Thoy have already elected delegates in many precincts to their county convention, which meets in Camden on the 3d of October for the purpose of nominating a ticket fur county officers* That they mean to give us a mighty tussle for the mastery of Kershaw county no longer admits of doubt. But such action on their part but ensures the most perfect organization of our party, and renders our triumph doubly sure. - A Righteous Decision.?United States Commissioner Hallett gave a decision on the 23d instant, in the case of Henry Parr, ordering his discharge. Parr wa9 engaged with others in the capture of the steamer Chesapeake in the name of the Confederate Government during th^ late civil war.

The insurgents were taken in flank aud obliged to retreat nnder a destructive artillery fire. The H Austrian loss was four hundred killed and wounded. The insurgent losss was heavier. Ladies, your attention is called to || the grand opening of Cloaks, Shawls, 1 ano Dress goods, the most elegant ever exhibited in this market. I shall be pleased to show them to Not Kohgottes.?A native, and former resident of Camden r^centl) met one of our prominent citizens while he was traveling, and, in askiog the news from old Catnden. was told, a mens other things, that a new Methodist church was being erected there. He immediately pulled out. a $10 bill and said, "give their that for m}' contribution." Cannot a few more of our former residents do likewise ? T" C* V p?m. 1'iir.r, ci iiuijlo.?i iuiii uiiiiuui missioner Carter we learn that the public schools of this county will not he npeued until November. The board of examiners composed of Mr. Leslie MeCandless, Capt. J. IV. Jamison and the Commissioner, will meet on the 21st of October, when teachers now holding certificates of qualification will be required to appear before the board for re-examination. Which is Necessary.?A few weeks ago a combination of circumstances caused our cotton market to be a little weak. Evil report spreads fast, and we hrve heard that there have heen several farmers in Darlington, Sumter. and other counties surrounding this market, who have carried a bale or two of their cotton elsewhere to try the market. Planters who have been here lately can testify that the price they obtained was better than could be gotton anywhere in \ the interior. Our duty as a correct disseminator of j news requires us to say to our farmer triends that Camden still continues to be the best cotton market in the whole up-country. Tiie Barrett CoNTRiBUTio.v.-Both | of the volunteer military organizations of Columbia have held meetings to consider the proposition of Major Barrett,) formerly of Camden, that Ih?y should | have a drill at the Opera House for the Major's generous contribution?two solid silver goblets. Committees of two have been appointed to make the necessary arrangements. The drill is to be between two squads of eight men from each company, and it will take place at the Opera House on the evening of the 27th.

Tijat Balloon.?A good deal of: incitement was created in Camden on j the eveuiofr of Hampton day (lust Wed-1 nesdffy) by a small balloon. It was known by very fJw persons that such ' a thing was to be sent up. Hence the surprise. One geutlemau.on seeing it. thought thnt some <T?ut, astronomical event was about to take place, as lie saw what be supposed to be a star approach iug another, and he ran to get his telescopo to view the collision ; but. before he returned, the supposed star had passed the other, aud by the aid of the telescopo he then discovered that it was a balloon floating through space. Another man thought it was a burning comet. One said it was an terolite, as he had heard the report of an explosion, and that was one of the pieces coining to the earth. A darkey who saw it was so frightened lie hardly knew what to do, but said : "0 lord, dars 'Lijah come back in his O - ' ' -4 ??> njArl/I tclint cry Cliunui IU UUlll up uic nuiiu^ TT??* shall I do We are all pone new. No niorp publican meeting for us. I want to be an angel, etc." One of his friends who happened to rce him, and who knew what it was, knocked him over, and told him not to make a foot of himself. It was nothing but a balloon. He said "he didn't know. Ho was so scared." Lemon Thomas was drilling his company when one of bis men saw it. and | called the attentiou of the others to it.

