ever again participating in the public councils.
I have no motives, as God knows I have 110
wish, to alarm your fears or disappoint your
hopes. My all, my property, my family, my
life itself are identified with your security and
prosperity. These considerations would surely
" ' -J -_.i
suffice to guarantee my cusinieresieuness auu
sincerity; but in addition, I am bound by the
lively gratitude I feel for your past favors, and
by the strongest sense of duty, in my brief
words of parting, to deal with the utmost candor
and frankness. I do, then, as the result of
my best observations and most deliberate reflections,
solemnly and earnestly warn you, that
the future is still lowering with the impending
dangers to your property and institutions; and
that the best if not the only means, of both
perpetuating the constitutional Union ot our
forefathers and of handing down to our children
and their posterity the rich heritage and
unnumbered blessings we enjoy, is for our people
to be very vigilant, determined and united
in repelling the first approach of wrong, in
maintaing to the utmost all the guarantied
rights of our section; and the above all in upholding
in their full plentitude, the sovereign
ties of the States and their sacred obligation of
interposition for the defence or protection of
their citizens against federal encroachment.?
Be liberal and true to representatives who are
prompt to assert and vindicate your rights, and
steadfast to the friends of your section and its
institutions everywhere.
The dread of the popular majority at the
North and the appliances of the Federal Government,
are but too potent at best, to frighten
or seduce the public men of the country
from their fidelity to the South and its cause.
Let not be superadded, to dismay or dishearten
them, mistrust of your confidence or apprehensions
of your desertion and rebuke. Hut not
deluded by clamorous professions of ultra detif
votion to the Union or by the bugbears of dis^
solution and civil war, with which they would
affright your imaginations. Judge the faith of
these excessive patriots by their works?the
tree by its fruits. Will they not be found, in
regard to the Const:tution they profess so much
to revere,latitudinariansby confession ? prompt
ever to enlarge its provisions, and indifferent |
to its violation ? In reference to the institutions
of your State and section, are the not generally
lukewarm, the last to feel for your rights or
your wrongs, and the first to proffer surrender,
or barter in some juggling compromise your
constitutional equality and guarantied privileges?
"When men gather grapes of thorns, or
figs ot thistles," you may be safe in committing
to such national patriots your honor and your
interests."

THE LATEST NEWS FROM CUBA.
We copy in another place an Extra issued
by one of the Savannah papers on the arrival
of the schr. Merchant there, professing to give
the news brought by that vessel from Havana.
Below we copy letters from the first Mercantile
houses in Havana to their correspondents
in this city, brought by the same schr. Merchant.
The contrast between the flaming glory of fiction
and delnsion in the one, and the cold,
dark reality of the other, is sufficiently startling.
All the letters received here, we understand,
are of the same tenor as those we copy, and
there is no doubt that they present the case as
it substantially is. Gen. Lopez, it is clear, received
no aid or countenance from the Cubans;
has gained no victories, and had no other sue
cess than that of saving his force from being
utterly destroyed in the first encounter. The
sad business cannot last much longer, and it is
high time that the system of false intelligence,
by which the country has been fevered, should
be put an end to. Its object, of course, has
been to encourage additional bands to throw
themselves to Cuba, but there is hardly a possibility
of their getting there soon enough, or in
such a condition of organization and efficiency,
as to afford any chance of success. Wild
with false hopes, they rush on >n contusion,
fend the end must he destruction.
We have alluded to the system of false intelligence.
We know not who are the parties
to it, and charge no one with a crime that is to
result, probably, in the deaths of hundreds of
young men, victims of the cruel delusions. Let
ns refer to a few of the items of this false intelligence.
The whole country was shocked
and fevered with horrible accounts of the inn
tilation of the bodies of the first prisoners captured.
It has been since proved that no such
indignaties were offered; that the prisoners
were simply shot, and their bodies buried according
to the manner of the country. Those
that were claimed by their friends were given
up, and the personal effects of the dead were
sent to their friends in New Orleans.
Soon after, a telegraphic despatch was sent
to New York, announcing that (ion. Gonzalez
had landed in Cuba with reinforcements for
Lopez. The news purported t<> come from
the Captain ot the vessel which landed liirn. At
that very time Gen. Gonzalez was quietly walking
about in Charleston.
We need not go over the ground of Gen.
Lopez's victories, which have now vanished
like a mirage. But among the latest items of
news we find the statement that the Spanish
steamship Pizarro was stil! aground, and no Iiojm*
of getting her off; whereas, the Cincinnati, at
New Orleans reports that she passed the Pizarro
at sea, on her course from Havana. There
was another professed piece of news by the
Merchant, that deserves to be noticed. It was
said, by way of proving the state of consternation
existing in Havana, that the vessel was not
allowed to land her cargo, or tako any return
freight. The fact is that the Merchant was i
employed simply to carry the mails, in place of
the Isabel. She bad no cargo, but stone bal- ;
last, and ber orders were to wait only for the
exchange of mails. A merchant of this city has
letters from bis correspondent in Havana, stating
that two of his vessels were unloading their
cargoes, and would take in their return freights
as soon as ready. There is believed to be no
obstruction to trade, in consequence of the invasion
of Lopez.
We have been led to these remarks, because
wo think the attempts to conquer Cuba by telegraphic
fabrications have gone far enough. It
would seem indeed to he plain that this was the
way to insure defeat instead of victory. The
idea of carrying on m'litarv operations under
a system of false intelligence, by which all the
parties to the invasion were to be completely
deluded as to their position with regard to each
other, certainly did not originate with a great
General.
hut we submit our extracts of letters. We
have been furnished with others, the purport ot
which is so nearly identical with these, as to
render their publication unnecessary.

