Of mines has died out. All day We

storm which for many long months has
been driven by the fierce breath of
glnpowdcr against it, The retreating
enemy yshas not spared it, and the agcn-
cy OF fire and the shock of great cxpIo-

tice in the last Journal, your timely and peril

vile; am confident there is no good reason
why the Train from Kingsville on "Wednesday
and Saturday should not bring up the Mail
from Columbia, and remain at our depot at
least until halfpast 2 o'clock; and when it is
remembered that the evening train is not due
here until S.l5, it might even remain until Z
o'clock, which would allow tvo hours and hay
to run thirty eight miles, and three hours and
forty fire minutes to return the same distance.
The other points Of grievance you have SO fully
set forth, that deem it unnecessary to allude
to them, but in conclusion to suggest that our
worthy lntendaut call a Town Meeting, and
let the citizens give expression to their sense OF
the injustice done to US under the present ar.
rangemcnts CAMDEN.

MFR. Editor 1t is gratifying indeed to the
lovers Of good order and tho observances OF
the Holy Sabbath, to see the action of our
I own Council in reviving the ninth section of
an Ordinance which is as fellows: "Sec. g..
That the Bars or Stands in Taverns, and the
doors of each Store where liquor is sold, shall
be closed on Sunday, and it shall not be lawful
to sell liquors of any description on any part of
the said premises of said Taverns or Stores on
that day."
This is as it should be; selling liquor is con.
nected with the Grocery business in our Town,
and should therefore be like every other husi
ness, entirely suspended on the Sabbath day ;
to accomplish this, let gentlemen who cannot
do without drink ono day, buy what they
want on Saturday and drink it at home; The
fourth commandment is as binding upon liquor
selling as any other business, for it cannot be
called an act Of mercy or necessity. This ninth
section having been so opportunely revived, it
is hoped that it is not merely revived on paper,
but that it will be rightly and impartiatly ell
forced. There is another feature of the Law
which deserves some attention-it is to see
that the conditions Of the QUART License are
observed, for the law strict y forbids the drink
inc on the premises where sold, any part OF
that quart MougA sold under a license; Sec
9th S. L., 5G4. There are in our State, laws
which, if enforced, by the agents of those laws
woald do much to stop the evils Of the traffic
and improve the morals even Of those engaged

tunately those agents have trusted too much to
issuing their edic,s on paper and leaving them
to enforce themselves, how they have succeeded
the past will show, but what is past, is past, we
hope the future is more propilious for

We copy the following extra. issued from the
Office of the Galveston Civilian Of the l4tll
inst:
BY the arrival of the steam slip Louisiana
from Indianola this morning, we have received
from a San Antonia friend, the following highly
important aud exciting Intelligence and address
from the gallant Capt. Callahan. The Rnlicon
has been crossed, and American blood has agai,
flowed on the soil Of Mexico -Amcricau troops
are again fortified on the west bank Of the RIO
Grande, meraced BY a combination Of Indians,
Mexicans and renegade negros, and appeal to
their countrymen for reinforcements to aid in
completing what they have so noblv begun, a
complete chastiscment and subjugation of the
relentless murderers Of our women and children
the entire overthrow of the Scminoles, Lipans
and their renegade Negro and Mexican allies,
who have for two years used the national line
of the Rio Grande as a shield, a wall Of fprotec-
ton in their bloody forays upon, and retreats
from our frontiers. They must be routed, an.
initiated before life and property on the frontier
of Texas are safe.
BY special advices we learn that Captain
Henry f. McCuoch aud others are raising
volunteers to join Callahan. We have neither
time nor space to extend our remarks.
Young Willis Jones, whose death we observe
with heartfelt sorrow. was the son Of our es.
teamed friend tie Hon. W. E. Jones. whose
overseer Nr. Lawhon was recently murdered by
these same IHdisns, wlio was mainly instrumen.
ia! in inducing Gov. Peasa to call Capt. Callahan
into tie service, and whose voice Of warning has
for nosths been heard through the press of this
State.

ACCIDENT on THE SouTH CAROLINA RAIL.

ACCIDENT on THE South CAROLINA RA1L.
ESaA RP9e on IL 9 HH G9 S fsSSs
met with serious accident yesterday. TC'
following is reliable account of the occur.
renee: About mile and half above Branch
vile, the conductors car attached to the train
was thrown from the track by the displacement
Of a bar of iron and completely demolished.
The car contained about twenty persons, all
of whom were more or less injured receiving
cuts and bruises, but no one seriuusl y except
Capt Crews, the conductor Of the train, negro
boy twelve or thirteen years old, and one of
the train hands. Capt. Crews injuries are Of
an internal character, and their natureo or extent
could not be ascertained. The negro boy, it
is thought, will recover under proper medical
treatment. The train hand had one of his.an.
kles crushed and will be compelled to endure
amputatlon of the foot.
The passengers in the other cars who had
escaped injury altogether, very promptly and
humanely rendered al! the assistance they ycould
under the circumstances in rescuing the injured
from the wreck. Mr.. England, The baggage
master, who was himself badly hurt, Mr.. Mathe.
son, Adams & Cos Express messenger, and
Mr.. Rabb the engineer, deserve particular
mention for their efforts.
