Capt. John Kelly works the Waterees aud Capt. John McLeod the iSunny Sides. We will give the result ?<>f the game in our next issue. Storks' Bridoe.?Our latest ad vices from Stoke?' llridgo report everything resuming its usual rjuict there, no other collisions having occurred since the killing of Mr. Kmberrv Wood ham. The Darlington Southerner of last week gives an account of the affair somewhat different from our report, but we have been informed by parties who know ibat our account was correct. A Mistake.? In our report las of the damages of the great rain, wo mentioned among other* that the dam of Mr. J, H. Vaughn had been blown up, but neirlected to say that it was tbo dam to the pond which runs his cotton gin. Not having made this qualification, some persons got the impression that we had reference to Mr Vaughn's flour and grift tnill dam. Wc hasten to rectify the mistake, and to appoligiza to Mr. Vaughau for any in? conveuionco it may have causpd him Hisl 'wer daji will he rppaireu in time lor tbo cotton crop. Kelly's Bridge.?The contract fer building a new bridge across Lynches Creek at Kelly's, has been awarded to Mr. Spencer Galloway, of Darlington county, for ?470. The new structure will be about one hundred yards below the present one, which necessitates the cutting of a new road for a short distance on each side of the creek. Mr. Galloway commences work this week, and hopes to finish the bridge in forty days. A Protection.?Messrs. Tho9. W. Lang, V. S. Jordan and T. C. DuBose have had a large force at work for some time engaged in reconstructing the head dam which protects thoir crops from the rirer. Sixty-two hands and twenty-eight mules are e\upNved, and the work is expected to b? finished in about a week more. Runaway.?One of Cnpt. W. L. DePass' horses attached to a spring wagon, in which were tho Captain and his eon Johnny, became frightened last rhursday and ran away. Before the horse could be stopped, the Captain was throwu from the wagon undor the wheels, one of which passed over him. We regret to state that he received injuries which will confine him to his bed for a few days. Sawney's Creek.?"We understand ;hat an orgauized effort will be made by '1- - f- ? ?- ? ? J? tk*4 niAintttt ft IIIC 1UIUJUIB III iuat w iviii it jr tv uutv ? bridge erected across Sawney's creek. As this is a very dangerous stream to ford in rainy weather, it is a matter of public.safety tha* a bridge should be built across it. The corn crops along the bottoms on tbis'eccontricstream were ireatly injured by the recent heavy rains. Married.?On the morning of the 22nd instant, at the residence of the bride's father, in Camden, by Rev. S. EI. Hay, Mr. R. A. Shields, of Memphis, Tenn.,and Miss Agnes, youngest laughter of John K. Wilherspoou, Esq., of Gamden S. 0. Shortly after :he ceremony, the happy couple left by private conveyance for Columbia, from whence they will proceed to white Sulphur springs, Virginia, then to pass the honeymoon. EbenezeR club ?In pursuanco of i notice previously given, there was a Meeting held at Ebeoezcr church on Saturday, the 17th of August, for the purpose of organizing a Democratic club \fter enrolling the names of fifty-threo members the following gentlemen were elected officers: A A Iluekabee. Presilent; Wm Branbam and W G Huckabee, Vice Presidents,* J J Bell, Sccrc:ary; H R McKain, Corresponding Sec etary. Tiie K. G's?Twenty-three men composed the rank and file of the Kershaw Guards in their drill last Thursday, but, if they had been as large a9 a regiment, no more pains could have been taken by Capt. Lang to perfect hie company. To us it looked as if ho carried them through all the manoeuvres laid down in the books, eren to the double quick. The " awkward squad " was worked hard by Corporal Villi* pigue, and exhibited signs of rapid im' rnwment. r Revision ok Club Lists.?A committee of conference was appointed by Camden and DeKalb Democratic clubs last week, whose duty has been to revise and compare the lists of the clubs to ascertain the bona fide membership of each. The committee found that there were thirty names on both lists, which they proceeded to divido between tbem, according to the best of their knowledge and belief. The settlement gives each club a sufficient number to entitle them to the numbsr of delegates elected, which is six. Christians in Camp.?The annual camp-meeting at Salem Camp Ground commenced last Thursday and lasted to Sunday night. We learn that the meeting was both interesting and well attended. The camp-mecting at the Gully camp ground, Darlington county, commences Saturday. W? learn that a new camp ground has been established across Lynches I Creek, nearly on the line of Chesterfield nod Darlington counties, but have not heard its name. A protracted meeting of several days' duration was held at Sandy Grove Church last week. A Parade.?The Ellis Guards, colored, of Camden, and a colored company from the country, joined together in a parade through the streets on last Saturday. They were commanded by Capt. Lemon Thomas, of the Khin Guards, who rode a horse. Just what rank Lemon was supposed to occupy by brevet at the time we cannot say. He looked too grand for a major, and not grand enough for a quartermaster; aud so we will have to locate his rank as a sort of compromise between a brigadiei general and an aiile-Je-eantp. Tho parade, upon the whole, was quite a nov> elty. and showed thnt Gapt. Thomaf has bis uii'u under pretty good control. Struck Uy Lightning.? l>urin th? prevalence of the thunder stun last Tuesday, the residence of Col. 1 J. Ancrurn, on Fair street was struc by lightning, the bolt entering on th northeast cellar room and expending it force, apparently, on the southeast rool which was set on Are. Mr. W. A. An crum. with the assistance of others, sue ceeded in putting out the flames befor any serious damage was done. Fortu nately nenc of the family were in th< direction of the lightning, and beyonc th? shock of the concussion, receive; no injury. This is the second time tha ' a residence of Col. Ancrum has beet struck by lightning, his houso in Kirk wood having heon considerably iniured ..vv- ?? ?a ?