The Lancaster Meeting.
We understand the Meeting in Lancaster on
Tuesday last, was large and enthusiastic, numb
!ng about thiee thousand persons. After religious
services, at the Methodist E Church, by the
Rev. Mr. Palmer, Hon. R. B. Rhett was introduced
to the meeting by I)r. J. Galluchat, after
which the Hon. Senator, delivered an address,
replete with sound and convincing argument,
showing conclusively, that Secession alone and
single handed by South Carolina, is the only
remedy for our grievances, and the only mode ot
obtaining the co-operation of our sister States.
He conrluded amidst the most enthusiastic applause
from his delighted auditory, given as an ,
earnest, that Lancaster is true to the core. Mr.
R. was followed by Gen. Buchanan, of Fairfield,
who in a masterly style, maintained and enforced
the right and duty of the State, to maintain her
pledge to ''resist at an Hazards ana 10 uie iusi extremity."
After the speaking, was over, the vast
multitude partook of a Barbecue, prepared for
the occasion by A. Mayer Esq., whose high reputation,
in lhat line, warrants us in saying, was wor.
thy of the occasion. At an early hour, the people
retired to their homes, without one circumstance
occurring, to mar the festivities of the day.
In our next, we hope to be able to give a inoa'
detailed account of the Meeting. * * *
For the Camden Journal.
A meeting of the .Southern Rights Association
for Kershaw District, was held this day in
the Court House for the purpose of uniting the
two wings of the resistance party, an I to prevent
division among ourselves. On motion
Col. W. J. Taylor, one of the Vice Presidents,
took the Chair, and addressed the Association
as follows:
Gentlemen: You have heen convened today
for the purpose of considering and acting
upon, the divisions which exist, and which I
am sorry to say have made some progress in
the ranks of the resistance party of our Stato.
I need not urge upon you the importance of the
1? fmrothor and the
mailer nun uu? uiuu^m .7 -"o ?
obligations which you arc under to your country,
as men and patriots, to leave nothing untried
that would likely prevent a split in our
Southern Rights party, and that would bring
about harmony of feeling and concord of ac
tion amongst a body of men whose end and
aim is the same, but who differ in the mode of;
attaining such end.
I need not remind vou that we are all embarked
in a common cause, a holy cause, involving
not only our rightsas citizens of a com
moii country?our property?our nouses ano
firesides?but the very existence of our social
and political organization?shall we in view of
such things halt on the way to squabl le
arnongs ourselves about comparatively small
matters? 1 hope not, I trust not. It becomes
us to reconcile all minor differences which
threaten to distract and divide us, or at least
endeavor to do so, and should we fail in the attempt,
we will have the consolation of having
discharged our duty. 1 will not detain you by
any further remarks.
On motion of William M. Shannon, Ksq., a
Committee of five, consisting of W. M. Shan
non, Jas. Can toy, Dr. S. H. Deas, John Boykii
and YV. A. Ancrura, was appointed to prepare ?'
suitable preamble and resolution to carry intc
effect the objects of the meeting. The com
mittee through their chairman, W. M. Shannon
Fsn submit tori the following Preamble anc
Resolutions, which were ably and forcibly advocated
by Messrs. Shannon and Kershaw
and unanimously adopted.
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
Your Committee deeply impressed with th<
importance of the subject referred to them
have given it all athe consideration which tin
circumstances of the case will admit of, ant
arc pained to say that they much fear that par
ty excitement has already gone so far, part}
organization been so completely effected ir
iiifim.- Hiat.ript.fi. (with an excitin<r election beins
prepared for) that 110 suggestion thrown out b}
this meeting, can be productive of any general
good. Yet they do not doubt that at the pro
per time and in proper hands, inoasuresof conciliation
might readily have been adopted, anc
even yet might be if controlling minds in th<
State would devote themselves to this great
end.
Your committee can therefore, only recom
mend for your consideration resolutions intended
to operate only in our immediate sphere
and would add a few reasons in support of them
The premises, it is true, would justitfy a tnucl;

