Our Answer to Spectator.

In another column will bo found tho communication
OF our correspondent Spectator" to which desire
in as brief and conciec mannor rs We may bo able
to reply Tho author Of this communication is gen.
teman for whom we have long entertained moro than
common regard and our replies to his several propo
sitions shall bc dictated by no spirit Of unkindness
or desire to deal unfairly with his production. We
arc sorry to differ with our respected friend, but as
Doctors sometimes will differ he must Of course allow
us the same privilege which he claims OF dissenting
from our vews. That however, ought not to mako
any personal difference among friends wherever roa-
son and argument fail then willing to abandon
tho position which wo may occupy upon this or any
other question.
TO the first direct interrogatory of our friend we
answer: We did not readily endorse" tho principles
Of tho American Party whilst it sought secresy for
strength and protection and darkness to shield its
proceedings" but condemned then, as we do now,
any underground dark lantern operations preerng
what il said or done to bo in the light OF full orbed
day. This We conceive a sufficient answer 30 far as
we are concerned 10 tho objection Of secresy in tho
new party This was the great bugbear with u.s. but

views and is not this admissible in free country

Grand Division at Anderson.

We regret not being able to attend the meeting Of
the Grand Division at Anderson G. H. on tho 26th u
We learn that the occasion was Of interest, and
will no doubt produce favorable effect upon our
friends of the mountain region. The editor of the
Souhcru Enterprise was there and we copy paragraph
or two from his interesting notice Of the meeting.
We expect to publish tho proceedings in a week or
two, or, as soon as we can. The Enterprise says
The meeting of the Grand Division was one
Of harmony and interest. Many Divisions were
represented, and considerable enthusiasm pre-
vailed On Thursday evening the citizens con-
vened in the Court House, and were addressed
by A. NJ. Kennedy, esq, of Camden, Gen. O. Z.
Edwards, ofSpartanburg, and Warron D. Wilkes
and intelligent, and the addresses such as gave
satisfaction to all and cvinced display of ability
on the part of the speakers that would have
done justice to any subject.
On Friday a procession, composed Of the
Grand Division, the Anderson Division. and the
Cadets OF Temperance, was formed and marched
to grove in the vicinity of the place, where
large and enthusiastic crowd of ladies and gen.
tlcmen had assembled. Grand Worthy Patriarch,
B. D. Townsend, introduced B. G. Pressly, Esq,
Of Charleston, who was listened to with delight
for an hour, in a speech repete with sound ar.
gument, good sense and fine humor. Hon. j.
b. O'Neal followed in a speech Of more than an
hours length, on the prohibition feature of the
temperance reform. This speech met hearty
response from every quarter. We feel that this
meeting has done much good for the temper.

Gamewell's lightning Machine.

We do no not know the technical appellation Of our
friends invention but presume its character has
been sufficiently tested by the recent heavy storms of
lightning and thunder which have visited US this sea-
son, particularly for the last few days Mr. Gsmowel
has received Letters Patent for this invention and is
now prepared to give the most ndubitable proofs Of
its agency in efFectually removing the atmospheric
electricity from the wires without tho slightest injury
10 the magnet, and thereby preventing the usual ia
terruPtion in the transmission Of messages during the
prevalence of thundor storm. This invention is
likely to provo Of vast benefit to Telegraph Compa-
nics saving thereby thousands Of dollars, besides
derng The occupancy Of an office perfectly safe whilst
the elements are raging without.
We trust that remuneratvo pccuniary reward is
in store for our friend and fellow citizen, his genius
and industry richly merits it.

Of that subject in principle and substance" In this
the American Platform goes beyond the Democratic
Platform. Whilst the latter promises to "abide by
and adhere to the execution of the compromise mea
sures" merely, the former promises to maintain the
existing laws as final settlement" OF the subject
of slavery The Nebraska Kansas act repeating tho
Missouri Compromise is among tho "exsting laws"
referred to, and therefore the American Platform
pledges the party to oppose any and all attempts to
repeal those laws so as to reestablish the Missouri
Compromise and to maintain the Fugitive Slave Law,
by resisting its repeal, and obeyng its mandates"
If it is "ono Of these stupendous political tricks
which our friend seems to think, it will soon DO dis
covered and will cease in the land but that is yet to
be proved.
Tho closing chapter of our friend touches theme
of grateful interest," and should be untrue to the
promptings Of our Dature to deny the tribute Of graft.
tude to the memory Of the noble foreigner who lies
entombed upon our classic soil, rich with fruitful
memories of the great past that tried mems souls
But the fact that DcKalb gave Lis life to the
cause of human liberty, is no argument against the
American Party. Such spirits % Lafayette and De
Kaib will be as much as over honored By Americans,
and no prescription will be able TO eace their memo
rlcs aud names from American hearts, or the page Of
American glory. We reiterate the sentiment an.
nounced on 3lst ult., An ,rho haze sought a home
upon our soil and conduct themselves good citizens are
sure of being ho4oaed and protected"
1t s matter Of small moment 10 US where we are
"set down." we acknowledge no party obligations
We wear no party collar with the name Of anybody on
it, we arc free to express our opinions when and how
we please, and expect so to do even at the risk Of
being set down as one of the native American Party,
with strong prediction fo7 the Know Notbings."