# several years ago. A Choice Scoundrel.?A gentleman from Lancaster county was in Camden on last Friday, in search of a man by the name of Blackman, who lives in the Haile Mine section, and who eloped with his step daughter, first having sold his crop tor fifty dollars and stole hia wife's horse. He left, his wife and four children without any means of support. Blackman, whose Christian name we could not learn, passed through Camden Wednesday with his paramour, and tried to sell the horse to several persons, stating that he was on his way to Georgia. The gentleman above alluded to, at the request of the deserted wife, was after the stolen horse, rather than the man. A Suggestion.?The convention which meets here on Thursday to nominate candidates for the different county officers within the gift of the people, is regarded as carrying with it the sentiment of the people in these matters, and, as far as it is possible, they do. The law which makes the offices of County Auditor, Treasurer and Trial Justices appointive is essentially wrong. These offices belong as much to the bestowal of the people as those which are to be voted for on Thursday. We therefore suggest that the convention, when its legitimate work bo finished, proceed to vote for nominees to their offices we have mentioned, and let the names of the successful candidates go to Gov. ?' - .+\ a! A 1 Hampton, ac mc proper nine, as me only recommendation whioh he should consider in his appointments. Wo be* lieve that this is the fairest way that these offices at present ran be filled, and will also relieve the Governor from the possible responsibility of foisting upon tho community arc unacceptable man. Delegates.?The following is a list of the delegates elected by the several clubs since our last issue: Camden?J D Dunlap, C J McDow-. ell. II 0 Kennedy, J E Vaughan, J W McCurry. H G Garrison.

River Crops.?The crop along the Wateree river are unusuall fino, and, unless a freshet or some otlu untoward event occurs, more corn, col ton and rice will be harvested this yea than for many years past. Throug tbo courtesy of Mr. Herman Baum w have rocently had the pleasuro of visi ing the splendid plantation of Messr Baum Bros., which is situated on tti western side of tho river and withi a half hour's drivo of the town. Ilei wo saw much that was pleasing to th eye. We came first to tho cottoi which was in excellent condition, an which extondod almost as far as tl eye could reach. It Is estimated this the yield will hardly fall short of thre hundred bales. We next came to. tl lot, and there was a scene that woul have cheered the hearts of Old Laba - - - ? ? 1 1 and Jacob?one hundred ana nny nca of cattle which appearod an if they woi just from the Valley of Virpini i Arnnnp the number were some forty < more milch cows with culves from ot week to fiur months old. These ai i carefully attended to, the cows hein , milked every evening For the su] port of thcHe animals there is a larj i pasture of several hundred acres, su rounded by a substantial fence, and o: tending from tho lot back towards tl river. From this herd of cattle, wbit i is constantly increasing, some forty i J fifty boeVt'B are sold anuually. Tl ? next thing of interest was the corn, of n which there aro two hundred and ten \ acres of as good as ever grew on the k river. It is estimated that the yield e will average fifty bushels per acre. Bes ing already made, nnd on ground that F, is out of the reach of the highest freshe ? this corn may be considered safe. Ma. Bauui next showed us his drove] e ; of Berkshire hogs, to which much at j tion is being given. The cholera got e among them last year and played havoc. 1 The prospect is more favorable this ] year, and it is confidently expected that t by the raising of swine anew mine of i wealth will be developed. The Messrs. Baum, who, ualikc the I late Horace Greely, have themselves but little practical knowledge of farming, display their wisdom, by securing ahd retaining the services of the be6t manager to be found, Mr. Lewis M. Waits, and entrusting to his case and skill the immediate control of ther val| uable plantation. And wo are glad to say that, from information received by us, what we have said concerning the corn and cotton of the Messrs. Pauui may also be applied to similar crops of most of the planters along the Watejee. Indeed, if no freshet or other accident occurs, the price of corn will be low next year, and those planters will have their pockets filled with cash?the net proceeds of their cotton crops. Personal.?Mr. W. A. Ancrum has returned from his trip to the mountains. " rr u v. ?:..~J ' J.UI". XI. JJiirucu uirivcu in ntn xvib last week, from his trip to Paris.

