To those persons who may visit Washington, and
are in want Of boot that cannot be excellcd either
in quality or workmanship would call their atton-
ton to the card Of Henry Janney to be found under
the head Of w ashington." A handsome and neat
ly-made boot is not ut oil times source Of pleasure
to the woarer but often one Of extreme torture this
is caused by the bungling in which the boot
is fitted to tho foot. Mr.. Janney has devoted much
Of his time in studying the construction Of the human
foot in order TO ascertain how boot should be cut
and fitted that will be perfectly easy to all parts oil
the foot In this he has succeeded that it matters
not what may be the shape Of the number Of
on tho foot his boot is perfectly easy. Thus he has
combined beauty with comfort.

Give it to them, Stokes.

The Laurensville Herald is down upon Nolther
Advertising Houses. The editor is right we have
some experience upon that subject. They profess to
give liberal terms for advertisements but by the time
their commissions and other deductions come of, we
get what Lawyers sometimes leave for their clients
the shell having themselves devoured the OYSTER or if
there be an oyster, lis very small sized one "We
are continually receiving advertisements from North
advertising houses, requesting to insert them
in our columns for certain sums, and look to those
houses for pay. We have complied in two or three
instances and the result has been that the accounts
still unsettled on our books although we have re-
pcatedy forwarded the bills. Now, we work for pay
and do not intend to be cheated again. therefore We
publicly notify these houses that it is useless to send
us advertisements unless the money accompanies
them, as we shall rot insert them"

of life by drudgng through the same routine Of duties

The Editors of weekles are like eight day clocks
every week is enough for them. Their duties are
about i,the proportion to those Of their daily
brethren, there is commonly this difference however,
generally edited unpublished by the
person. and the responsibility of providing the
ways and means devoves solely upon them, whereas
daily editors are paid to edit and not expected to
perform the multitudinous Offices required OF pub

DESTROYED by Fire.

ed to the premises occupied by Major K s. Mofat as
store was destroyed by fire. with its conte,ts consist
ing of 45 bales OF cotton, three Pathnt Cotton
Gins &C. The whole loss is estimated at about $4,000.
The Cotton owned by different partie, and none
heavily upon any one individual. Major Moflat had
shipped nearly all Of his own Cotton the sane day. and
w0 arc gratifed to slate that he only lost bales
There is much uncertainty in regard to the origin of
the fire. and VIC are greatly in hopes that it will bo
found out to have resulted from accident. We should

The Mail Difficulty.

We are likely to bo in tho samo box, only little
more So that We were in ten days ago, unless some
arrangement is effected satisfactorily between Preai-
dent Caldwell and General Campbell. We learned on
Saturday evening from the Charleston papcrs that ex.
Governor Aiken who represents Charleston district in
Congress- had gone to Washington for tho purpose Of
negotiating terms between the disagrceng PARTIES
We hope his mission may be productive of permanent
good in which event. he will have conferred more real
practical and useful benefit upon the public, than
whole host Of certain extraordinary prime Ministers
who are dealing in unnecessary distractions at foreign
Courts.
The Carolinian Of yesterday says, "Wo understand
that agent Of the Post Office Department has arriv
cd to make some arrangement with Mr.. Caldwell rela-
tive to the transportation OF the mails We have
son 10 believe, from the fact that the Department has
sgnifed willingness to settle the account of the COM
pany, and to continue the contract until the first Of
January that something will be effected although this
will be Objectionable to the company, who desire to
finish their present contract, which expires the lst
july 1854 but still there is every reason to hope
there will be an adjustment Of the difficulty"
P. S.-Wo learn by despatch from Columbia, re-
ceived at late hour last evening, that the difficulty
uas been settled.

Railroad Matters.

The recent controversy between the South Carolina
Railroad Company and the Postmaster General has
given rise to various comments and specuations on
the part OF several papers in the State. In some Of
these paragraphs we have casually observed remarks
against the policy pursuedby the Road, condemnatory
other course, and intimating very broadly that the
road being monopoly with exclusive privileges, &C.,
ought to have competition, and that another shorter
and better way should be found from Columbia to
Charleston. This we think, like good deal of other
talk on such matters will not amount to much. We
have already expressed our views in regard to the
mail difficulty, and we DO not consider ourselves
particularly interested in defending the Company as
its organ we shall pass on to the consideration Of
other matters which more local and which inmedi
ately interest US as town and community.
In the matter of dispute between the Railroad Com
pany and the Postmaster General, we gave our opn-
ion to the effect that the former was right and theat
ter wrong. We believe the public has been imposed
upon, and with correspondent of the Charleston Cou
riv ofhc 9th inst, we feel that gross outrage has
been perpetrated."
Justice and candour compels to say that the busi-
ness community Of Camden have been seriously i'm
posed upon for the last two or three months by the
great difficulty thrown in their way in the transpora-
ton and receiving of their merchandise. Goods for
our Merchants have been suffered to remain on the
road between Camden and Charleston, from sheer neg
ligence, and when an effort in one case was made by
faithful Agent the road to remedy as far possi-
be this neglect his orders disobeyed and when
he appealed to one little higher in authority, he was
not sustained, and thus was added insult to injury
Cotton which ought to have beenn Charleston weeks
ago is suffered to remain the platform, no cars pro.
vded for its transit; and thus, compelled to
submit to loss and inconvenience when it is clearly the
fault Of some body on the Railroad Our Merchants
certainly the most passive and amiabe set of men
in the world else knowing their rights, they would
at all hazards dare maintain them.

. Rev. William Martin.

On yesterday, closed his pastoral duties as the
Minister of the Methodist E. Church Of Camden. For
the past two Conference years Mr. Martin has served
US, faithfully and zealously and with entire acceptable
ity to the congregations his departure is attended with
sincere mutual regrets.
We have thought-that the necessity which compels
Methodist congregations to part often, with their
Minister'S was rather unreasonable ore yet We are
by prepared to question the wisdom of those
whose experience in and devotion TO- the interests Of
the church gave them the preempent right of direct
ing in its polity.

The Saudersvlle Georgian of Tuesday,
says: The late season so far has favored the
pea and potatoe crop that we are inclined to
think there will be so large portion of pork
fattened among US as to reduce somewhat the
high price of bacon. The season has also
been unusually favorable for gathering the cot
ton crop; and although it is short in quantity
it must be much better in quality than the av
erage crops usually are. And if farmers could
bnt get fair price for what they have made
all would yet do well. The cornucopia may
not be the fitting emblem for this years pro-
ducts yet there is still enough to supply the
necessaries Of life, and satisfy its reasonable
demands. There is, then no good ground for
complaint, unless it be with ourselves.