fluencc of our present action.
We fear greatly that the glory of Carolina
threatens to depart forever, that the elevated
position she has ever held among the States
of this Confederacy is to he changed for a less
lofty one. For although the foes of Carolina
may sneer, and the weak-minded of her own
sons may smile in sickly sympathy, at the
proud position which she has ever professed to
hold in the political world?still it is a fact,
historically true, that her political course has
been one which should fill, with honest pride,
the heart of every true Carolinian. She has
ever struggled for principle against the tyranny
of numbers, and whenever her principles
have been grafted upon Federal policy, it has
resulted from the triumph of reason and from
no corrupting influence, She has never yet
quailed before Federal power, Federal gold has
never yet corrupted her.
Various elements, as her origin, her institutions,
Iter ''admirable Constitution," and the
blessing of wise Statesmen, have combined to
give her an unanimity which has been her
strength, and upon no question were her people
ever so united as upon our relations with the
Federal Government growing out of the institution
of slavery, until within the last few
months. It were bootless now to enquire
whence this division conies; suffice it that il
exists and threatens to destroy us. Our foes,
the minions of the Federal Government, early
in the history of the present struggle saw thai
it was their policy to isolate South Carolina,
We strove by attempting to occupy but an humble
position in the great drama to prevent this
result, but the unhappy South nurtured vipers
in her bosom who treacherously poisoned her
life blood, and Carolina is left almost alone.,
but yet the victory was not easy, for one State
could, if she were unanimous, break up the
foundations of this Government whether st.e
chose to tear herself violently from it, or by
her yet influencing to resistance her sister sufferers?one
more step and their victory is complete?ihe
step is about being taken?Carolina
is about to be divided against herself, and already
our foes rejoice, they prepare to return
to their plough, loom and anvil, for they feel
that we "will finish their work" in the political
world. Is not. this so ? Will not the action
of Carolina be utterly futile if she is to be paralized
by an angry, party warfare waged between
her own sons ? Can she "pass througi:
the flame and the hem of her garment remair
unscathed?" The history of party politics
tells us no, and we may rest assured that if this
division goes 011, widening and deepening daj
by day, that Carolina is lost, that the tru<
doctrini of States Rights is destroyed forever
and upon the ruins will arise a collossal con
solidation, whose very shadow would destroj
the tree of liberty?a government with iw 1
principles, money for its parasites, the swori
for its opponents.
If, in this unnatural struggle, then the "So
cession party" shall succeed, the State torn bj
internal dissension, may fall an easy victim ti
the arms or the schemes ol her enemy. If, 01
the other hand, the "Co-operation party" slial
succeed, it is much to ho feared that embitter
ed feelings will leave us unfit for co-opcratioi
with each other, much less with other States.

Be it Resolved, 1. That we regard the chit
object of this Association to be the encourage
ment and promotion of "concert of action
among the friends of the South.
2. That "concert of action" among Caroli
ninns is indispensihle to the success of an\

3. That we recommend to our fellow-citi

widen the breach now being opened.
, On motion of K. S. Moffat, it v\as resolved

r extending into North Carolina and some of our
( adjoining districts, is the only resource open to
Camden to maintain her present comparatively
> prosperous state (for it is perverse and dis'
ingenuous to deny, that, the business of Camden,
however unfortunate the last season, is
improved, and the general aspect of things most
agreeably changed, since the establishment of
our Branch Road.) But it is not only in our
' power to maintain our ground, but to make a
i marked and gratifying progress, of this we are
t becoming every day more sanguine. We should
have said the Plunk Road is the main, not the
only, means to secure our present position, and
take others in advance ; this we may, hereafter,
' endeavor to show.
, The elements of success are among us?
material, moral and intellectual?they need
( combination and direction. We have position,
population, intelligence and wealth, individual
' and corporate?8800,000 of Bank Capital

