FOR THE CONFEDERATE.

Mr. EDITOR: In consequence of the deprc-
dations and roberies that are almost nightly
committed in this town and its surroundings,
the attention of many of the citizens has been
and is turned to the utter incfficicncy of the
present patrol system. Scarcely night passes
that some one does not lose either his hogs,
his poultry. his meat or his corn. Even dwell
lings arc forcibly entered, and daring robberies
perpetrated with impunity. These things
ought not so to be. Where does the blame
lie? Certainly not necessarily with the guard
men, for it is an utter impossitility for two or
three, or even four men to guard we'll town
covering as large an area as Camden does.
The volunteer patrol was, for time, very
efficient, and as long as it was kept up, it was
exceedingly rare to meet with any stragglers
or strollers at night, or to hear of any thieving
or other lawlessness; but being merely vol
unteer association, it died with the excitement
that produced it. The failure of the volun-
teer system has another cause. We all pay
patrol tax-and some think it oppressive to be
compelled to pay the communication fec and
then perform the service.
But is there no remedys We think there
is, and respectfully recommend that the patrol
tax be repealed, and that the citizens in each
Ward be required by law to patrol from nine
o'clock to daylight, whenever so ordered by
the proper authorities 1t has been suggested
that the town council have no authority to
pass such an act. Then we submit that the
captain of the Beat company should be by the
military authorities of the State invested
with the power to order out men to guard
the town. Even martial law would be more
desirable than the present disorder and confu-
sion. C1v1s.

Famine!


Who on this Heaven-born land has any just
conception of famines War, famine and
pestlence have been the scourges of other
peoples and other times, and the two last were
the not unfrequent concomitants of wars
wars waged to "wipe out' nations, which is
the avowed and manifest purpose of the infer
nal war now being waged upon us, and which
is waxing fiercer and more diabolical every
day, and eliminating rapidly to the point at
which the black card will be played! Then,
wherever our foe penetrates, our labor will be
demaoralized more or less, the crops will be
badly cultivated, or rot at the harvest; and
from Mis cause, bad seasons, the withdrawal of
100000 men from the corn and ~heat fields
into the armies, the consumption and devasta-
tom Of the enemy, and the supreme madness
of planting cotton, FAMINE, with all its hor-
rors, may come upon us, and we must fall an
easy prey to the hell-hounds who are persuing
.us to our destruction.
But" say many, "we must plant some
cotton for seed and domestic consumption, next
year" This is ill-considered or disngenuous.
There is not one man in hundred who has
not seed on hand for many paintings, which he
can keep, and cotton for many years domestic
consumption. The seed and the cotton can
be safely kept. We are TOLD, too, in high quar-
ters that we must grow cotton this year, or its
production will be stimulated in other regions,
and we will loose our monopoly. Certainly {;
ancrcased production elsewhere will be the re-
suit. But let the war end, or the blockade be
raised, and let us come to the next planting
season with full grameries and full smoke-hou-
ses, and we will soon drive all dangerous COM
petition from the markets of the world. The
four millions of bales now on hard will bring
as much as eight millions when the markets
open. Why then spend your labor for that
which is neither bread or money?
Make corn, wheat, &C.; raise pork. fatten
your numerous poor cattle; breed mules, hor-
ses and sheep, and fatten and take care of those
you have; dig bitches, embank, drain your
lands; make complete fences, build better negro
houses, make cloth, bagging, wagons, carts, and
manure. And again, we say, with the ports and
markets open, and all these things abounding,
or off your hands, You will at once produce
such quantities of cotton as will restore YOU,

the Commercial Potentates of the world.
