has }>een abolished, nevertheless he intends next November, if his life shall be spared, to come to Gamden and vote for Hampton, if he has to be brought upon a pallet in a wagon. He has been confined by illness to his house for several months. This ringB like the true metal. We wish him a speedy restoration to health. Kershaw Represented.-^ is with pleasuro that wo clip from a late copy the Spartanburg Herald the follow- ' ing item, in which complimentary alia? i iion is made to one of Kershaw's fair 1 Janphters : The pupils ef the Mule and Female 1 Schools of Reidville, we learn from from 1 i friend who attended, had a pleasant J PioNic at the mill near Reidville on ] last Friday, which was attended by a i arge number of the patrons and < Yienda of the two schools. After the sic-nio an impromptu target and queen ( Towuing was gotten up at which Mr. i VfcKewn Johnstone jr., proved to be he best shot and had the honor 6f irowning Miss Floride Perry, a beauti'ul youog lady from Liberty Hill, Kerihaw Connty. At night a reception was } liven at the chapol of the female Oolege which was enjoyed by the yonng ( oiks, and at which the assemblage was reated to exquisite music by tbe teach* :ri and pnpils af the College. 1 Camden Orphan Society.?The ] innnal meeting ?f tbe Camden Orphan Jooiety was held at tho office of Messrs. [jeitner & Dunlap yesterday, and the ollowing offioera elected for the ensung year; 1 Maj J M DeSaussure, President; )r J A Young, 8r Warden; Dr A A i doore, Jr Warden; J D Dunlap, ) '1. -.J , 7CVICUlIJf anu A.

M. ' WM.D. TRANTnAM, County Chairman. I The Sons of Temperance. Mr. Editor: I cannot let the oppor. lunity pass without calling to the notico of 1 he good people of (hie community that .hey hare in their midst an Order which ins done and is doing more for the ameliora- 1 tinn nf the condition of the abandoned t lrunkard titan any other organisation of he kind in the land. I refer, of ccarse, to ' he'Order of the Sons of Temperance. The ( meetings of Wateree Division No 9 are as regularly held as the night of each Monday in the week comes around. Men. noble md true, with women fair and devoted to the } principles of the good cnuse, regularly as. 1 tenable at their hall, and by their united ] presence seek to woo the young from their :ups and the middle aged from his un- 1 teeraly dissipation. The presence of the , levoted ladies alone at each meeting lends [o the oocasion an interest unmistakable | besides which, their contributions in the ihape of reading matter of proso and poe- 1 try of a character suitable to enforce some < useful lesson, or containing some thrilling incident of woe and misery produced 1 by add much to the entertainment of | the evening. Nor Is this all. Ever ind anon they vary the interest taken 1 in the meetings of the Division by gits i ' '* - ; .... i Lag sociable entertainments, to. .which all I of the families of members are invited. Such an one was held at the Hall of Mr. James JoneVon Wednesday evening last. A gentleman, by the way, who Is always publio spirited, and every ready to contribute the use of anything he has for the publio good. When the writer arrived at the hall be was surprised to find it crowded with about two hundred ladies and gentleman. But l'ttle time elapsed, however, when a full band of music, under the leadership of Ben Timbers, struck up a lively air and announced with thrilling effect the welcome words : "gentlemen choose your partners for a quadrille." Then, Mr. Editor, commenced a scene of enjoyment and pleasure which will need a more gifted pen than I have to depiot. Suffice it to say they kept it up until the gray streaks of dawn' announced that another day was about to demand her own before they retired from pleasures weary march to seek their tardy couches. But another feature of this merry-making deserves a passing notice, and that was the supper. Now, Mr, Editor, I am not disposed fo exaggerate; but turkeys, ducks, geese, chickens, hams, sardines, oysters, salads, cakes, etc., and snoh a quantity that it beggars description, all or which was washed down with good iced lemonade end?the best of all?good icecream. Take this occasion through, it was one of the most pleasant evenings the writer has enoybd for a long time. And for all of this pleasant entertainsent is the Division indebted to its lady ? r j u.. n .... nemoera. mrs oihn ??. uu ian.u. ?ci< !Terywher? waiting upon the tabic, and Mrs. S. and Mrs. G. were likewise earnest n their offsets to make the occasions a suo>ess; and a success ft was, decidedly and >eyond a doubt. .. . BREVITIES. Labor abundant and cheap every, rhere. Tho corn is waving in some portions if the county. Crops are tolerably promising in (Veetern Wateree. Who will bring us the first tomato ? Don't all come at ooce. The Lancaster and Tiller's Ferry nails arrive now on time. The Board of County Commissioners rill meet on Thorsday next. A railroad from Camden to Ridgeray is now being disonseed. The wheat crop in this section has >een badly damaged by the rust. Help a poor and needy brother pulling isrd against the stream; won't you ?! The proepect of an abundant fruit rop of every kind this year is favorble. The travel over the bridge is undininished on account of its being a toll nridge. Vegetables of nearly every desoripion have made their appearance in this narket. New "probable" candidates are heard ?f almost daily. The "avowed" are ew and far between. Pay one half of your taxes during the aonth of May, or the whole amount in )ctober, with interest at five per cent. Many farmers are planting their coton over, the cutworms having detroyod the stand from the first plantng. A man with the blaokest' whiskers re ever saw spent Sunday in Camden, ie was a drummer, but used no dye* tuffs. The doctors are kept right busy in his section, there being considerable lickness of one kind and another among he people. When a young man oomes away from i frolic and forgets the name of the ady he danced with, what ought to be lone with him ? The idea of a fire or ten thousand lollar poatoffice in Camden makes the irerage bricklayer leap with joy. Let is work to get the office. A few thousands floating around as ztra cash, or any other kind of cash, rould, we are sure, lighten the burdens if many and drive dull care from their tomes.