alone?with the disposition, we are assureu, uu
the part of those who control it, to use it wilh
the utmost liberality consistent with their duty
to the proprietors, in the promotion of all legi
timate enterprises connected with the interests
of Camden, and the region of country whose
> centre of trade she naturally is. It is discouri
aging, we admit, that, these resources haveuot
heretofore, by combined effort, been turned to
the best account.
But we do not dispair. We shall be coiT'
strained to unite, aud put forth our energies to
> avert impending disaster, and having accomplished
that object, will hardly stop with a
mere defensive movement, when that,Jtself,
will have opened to our view, a wide field of
1 competition, in which our advantages, at many
1 important points, will be obvious. We will
advance and occupy these points, making
them new points (le, apjmi, from which to make
further demonstrations.
Are we too sanguine?too bold? Let us
1 see ?
Concord is one of the points indicated.
! That place and the country around, are about to
be placed in a most advantageous position.
Their trade is being sought by the Pons of
Virginia, and of North and South Carolina
by Charleston, Richmond, and Wilmington,
her position being about central between these
three, and distant from each, about 270 miles,
11... !,? linns nf Rnil Road made and being made.
"J ",v- ? "-? V
Fayetteville, is distant, by Plank Road, now
making 130 miles from Concord; Danville and
Columbia, by Rail Road 130 miles, each, to
Camden is 00 miles ; to Clientw 70 miles. At
, present, however, there can be no competition be
tween Camden and Cheraw?their River is uncertain,
and to-day, wagons are transporting
goods from Camden to Cheraw, but even
with a Rail Road from Cheraw, via Darlington
; and Sumter, to Charleston, Camden will have
the advantage of 75 miles less of Rail Road
transportation, and Cheraw can only reach
Wilmington by River and Rail Road in '200
1 miles. We are safe, therefore,against Cheraw,
i in the race for the trade of the Concord
. region.
Rut, assuming, that Fayetteville, Danville,
Columbia and Camden occupy the same relation
to the sea and the final markets, can Cam1
den successfully compete with these places lor
' the trade of the Concord region '{ As to Fayetteville,
there can be no question ; the distance
to Camden, by Plank Road, is 1)0 miles; to
Fayetteville 130 miles, by the same mode of
transportation,
i Rut, we repeat, can Camden, by 00 miles of
Plank Road compete with Columbia ami Danville
upon 130 of Rail Road. Cpon the solution
of this question all depends, if we can
so compete for the trade in question, then, we
' can demonstrate that we can command, Statesi
ville and Wilkesboro'; perhaps Salem; certainly
Charlotte and Lincoln, and the region
about these points, and all the trade of the west,
- * I !? ?_!?
bank of the Catawba, nearly up 10 me (mining
1 rid ?e between the Catawba and the Uroad
' River! W e can penetrate to the Yadkin, at the
3 mouth cf the Uwhara. We go further: we
j can command the rich cotton region of Anson
. county! These are bold positions? To demonstrate
that they are tenable, we must show
5 that we can carry and maintain the central po>
sition of Concord. Wo reason thus:
There is no probability that the Kail Roads
. will or can, take less, and live, than 50 cents
} per barrel for flour to Columbia, or Danville?
the charter rates being S>1.30 per barrel We
apprehend, the business of transporting these
commodities at less than the rates indicated,
. would be abandoned.
y Now, the toll upon a Plank Road, for a four
3 horse wagon, on the Kayetteville Reads, is 2?
cents, on some of the Northern as low as one
1 cent. We will assume it upon ours at 2 cents
' per mile, or SI,Si) cents from Concord to Cam
den. A four horse team on a Plaok Road, witn
n the easy grades attainable on the route from
here to Concord, will draw (50 barrels of flour
30 miles per day. The toll, therefore, would
n be 3 cents per barrel?this is all the money the
e farmer would actually pay: his wagon, horses,
and his own time we know he puts at noth-i.l
nnnsider himself well
r i||?r. UeWOUIuuw.. -J
paid at 82 J'"r ('aV?tr s'x f?r trip down, or
10 cents per barrel, which added to toll would
" amount to about seven pence per barrel!
Would he pa^' a Rail Road 50, or 25 cents,
or even the seven pence ? All know he would
not. But when the population and produc*
y tions of this favored region shall have greatly
r increased, as they rapidly will, the Rail Roads
could afford to reduce freights: in the mean
time, the number of wagons upon the Plank
- - - *' ^ tr*. " fj" rfWf _
- mr
Road would also have increased, and the toll
he reduced, as upon some Northern Roads, to
one cent per mile. The time is remote, indeed, ^
when the Cabarras farmer, with the facilities
of Plank Roads, will cease to carry his productions
to market in his own wagon, and go
with them himself. The teams and wagons
necessary to produce the crop, and for family
and other purposes, will be sufficient to transport
it to market, in a few trips, and if consisting
of Cotton in one trip, and will, as now,
cost no more on the Road than in the stable.
The farmer can choose his lime., when the market
is favorable or he has nothing else to do,
to transport his crop to maket, and make his
purchases, or carry back freight. Those who
know the views and habits of North Carolina
farmers, will see at once, that they would
never pay even 15 cents per barrel to a Rail