The parpose of his visit is described elsewhere in these columns under the head of ? "married." Dr. I. H* Alexander announces that he will remain in Camden only a short time longer, and thoso who wish anything dono in his lino would do well to ' call at once. r The members of the " Old Seventh" I South Carolina Cavalry will bo glad to know that their gallant comrade, Lieut.

Mr. W. F.

The collision of two fust driven bug* gieson Market street Wednesday night, resulted in a pretty bad wreck for one of them. Mr. W. IJ. Ellis has added considerably to the attraction of his establishment by decorating his bar and ceiling with beautiful festoons of fancy colored paper. A road commissioner says that if the road between Gamden and Adams' mill is not worked before Court convenes. be intends to report it to the Grand Jury. Fashion takes another change, and tight>fitting dresses are to be replaced by the " bouffante '' style, which means a combination of puffs, tho " panicr " and the crinoline. Will our neighbor of the Columbia Register please notice that neither the former nor the present proprietor of the Camden Journal have names which commence with a big B ? Last Saturday Judge Sutherland said : ' The Scriptures says you must answer a tool according to his folly, but there are some fools about hero that I don't think should be answered at all." Tho reason why that young man took the middle of the street Sunday night before last, was because he had a rival, and he heard that his rival had set a torpedo on the sidewalk to blow him up. The man who cursed so that ha stuck in the grouud bas now gone to Baruwell county, according to a correspondent of the Neics and Courier. Wo are glad that he has left this part of the country. A young man deliberately walked into our office last Wednesday and said that ho had been dreaming of riding in carriages for several nights in succes vi'od. He could not account for the fact until he discovered that his bed was a little buggy. Commissioner Raum has issued in' structions that none but men of respectability, honesty and discretion be appointed as Deputy U. S. Marshals. We wonder if Marshal Wallace had these instructions in his mind when he appointed Dcmus Brown field of Kershaw County. As wc stepped into a prominent grocery store last Wednesday, we heard one of the clerks chanting tho following while he gently wrapped up some crockery for a customer : 'I'd like to be an Esquimaux, ,\nd live on cakes and ice; I'd mix milk punohou all tbo day, So naughty, but so nice." Terrible Ravages of the Yellow Fever in the West. New On leans, August 23.?There are 143 new cases and 40 deaths today, and no abatement in the disease. Fifty thousand people have left the city since the breaking out of the fever. Twenty-five per cent, of those taken sick have died. Aid has been sent from all parts of the country, both in money and nurses, for the sick. The fever has reached Plaquemine. In Grenada it is said the situation is still growing worse, and to-night a new list of horrors is added to the record. In the first place there arc seventy-five fresh cases of negroes down with the fever, and about fifteen deaths. The colored people will not wait upon each other, nor will they submit to tieatment, and, as they are unmanageable, they have it all to themselves. There are no physioians, nurses or medicines for them, and their condition is, indeed, a doplorable one. Their services us waiters and nurses have been sadly missed to-day. There are many patients without attendance of auy kind. To describe the scene is beyond the power of mortal man. Later.?Gen. W. J. Smith, vicepresident of the Howard Association of Memphis, is stricken down with the fever. The negroes arc demoralized, and the stores are being robbed. There were five deaths in the past twenty-four hours, and a few new cases, principally women and children. Eighteen New Orleans nurses have arrived. The secretary of war has ordered two hundred tents here. There are only twenty active men in the town, and tho agony and suffering of the sick is beyond description.
