From Auerusta.
A most disgraceful aifair^f mob violence
4ranspired,on yesterday morning, which, we
trust, .for^lie honor of our soldiers and the
fair fame of the crty, will never be repeated.,
The sacking of the Government stores would
have been proper enough had there boon anything
like fairncss-in the plunder of the property.
As it was, a most unequal distribution
was made of the spoils, and the parties engaged
in the action hav.c done great injury to
their follow soldiers who have yet to at rive.
We do not believe that many of those iin
plicated were of Lee's or Johnston's armies, or,
if so, they were instigated by shameless partics
who have avoided the front of battle. This
fact is made manifest by the alacrity with which
the truly brave men rallied around General
Wright and Colonel PiseT, who addressed the
crewed in a shrilling and earnest manner. To
' ?ii- 1.1 .1 i

dicrs our people owe a deep debt of gratitude.
The most heinous part of the affair was in
the pillage of Messra. Neal & Whitlock's to-'?
baceo store. The stock of these gentlemen
was of private ownership, and should have
been respected. We know that some twenty
boxes of tobacco stored in the establishment
belonged to a gentleman whose whole fortune
had been placed at the disposal of the Government,
and who resolutely refused to sell his
bond?, lest by so doing his example should be
followed by those less patriotic than himselfThe
little all that he had saved is now gone,
and the pilferers have the poor satisfaction of
knowing that they have beggared a man who
garye bis-son and p'ropcrty for their benefit.
Let there be no more destruction of private
property. It is tmmanlw and cowardly. No '
true defender of his country should tarnish
the glorious record of the past four years by a
motnent's rashness and for so insignificant a
preftt*.

CAlVJDEiti FfCJUMT, MAY 12,
Having tried in vain to make use of Confederate
nunoy in tlio purchase of tho necessities of life, ve
are compelled, in self-defence, 10 adopt the specie
system, or its equivalent. All advertisements inserted
in this paper a*, any time afte? tho 1st inst.. must bo
settled for mjflint way.
A Great PesioerAti'M.?AVe take pleasure in calling
the attention of the people of Camden and vicinity
to tho advertisement of llr .Tajiks Jonks?giving
notice that lie lias established a gristmill at the railroad
depot. His mill i3 new, and in good working
condition. Having used meal nud hominy ground at
this mill, we can recommend it to tho public as being
above ordinary. The enterprise is deserving a liberal
patronage.
Since the above was placed in type we have been
'''* "JilmMit /ottilil.., e,.?lru tnt.nl n,,A rinn
fftur, for which Mr. Jokes will please accept our acknowledgement.
The meal is line, and fte rice flour
is decidedly the most palitablc arliele of the kind vv^*
have c\ cr used; {/
A Municipal C'ujiubncy.?'Tho city fid hers "rf
Camden, we learn, are off cling arrangements t" issue
a pnpgr currency on a specie bases?cenkicntes of'indebtecfues.*.
whicli will no tVouU. in agreit measure.,
mefct the wants of the people in tliis respect, and will
be receivable in payment of taxes due the town. The
anionut issued w.li bo siua!', and should be taken
freely in course "of trade and in liquidation of nil in*
dcbtediiess at a specie value. "We should have no
ono in onr midst paitroonish enough to depreciate,
through speculation or othc-rtjjse, this currency.?
Through this medium alone will we be enabled to carry
on trade successfully with tln*peo?1e of onr seel ion.
It is payable to the town ot Camden for taxes and all.
other dues, and consequently equal to gold. Sharpers
nnd speculators, who arc ever humous to make their
heavy per cent., will no doubt he oa the alert seeking
to liorilc up ana trmncin mis currency, we njcnuon
this that the unsuspecting citizen holder may not be
duped to part with these certificales ot less than par
value.
He Kot Discouraged.?Hope on, hope
ever. Life's prospects may appear to. yon
dreary and uninviting; life's realities may bo
painfully oppressive to your sensitive feeling;
but with trustful confidence believe that He
who made a way through the lied Sea for his
redeemed ones to pass over, can easily light up
your path with sunshine and strew it with
fariest tiowers. lie who forms the night creates
also the day. He who directs the course
of the storm cloud-also sends the fair weather
out in the North. The railway of life does
not always lie through tunnels. Another
moment and your gladdened spirit may he enjoying
the fine balmy air, and reveling in the
beauties of earth and sky. It mat be that yon
are even just now upon the verge of God's
choicest Messing.
Nolle Sentiment.?Some true heart has
given expression to its generous-nature in the
following beautiful seutimcnt:
Never desert a Irieud when enemies- gather
round hiin. When sickness.falls on the heart
?when the world is dark and cheerless, is the
time to. try a true friend. They who turn from
a scene ot distress betray their hypocrisy, and
prove that iutevest moves them. If you have
a friend who loves you and studies your interest
and happiness, be sore to sustain him in
adversity. Let him feel that bis former kindness
is. appreciated ancl that fck love is not
thrown away. Ileal fidelity may be rare, but.
it exists in the heart. Who lias, not seen and
felt it3 power? They deny its u worth, who
never loved a friend, or labored to make n i
frie^J happy.

