A Trim to Camden.

Awaiting Curself of the polite Invitation
of "Uncle Dick as Col. Sullins, the Gle
yer agent of the Washington and Gaines
Landing stage route, is dubbed, we took a
ssback seat in one of Beman & Co.'S first
rate two-horse coaches, and after few
hours ride found ourself in the neighbor-
ing town of Camden. To undertake to
say all the good things that we ought to
say about her clever citizens, would de-
mand more time and space than we have
at our disposal. Most certainly, more
generous souled set of people We never
happened amongst, and for the kind spirit
of ospi;ality shown us, we return our
warmest thanks.
We found his honor, Judge Stith, at
home, as affable as ever, and, as usual,
posting himself up. on some knotty
question. We had, also, the pleasure of
meeting his late competitor, Judge Cullen,
in whom we found an urbane and refined
gentleman, whose courtesy towards us We
hope some day to be able to repay.
Our friend Jones, of the Herald did
full justice to the liberal spirit for which
the knights of the quill have, ''from time
immemorial," been proverbial, and our
confreres of the South Stamp, Messrs. Alb
bott & Whitfield, laid us under obligations
for their politeness. We wish our brethren
of the ''tripod' much success in all their
pursuits, the politics of the Stamp ex-
cepted, and will be glad to do them the
honors of our sanctum, should they visit
"our village
We saw our Congressman elect, Col.
Warren, who, as ever, seemed to be taking
the world easy, and wearing his "blushing
honors'' with becoming modesty. If the
Colonel will rush bill for the benefit of
the NJ, o. and r. r. Railroad through,
next session, he will deserve the gratitude
of his constituents If we were called
upon to hunt up the best fellow going, We
think we would have to take Elliott, the
secretary of the railroad company. He is
decidedly sound on all the great questions.
Long life to him and a lucky one. But
we are getting personal in our remarks.
We beg your pardon, gentlemen. We
travelled over the carriage establishment
of Messrs Chase & Bro, and also that of
Messrs Wilson & Co. We found very
Iexcellent work at both houses. We think
that the work done by these firms would
compare favorably with any we have seen
anywhere, and are very glad to learn that
- both establishments are well patronized.
Our friend Chase speaks of establishing a
branch of his establishments in Washing
ton, an enterprise which we are very sure
would prove remuncratiyc to him and of
great benefit to the town. See our columns
for advertisements.
I We were shown over the extensive and
wcil-tiied store OF T. NcCoiium & Co.,
whose card can be found on the third pa &c,
and found every description of goods, from
a bridal bonnet delicate enough for a fairy,
and velvet mantle rich enough for a
princess, to the most minute article which
could be looked for in 4 well-arranged store.
Their stock of clothing is large and fine,
and they have any quantity of plantation
goods. Their facilities for shipping cot
ton are unsurpassed, and their punctuality
and responsibility in business is well known
to almost every body in this region OF
country.
Camden, take it altogether, is consid-
erable place, and the evidences of its rapid
growth and ultimate importance as a COM
mercial point are Palpable to the eye of the
most casual observer 4 number of large
and roomy brick stores and warehouses
are being erected. A foundry will soon
be in full blast; the whiz of the escape
pipe of the steam mill salutes the ear.
The private dwellings are numerous and
handsome, and as we have before said, the
people are all clever. We look forward to
another visit there with much pleasure,
and hope to have it always in our power
to chronicle the increasing Importance and
growth of the resources of this, the brisk
est town of Arkansas
Mules.
