THE MILL BOY OF THE sLAsHEs."

This is the title bestowed by the Federalists
upon their new idol, Henry Clay. Ifthat be any
great recommendation, (and we are free to admit
its full weight,} we hope 10 reach the Pres'den-
cy ourscLf at no very distant day, seeing that we
had once the honor of being "mill boy!' =
What say you fellow Democrats of the United
States, suppose you run the ''mill boy OF the
,noun'ains against the "mill boy Of the slaSheS!
The race is said not to be always to the swift
but nevertheless, we are willing to take fair
run for it with our ilIuSlrlous cotemparary OF the
"slashes." We propose to meet him any whese
between this and the limits of "Old kentuck,
and 10 test our qualifications by match going
TO mill race. If our most nagnanlmous compct
tor beat us, we will most cheernlly admit his
superior qualifications; and if we beat him we
shall expect him TO surrender all pretensions
and suffer US to walk over the course without q
competitor.
We submit our proposition. with all gravity, tc
our neighbor Of the Lynchburg Virginian, who
we see, talks so largely about the 'mlll boy OF the
slashes." Our neighbor, as we heard and be-
lieve is, barring his politics, one of the best lel'
lows in the world, and wthal, as honest as ;
Whig editor well can be. From his love of ;
GOOD Joke we have no donbt but that he will re.
sh the proposition amazingly, and will prompt
" accede to it-nay, so much confidence have
we in him that we are perfectly willing he shall
be one of the judges of the race. What say you
Mr. Virginian, will you take us up.

The papers brought by late arrivals from Eu-
rope are filled with accounts of the death of the
Duke of Orleans, heir apparent to the crown of
France. This event took place on the 18th OF
July, and was caused by wound received in an
attempt to escape from his carriage the horses OF
which had taken fright and were running at full
speed. "We look upon this event (says Gala:
Fl IFS Messenger) as an event as in every sense
lamentable, for the afflicted Royal Family, for
France and for the peace of Europe. :.
"The permanency of the throne of July is, in
our judgment, European, nay, universal inter-
est. The whole civilized world is concerned
that France should learn repose in the arms ol
her constitutional monarchy; and this monarchy
will be jeoparded by the Regency, "a word oi
evil omen in France) which must now be provi-
ded for near contingency.
Louis Philippe is now SO years of age, and
although of robust health and temperate and &C.
tive habits, is care-worn, and by this blow will
be deeply, perhaps fatally, smitten. The he'll
to the throne, the Count de Paris, eldest son o.
the deceased Duke of Orleans, is just four years
old, and hence the necessity of Regency"

RAIL ROAD MEETING.

ing is called for the purpose of considering the
propriety of extending the Rail Road from Gads'
den to this place. We hope the meeting will be
well attended, and that all will come, with de
termination to do something for the good of Cam.
den. In 1885, a correspondent of this paper
predicted that if the Rail Road was carried to
Columbia, Camden would be ruined, unless the
road was brought here also. The Columbia road
has been completed. and is in successful opera
tion, and we shall now see whether our people
will permit their interests to suffer, or whether
they will come forward with one mind, and put
forth all their energies in the enterprise. =
In urging our citizens 10 action in this matter
we cannot use more appropriate or forclble lam
guage than that used by the correspondent allu-
ded to- He says:-
"We know our duty; and cannot mistake our
interest. If we pursuethe one, or follow the
other our course is plain:% In this matter indeed
we have no alternative. Our rise or fall now
depends upon ourselves.
"Camden is by no means in prosperous con-
dition. For some time past its course has not
been onward, and its prospects are now gloomy
To mourn over this state of things is folly. Ac-
ton can remove the evil-unted action will re-
store to US our former prosperity
"If Columbia succeeds, and a branch of the
rail road is extended to that place, it is evdent'
that we must be ruined. Nothing can save u.s.
Trade will be diverted from us, and capital must
follow it.
"To prevent this, is alike our duty and our
interest 1t can be done. We can do ii. We
have only 10 act decidedly on this subject to
show our zeal, energy, and enterprlze-and all
will vet be we'll with us.
awe are favored by circumstances. The
trade of Columbia must 60 to Charleston. IL has
no other outlet Not so with regard to Camden
All that country which is north of US, may find
and often does find, other markets, than those Of
Camden and Charleston.
"The Charleston capitalists, therefore, who
are desirous of witnessing the prosperity of that
city, would of course prefer securing large
amount of trade which is uncertain BY extend
ing the rail road to this place, this object would
be effected. For, from the facilities which
would be thusaforded, large and important
portion of North Carolina business must come to
this place and Charleston.
awe trust then that our good citizens will
rouse themselves on this subject. Our very de-
preston should give them newer and Ia fresher
energy. No people can assume noblcr stand
than those who determine to rise superior to ev-
cry misfortune. None are more degraded than
those who sink under its weight. Let us then
act firmly, decidedly, and by union, we may re-
gain the loss of the past, and ensure to our town
palmy prosperity.
"Ofone thing we are certain. Let branch o

claiming their opinions on this subject! We
