MATTERS OVER TIE RIVER.

THE CITY CoNvENTIoN.--Last evening
the delegates of The Union patty for the several
Wards OF Camden held their City Convention,
tor the purpose OF nominating municipal
ticket. Paul G. Budd, ESQ, present incumbent,
was renominated for Mayor. Although there
was considerable competition at the primary
meetings to secure delegates for other Candl-
dates, yet the nomination OF Mr. Budd was
almost q forcgone conclusion. No warmer and
more energetic friend OF the Union cause than
MAYOR Budd can be found in the city, and the
arduous duties devolved upon hlm during the
past twosyears of his sofficial career have been
performed with the utmost promptltude and cor
Tectntcs. 1lc Republicans in Camden have a
majority OF nearly tour hundred, and Mr.. Budd's
election is, therefore, a matter of certainty No
true Union man should refuee to support him.
TIE CITY MARsHALsHIp.-As was eX-
pected for some weeks previous to the sitting of
the City Convent on, John W. Campbell, Feq.,
the present City Marshal, was nominated last
evening Tor the came position. The faithful dig
CHARGE OF his duties entitled Mr.. Campbell to the
nomination he has just received, and an appre-
ciative people and party will confirm the action
of the Convention, in electing him by an in
creased majority. This will be deserving COM
pllment to him, to the Convention, as well as to
the National Union party OF the city of Camden.
KoMINATED.-At the Union Convention
held in the Union League Rooms, at Fourth and
Federal streets, last evening, General George M.
Robson was nominated Tor City Solicitor, +. II.

VINO WAS RESPONSIBLE Much has
been said about the sutferings Federal
prisoners have endured from the inability
of the Confederate authorities to properly
provide for them, and the refusal of The
United States authorities to exchange them.
In February, 1868, the week of the evac-
uation Of Wilmington, North Carolina,
several thousand Federal prisoners were
collec;edi at Wilmington to be exchanged.
but when the flag of truce was sent to
Schofeld to know if he would receive them.
he replied to Hoke that it was no time for
an exchange of prisoners, and they had to
be sent back again to the interior Of North
Carolina. In reference to this, General
Bradley L. Johnson, in his examination
on the trial of Major Gee, at Raleigh, said
@. Do you know any difficulty you had
about getting these prisoners exchanged

Poetry cG Labor.

Toll swings the az, and forests bow;
The seeds break out in radiant bloom,
Rich harv vests smile behind tie plow,
And cities cluster round the loom;
Where towering domes and taperng spires
Adorn the vale and crown the hill,
Stout labor lights its beacon fires,
And plumes with smoke the forge and mill
The monarch oak, the woodlands pride,
Whose trunk is scanned with lightning scars
Toll launches or the restless tide,
And there unrolls the flag OF stars;
The engine, with It's lungs Of flame,
And ribs of brass and joints of steel,
From Labors plastic fingers came,
With sobbing valve and whirling wheel.
'Tis labor works the magic press.
And turns the crank in hives of toll,
And beckons angels down to bless
Industrious hands on sea and soil.
Here sun-browned Toll. with shining spade
Links lake to lake. with silver ties.
Strung thick with palaces of trade.
And temples owcring to the skies

THE WAY TO AvoID CALUMNY. .--"lf

consider whether he hath truth on his
side ard ifso, reform thysclf. that his cen

must learn to sing better" Plato being
told that he had many enemies who spoke

FARM work call in a Heap

This is likely TO occur on the farm at
this time Of year The planting season is
gone, and that Of cultivating and harvest
ing IS present. The problem for the ferns
er to solve, is how to perform his hoeins
and cultivating, haying and harvesting in
proper season, and not slight or neglect
any part OF the work. For it is fact that
in many Of the States it has become inn
ro.sib,e, Of late years. TO advance the corr.
crop sufficiently 10 complete the work on
it before it Is time to begin haying. Such
is the case this year over large area Of
the country And further, there are many
other jobs on the farm that demand time
and labor strengthening is not over,
there may he some manure to be hcapcd to
get it in condition for topdressing the
wheat in the fall. and the summer fallow
ought to be plowed this month at the latest,
to secure one Of the best advantages Of a
fallow-the chance to clean the ground
So the farmer has his hands full WORK
and If, ia addition, the weather is RAINY
he is apt to be somewhat gloomy and dis
couraged. The remedy lies in skillful plan
ming of work, the use Of labor saving i'm
plements plenty of help, and energy in di-
recting and performing the labor. The
farmer cannot afford to waste 4 days time
at present. Visitors that claim his atten-
tion from business are sellom wclcone. and
''city cousins and friends who admire his
strawberries and cream and the smell OF
new mown hay, shouldn't object 70 ,nlk>
