ST. M1cHAEI's CLooK.-This venerable time
keeper now present to the world clean face
and pair of hands that mark the feeting
hours with une1ring certainty. The dial plate
was repainted some days since, and yesterday
the black numbers were added and can now be
easily seen at distance of several squares
It was thought that gliding the tips of the
hands would render their movements more dis
tinct, and this plan was tried on the south
face, BUTT did not fulfil expectations, and the
hands will be painted black, as originally in
tended. The horologist, who has charge OF
the striking apparatus, has not yet been able
to arrange it satisfactorily, and the erratic
strokes were the cause Of much comment on
Change yesterday. ..-..-.ez,-.---- >--',- -
{ A SUCCESSOR TO DnL.-A correspondent
writing from Camden states that on the otn
instant Radical convention was held IN that
place to nominate successor to Dill, anu lor
other purposes. AS the previous meeting,
which nominated White was not considered
legitimate, not having been called according to
Gunter or Jillson, that nomination was thrown
out, and one John A: Brnen (white) nominate
ed instead. Birnen is from North Carolina,
but has lived in Camden for several years. He
lost an arm from the bursting Of cannon fred
in celebrating the fall OF Fort Sumter, and has
Of late been on the most intimate terms with
the freedmen, politically and socially. White
was for long time disconsolate, but after can
vassing the town and ascertaining the strength
Of the convention nominee, he, with the in
gratitude Of republics, became disgusted, and
retired into the shades of private LIE. Tnere
are many persons in Camden who are still
strong in the faith that he will yet go to Co
Iumbia, Notwithstanding the later nomination.

!. WA1HAL1A,-Thi quiet little village, seated
among the hills near the mountains, in. the
northwestern regions Of our State, seems to
be but little known TO- or people in the low
country, and yet it disadvantages which will
recommendi it to those who may desire to pass
q month or two out Of the relaxing climate Of
the sea shore, or TO inyalids seeking to renew
their health. Being contiguous to the noun
tains (it is quite near to the great tunnel OF
the Blue Ridge Raiboad), it has a bracing at
mosphere, cool nights, qand excellent water,
as cold when taken rom the well as Tit had
ice in it. Being the present terminus Of the
Blue Ridge Railroad, IL is conveniently accessi-
BILE to visitors, and has 9 daily mail, an adj
vantage not possessed by many Of the interior
villages Of the State. '......'.
But it may be inquired what sort Of accom-
naodations does the village afford for the COM
forts Of the visitor or invalid. These are very
good. At the Walhalla Hotel (owned by MIR.
Biemann, one OF the few Democratic sena-
tors to thei present Radical Legislature in Co
lumbia) q good, table is found, provided with
an abundance and variety, with attentive SER
wants and q most industrious, obiging land
lady, who, IN the absence Of Mr.. Biemann, is
very watchfpl over the comforts of her guests,
especially Of thoee who may be sick. But one
Of the distinguishing peculiarities OF Walhalla
is their moderate price for board. Whilst in
most of the hotels In the State, from Charles
ton upwards through all the interior towns,

cents to three dollars per day, or from fifteen
dollars, to twenty-ope dollars per week, the
price at Walhalla for board equally as good, If
not better, is but seventy-ave cents per day. or
five dollars per week. very important con-
sideration IL these times Of pecuniary distress
among our people.
Walhalla is surrounded, too, by an indus
trious, thrifty German population, from whom
the village receives good supply Of poultry,
fresh butter. vegetables and fruit in their sea-
SON, all OF which may be procured at moderate
prices. ...........

MORE AND JnIsoN BLOW THEIR HoRNs.-Last
week the Rev. Congressman Whittemore and
Senator Justus Z. Jilson held forth in the
African Church OF Camden. A correspondent
kindly furnishes some account Of the dusky
meeting. Whittemore said that although Sey-