can be more certain?we would have nothing
then to fear from Rail Roads. With a
Plank Road of low grades and perfect con
strnction, the trade in question is ours beyond
controversy; then why not command that of
the region of Charlotte, and Lincoln, and the
west back of the Catawba, and Anson and the
Yadkin,and Bishopville,and Darlington? Why
not ? ^
From Charlotte to Camden is 80 miles; to
Columbia, 110. flj
From Lincolnton to Camden, via Tuckasege ^
Ford, is 105; to Columbia, via Charlotte, 140;
to Columbia, via York, 130 miles. *:|: A
From Beckhamville, in Chester disfrtet, to ^
Camden, via Liberty Hill is 35 miles; from the
same point to Che?terville, is 20 miles, and by
common Road, thence to Columbia, 65 miles
more by Rail Road; to Winnsboro', 20J>y
common Road ; and thence to Columbia* 40
miles more bv Rail Road. To the North of
the Uwharn is 100 miles from Camden, and
about 90 from Fayetteville, by Plank Road now
being made.
But the qaestion recurs, can Camden command
the trade from Concord ? .The answer is
anticipated, in the foregoing comparison of
distances and charges.
How then shall we begin,and when? Now ^
with a subscription of not less than $60,000, |
in Camden and immediate vicinity; thos with ^
$15,000 more, in the district, on the main line, \
and 35 or 40,000 from Lancaster, will carry j
the main trunks constructed in the best manner
to Monroe and to Pleasant Grove, 22 miles
above I.ancaster. |
The work being thus auspiciously began, ex- <
tensions to Charlotte, and Concord, and Beck- j
hamville, and beyond these points, would rapidly
be made: it has been so wherever these Roads
have been introduced. In five years, we should
confidently anticipate a Plank Road connexion
with Chester and NVinnsboro', via Liberty
J Hill; with Lineolnton, via i^narioite, or iuckasege
Ford direct, and with Statesville and
Wilkesboro'.and Chesterfield,and Wndesboro',
and Darlington, and the hanks of the Yadkin!!
Camden trill then be the gale through which a
large portion of the surplus productions of
these fertile regions will find its way to the sea. ^
Will these productions pass the,.Road, or *
Ibis common gale, without loll adequate to indemnify
us for the expenditure of evon ?150,000,
if necessary.
But the Stole will help us if we help ourWits?and
we will yet "out of this nettle,
danger, pluck the llower, safety."

MEDICAL USE OF THE WILD CHERRY.
Ever since the settlement of America, Wild Cherry has
i Ik-en known to possess very important medicinal virtues,
| Every body knew this fact but no body knew how to extract
its essential properties. Every mother gives Wild
Cherry tea to her children for worms, for colds, and for
rnosi every disease: and adult* throughout our country are
in the habit of making a compound of Syrup of Wild cherry
iiark and other ingredients, to lie used in spring as an antidote
to complaints incident to that changeful season. It
is found by experiment that the wild cherry possesses even
far more important qualities than we ascribed to it. For
.i? ?inin>4 of Consumntion. Asthma, no matter how ' J
longstanding, t oughs, Liver complaint, etc., it is proved
to be the best medicine known to man. Dr. Wistar's Balsam
of Wild (.'hern' is a chemical extract, combined with
a similar extract from Tar, which enhances its value. Its
success in curing pulmonary diseases, in almost every M
stage, Rafter our best physicians could do no more, lias as- I
tonwheu the faculty, and led them to confess that Wistar's ^
Balsam of Wild Cherry possesses a principles heretofore
unknown among medical men.
