verscd witch gentleman who recently left tho
rear of McClcllan's army, and who says he saw

They deny that the engineer of the train was
killed. The Yankees, says the Express, admit
loss in the two days battle of the Seven
Pines, in killed, wounded, missing and demor-

iron THE CAMDEN coNrEpEaArE.1

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t has become a common
practice for boys and youths to try the speed of
their horses within the corporate limits of the
town, especially on DeKalb and Littleton
streets, and this in the evening just at time
when there are more carriages on the streets
than any other hour of the day. These young
gentlemen ought to know that racing horses in
such places is against the law; to say the least
the practice is extremely dangerous. No car
riage can be driven on tho streets at such a
time without great danger to ladies and child
rem taking their usual drive. We hope this
hint will be sufficient to put stop to the prac-
tice, but if not the Town Council must be
called upon to exercise their authority.

Sunday Mails.

a We werc pleased to see petition from our
citizens against the running of the cars on the
Sabbath day, on tho branch of the railroad
from this place to Kingsville. 1t appears some
complaint has been made to the President of
the South Carolina Railroad that the contract
for carrying the mails was not complied with,
inssmuch as the agreement was for daily
mail, for specified length of time. We have
had no Sabbath running of the cars for several
years, and of course no mail on that day
With this our citizens have been perfectly sat
is6ed. AS Christian people we believe in the
observance Of the Sabbath, and letting those
who are Connected with the Railroad and Post
Office have the benefit of the day of rest, and
the opportunity of attending the house of God
with their families, as other citizens have
And we are happy to say they avail themselves
OF it. The result is manifest in the unexcep-
tionable department of all concerned with tn.
Camden Branch of the Railroad. We would
be doing injustice to discriminate, as agents.
conductors, engineers, fremen, and all others
engaged, are, each in himself thoroughly COM
petent and attentive in the respective positions
assigned them. We believe nothing is lost in
temporal point of view in the observance OF
the Sabbath. And that community of people
who set aside the regard due to the injunction
to remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy
will give fearful evidence of it in degeneracy
OF morals. Let all, then, sign the petition to
continue the running Of the cars, as for some
time past.

MOBILE, June 24.--A special despatch to
the Tribune dated Grenada, June %, states
that arrivals from Memphis report that the de-
feat of Curtis by Hindman in Arkansas is gen
orally credited above. Col. Fitch, with two
Indiana Regiments, was sent up White River
to reinforce Curtis. He attacked our batteries
at St. Charles, seventy miles above, and with
the aid of gunboats and land forces succeeded
in capturing them by an attack in the rear
A hot shot from our battery entered tho maga-
zine of the Mound City, and blew her into
atoms, killing all but twelve out Of IT'S men
on board. The Federal cavalry in considerable
force appeared on Saturday at Cold Water
Depot, on the Mississippi and Tennessee Rail-
road, thirty miles above Memphis. Cotton is
being burnt throughout the upper counties by
the planters Carolinian.
Who is "GovERNoR JoHNsoN.-Andy
Johnson, Lincoln's Military Governor of Ten.
nessee, is native of North Carolina. His
grandfather was hung during the first Revolu-
ton, as Tory marauder and spy in the en-
ploy of Tarlton. His cousin Madison johnson.
was hung for horse stealing, some twenty years
ago, by regular verdict of twelve Of his peers,
as the law of that State directs. Andy having
more sense than the balance of the family, left
his native State at an early day, went to Ten
nessee, and turned his attention to politics
He has, therefore, been more fortunate in his
villainy than his illustrious ancestors were.-
The day of retribution may yet overtake him.

