TO Delinquents.

We are sorry to be again compelled to urge upon
our delinquent patrons their duty to give imneal"'e
attention to their Indebtedness to this Office. 1t is
quite unpleasant to our feelings to be obliged to call
upon cur subscribers to pay us and IS more trouble
some to us than it can possibly be to those who owe
us, to settle To make personal applications to our
patrons is exceedingly disagreeable, ana not at Ill
times convcncnt-to employ agents, would consume
great part of our profts-and when each lndiVidual
can without much trouble remit the several amounts
which scparately are small, but in the aggregate
considerable sum- to US that each one should
feel it to be pleasing duty to render unto the Prnter
the things which hsthat is to say in our vernacu-
lar pay US what you owe us.
The patronage which some Of subscribers confer
upon us is exceedingly Improbable. We are obliged to
rav the money for labor, and the materials used in the
prosecution of our business must be paid for at the time
or at Tie end of six months with an additional profit
to the dealer for giving time, and when note IS duc
it is required to be promptly paid. How then are we
TO meet our engagements from the proceeds oil our b'
sincss unless those indebted to US discharge their
duty? We hold that the relation existing between
the publisher of newspaper and his subscribers should
be a mutual one in all respects, and where ono ro'
cevcs value for that which lie enjoys from the labor oil
another he should be willing to pay for it. We IN:
dulge in no figures of speech or verbose reasoning
we are dealing in common, phleglnatic facts We arc
at all times most happy to accommodate our frlends
and arc thankful for patronage but we must be paid Tor
it. We find that the most hearty and earnest wishes
for our success have not given one dollar towards
the payment of a bank note One paying subscri er
is worth dozen good wishes. Ny friend, if you owe
the Camden Journal any thing consider yourself per-
sonally called upon, and pay up without delay, and
you are offended at the plain talk Of the Editor just
discharge duty, and you will find 1.-THE best way to

Fire iIl CheraW.

A slip from the Gazette Office, dated Thurs
day morning. says of the fire on the night pre-
vious:
Upon reaching the scene, We found the dry
goods store of Mr.. John Kyle cnvelopcd in
flames, which, together with the adjoining store
of Mr. James Lynch, to the north, and that Of
Messrs. Evans d Mclver, on the corner Of Front
and kershaw streets, were soon cnveoped in
flames. To the south of Mr.. Kyle, the fire soon
extended to the store Of Mr.. w. L. }. Reid, the
Law Office Of Mcssrs Engls & Wallace, the tin
shop of Mr.. c. Holmes, and to stores CT Mr. IL.
NJ Tomlnson and Peter Haley, which were all
consumed, with almost their entire contents.
But for the calm which pervaded, the fire would
have been much more cysensive As it was, the de-
structive element was restrained only by the
most indeiatirable cxertons Of our citizens.
The store of Mr. J. A. David, next to that Of
Mr.. HALEY, was several times on fire, as were
stores of Mcsss d. McNair, ThrcadgiIl d Ken
dali and D. Matheson on the opposite side Of
the street.
The loss, as nearly as we can estimate it, Is
about as follows:
Messrs. Evans & McIvcr, stock Of goods $l4,-
900, on which they hold a policy OF insurance
of $4,000 Three store houses insured for So
500. Mr.. James Lynch, loss $4,000, insured
for $500; and all his books and papers. Mr..
John Kyle loss in goods $4,000, insured for S4,-
500; also his books and papers all lost. Mr..
W. L. J. Reid, loss in goods, $4,000, insured for
81 900; also one store house, and the law office
of Mcssrs. Inglis & Wallace, loss not known, III
sured for $500. Mr.. &. Holmes lost his entire
stock and tools, say $4,000, insured for $1,000.
Mr.. II. NJ. Tomlinson, loss $500, insured for
Sl,5OO. Mr. Peter Haley, absent from home,
loss not known, nor the extent Of his insurance
books and papers saved.
We believe all the Cotton in the store lots
was saved, and are happy to be able to state
that no serious personal accident occurred to any
one.
Considerable damage will be sustained by
many Of our merchants, by the removal Of their
goods, which with ALL We understand, be covered
| by insurance.

Mr.. ED1roR: The time is now fast approach
ing when the people Of kershaw District vii!
have to choose a Senator and two Representa-
tvcs to the State Legislature. Three gentlemen
have already been announced as candidates, but
as it is not definitely known to many whether or
not they will accept the nomination, it Will not
| trust be considered any 'dscourtesy them for
me to suggest, through the medium of Your pa
Der, two other names for Representatives. l do
not wish to be understood rs intending to an
nounce taem as Candidates, but only to bring
them fully before the public, with the hope that
they may be nominated, and also that they will
consent to the nomination, and serve if elected.
The gentlemen to whom aude are JOS. B.
kERsIrAw and /. w. R. BLAIR. With regard
to the Senator if Col. TAYLOR is still willing to
serve, have so suggestions to make; if he is
not, we have no fears that suitable one willnot
be found to fill his place.
The objection to the nomination Of Col. CnEs-
Nut for that post is, that |, in common with the
citizens of his District, would much rather see
him in the place soon to be vacated by Mr.. WooD-
WARD, or as a still higher mark or appreciation
of his talents, see linn occupy the Senatorial
chair in the Senate Of the United States.

MELANCHOLY CAsuALrY.-On Saturday night,
between eleven and twelve O'Clock, an accident
occurred from the ncautious use of asprit lamp,
which, VIC regret to say, was attended with IA
tai result. 1t appears that at about that time,
white boy in the employ of Mr. Quinn, IL FL
liott-street, was desired to replenish lamp with
spirit gas, and was cautioned to extinguish the
light prior to doing SO. This order he, however,
disregarded, and the consequence was that the
spirit ignited, burst the lamp and spread over
the floor. Mrs. Quinn attempted to trample it
out, but, in so doing, the fire caught her dress,
and iu an instant she was enveloped with the
flames and rushed with child she had at the
