The Camden confederate. [volume] (Camden, S.C.) 1861-1865, 1862-05-23
Latest from New Orleans.
We have New Orleans dates up to the 9Th


effects of the summer climate of the Crescent
City, and it is stated that about sixty have
already died there. They have established q
hospital in Odd Fellows Hall. The papers
continue to be put to great straits for interest
ing matter for their columns, and two or three
are gradually going into the eight literature"
business. and publishing stories, romances, ct
cetera, original and selected.
The Picayune acknowledges the receipt of a
Philadelphia paper, and "regrets that its con-
tents are of such nature as to make it almost
a perfectly sealed book to us, for any practical
purposes, under the recent proclamation of
General butler.
The Pscayune has received copy of the Mo-
bile advertiser of the 4th instant. from which
it makes brief selections, the greater part of
the paper being considered "contraband" in
that quarter. This did not prevent, however,
the assemblage of large crowd on Canal street
to hear the paper read, and we are informed
that when the stirring address of Beauregard
to the "Army of the Mississippi and Elkhorn"
was read out, cheer on cheer rent the air, de-
spite Gen. Butler and his Provost Marsbals
and his Massachusetts Regiments. No inter-
ruption, however, was attempted and the Or
leanois enjoyed the news in their own way.
Nothing proves the fixed resolution of the
Southern people to maintain this contest to
the bitter end than the tenacity with which
they adhere, even in places overrun by the en-
emy, to the Confederate currency. Within
the lines of our own armies every body receives
Confederate money as equal to any currency
that is aAoat, and every body frowns upon the
| slightest effort to decry it. This is one of the
most favorable and cheering signs of the times.
1t proves the fixed determination and the uti
mate purpose ofthe whole community. Meth
er the fall of Nashville, nor of New Orleans
nor of Norfolk nor any other valuable place,
shakes the currency-a fact which proves that
no disaster and no shock can shake the fixed
determination Of the people to work out their
independence through every adversity-Rich-
mond Examiner.
Who ARE ENEMIEsa-The men who are
speculating in food-grinding the poor from
mercenary motives.
The man who directly or, indirectly shake
public confidence in the value of Confederate
money.
The croakers who are filling the people with
doubts Of the final accomplishment Of our pur-
pose
The men who express the opinion that it is
better to be a subject of Lincoln than of any
other country. There are some persons so
speaking. Of course, we will never be put to
the necessity ofmaking the selection, but the
man who entertains A. L. as a second choice,
is not in heart with the cause. Better the
government of the Car of Russia than that of
the miserable administration of our enemy.
Hatred of him is the only legacy which he
can leave US and that ought to be nursed until