We have recently. seen a letter written by
Messrs. G.. A. q R. @. Ca1soLM, of Charles
ton, from which we make tho following extract
1--WE have been selling salt at IS per bushel,
and s0iN continue to do so, so long as zoe Keep
our vorks in operation, notwithstanding what
others may charge"
They only regret that their works are so
limited that they cannot meet tithe of the
demands made upon them-but. hopo soon to
be able to do something for us here. They
are not selling the salt to specuiators and ex-
tortioncrs but arc giving the privilege of pur-
chase to the consumers, and especially "to the
families of volunteers now in service" We
chronicle this fact, not for the purpose of pras.
ing the patriotism Of the Messrs. CHIsoLM-
for they are only doing as every lover of his
country will do-but that our people may re-
member them-believing that when the day
ofpeacc and prosperity shall again gladden. our
land, they will see that they suffer no detri-
Inent.

~ BhtlSr, Ficsysso s. cettaisly an ingenious

First,it .preludes every Louisianian from

This turns ont all the judges, magistrates, shcr-
iffs, notaries and pubfic attorneys 1t will va
cate the offices oft municipal government,
the school boards, and all Offices of every class
ofpuhlic administration. Butler by one dash
OF his pen has thus inflicted grievance which
the Creoles Of Cuba have long complained Of as
the most noxious and trying of all the evils of
Spanish tyranny-to wit: to exclude the ma.
tives from all share in the public administra-
ton.
Second-the order not only condemns tho
refractory Southcrners to exclusion from all
public office, but it sweeps every individual from
beyond the pale of protection of the law ("ex-
cept protection from personal violence') who
refuses to take the Federal oath of allegience
No favor shall be asked for or received by, "no
protection, privilege, or passport" granted, "no
money paid, property or other valuable thing
delivered to any one except he swear to sup
port the Government whose viccroy is Butler.
Such is the text What will it be under

his check paid at bank kunless he swears. He
shall not collect his rents for his negro hire
unless he swears. He shall do no act or thing
that freeman may do, and enjoy no privilege
that freeman is entitled to, "save protection
from personal violence" unless he takes the
oath of allegiance to support the Constitution

BUTLER's PRocLAMAT1oN.--The New York
Times, for wonder, does not approve Of the
brute Buffers proclamation:
If Gen. Butler had issued any such order, he
should be forthwith dismissed from the army.
1t would be a disgrace to the service-an infa-
nous outrage upon the morality and decency
of the country and the age. 1t purports to be
warning to the ladies, out is really license.
expressly given to the soldiers, to treat as
women Of the town." every female who may,
"by word. gesture or movement insult or show
contempt for any officer or soldier of the Uni
ted States" Such insults may be very annoy
ing, and may deserve punishment, or, at least,
measures of repression, though we believe that,
as yet, they are not offenses against any code
of laws, either civil or military. But to COM
NIT their punishment to the unrestrained and
sanctioned license of rough soldiery would
be stride towards the brutality of the most
barbarous ages, from which we trust the Union
cause will be protected. Such an order would
infict lasting disgrace on the officer who should
issue it, and bring the cause he professed to
serve into just and general contempt

EVACUATION OF CUMBERLAND GAP.-The
Atlanta and Knoxville papers announce the
fact that Cumberland Gap has been evacuated
by the Confederate forces. The Knoxville
Register says:
The force which has so long been stationed
here has fallen back, we learn, to a position on
Church River. That croakers may not draw
any conclusions from this movement distressing
to the nerves Of those who have of late been
90 shaky" in regard to the safety Of East
Tennessee, we may state that before the Gap
was evacuated, the Federals had left there, af-
ter so blockading the road in their fight, that
they could not return if they would. In the
opinion Of some of our military men, the aban-
donment Of the Gap has long been held to be
polite measure.

sells had arrived from the North with carcoes
OF ice and provisions. Ice was selling at five
cents pound. The Federal soldiers were en-
camped at different localities, and garrisons
were quartered at the Custom House, Mint and
other public buildings. Troops were also sta
toned at Carrolton, Baton Rogue, and several
places on tho river. The strictest discipline is
observed among the soldicry, and the slightest
offense against the citizens, or violation of rules
are punished with great severity.

about $50 men each, and adds that there arc
regiments in the field that do not number over

estimate the actual force of either the Federal
or Confederate army by an enumeration of the
