!ieSS1S EdHOrS-AS one OF you was Orator Tor
this day and the other elected for the next 4th OF
July, it mag not be amiss, perhaps, for looker-on
TO say word about the matters and things per-
tanning to this day, which is certainly the saddest
18th have ever witnessed in Camden. At SUM-
rise the firing Of cannon, beating of drums and
ringing Of bells aroused the citizens. AT ten o.
clock the sovereigns met at the Court House and
elected Thos. J. Warren Orator for the next 4th:
and those who may enjoy that day and hear that
speech may rest assured tie speaker will do credit
to the noble and patriotic name he bears.
1t was much to be regretted that the Orator to-
day had not still larger audiences there was proof
positive that the Orion, as Is, has 10 charms for
the citizens o old Kprslaw--but still those that
stayed away lost rare intellectual treat. The
Grafton was chaste, classical and truly southern.
might have said II its proper place that the ser
vices was introduced by very appropriate pray
or by Rev VIM. II. Capers, who after the Grafton,
pronounced ihe BenedIcton, and then the people
scattered off to eat dinner or drink champaign, as
best suited their taste. Ii the Enion is still han!
ing Gsehter twelve months from to-day, trust the
people of kcrsllaw vii! show by their interest on
this Political Sabbath. that they still appreciate the
occasion which made The day glorious and hold
! in sacred reverence those master spirits who
pledged their lives, their property and sacred hon
or in the cause of npw born Liberty.

PoLIrIcAL MovEMENrs IN CALIFORNIA
Return of Santa Anna 10 !lIcrico.-A tele-
graphic dispatch dated Washington, June rs,
to the New York Express says:
Intelligence has been received here from,
California relative to the certain political move
ments going on there, looking to results which
will astonish the people Of these States, when
it is d;yulsed. 1t needs confirmation however
"News has also been received, Of another
revolution in Mexico, but of what extent am
not yet apprzcd. 1t is certain however Santa
Anna has returned
This latter announcement is certainly very
improbable, US the latest intelligence from Car.
thagena, New Grenada, states that Santa An
ia was still there.
GEN. TAYLOR, New Mexico, AND TEXAS
Hon. Mr.. E. Brooks, of the New York Express,
telegraphs to his paper as follows:-
WASHINGTON. June %.
The President will answer Mr.. Foote'S res
oluton by declaring that he has given no Or
ders in regaud to Texas and New Mexico than
those already submitted to the Senate. This
is in conformity with what | wrote you on
Wednesday. The military order remains in
stntu quo, and it is stated that bloodshed is in.
ryitable between the two people-partlcularly
# New Mexico should have defined her boun-
daries.
It's certain that the President did not give
the special order to the Civil and Military Gov
ernor of New Mexico, now quoted as authorl'
ty for the new State Government.
Texas will extend her authority over the DIS
puted territory, and at once. If need be, Gen.
Houston, will leave his place in the Senate,
and command the troops of his State in the ell.
