OUR RAIL ROAD,

We must think, is doing well; the depot pre-
scnts..an active, business appearance; the comno
dious platform erected for The reception of cotton
has been kept lately, we'll supplied with the pre-
cious commodity. The interior of the depot is
pretty well filled with merchah ize, which is con-
stantly coming and going. Those connected with
The management of this Branch are business men,
and are disposed to accommodate the public. We
are not disposed to find fault, but we think the
travelling public might and ought to be better ac-
conrnodated, and therefore again suggest that the
building erected especially for passenger depot
he called into immediate use.
That the Rail Road has benefited Camden can
not be reasonably doubted. A contemporary says:
"Thc Camden Journal has come to hand as semi
weekly paper. The railroad has brought this
about. There is nothing like going ahead when
opportunity offers"

AFEW QUESTIONS TO MY NORTHERN

Messrs. Editors: Being natire and resi-

| hat pcrtinn Of my fellow. citizens who are SO

through the thrratning darkness, That unless
soon dispelrd, will ussuredly dissolve This, to
me, much luycd Union Of the States of my ma
tive land.
First then: Is that you object Do you ear
ncsty desire dissolution lfso. why not say
so at once? l(that is not your object, what is
it? What do you propose, in case You can CT.

Is It to benefit the negro race, or is it 10 wreak

the former. | have only TO give my opinion, afor

opportunity 10 make observations than has pro.
hably fallen To any other Northern man. that no
evil Of so fearful import could fall upon the

ions, and they are the hes, fed, hes, clothed

And more than that they enjoy the great OBJ
irct, end and aim of lie, in Il higher degree
than you yourselves do, for they are more con,
tented, cheerful and happy, and never repinc or
sigh for liberty; and, in poin, of morality, nay,
religion, they exceed any ofhe lower orders Of

"Wmo CAN SOLVE THIS PRoMLEM ?"-Fill n
wine glass to the brim with waller, or posi-.
bic, raise it in the glass even higher than the
edge, by letting one drop fall at time until the
is done, drop into the glass as many common
pins as will fill it, aud the waller will not over
flow. This simple experiment may he very
easily tried; but never have seen ii explained.
Water is not compressible in wine glass, and
the pins are made of solid metal, ye, the water
in the glass remains as il was before the pins