Movements of Pieukik Sovl::.?The N. V.
Hcru/J of a late date gives the following it- ins
of Pews:
l'ierrie Soule, who arrived two weeks ntjo
from Havana, is reported in llie newspapers as
having on hand a gigantic seccsii" emigration
scheme, but of what particular nature is neff
generally understood;. perhaps it. is an offshoot
of the exploded Gwin affair. A more t^an
usual number of Americans, loyal and disloyal,
are in Mexico just'now. Maj. Calhoun Ileabain,
of theicbel army, and formerly United
Stales Distirel Attorney in California, has be< n
here for several weeks confined to his room by
illness, at the Iturbidc Hotel. Captain Heauroirard,
brother of tlie General, is in Sonora,
having passed through this eity sonic weeks
:since on Jiis way thither. General Shields,
who. bus been for some months in Sinaloa, was
^arrested at Mazatlan recently by the Fieuch
authorities, as u-spy or suspicious personage;
but by tliu intercession of Mr. Harrow, of Topic,
v.lio visite ! Mazatlan for the pnrpo.se, lie
was liberated, ami'is expected in tlrs city'tomorrow,
li.-ivinjr arrived already at tiuaiiajiiato.

has bean herd a fctv weeks, and re:urns
by this strain -r, via. Ilavaia Mr. MeLeod
Murphy, furnualy Superintendent of the I'nited

The second "unaves left Mexico on the liUtl)
for Vera Crna, on their return to France;. and,
tlicyVdi app -.glad euongli to go. As is
well Unowu; the Mcxicau war is not popular
among them, and the sooner the. country is
cleared of French troops the hotter Maximilian
will like it.
A Treaty Between* Spain* and Guatemala
has just been published in the Mexican news
papers. . It is long and full of Spanish details
tl - ?/3 . _ I !. 1 .. J. i_ ? T 1.11
an* snpernuous veroiage, out in it isaDcna acknowledges
the independence of Guatemala,
and fori^ally renounces all-claim- to her former
dependency?a decision which. Spain has been,
it seems, forty-two years in reaching. Spain
has never been in haste to recognize republican
governments. She was the last to field to
the United States a scat in the family of nations,
and long years intervened before she
would renounce her claims to Mexico after its
act of separation. It seems, however, that
she was not long in making up her mind as to
tho establishment of Maximilian's empire. In
recognizi^Guatemala the Queen conferred
upon Rafael Carrera, President Dictator, pf
that countiy, the Order of Charlos Third.
Whatever Carrera may have been in his
earlier career, be is undoubtedly the man for
Guatemala where his-iron- hand, like that of
Dr. Francis, iir-Patagoa), ha? preserved order
and maintained law among a people about as
capable of appreciating or exercising the Mess-'
1 ings of self government as so many flMtenrote
or Lascars. Some of the firmest adherent* of
i Maximilian sometimes wish that he wodkl

Inaugural Address of PresJolmson.
We take the following troin the Richmond
Whig of the 19th ultimo:
Gentlemen : I must bo permitted to-*say
that I have been almost overwhelmed by theannouncement
of the sad event which lias sorecently
occurred. I feel incompetent to perform
duties .-o important and responsible us<
those which have been so unexpectedly thrown.
upon uie. as iu an niuicauoi) ol any policy
which- may be pursued by me in the adiuini.*of
rlie Government, 1 have lo say that "that;
must be Itfft fur development as the Ad~
ministration progresses. The message or dec
Inrulioi) must lie made by the acts as they
transpire. The only assurance that I can now
Vive ol 'thc future is reference to the past. Tito
course which 1 have taken in* the past, in con*. .
liec'iou with this rebellion, must be regarded:
as a guarantee of tiio future. The best energies
of my life have been spent in endeavoring*
hi establish and perpetuate the principles of
liei' iioverninent, and I believe that the Government
in passing through its present penis*
will settle town upon print spies consonant witb
popular rights more pel mi. neut and enduring*
loan heretofore. I must he permitted to suy.,if
I understand the feelings of my own' heart,,
that i have long kboreJ ro ameliorate and to*
alleviate the condition of the*great mass of the.
American people. Toil and honest advocacy .
of the gi'ent principles of free government have
! been my lot. Duties h ive been, mine? consc- ' '
! (pienets are God's. Tins has been the founda
j lion of my political croud, and I "fool that itv
| tliu end Govcsiifiit-ntr vtili triumph, 'and that.
1 those great principles will he permanently'
e.-ublisbed. In conclusion, gentlemen, let me
say that I want your encouragement and countenance.
I shall ask and rely upbn you and
others in carrying.the Government through its.
present perils. 1 feel, in making this request,,
that it will he heartily responded to by yon
and all other patriots and lovers of the 'rightsarid
interests of a free people.
The FotnS' Sterling?:?The Joui-hM^]^

which is the nominal par. If the quotation for
I sterling is 100 per cent., then ?4.44 4 equal
the pound ; and 160x?4.44 4, is ?7.11 (with it
1 small fraction)?that is 100 per cent, equals*

sterling. Various attempts have been made to?
