For the Camden Journal

Mr.. EDrroR To carry into successful opera
ton scheme for educating young men OF our
District, who are most deserving of "the priceless
boom" and who are shut out from the halls OF
science by limited means, requires only some
concert of action, and an amount of money
which, if judiciousy used, would cost no one
sacrifice. g.r.-.e Trs
A fund of FIVE thousand dollars would endow
scholarship in the South Carolina College ;
how easy to raise this sum, and how desirable
to do so. What qualification it would be to
every good citizen of the District to have a
"Kershaw District Scholarship in our College
how mach greater qualification would it be to
see that scholarship filled, term after term, by
one doing honor to himself, to the District, to
the Institution and the State. This and all 9TH
er happy results that might be dwet upon lie
within our power by the slightest effort. Are
there not fifty citizens who can spare one hun.
dfod dollars for such purpose, or one hundred
who can spare fifty dollars? Or if it be prefer
r.d, in order to render the scheme more popular,
let an Educational Society be formed, whose
members shall pay an annual subscription OF five
dollars.
Mr.. Editor, trust hit something will be
done in this matter at once. Even now we could
find most worthy object for this fund. TO the
Young man waiting and wanting education,
time is invaluable, delay runous. Will you in
vite your subscribers to send in their names for
the one scheme or the other as they may prefer!

HEAVY FREsHET-We learn that the mill
owners of the interior are suffering severely from
the heavy rains On Friday night all the dams
on Horse creek, except that at the Bath paper
mills, were broken by the flood. The Vancluse
dam first gave way, and its whole weight DIVA
ter was precipitated upon that Of the Graniteville
Company. The latter having a bold waste way
would have stood this pressure, but the breaking
of Lrthers dam on Bridge creek, which empties
into Horse creek above Grantcville, added 50
suddenly to the body Of water, that the Granite
vile dam gave way at the Bridge creek side
Then followed Marsh's dam, which is next below
Granievilc, So that the water Of the four was
thus let loose upon tn dam Of the Bath paper
mills. In the mean time d. J. Walker, Esq,

open his lood-gates and cutting away the breast

and safe passage to the immense body Of water.
To do so, required pretty hard work for the
whole night, but he has thereby saved that Of

in this city yesterday afternoon. We learn that
his illness was very brief, aud his death sudden

"The old Quaker Burying Ground" with its
moss.grown graves and vine-clad trees, endeared
to us by tho associations of century, now pre-
s.nts another striking object, not only render
in it more attractive, but furnishing food for
pleasant and profitable contemplation. We
hope that all our citizens may soon find 1t con-.
Yenient to visit this Getty of the dead" and we
have no doubt that IL holicr feeling than that re-
sultng merely from gratifcd curiosity will re-
pay them for their visit.
Near the entrance, on heavy, well finished
base of native blue granite, supported by firm
foundation of the same material, there rises
beautiful, handsomely c rved Obesk of purest
marble, iile proportions Of the whole Monument
some sixteen or seventeen feet high, are admlra
bic and the effect striking.
This commemorative stone marks the grave
of Lieutenant JAMEs WILLIS CANTEY, that much
loved son of Kershaw District, who on the very
threshhold of life, sealed his devotion to his
country with his blood at Chapultepec. This
mcrited tribute is paid to his memory by friends
who knew him from childhood who loved him
for is truth, virtue, purity and genteness; who
highly appreciated all the beauties which adorn'
ed his character; who admired his gallant bear
ns on every field of his early fame; and who
Glt, when the tidngs came that the shaft of
d. ath met him on that bloody, yet glorious day,
that they had lost a friend and brother.
This noble youth was blessed in life, for he
knew but its sprngtime, and with unvarying
purity of character and sentiment to him that
spring could but be joyous. He was blessed in
his death; for upon his failing ear there fell from
his beloved Palmetto the shout of victory. He
was douby blessed in his friends, for they loved
him devotcdy livin.g-and dead, they bear his
memory enshrined IN their hearts, and will not
"willingly let" that memory "de" to the world.