Telegraph Matters.

From an abstract of the proceedings Of tho Annual
Meeting Of the Washington and New Orleans Tele-
graph Company, it will be seen that not to have
Telegraph OiGcc much longer in Camden, unless a
company Of enterprising citizens take tho matter in
hand and buy out tho present line from Fayetteville
N. c., to Columbia or, from this place to Columbia,
connect as an independent Company. The Offices at
Fayetteville, Chcraw and Camden, do not pay sui-
cent amount to meet their expe nses and consequently
the Company have determined to throw them out Of
line. The question is: Itayo they tho right to do
this2-s in good faith to those who were induced to
take stock in the liue between Columbia and Fayete
vile, now to turn them out neck and heels? Corpo.
rations arc said to have no souls and wo may add,
cOnscienccs neither. It is q question whether the
Company can do this What arc those interested to
do' So far as we are concerned in Camden the Tele
graph is Of very little use for experience is not
in its favor yet it may DO that others have been moro
fortunate.

Tho ArtesiaM We'll.

In another place we publish the report made
to the City Coulcil, of the progress Of the Ate
sian We'll in this city. We refer our readers to
this report, as deserving an attentive persual.-
The We'll has now been forced down to the depth
Of $50 feet, and at this depth stream of wa
ter is secured, with a propuIsive force equal to
the pressure Of 25 feet head, which, throug gh the
tube Of 3 is inches internal diameter, will dis
charge feet above the surface OF the earth from
20 to 4 5 gallons pcrminute. The water from
beds of sand and gravel, and is by reason cf oc.
casional entrances of sand into the bottom of
the tube, that its ingress is impedcd and the
quanty discharged varied. The full supply Of
water that can thus be obtained in twenty four
hours is 64,S00 gallons, while the calculated
quantity with the same time, aud without the
impeachment Of the sand, would be l04,329, or
ninety two gallons per minute Of course, even
this greatest possible quantity would be quite
insufficient to supply the city with water, but the
experiment is not therefore by any means, to be
held as proftlcss. 4 fact has been established
that there is water beneath the city which can
be reached by means of artesian wells; and the
establishment of this fact is quite a sufficient re,
turn for all the large amount Of money that has
Zen expended to render the matter certain. 1t
! remains now but 10 nerforatc other wells till a
sufficient number to supply the water necessary
to the city's uSc shall be obtained, or, what is
better, rs recommended in the report to the City
Council, to cxcavate one large ono which shall be
equal to the same supply.
We congratulate our citizens on the thus far
favorable result Of this enterprise 1t was enter
ed upon and has been steadily persevered in un-
be di$courasng Many excellent authorities
upon such matters have declared that an Arte-
sian well which should bring permanent stream
OF water from beneath Charleston was an impos-
sibilty--that tie geological formation Of the
land whercon the city is founded would admit Of
no such institution. The IDEA existed however,
ii. ut there Was water to be- reached by boring in
the earth, and accordingly many years ago we
find thai Mr. Lonystreet expended a thousand
dollars to poLctratc TO the depth of fifty seven
feet, but without any satisfactory result. Subse-
quently second experiment was made under d.
rccton of the City Council, in the face Of the
unfavorable aud very decided opinion ofsome Of
the most distinguished geologis:s in the country.
The bore was sunk to the depth OF 335 l.2 feet,
but without coming upon any water. Other
and lesser unfortunate attempts have, from time
to time, been made, and other unfavorabe and
decided opinions given, but the whole is set
aside BY the moro fortunate result which we now
have the pleasure to record. Our artcsian we'll
is a fact.-Standard.

81 900; the Manchester Railroad line must be
finished, which will cost about $4,000 more; ;
and about rs miles of wire must be renewed in
the swamps near New Orleans.
In view Of the urgent necessity for completing
the Manchester Railroad Line, the Executive
Council sometime since authorized the Presl
dent to contract 4 loan not exceeding $500 !;
but the authority has not been exercised.
The Council at the same time authorized the
President, rs soon as the Line on the Manches-
ter Railroad should be in successful operation,
to take down the wire on the old route from Raj
eigh to Columbia, or to sell the. Line 10 any par
ty who will keep it up without charge or respon
sibi!ity to this Company. The Office expenses
at Fayetteville, Cheraw and Camden, being all
intermediate offices on this Section, exceed their
receipts by near 81 900 more. 1t is very de-
sirable that the facilities enjoyed by those villa
ges should not be withdrawn; bu, it would not
be reasonable to expect the Company to pay for
their accommodation.
The following resolution was offered by Mr.
Dobbin, of Fayetteville:
ResolUcd, That the proposal made by the Ex-
ccutivc Council, and communicated to this meet
ing by the President in his Report, viz: to take
down the Line between Raleigh and Fayetteville
or to make some other arrangement for the keep
ing up of that Line. does not meet with the ap-
proval Of the meeting; and that it is due to tic
stockholders of Fayetteville that the Line be
kept up as heretofore.
The foregoing Resolution, on being put to
vote, was lost by a large majority.
