Chivalry Is yet alive. 1t{3t:s Is b.
We learn that an humble citizen of Abbeyille,
named Larkin Carter Influenced by devoted at-
tachment to the great and noble Calhoun, walked
all the way from AbbevilIe to Charleston, to par.
ticpate in the funeral ceremonies. Oi, THURSDAY
night he made his appearance at the City Hall
and asked the privilege fbeing part of the mid
night watch over the mighty dead. It was grant.
ed: and lie performed two sleepless yigis, aud
never left the place until the beloved remains were
removed. By request Of the body-guard of 400,
he was placed BY the Mayor among the guests Of
the city. and awarded its hospitalitiea This re-
minds one of Troy's days and Of Homer's hefoesI
the poetry of fdeeds, the life ofchivalry.
;Y" We would call the attention Of those who
are in arrears for the Camden Journal, to the fact
that the advance limit (hree months) has passed;
but to accommodate our subscribers -tboss who.
would rather pay in advance, and save halfa dol.
lar thereby-we extend the time two weeks from
this number. After that, no advance price wiitbs
received We ehope our subscribers viii not take
this as dun; as it is inlnaterial whether they
pay Us the advance price now or mol.
~ In another column win be found the his-
tory of the reception Of the remains Of MI Cal.
houn in Charleston. They viii remain there until
the will of the State relative to their final resting
place, shall be indicated through the Legislatnre
Southern Literary Gazette. 81
We have received the specimen number Of this
truly Southern Gazette. There is now no longer
any excuse for taking Northern literary paper.
This surpasses the Post aud Courier in their pal
mier days; and whether considered as TO tho
handsomeness Of the sheet or the excellency Of
the subject matter, stands unrivaled. Drop those
abolition organs ffoln the North, and take Tho

Three Cheers for old Msckisnbwg!
The Hornets Nest brings Us the news Of the
entire defeat Of the paltry, boot-licking, tory
hearted, exotic few who opposed sending dele
gates 10 the Southern Convention. An almost
unanimous vote, in very large meeting at Char
lotte decided to send delegates to the Convention.
Old North Carolina, we hope, will be true yet. i
cannot be thata Carolina" viii yield to degrada-
ton. Gen. Young, in series Of resolutions Of
fered, to postpone the election Of delegates, re-
marked that the resembling Of certain resolutions
by certain States, was proof that the tide fages
sion was being stayed. He certainly rs wilfully
ignorant, or has studied the history Of Northern
aggression to very little purpose. s,s,:s.y
ssy- At the late session of the Grand Division,
the following resolution was unanimously adopt
ed: "a =
Re,olred, That the thanks Of the Grand Divi-
sion of South Carolina be rendered to the officers
and members of Kersbaw Lodge, No. 20, for the
use of their Hall, 50 kindly rendered to US on this
occasion, and also to the members of Wateree
Divison, xo. 2, and Inhabitants OF Camden, for
their hospitality. - 81
seg- The Black River Watchman' brings us
the sad intelligence of an atfray between Maj r.
NJ. Dyson and Mr.. Gayle, of Sumter; which q.
suited in the death OF the latter s;,.f.
Hy- A new Post Office has been established al
Clark's Fork, York District, South Carolina, aud
John McGill appointed Postmaster.
A singular coincidence is mentioned BY the Ma.
tional Intellgencer in connection with the depaE.
ture of Mr. Calhouns remains from Washington
city on Monday. An interesting and promising
son aged II, of Hon. Mr.. Hi!liard, who, with his
parents, accompanied Mr.. Calhoun to Washing:
ton last December, was borne back to the Southa
corpse, again attended by those now afflicted pa
rents, in the same conveyance which bore tbs
corpse ofhis late distinguished fellow traveller
Thus they came and returned together-butunder