The operators in turpentine seem to >e doing a thriving business. Wagons oaded with the article pass daily through our streets on their way to tho boat or the depot. It is said that General Kennedy, in bis address befere the Governor's Guards of Colombia on the evening of :he 15th instant, fairly walked away with bis audience. Primaries or no primaries is the go iow. But all seem determined to ao:ept as final the settlement of the ques* ion, and to work unceasingly for the luccess of the party. We surrender much of our space this reek to the admirable address delivered ay General Chesnut on Memorial Day. [t is a fine production and will be read with intense interest by old Confederites and their nta dcscenda everywhere. The people of the county are diseus? sing the subject of primary olections with some warmth, but all bavo the same object in view?the success of the party in the next election, and to that cud nil will harmonize, however the rubje'ert may b'e decided. * "v..,: v Beulnli Democratic Club met Saturday evening, May lltb, and adopted the following resolutions : That Beulah Democratic Club Resolve that nine members constitute a quorum to transact business. Hiram Nettles and J. W. Murchicon were elected additional members of the Executive Committee. Theolub then adjourned to meet at Mr. Burt's steam mill en Saturday evening, May 25th, at 3 o'clock P. M. From Beaver Creek. Mb. Epitok ; According to previous notice the Democratic voters residing in the vicinity of Dye's Mill met on Saturday the 11th inst., at Dye's Mill, for the purpose of organising a Democratic Club. The meeting organized by calling James B. Magill, Esq., to the chair and requesting Peter T. Twitty, Esq., to act as Secretary. On motion of A. H.

Jambs R. Maoiil, Seoty. From Tiller's Ferry. Mb. Editor : Since the late county convention polities have not been much attended to, for people out here learned long ago that 'he that by the plough would thrive must mmseir euner noiu or ann. That which concerns us most, just now, is t the damage done to the cotton and wheat { crops: that to the former by cut-worms and to the latter by rust. 1 Perhaps it would not be amiss to men- f tion that the opposition to Primary Elections has gained strength since the meet- ( ing of the convention; the why's or where- } fores I do not now propose to state. t I took a trip on Monday .last to Darlington C. H., and the first object that 4 claimed attention was Kelley's Bridge on Lynches Greek, a miserable trap on whioh people often have to risk themselves and their property in attending to their legitimate business, and I am told that Gardner's and Stoke's are no better. I was told that the Darlington Board are ready to rebuild Kelley's Bridge and are only waiting on the Kershaw Board to join them in the work. In fkct, I was requested to inform, perhaps they said request, our chairman to attend to the matter forthwith, as the Bridge must be rebuilt. The Board will therefore <*take due notice and govern itself accordingly." Kelley's Bridge is op- ' posits a fine farming country in Darlington, and its importance to Oamdcn certainly is 1 not generally known ; there is bnf a moiety J of the produce raised over there that ever finds its way to Oamden. It is either sold at other points or shipped to Charleston by the Oheraw & Darlington R. R.f and North Eastern R. R. I was told by a prominent gentleman in the neighborhood of Hartsville that, owing to the exorbitant freights charged by the roads over there, he believed all the cotton raised in that neigh- j borhoqd would be hauled to Camden ir there was a sni table bridge on the creek, and that the people would save money by so doing?this Bridge should be rebuilt at all hamrds, before the present crop will be ready for market; and why can it not be done ? Has all the Bridge Tax collected daring the last ten years, been expended on that imposition of a concern formerly called the Wateree Free Bridge T t Well, I must close as to the Bridge. I 1 did expect to have ''something to say ' about the ravages of the cat worms in Dar- l lington also something about the broad 1 fields of cotton and small patohes of corn, also what they think of the politioal outlook, and also what they think of primary elections; but time and space will not allow me to dilate just now on these subjects.