Baruch. x Captured AgainMr. Editor : Knowing the intere? that not only yourself but the man readers ^f qbe old journal feel i everything that affects the welfare o our county, I will write you a brief ac count of a meeting that was held a Oureton's Mill on Saturday last? ' i? ?i. meeting mat tva* u^ijiuimcu uj u< Radicals, but captured by the Demc crats. Haviug a few weeks before been mr and answered at Holland Harris' Schot Hous?. the Radical leaders endeavore t? get up the meeting at Cureton' Mill without the knowledge of their op ponents; but, like murder, it woul out. and. instead of having it all t themselves, they were confronted b about seventy-five "red shirt" Demi crats, who called lor and got a divisio ?f"TKnfr rlio Ttnftif.il hfidlioli! Ul t.IliC cwere badly demoralized by the untj p?cted uppetirance of so inmy of tf "untcrriiied," was manifest, and frni the first it was clearly evident that wit us it was to be a simple matter of askin nnd receiving. Some of the colore men, who hnve always been noted fr | their extreme views and hatred of tl whites, suddenly became perfect polite, nnd. bad the polls be<>n opei would without the slighest hesitatic have voted the straight Democrat ticket from Governor down to Oorone Others were less demonstrative, while few thought it was a "pretty come ( dat de Publicans couldn't hah a meet wid out de Democracks coinin to it disbere way." The meeting elected del gates to the Republican County Conve tion, which meets in Camden on the 3 of October, and it was organized witho mnleatnfion from the Democrats. T , delegatea were chosen ?nine color i nnd one white man, the last nam : being one Mr. John 0. Williams, w was raised in the upper portion of K( | shaw county, who comes from a go family, but who of late years has wa ! dered fur away and become desperatt | demoralized politically. If his new i ! sociates can reclaim him, and get a j good out of him, they will indeed ha accomplished a wonder. The business of the meeting havi ! been transacted speaking was next order, and Mr. Abe Rabon, who in 1 ! old age has become a most effecti * 3 -1 -_. .../I n odflroqil , I Stumper, Ueilvric'i a nmog , his own pecular earnest, pointed a 11 original style To quote the words j one of one of his friends uDd was prese ! ' Old Ab? talked with the bark 01 '; The next speaker was Jurncs L. Thou i son, the colored Radical pricinct cho j man, who spoke as well as he could . his side, considering the terrible "la pi hasting" lie >^pt at Holland Harris' t I weeks before. He had toned do i <:really, and said but little against l . i Democratic party. He was answet i! by Mr. Thomas R. Cantey, who ma ! au eloquent and forcible speech, prcsc I ins in at) unanswerable manner I "j claims of llie Democratic party uj ! i the colored people for support. At I conclusion of Mr. Gantey's nddrt , Wesley Saltnond, a young; colored ir I who has lately imicratpd from Richie to Kershaw county, and who from accent and side whiskers would - taken for a candidate for uiiniste: f honors, was trotted out. He did deliver the speech which he had evide ly prepared, lie, too, having been at ' meeting at Holland Harris' and hav s there learned that the time has pas wbcu Radical speakers can jjet up Kershaw eounty and abuse the gooc 1D- people of the county with impuni ty. He held thp floor for abont thirty minutes but said little or nothing foi P'e or spain?t any man or party of men This discu;iftion was then closed by Mr rill H. Tranthaui, our county Chairman who in n speech of three quarters of an | hour's length covered the whole ground, bis mpeting successfully every argument that hail been ndvanced by Thompson . and Sultnond. and convincing all present 01 who^e^ minds could be influenced by the power of reasoning that the Democralic party is emphatically the party ^e not of the poor man alone, but of all good citizens, and showing the Republican even of ordinary intelligence he can iw longer oppose its progress without cr having both his 'good sense and his honesty questioned. Mr. Trnntham's remarks, which elicited frequent apse plause from the Democrats, made a pe profound impression upon the Radicals, and especially whe n he said : "By the ? Providence cf God we are here together. ? and here we must stay; and as we dwell it upon the same soil, drink from the same springs, breathe the same atmosphere, . and bask in the light of the same snn, so are our interests inseparable. For 1" the sake of peace and harmony, which are far better than contention nnd ^ strife, wc invite, wo urge you to unite with us. Come with us if you choose, r" but stay away if you like. It is just as you please?not that we care. But unh derstand that, with or with or without you, we shall move constantly and surely forward to the fulfillment of our grand mission. I know whereof I speak. Two le thousand and five Democrats already eua. rolled, one hundred who have not connected themselves with clubs, and five hundred men who are coming over to di us from the ranks of the Radical party al will do the work, and when the sun sets _ on the 5th of November it will be upon a triumphant Democracy, and upon a county forever relieved from the curse ig of radicalism." ig Mr. Trnntbam also paid his respects r,. to cortain gentlemen on Western \Va? teree who are said to have independent proclivities. He told the colored peoid plf (hat if. at any stage of the game. ?) there was any man in the Democratic n party, who because he wanted office and couldn't get it. or for any other cause, wanted to leave his own people, he was at liberty to go. and the Radicals" were 3, welcome to all such cattle. All of the Democratic speeches were listened to with marked attention by th? colored men present, who were palpably dip? J gusted with tlmir own speakers when 3, convicted of making false statements, f and made to acknowledge that they were false. ,r Western Wateree will be all right on the day of the election.
